The Superintendent in passing upon the
case states that there seemed to be a lit

action Of the officer. but he thought the
evidence before the trial officer was such
as TO establish misconduct. and for tina
reason he recommended that the private

The Commissioners are in receipt OF a
letter from Don A. Sanford. who writes
relative to controversy which cx.s,s be-
tween himself and the District Health De
partment relative to the drainage Of the
premises SO4 to $40 Street northwest.
He informs the Commissioners that he
was recently the defendant in the Police
Court upon the questions involved. and
that having convinced Judge Kimban OF
the impossibnity OF complying with the
demand OF The Health Office he was ac-
quilted. Now he says he is again sum
moned TO the Police Court upon prac; ical-
ly the same charge OF which he was ac-
quilted, and which involves the same
questions of fact already passed upon by
the same tribunal.
Mr.. Sanford states that so far as he has
been able to know no one has made any
complaint with reference to the conditions
which exist. The objection to the drain
age on the premises referred to- he says.
are purely technical and ne states that
there is no resulting nuisance. In de
scribing the condi icons he says:
THE sewer on L Street is much higher
than he cellars of the houses or the land
in tbs yards. and as water does not run
uphill and as drainage pipes for various
reasons must be placed underground il is
apparent why the houses were never con-
nected with the sewer in front. Even the
sewer in the alley is Al its present grade
too high TO connect with. 1t is possible
by crossing a private alley to connect
with public sewer, but what right have
l to cross private alley? TO do SO would
only involve me in a lawsuit with the
owner of the property in an action for
trespass."
Mr.. Sanford states that he has hereto
fore requested that the private alley be
condemned and bought for conversion into
a public alley, and sewer be extended
into it to remedy the present conditions,
which are, it is claimed. unlawful. Mr..
Sanford informs the Commissioners that
the buildings are old and not worth the
expenditure necessary to remedy the
cause of which the Health Department
technically complains. He states that he
has plans ready for new buildings en- the
lots next spring. and he asks the Com
missioners to grant him relief from action
in the Police Court. etc. until May /, at
which time he viii have the new build
ings under way.
Mr. Sanford adds that he is large
property owner. that he pays large sUms
in taxes, and that he does not intention
ally violate the regulations Of the munich
pality, and he thinks it unjust to be treat
ed in a summary manner as If he were a
criminal.
