Proposed Railway at Carlsbad.

Consul Mahen at Reichenberg has re-
ported to the State Department that an
electric street railway company has been
formed at Carlsbad and invites bids from
supply and construction firms. Carlsbad
Is as yet devoid Of any kind OF public con-
veyance. except cabs and hotel omnibusses,
though it has a permanent population OF
1900, to which are added between April
and October of every year 10000 or more
sojourners. The city Is spread out along
the Tepl river, a distance of several miles
from the railway station to the Posthof.
street car communication would prove a
great boon to the permanent and sojourn-
ing population. Branch lines on side
streets leading to the villas and hotels on
the adjacent heights would also be prac-
tfcable,

The Camden iron works lof Phiadea phia
has written to the District Commissioners
requesting an extensEon .of the time In
which they shall deliver the twenty -four
inch centrifugal pump. with engine. boiler.
etc, for the sewerage pumping station in
this city. The contract calls for the de-
livery and installation Of the machinery by
January 1. 1909. In55heir letter the COM
tractors say: y o.
During q recent visit % Washington 4
occurred to the writer from a casual in
spection Of the construction work which
you are doing in cqnnectaon with which
is doubtful IL you w6uld be ready to use
this machinery as s6on al January l. II
this IS the fact. we would esteem 1t q great
favor II you would permit US to make q
later delivery, inasmuch as the compile
ton of our work In the time specified will
seriously interfere with the prosecution OF
other important work IN our shops. You
can probably by this time estimate the
construction work, and so advise us Of the
date when you expect to be ready to use
the pumping machinery.
d. E. McConlb. the superintendent OF
sewers, reports that while 1t is probable
the lower section Of the Tiber creek and
New Jersey avenue high level interceptinx
sewer may not be completed by January
next, yet it Is desirable that the pumping
machinery should be installed in advance
OF the actual completion Of that portion Of
the work. 1t is his opinion that the con-
tract should not be modified.
Capt. Harding. assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner, and who Is in charge OF the
sewer division, says:
while 1t is true that delivery some
what later than that specified would prob
ably not cause the District loss or incon-
yenience. 1t does not seem to me to be fair
to the other bidders for the work, who
may be presumed to have taken the limit
OF time into account In determining the
prices bid. to grant an extension OF time
for the simple convenience OF the con-
tractors. I therefore concur in the opinion
of the superintendent of sewers that the
extension Of the contract on the grounds
set forth should not be granted"
This Endorsement has been approved by

Police Station Plans.

1t has been decided by the District Com

substation In Tenleytown prepared in the

appropriated only 5000 for the purchase

number OF architects had been recommend
ed for commission in connection with the
work. In report to the Commissioners
on the subject Inspector Brady says that
the designs for the several eight-room
school buildings recently authorized may
be developed from the plans Of the four
room building about to be erected. In which
