Walter c. Allen, the Electrical En-
gineer, in reporting upon the communica-

sonal interview it was explained to him
that il was intended to operate the search
light on the bay window projection,

the Police Department for its considera-
ton, and this action was taken by the
Commissioners yesterday.
The Commissioners have had under con-
sideration the application of Bond &
Davidson for projection beyond the
building line for the purpose of construct
ing vault under the sidewalk at the
southwest corner of Fourteenth Street
and New York Avenue northwest.
The Inspector of Buildings, in referring
the application to the Commissioners, in
formed them that the proposed vault will
interfere with several trees, an electric
conduit, and possibly affect the line Of a
proposed sewer.
d. E. McComb. the superintendent of
Sewers, in considering the matter, rec
commended to the Commissioners that the
floor of the vault be limited to the depth
jacent curb grade. This, Mr.. McComb
thinks, will afford proper depth for the
sewer, the construction of which has been
ordered.
Therefore it has been determined that a
permit shall be issued to the applicants
to construct the vaults described subject
to the right of way through the same on
the part of the District of any water
pipes, gas pipes. sewers, conduitS, or
other pipes which 1t shall be deemed nee
essary to construct for the District. The

T. A. Rover, residing at the corner of
North Capitol and Streets northeast,
few days ago applied to the Commits
sioners for the refund of the amount paid
by him for the repair of water pipes at
s0i North Capitol Street, alleged to have
been damaged by worlmen of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The Superintendent of Sewers, in re-
porting upon the request informed the
Commissioners that in making excavation
at the point mention a defective water
pipe was found badly decayed and vast
ing large quantities of water 1t was
temporarily fixed by the use of a piece of
rubber hose and the matter referred to
the Water Department, and the owner
was notified to repair the pipe.
The Superintendent of Sewers states
that in his opinion the charge is not a
proper one against the sewer division.
