Frequent complaints have reached the
Commissioners Of the noise made by the
steel tanks used in the collection of gar
bage These complaints began to come
The Washington times., 1901-10-13

in soon after the apparatus was placed
in use For some time little attention
was paid to them, but soon there was
such a volume of protests that the au-
thorities set about for means to avoid the
trouble. 1t was finally decided by the
company under contract to remove the
garbage that a device containing a rub
Der buffer could be placed on the tanks,
so as to stop the noise complained OF.
The device was perfected by experiment
and few weeks ago $500 of them were
ordered to fit out the tanks of the COM
pany. For two weeks men have been at
work riveting the ''anti-rattlers" on the
tanks. and within q short time they Will
have fitted all of the companys tanks
with them.
Some days ago William T. Mahorney.
watchman in the Fire Department, ap-
piled for leave to retire on pension
of $50 per month. The application went
through the regular course and Mahorney
was examined by the Board of Fire Sur
geons. Yesterday Chief Dutton forwarded
following report:
''Watchman MahorDey was appointed
private in this department November %,
1873. and was reduced to the position of
watchman March l. 1899 He was injured
casion, and is now reported by the Board
of Surgeons to be unfit for further duty.
The records of the department show
that Mahorney has been found guilty of
Violating the Eules governing members on
five different occasions. 1t is true that
in each instance he was punished for his
misconduct, but it is not believed by the
department to be conducive to the main
tenance OF discipline to graz man
whose record has not been good the max
imum amount allowed by law, $50 month,
and it is. therefore, respectfully recon-
mended that Watchman Mahorney be re-
tired on a pension of $40 month the re-
tirement to take effect October 81. 1901
Commissioner Macfarland has approved
the recommendation and has forwarded
the papers to his associates.
w. Clarence DuvaII, of 925 Street
northwest, has entered protest against
the abandoning or closing of the alley in
square 1852 Mr.. Duvall states that the
alley in question opens on Tennessee Ave
nue. northeast, and is important to the
seven substantial brick houses on Tennes-
see Avenue. He declares that the shut
ting up of the alley, as he expects, would
work a hardship to the property men
toned
The question of maintaining this alley
has been before the Commissioners in one
form or another for the last two years.
The alley in question is not public alley,
and petitions and correspondence hereto
fore have been in the line of requests that
the alley be opened a public alley.
This the Commissioners have declined to
do, on the earnest recommendations of
the Surface Division, who say that the
alley is not needed.
The Commissioners have noted the re-
ceipt of MIR. Duyalls letter and will take
no action.

James ]. Hampton recently requested
the Commissioners to take steps 10 have
trees planted on Mintwood Place, between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Streets north
west, The ground for the request was
that the locality has been much improved
Of late by the erection of new houses, and
that to keep pace with other parts of the
District shade trees should be growing
there.
An investigation was made of the local
ity by the Superintendent of Parking and
report was submitted to the Surface
Division. Captain Newcomer. in forward
ing the report to the Commissioners,
stated that the applicant should be in
formed that Mintwood Place at present is
only 45 feet wide, and that II is imprac-
ucable to plant trees there unless the
abutting property holders agree upon a
building line and record the same in the
office of the Surveyor
This suggestion the Commissioners have
approved and the applicant will be so in
formed.

A. B. Wells. of 1922 Thirteenth Street
northwest. recently wrote to the Commits
sioners and called their attention to the
condition of vacant premises between
Whitney and Holmead Avenues and east
Of Thirteenth Street northwest. He asks
whether any discrimination is made be-
tween owners of improved and unim-
proved land in the matter OF keeping the
premises clear of weeds
The matter was investigated by the
Health Department and a report to the
Commissioners shows that the owners of
the property referred to have been noti-
fed to remove the weeds. In case of
the agents are notified. This, the report
states, is all the action that has been
taken, and the result will be that If the
weeds are not removed within the time
specified in the notice they will be re-
moved by the District at the cost of the
property holders.
