STRINGING WIRES.
Alleged Illegal Action Beyond the
City Limits.

The attention of the District Commission
ers has again been invited by Mr.. August
Peterson, chairman of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Associations committee
on overhead wires to the alleged unlawful
erection of such wires outside the city linn
its. He says that a provision Of the per-
mits issued authorizing the stringing of
overhead telephone wires in the suburban
sections prohibits the stringing of the
wires over private property without the
consent of the owner. He charges that
this provision has been violated in con-
nection with wires Chaplin street, and
claims that, the hands of the police be-
ing tied by some unknown authority, they
were prevented from interfering.
Major Sylvester, the chief of police, to
whose department the matter was referred,
states that it is a difficult one to handle,
and suggests that no permit be issued here
after until the company has obtained the
required consent from the owners of prop
erty who will be affected by the stringing
of the wires. He also suggested that it
is matter for the law officers of the Dis
trict to settle, and the Commissioners have
referred it to the attorney for the District.

Major Sylvester has received letter from
Mr.. II. C. Burch, manager of Wizards Ho-
tel, conveying his thanks to the police of
the first precinct for their work during the
fire at the hotel Sunday morning. In the
letter he says: Il wish to convey to the Of
ficers and men of this precinct my sin
cere thanks for the excellent service rem
dered during the fire at Wizards Hotel Sun
day morning. While the fire fortunately
was not of a serious character, yet 1t re-
suited in a panic among the guests, and
but for the prompt and efficient work Of
the police and fire departments serious con-
sequences might have resulted. During the
excitement that prevailed many of the
guests left their rooms open, but the
promptness with which your men took
charge Of the premises prevented the loss
of any property through theft. The guests
of the hotel unite with me in words of
praise for the efficiency of the fire and po-
lice departments"
similar letter was sent to Chief Paris
of the fire department

The Washington Fertilizer Company,
through its president, MIR. Myron NJ. Par
ker, has applied to the District Commits
sioners for a permit to fence in the square
10 between list and I'd, / and X streets
southeast. The company holds the contract
for the collection and disposal of garbage
and dead animals for a period of five
years from December !, 1900 and it has
leased the square and erected thereon a
stable suitable TO its needs and other nee
essary equipments appertaining to the col
lection and transportation of such material.
The company desires to erect a fence on
the street line, so that il may inclose in
this manner any features that might be
disagreeable to the public. The permit has
been granted by the Commissioners, the
fence to be seven feet high, and tight
board one,

THE WATER RENTS.
Increased Charges to Be Imposed
Upon Renters of Rooms.

Inspectors from the District water de-
partment are now engaged in an effort to
discover how many persons in the District
are renting rooms in their houses to lOdg
ers, the purpose of the investigation being
to require every householder renting rooms
to pay additional charges for the use OF
Potomac water. An act of Congress APP
proved March II, 1891, conferred upon the
Commissioners of the District certain pow
ers, duties and limitations contained in
chapter 8 (water service) of the Revised
Statutes of the United States relating TO
the District. Acting under such authority,
the Commissioners adopted a schedule OF
annual water rents, which schedule went
into effect July !, 1891.
One of the provisions OF this schedule,
which still remains In force, is as follows:
Boarding, apartment and tenement
houses will be charged at a rate IN accord
ance With the stories and front feet, AID
in addition thereto 30 cents per annum for
each and every room over and above the
number of three rooms in said boarding
house or tenement" Another provision OF
this schedule reads: "All water required for
purposes which are not specified in the fore
gong tariff shall be paid for at such rate
as may be fixed by the Commissioners.
1t is understood that the water depart
ment was recently directed by the Com
misioners to ascertain what houses in the
District are being used as boarding apart
ment or tenement houses, the number of
rooms rented out therein and whether the
rates paid by their owners or holders are
such as are demanded by the existing sched-
ule. More than this, it is stated that tie
inspectors of the water department have
been directed to visit every private house
in the District and ascertain whether or
not rooms therein are being rented out TO
dodgers. Where it is found that in house
not classed a boarding, apartment
tenement house one or more rooms are be-
ing rented out it is said that the interested
party, the owner the occupant. as the
case may be, Is furnished with an additional
water rent bill. in which a charge is made
of 30 cents for each room so rented out.
OF course, the fiscal year has more than
half expired this rate of 30 cents per annum
per room is prOportionately reduced, the
charge for each rented room running from
the day discovery of its rental is made by
the inspectors of the water department.
This is said to be no new departure. it
being contended that such rates have been
enforced for a number of years, and that
the inspection now in progress is one which
is made periodically. There seems, how
ever, to be some misrepresentation on the
part of the public as to the effect this In
spection will have, and it is not unlikely
that the Commissioners Will issue an order
fully explaining the matter and also def
nitely stating that in addition to the regular
rates charged persons renting rooms Will
be required to pay 30 cents per annum for
each room rented.
