Only a Part of the Firemen TO Pa
rade This Year.

Chief Engineer r. w. Dutton, of the
Fire Department, has offered 4 suggestion
to the District Commissioners that only
a part Of the engine and truck companies
shall take part in the annual parade this
year. The date of the parade of the Po-
lice and Fire Departments is set for De-
cember u.
Chief Dutton recommends that eight en-
gine companies. three trucks, and two
chemical engines remain in quarters on
duty to guard against fire which might
break out during the parade.
Chief Dutton states that the Depart
ment would then be represented by eight
steam engines, three trucks, one chemical
companies in the parade, under command
Of the Senior Assistant Chief Engineer.
MIR. Dutton gives as his reasons for the
recommendation that the Department is
only half as large as II ought to be, and
that to take all the engines and appara-
tus away from quarters during the parade
would be 10 place the city temporarily al
the mercy Of any fire which might get
under way. He suggests that in case
fire should occur in a remote part of the
city it would be impossible to respond to
it quickly. Moreover he says, the boilers
in the engines during the parade are cold.
and the firing of them for action would
result in still further delay.
In view of these facts Chief Dutton asks
the Commissioners TO permit him to pa
rade only half of his Department

PROPERTY OF UNITED STATES.
An Unlisted Tract of Ground in
Southeast Washington.

The eagle eyes of the Board of Assist
ant Assessors for the District recently
concentrated on a small tract of land in
Southeast Washington not hitherto listed
on the tax books. The existence of this
plat of ground was made the subject of a
special report to the Commissioners, and
the Assistant Assessors asked what course
they should pursue with reference to its
survey and record.
The tract in question lies between
Georgia Avenue and the Eastern Branch,
and west of the Navy Yard wall, extend
ing to Fifth Street. The tract is the re-
suit of accretion from the effect of the
tide in the Eastern Branch.
With visions Of new park or a site for
some municipal ediice, the Commission
ers appealed TO their Attorney, Andrew
B. DUvalI. for advice relative to estab-
fishing ownership OF the same. The At
torney. in an opinion submitted today,
takes the view that the ground belongs
TO the United States Government. and is,
in consequence, not subject to taxation
or control by the District Commissioners.

FOR INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS.
snowden Ashford May BE Promoted
to the Position.

The impression prevails at the District
Building that snowden Ashford will be
chosen to succeed John B. Brady as In
spector of Buildings. Mr. Ashford is the
Assistant Inspector. and has been associ-
ated in the office with Mr.. Brady for
several years. lie is practical archi-
tect and fulfils the requirements of the
law in that respect. Mr.. Ashford has acted
as Inspector of Buildings during the ab-
sence of Mr.. Brady. and is thoroughly
cOnveTsant with the duties OF the posi-
ton.
Ii is a we'll known custom of the DIS
trict Commissioners to promote the man
next in line in cases like the present,
and it is assumed that such action will
be taken now.
The choice Of an appointee TO the vacant
place viii deyolve upon Col. John B!ddie,
the Engineer Commissioner, who will
make u nomination for the consideration
Of his associates upon the Beard of Com
missicEers.
Thee have been rumors that cSrtain
outside architects would become caEGi-
dates for the position but up to yester-
day none had appeared.
Colonel Biddle stated yesterday that it
would be necessary TO fill the vacancy
within the next few days, and he said
that he had already received number Of
letters complimentary 10 Mr. Ashford.

MUST PASS EXAMINATION.
Plumber Must Also Explain Before
License Is Renewed.

Capt. Chester Harding, assistant TO the
Engineer Commissioner, in charge of the
Plumbing Department. has forwarded to
the Commissioners report upon the ap-
plicatlon Of A. R. Shepherd for a renewal
OF his license as master plumber
Captain Harding recommends that the
applicant be required to pass the exami-
nation prescribed in the plumbing regu-
lations TO those asking such licenses. He
further recommends that the attention Of
the applicant be called to certain COM
plants on file against him in the office
of the Inspector OF Plumbing, and that he
he required TO give a satisfactory eXplana-
| tion for the matters therein contained.
The ground for this action is found in
| the fact that the license of Mr.. Shepherd
was Cancelled at the order of the Com
missioners, and that il is deemed good
practice to put the applicant through the
usual course of first applicants for plumb
eFs' license.
