Park and Chesapeake Junction.
The application for a permit to erect a
dancing pavilion in her back yard, made
! by Catherine Coleman. reported favora-
bly, by the Assistant Building Inspector,
who was assigned to investigate, and the
Inspector of Plumbing. finally struck a
snag when referred to the Police Depart
ment. who commented adversely on the
project, with the result that the Commits
sioners refused the desired permission
The original application was made July
81, when the Assistant Building Inspector
reported that at the premises 325 TWEEN
tythird Street northwest he found no
apparent reason why his department
should withhold permission, and recon-
mended that the permit be given. The
application was finally referred to Lieut..
r. b. Boyle, of the Third police precinct,
who reported that severa! of the neigh

pavilion, and he expressed the opinion
that the place is not suitable for picnic
grounds.

| complaint from NJ B. Newman. 2020
| Twelfth Street northwest, in regard to
| obstructions in the alley in the rear of
| l210 Street northwest has resulted in
| an investiga ton by the Engineer Depart
| ment. which now requires that Alfred
| Cammack, the owner of the premises
| ITO Street. remove six large stones,
placed in the alley against the fence and
| building, and allow him to place four reg
| ulation guard stones next to his premises.
| If he so desires. after deposit of $40 has
| been made to ensure protection to the al
| ley pavement. These guard stones will
not be permitted to project over eight
inches at the base from the building line.
In Mr.. Newman's complaint, he states
that the Objectionable stones project into
the alley from twelve to sixteen inches by
actual measurement nearly closing the
alley to the use of vehicles. He states also
that similar distractions were once re-
moved by the District authorities, but
shortly after were replaced.
The Commissioners have denied the re-
quest of John Seibel, who is building ten
small four-room houses on lot !, square
is. of block T & B subdivision, 'front.'
ing on Steuben Street, that he be per-
mitted to use one sewer pipe for each
two houses, making in all five sewer serv-
ice pipes. Captain Harding, of the En-
gineer Department, who reported on the
matter, endorses the request with the
statement that exceptions to the regula-
ton requiring separate sewer and water
connection for each premises has here
tofore been limited to houses of an obvi-
ously temporary character.
Mrs. A. II. Love, of 1886 Florida Ave-
nue. northwest, through a postal card re-
Gently mailed to the Commissioners, en-
quired whether there were any prospects
of that street being paved and new side
walk being laid on the south side. She
also asked for increase in the water sup
ply in that neighborhood. The Commits
sioners have advised the writer that Flor
ida Avenue in that section does not ap-
pear on the schedule for street improve
ments, and that special appropriation
from Congress will have to be secured
before the roadway could be paved.
The following letter protesting against
the nomenclature of suburban streets
was received yesterday morning by the
District Commissioners from Henry White.
of 25sS University Place: Il have just
heard" he SAYS, that University Place
is to be rechristened Fourteenth Place.
The present name, which is poor enough,
mas some SnSnt advantage from IT'S ulS-
tinctive character, but the proposed one
has none. l would respectfully suggest
Columbia or Columbia Place"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation Of the Inspector of
Plumbing, Charles 3. Ball, that ]. 5.
Swormstedt be allowed to connect two
dwellings on lots IS and 49, block 4.
Takoma Park, with a sew.r now being
constructed on Carroll Avenue. While
the proposed sewer does not extend to
lot 40, the plumbing in both houses is To-
Gated on the east side entirely conven-
lent, as Mr.. Ball reports, to provide a
single 4-inch cast iron sewer line for the
service Of the work in both premises.

A Radical Change.

Last Sunday, the 10th inst, there
was an important change made at
every station throughout the entire
system of the Northwestern railroad.
The switch targets were turned one
half around, presenting the broad side
to the engineer when switch is open
and shows no target when
the main track 10 clear and is exactly
the reverse OF that which has been in
vogue almost from the beginning of
the history Of railroading. 1t is un-
necessary to state that all engineers
will look pretty sharp at the switch
targets for some time to come and
they can be excused for any little ner-
vousness that may be displayed when
approaching stations.
