AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Question of Leaving Bathtubs
Out of Brick Houses.
The Inspector of Plumbing Defends
the Inv in Answer 10 an Appii-
can't - Hnrbor Nnster's Specimen
lions for a New Engine and Wheel


James F. Barbour recently requested
that in building four small brick houses
in square GO that he be relieved from
the necessity of putting in bathtubs, as
required by the building regulations of
the District. He states that the houses
in question are calculated for a cheap
class of tenants, who will probably not
appreciate nor use the bathtubs.
In reporting upon the matter Charles b.
Ball. the Inspector of Plumbing. calls the
attention of the Commissioners to section
ll6 of the regulations, which took erect
January l, 1891, follows:
Every new brick building for which
public sewer connection is available shal
be provided with a new bathtub for each
suite of family apartments therein.
1T will be noted says Mr.. Ball from
the drawings submitted that the houses
proposed to be erected are three stories.
each story consisting of a four-room fiat
provided with a water closet. The regu-
Iations would clearly require that each
of these living apartments be provided
with a bathtub as well. This regulation
was carefully considered by the Plumbing
Board, and il is believed to be fully jus
titled by the conditions under which such
brick dwellings are constructed in Wash
ington.
Perhaps one of the points which
should be brought to the minds of the
Commissioners in connection with this
case is the fact that our city is absolute
" without public lighthouses, which nave
been found necessary in most large cities.
An additional argument for the require
ment suggested is the relatively low Wa
ter rate making the expense for the use
of such a fixture very much less than IN
many cities.
''The requirement would seem to be in
line with the general policy established
by Congress for the betternent OF TINS
class of structures, which is clearly IN
stanced in forbidding the erection OF
dwellings on alley frontages, and in num-
erous other requirements with which the
Commissioners are familiar.
After careful consideration of the case
/ recommend that the applicant be in
formed that the regulation will be ad-
hered to. and the tubs be required to be
provided in each nat in the premises.
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation.

The Commissioners have received
communication from ]. S. Tomlinson, Sec
rotary and Treasurer of the Carolina
Apartment Company, of 7O6 Eleventh
Street northwest. Mr.. Tomlinson informs
the Commissioners that he noticed few
days ago a man on the top of the Carolina
Apartment House extending a wire for a
telephone or "a similar purpose. He says
he called the mans attention to the TACT
that he was there without authority OF the
owner of the property, and Mr.. Tomlln-
son states that he requested the man not
to use any part of the building as sup
port for the wire until permission had
been granted his company for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Tomlinson states that the man pro-
ceeded to attach the wire as ne thought
best, notwithstanding his protest lie
asks the Commissioners if there is any
law or regulation by which companies in
terested in stretching wires about the city
can use private property In this way, thus
mutilating tin roofs and chlmneys, ana
causing premature leaks or defects ana
that too, without the assent of the owner
The question involved in the communal
cation has been passed upon by the Dis
trict authorities. Andrew h. Duvall. the
Attorney for the District, in report on
the subject, says:
The commissioners are without au-
thority of law to grant permit to string
wires over private property, and the pres
cnce of said provision in the permits Is
doubtless intended to diSciaim any such
authority, and at the same time TO warn
