ORDER FOR HAND sWEEPERs.
The New Machines satisfactory to
the Authorities,

Warner Stutler. Superintendent of the
Street Cleaning Department, has submit
ted to the Commissioners favorable re-
port in regard to the effectiveness of the
hand strcet-sweeping machines iH use in
the department for several days and
which have been adopted by the Commits
sioners The first of these machines
was delivered to the department by
George A Fisher and J. NJ Wheatley.
Mr.. Stutler says they have been given
thorough trial on various kinds of paving
and on wet as well as dry streets. He
says better work can be done with these
machines than with ha brooms and at
about one-third the cost to the District.
Mr. Stutler informs the Commissioners
that the saving in the cost of the work
would enable the city, with its present
force, 10 add about 10000 square yards
to the daily Misunderstanding schedule,
which. according TO the present cost per
900 yards, would equal Il saving of $50
day, or s2I 80 per annum.
This will enable the department, Mr..
Stutler thinks. 10 sweep many streets
three times week which are now swept
only twice i week. Continuing, the re-
port says
'The advantages to be attained by the
use OF this machine over the present
methods are as follows. The work is bet
ter done. for the reason that no dust is
raised by the machine and scattered by
the wind, and much more of the fine dust
is taken up. No sprinkling is necessary,
as the dust is carried into the machine,
the operation Of which is very much like
that of Il carpet sweeper.
The sprinkling OF Il street in advance
of sweeping prevents the machine or
broom from taking up the fine dust. In
stead il is plastered to the street by the
broom to become dust again soon
dry
with the use Of, this machine one man
can care for one-thiTd more area of
streets and keep them cleaner than he
can with the hand broom. For the fore
going reasons and the further fact that
this machine is SUPERIOR to all others
tried by me, | would respectfully recon-
mend its adoption in this city"
The recommendation OF Mr.. Stutler
having been adopted by the Com
sioners, he stated, in speaking of the mat
ter yesterday, that he would place an
order within the next few days for a suf-
ficient number Of the machines to equip
his Misunderstanding force Of 200 men. Mr..
Stutler further said that after the ma
chimes are received he will add the 500 900
square yards spoken of in the report to
the Misunderstanding schedule. This, he said,
would take that area from that now
cleaned by the machine sweepcrs and en-
able the department to sweep it three
times II week instead of twice a week, as
heretofore.

THE NEW SCHEDULE DIsLIKED.
A Protest TO BE Made Against
Changes on RrirIitwood Line.

4 Joint committee representing the Ia
ltoma Park and Brightwood Citizens As
.sociations will meet the officers of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany at a day in the near future and rec
ommend n return to the old through car
service from those suburbs 10 the city.
The citizens along the Brghtwood line
generally have objected strenuously to
the recent change from the through serv-
ice on the ground that it is a great IL con-
yenience and hardship which is not only
unpleasant for present residents but
discoura cement to the growth of the sub
urbs
A mass meeting was at first intended,
hut this was given up in favor of the
Joint meeting of the committee with the
company officers, as the latter plan
seemed more likely to produce beneficial
results.
The officers or the two associations re-
Gently met at the office OF Louis p. Shoe
maker, in this city, and agreed on plan
to be submitted to the company. The fol-
lowing were present: President l.. p.
Shoemaker, OF the Brightwood Associa-
ton; President J. II. Kinnear, of the Ia
lloma Association; w. j. Lambert, Nj. j.
Wine, ]. g. Swormstedt, Charles Ray.
y. j.. Robinson, and c. w. King.
The demand to be made of the railway
company IS that through cars shall be
run on a fifteen-minute schedule between
the suburbs and the city during the day,
and that extra cars shall be run from
Florida Avenue on the Brightwood line
in the morning and evening when the
ira fjc is heaviest. This plan Is in
measure. "A compromise between the old
schedule ami the one now in force. bn-
der the old plan there was a regular ten
minute through schedule during the entire
day with no extra cars. At present there
are no through cars, but the time OF run
ming Is similar to that proposed by the
committee-a nftecn-minute schedule, with
extra cars in the morning and evening.
Some residents in North TakGma and
BriChtwood are not inclined to agree to
the plan of the committee. or. at least,
they believe that further steps should be
taken. They suggest that a more radical
and permanent remedy for the alleged
abusCS/ot the railway company should be
sought These people are in favor of
agitation for a change of the laws by
the next Congress. one change proposed
is that the District Commissioners be
given fun power to control the schedules
of all the street railways of the Dis
trict.
The belief is EXPRESSED by this more
radical portion of the citizens associa-
tions that the railway company is not
likely to do anything for the convent
ence OF the citizens that it is not forced
to do. II is pointed out that during the
last session OF Congress the company at
tempted to put duuble-fare rule in force
for the suburbs. but was dissuaded by
vigorous protests from the citizens asso-
Citations. Now. il is said, as soon as
Congress has adjourned the company has
made another change almost If not quite
as Objectionable as the double-fare rule.
These facts. II is said. demonstrate that
the District Commissioners should be
given authority to control the railways in
"A gfrpb matters

ALLEGES HE WAS sLANDERED.
I.ilburn February Sues Hugo Ziemnn
for Heavy Damages.

IiIburn w. February yesterday filed
suit against Hugo Zieman to recover
$4,000 claimed as damages because of al
legged slanderous language used by the
defendant concerning the plaintiff. Feb
ruary explains that on March IS last, in
speaking of him, Zieman said: 1T has
only been Il week or two since my bar
tender was 'himfiammed' out of $40 by
a thief and | do not propose to let you
'himfam' me. and l do not intend to
pay this until | have looked you up.
February states that he construes this
alleged language of Zieman to mean
that he is a thief and guilty of obtaining
money under false pretences. and that
he was attempting at that time to obtain
money under false pretences from the
defendant Attorney y. S. Colyar repre-
sents the plaintiff.

] Harrison Johnson & Son. of 3O6
Seventh Street southwest have requested
permission to use two sewer and water
connections for three houses on premises
927 to g3l II Street southwest. Charles W.
Ball. the Inspector Of Plumbing. In his re-
port upon the application, states that
these improvements consist of small
frame houses in poor condition, having
a frontage of twelve feet each. He states
that the lot on which they stand has
total frontage OF fifty feet, and Mr. Ball
thinks it will unquestionably be improv-
ed before many years by permanent
structures. Mr.. Ball is of the opinion
that these conditions justify an exception
in the case. and he recommends that the
request for the two sewers for three
houses he approved. Acting upon his re-
port the Commissioners have approved
the application.
