William H. stoutenburgh. Intendent of
the Washington Asylum, recently for
warded to the Commissioners a recon-
nnendation that change be made In the
lower floor of the workhouse. With the
recommendation he enclosed the proposal
from w. L. Spier. who offered to do the
work for the sum of s40o. The changes
referred to were the excavation for and
construction of a coal vault. The matter
was referred to the Inspector of Buildings
who has reported as follows:
I'm response to request OF Mr.. Stout
enburgh in 1899 estimate was forward
ed to the COMMISSIONERS for a central
heating plant and electric light station in
Guiding refrgerating plant, for all the
buildings of the asylum. In view Of the
increasing demand for such a station and
the economy involved. L cannot recon-
mend at this early date any departure
from the plans of the architect, not clear
ly imperative or necessary for the con-
struction of the building. There appears
to be sufficient space in the boiler rooms
as designed, for coal storage for pres
ent requirements.
The above report has been approved by
the Commissioners and Mr.. Stoutenburgh
will be accordingly informed.
G. ]. S. Hunnicutt. Of I'll G Street
northwest, has written to the Commits
sioners asking them to take steps to sup
press the utterances of an old man who
goes about the streets preaching TO the
people and declaring that there is no hell.
Mr.. Hunnicutt is of the opinion that this
man should be stopped from infiaming
the minds of the people and especially
the children with his doctrines.
The complaint WAS referred TO the
Police Department for investigation and
report.
Connor Bros, of 1872 Ninth Street north
west, recently requested permission to use
one sewer for two houses on Marshall
Street, specifying a certain fixture for the
yard and asking whether four-inch pipe
would be regarded sufficient in size. The
matter was referred 10 the Inspector OF
Plumbing and he has reported as follows:
ION the premises known as $50 and so2
Marshall Street are three separate dwell
lngs, one In the rear and two front
