TO-DAY

Gift Of Thy love. untred, a golden day.
Here in the dawn il lies.
What treasure bides within It, who shall say
OF JOY sacrifice?
Perhaps within this breaking dawn draws near
Some sweet surprise of good,
So that my heart shall mark 1t. year by year.
A day of gratitude.
Perhaps to-day Thy voice will call on me
To suffer grief or loss.
This opening path may end on Calvary.
Beneath the cross.
1 know not: vet / say. Thy will be done,
And lift my thanks to Thee
Since all this day from dawn till set or sun
Thy love will walk with me. :,

ACTION ILLEGAL.
Views of Corporation Counsel Regard
ing an Upset Price.

Mr. A. B. Duvall, corporation counsel,
has submitted an opinion to the District
Commissioners, in which he holds that
their action in fixing an upset or minimum
price of $500 for the use of the public hav
scales at 18th and B streets northwest was
illegal. The privilege is auctioned an
nually, and this year Patrick Dannaher bid
$500, but the auctioneer refused to recoe-
nize him. Through his attorney Henry e.
Davis, Dannaher protested to the Commits
sioners. and asked that the right to use the
scales be made over to him. The matter
was referred to Mr.. Duvall, and in return
ing the papers he says:
am of the opinion that the fixing of a
minimum or upset price for the sale of
these scales, required by law to be made
TO. the highest bidder, was unauthorized.
But 1t does not follow that the request of
Mr.. Dannaher should be complied with He
failed to comply with the terms of the sale
as advertised, in that he failed to nav one
fourth at the time of the sale
In my judgment this was a reasonable
regulation of sale, by which the Commits
sioners could assure themselves of the good
faith of bidders. / am of the opinion thai
the Commissioners are at liberty either IN
waive this omission and accept Mr.. Danna-
hers bid, or to readvertise the scales at
public auction"
The scales will again be offered, July ~
at noon. '

INSPECTORS RESPONSE.
Reply to Suggestion Regarding Danger
of Collision.

inspector A L. Thomas of the engineer
department OF the District government has
submitted a report to the Commissioners
on the recent communication of DR.. H. A.
Dooson, calling attention to the danger of
coilslon between street cars and fire
wagons on 18th street between Massachu
sets and North Carolina avenues on the
west side of Lincoln Park Mr.. Thomas
says 1t is found from observa ton that cars
eastoound on the tracks mentioned, as a
rule, stop before making the turn into 18th
street, and likewise cars westbound. Mo-
tormen, consequently, have opportunity to
look and listen, and cars move into 18th
street at slow speed The inspector says
ne is informed by the officials of the fire
department that the drivers Of the appa
ratus are under instructions to have their
horses under control on approaching this
stretch OF street, the same as at all all
otner street and steam railway crossings.
Attention is called to the fact that fire
runs from southeast to northeast, OF vice
versa, practically end at Lincoln Park, and
mat the horses at all times are kept under
control on reaching the lines Of the park.
Under these circumstances 1t does not seem
necessary to make 18th street between the
limits named fire crossing.

WAS PUBLIC PROPERTY.
Rebate Not Allowed for Old CURLING
Removed by district.

When Messrs. T. D. DAILY and William
Mcguire recently received a bill from the
District authorities for setting new curb
stones in front of their property, they
wrote to the Commissioners saying they
had previously paid the District of Column
bia for the old curb, which was removed
and requested a rebate to the extent Of the
value of the old stone. The matter was re-
ferred to c. B. Hunt, the computing eng-
neer. and he has now submitted the follow
ing report to the Commissioners:
Il recommend that the writer be advised
that 1t is contrary to long established prac-
tice and to the law in regard to the custody
of public property for the District to COM
ply with the request made. The fact that
the old curbstone which was removed was
originally paid for in part or wholly by the
property owner does not affect its status as
public property, and no allowance can be
justified on account of its removal from the
street.
