Walter a. Brown. acting as attorney
for Braxton * Jordan. trustees of tract
of land on the north side of Nebraska Ave
| nue., has entered protest against the
raising of the grade on Nebraska Avenue
some six seven feet, and he says that
this grade has materially injured the val
ne of :he land in question.
The matter was referred to the Street
| Department and Morris Hacker Superin-
| tendent of County Roads. has reported
| that the grade on Nebraska Avenue was
fixed November A, 1898. and that no change
| has been made since that time. He re-
ports that the reason for making the
| grade of Nebraska Avenue as it is. is
! manifest upon examining grades OF the
| street extension plan for that section of
| the District. J. w. Dare, Acting Cumput-
| ing Engineer, states that the grade on
Nebraska Avenue was established only
after the most careful consideration of all
the circumstances. and that to change 1t
| now would be inadvisable.
large part of the residents of the Dis
trict appear to be under the misappre-
hension that communications relating to
the removal of garbage, dead animals,
etc, should be addressed TO the Health
Department. Such is not the case. Under
an order of the Commissioners of more
than year ago the supervision over the
garbage service and the removal of refuse
from the city was turned over TO the
Department of Street and Alley Clean
ing.
Notwithstanding this fact the mails of
the Health Department contain several
complaints daily about the collection of
garbage, ashes, or dead animals, and
these all have to be turned over to the
Department OF Street Cleaning. 1t often
happens that notices of dead animals are
sent to the Health Office, thus causing
delay in their removal.
At the suggestion Of the Health officer
yesterday Commissioner Ross requested
the publication of the above facts for the
information and guidance of the people
of the District.
Senior Assistant Chief Engineer Belt, of
the Fire Department, has arranged to test
the utility of standpipes, and has selected
the business establishment of Messrs. w.
B. Moses & Sons, Eleventh and F Streets,
for the purpose. This building is equipped
with standpipes running to the roof of
the structure and Chief Belt proposes to
attach one of the Fire Departments
steam engines to the standpipes, noting
the time required to make the connections
and the force of water when it reaches
the roof of the building and also al the
different floors. Then he will have the
hose running from the plug and steamer
run up to the top of the building compar-
ing the time required well as the force
of water at the different points with the
results obtained from the use of stand
pipes.
The trial will take place Friday morn
ing next at $50. that hour being selected
as the one which will least interfere with
traffic on the streets Chief Belt is of
the opinion that better time can be made
with and better results obtained from the
use of the hose than from standpipes, and
believes Fridays trial will 50 demon

Irrigation Matters

From the present outlook it seems
that the irrigation problem will receive
considerable attention at the hands OF
Congress. The Department of the In
terror has just issued pamphlet on the
water supply OF the streams OF Nevada
Data has been secured from most OF
the streams in the SRtate for the pur-
pose OF submitting reliable data to Con
gress. when the matter comes before
that body. Congressman Newlands
has made this matter a personal fight
in Congress, and it seems that the
State will at no very distant date re-
ceive benefit from his fight When the
Departments once start action on this
sort of matter, it begins to look like
business. For the past two years, sur
veyors have been travelling up and
down the streams in the State and all
the time a record OF the flow has been
recorded. With the actual flow of wa
ter in any particular section, the gov
eminent then has chance to see Just
what has been done. The book that
has been issued covers all the data in
this particular line. 1t is probable
that the reservoir sites that have from
time to time been selected by the gov
eminent, fit with the water supply a.
long the route. By taking this report
and placing it in the hands of the COM
mite that are appointed to handle the
matter, it is then in shape to go to
work on. The appearance OF the gov
ernment booklet is the nearest we have
ever been to any federal aid in the If
rigation tterwhich is to be hoped
will bring aid from the States that are
beginning to realize that the arid west
is the biggest proposition i'll all OF IN
