to the District Commissioners, saying:
"Some weeks ago / wrote you q letter

Is given all citizens when they deem an
injustice is about to be performed or that
which would be detrimental to ones local
ity. In general sense l termed the pole
a monstrosHy and unfit to be erected any
where, and especially on our public streets
Judge, then, of my surprise when this
morning / am given undue prominence IN
the daily papers of this city. through the
medium of one of your inspectors, ana
made to appear as a public scold, one OF
class who is constantly thwarting the aims
and purposes of your office.
Now. as this Is the first time / have
ever written your Office in the capacity or
humble citizen protesting against
wrong, 1t seems passingly strange that L
should thus be paraded before the public.
l will not discuss the opinion of your In
spector, but l submit that his way of treat
ing protesting citizens is rank, unjust and
inexcusable; and l protest against such
action on the part of your office.
"In closing / will say this: Notwithstand-
ing this labored and lengthy report of your
employe, If you, as Commissioners, acting
in the nature of jury, on personal in
spection will say that this pole is fit to be
erected I will pay all expenses of said
work"

The Central Steel Beam Successfully
Placed I'm Position.
The central steel beam, weighing seven
tons, which Will be. the main support of
the new metal roof over the United States
Supreme Court chamber at the Capitol,
has been successfully placed in position
and the other huge steel girders are being
added to the massive framework without
delay. The former roof, apparently q
veritable fire trap, was constructed with
wooden framework, laths and plaster.
This discovery was made at the time of
the late fire In the Supreme Court cham
Der, and Capitol officials say II the blaze
had reached the old roof there would
doubtless have been a serious confiagra-
tion.
When the original roof was torn down
Capitol officials took as souvenirs some of
the ancient laths and nails. These were
made by hand anywhere from 80 to 100
years ago, and were among the first mate
rails placed In the building.
The roof over statuary hall is a coun-
terpart of the old Supreme Court roof and

and steel fireproof structure erected in
it's stead.
The hoistdng Of the great steel beams
and girders to their position on the Capt.
