CLOSING HANCOCK STREET.
Opinion on the Application of the d.
a o. Railroad Company.

George E. Hamilton, counsel for the
Baltimore ard Ohio Railroad Company, re-
Gently wrote to the Commissioners stating
that the company, which is the owner of
the land in square 67S, is about to extend
its coal dumps in said square by the cree
ton of several new ones. The attorney
also stated that the improvement contem-
plated would necessitate the closing Of
Hancock Street, a place street in said
square, and the attorney requested the
necessary permit for the occupation Of
the square.
The matter having been referred to the
Attorney for the District for legal opin-
ion on the subject, Mr. Duvall handed in
his report yesterday, which in effect ad-
vises the Commissioners to grant the re-
quest of the company
THE railroad company" says Mr.. Du-
vail, lis owner Of the whole Of this square,
but there is an alley running north and
south through it. which alley is an orig
inal alley and has received the designa-
tion of Hancock Street, and the company
now desires to extend its tracks for the
purpose of coal dump over this alley"
The attorney quotes at length from the
act of Congress approved March 3, 1885,
authorizing the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company to locate and construct its
road in the city Of Washington, which in
effect says that the said company shall
have the right to extend and construct
tracks of railway into any lot or lots held
by them, provided that the free use of aLy
street or avenue shall not be impaired
thereby. In Mr. DuvaITs opinion the COM
pany under this law is authorized to con-
stract tracks into this square
ar. Duvall then states that the applica-
| ton as originally presented contemplated
crossing over and closing Hancock Street,
but the attorney for the railroad now has
amended the application so as to request a
permit to construct a branch railroad
across the street or alley.
Mr.. Duvall introduces several other ref
erences to the laws Of the District and the
States, all Of which lead up to and afford
a basis for his opinion. which he gives as
follows:
while the Commissioners are without
authority TO grant a permit to close Han
cock Street for the purpose of extending
the company's coal dump into square 678,
they are authorized to permit the crossing
over the same for such purposes upon such
conditions as that the structure will not
impair the free use of the alley called
Hancock Street

COLLECTION OF ASHES.
The Municipality VIII Remove Gem
eraI Refuse After August 4.

The contract between the District and
r. " Rusk, for the collection and disposal
of ashes and miscellaneous refuse, will go
into effect on August l. After that date
ashes and other waste will be collected
regularly fram house to house.
For some time the Street Cleaning De-
partment has been considering the means
TO be employed TO enable housekeepers to
distinguish between the presence of the
garbage collector and the general refuse
collector at their gates. Finally, after
some study of the question Superintendent
Stutler has determined that the garbage
collectors shall carry a horn and the col
lectors Of ashes and general waste shah
be designated by a gong on their carts.
In talking of the matter yesterday to
reporter for The Times MIR. Stutler stated
that ashes and refuse will be collected at
the same time by the same collector,
though the material will be kept separate.
He said that the contractor cannot be re-
quired under his contract to remove old
accumula lions Of ashes and refuse. Conse>
quently, he said, Nit will be necessary for
all who have not already done so to re-
move the same at their own expense. Mr..
Stutler explained that the contract only
provided for the collection from private
residences. Therefore, he thinks, the pri-
vate collector will still be called upon TO
remove ashes and refuse from places not
provided for.
It was further stated that after August
! all private collectors would be compelled
20 comply with the regulations both as to
the collection and removal. which were
recently published by the department for
general distribution.
Mr. stutler is looking forward with con-
fidence to the successful working of the
collection of ashes and refuse under the
system which viii go into effect next
Wednesday. He IS OF the opinion that af-
ter a short experience with the removal Of
ashes and refuse by the municipality it Will
be recognized that the city has taken
long step forward in its development.

Caldwell As::Viewed from
H.. Abroad.

Caldwell is Wideawake town, -
says a recent issue Of the Idaho
World, always on the lookout for
anything that will form basis for
more growth and prosperity. Cald-
well seldom sleeps, and when it
does it sleeps with one eye open.
The people of that place have lately
made arrangements for another ca
nal that will irrigate $4,000 acres
of land north Of town. Surveys
are now being made for the electric
road from Caldwell to the Willow
Creek district. Last year the Ca1d-
wel1ites put UP cash for -four mill
and creamery, and money is now
being raised for a WOODEN mill.
Caldwell has long been recognized
as town composed of wideawake,
rust1ing and enterprising and ener-
| get1G citizens. AND THIS energy
counts, for it is a concentrated en-
ergy, always acting in one direc-
ton, and in the right direction.
1.-THE Caldwell people always pull
together for the good of their town,
realizing that in union there is
strength. Energy that divides and
pulls in opposite directions destroys
its own force SO far as effectiveness
is concerned, and is worse thar
wasted. Other towns i'll Idaho
might learn a valuable lesson from
the united energy of enterprisine

be Of special interest to residents OF
this section who wish to bid on
contracts for carrying mail on star
routes. The decision is that men
who do not live near the mail routes
cannot furnish a proper bond for
the faithful performance of the star
route contracts. This is a direct
blow at the big mail contractors in
the east who take western mail con
tracts and then sublet them. If the
new policy is continued It IS going
to be of material advantage to local
residents to feel that they are the
only competitors and that some out
slider is not going to cut their

The Cflan1inade Concert.

The ladies Of the Chaminade
Society gave their annual concert
last Tuesday evening at the Presby-
terrain church. The audience was
very enthusiastic and many mem
bers were warmly applauded, and
the ladies forced to appear again.
Every one was delighted with the
chorus work, which showed not
only careful preparation, but much
ability on the part Of all. We fee
that special mention is due the
piano duet by Mesdames Morrison
and Ollie, the vocal duet by Mes
danes Redway and Olmstead, the
violin solo by Mrs. Olmstead, the
vocal solo by Mrs. RedWay and the
violin trio. Caldwell is justly
proud of her musical talent and WE
regret that the society has disband
ed for the summer and hope for
reorganization in the early fall.
