under joint resolution approved January
%, 1901:
mo such stand shall be erected until
the plans for the same have been approved
by the inspector Of buildings Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and a permit for such
construction issued by that officer; and all
such stands must be constructed in ac-
cordance with designs approved by the in
augural committee, in order to secure uni
formity and not interfere with the scheme
of decorating the avenue. No stand shall
be occupied until said inspector has ap-
proved its construction, and given a GER
tificate as to It's safety. Stands in front Of
buildings shall not extend more than eight
81 feet beyond the building line. and their
floors shall not be less that eight 81 feet
above the sidewalk. All balconies used for

by the inspector Of buildings
The Ambulance Service.
The subcommittee on ambulances Of the
committee public order Is rapidly per-
fecting its arrangements for the care Of
injured and i'll persons during the inaugural
parade and the ball at the pension building.
A meeting Of the subcommittee was held
last evening, being presided over by DR..
Percy Hickling, the chairman. 1t was de-
cded that on the day of the parade all
ambulances stationed west Of 7th street
should carry patients to the Emergency
Hospital, while those stationed to the east
should take patients to the Casualty Hos
pital. At each ambulance station surgeons
will be on hand to give ready relief. All
the stations but two so far decided upon
have telephone communication, and 1t
was stated that the telephone company
would make connections with the two in
question in time for service, with no ex-
pense attached. The committee has receiv-
ed an assurance of fifteen ambulances from
the United States services, three from Car
field Hospital, three from the Emergency
Hospital, three from Freedmens Hospital
and three from the police department. 1t
is thought the army ambulances will prove
sufficient for the committees wants, how
ever, so that the city service, it is expected,
will not be diminished in any way. No
patient will be taken to his home or board
ing house because of the length of time
such action would neceSSitate the absence
of the ambulance from Its station. All will
be cared for at the hospitals The appoint
ment of DR.. G.. L. Magruder as vice chair
man Of the committee was announced.
Stations Selected.
The following ambulance stations, with
those in charge, have been fixed:
No. /, Casualty Hospital. PIT Delaware
