REFERRED TO SOLICITOR.
Action Of Commissioners in Case O.
Jose Luis Fagundes.

At the request of the board of charities,
the District Commissioners have decided to
refer again to the city solicitor the papers
In the case Of Jose Luis Fagundes, the Por-
tuguese who was arrested in this city with
$3S7.S3 on his person and committed to the
Government Hospital for the Insane as an
INDECENT patient. In former opinion the
solicitor held that the money found on Fa-
gundes was available for his maintenance
and that he should be rated as a pay pa
tient.
DR.. A: B. Richardson. superintendent OF
the asylum, has submitted a statement to
the board of charities in which he holds
that as Fagundes was committed under
that clause Of the law providing for indi-
gent patients. the money cannot be taken
until some further legal action is had. The
law providing for the commitment Of pay
patients provides that at least one relative
shall sign the papers In the case.
The city solicitor will receive a request
that If possible legal steps be taken to rem
der the money In the hands Of the police
department belonging to this patient avail
able for the payment Of maintenance and
for the purpose Of bearing the expense OF
returning the patient to his home.

WIDTH OF A GUTTER.
Colored Mans Criticism Of Those but
Shovel Wide.


Several colored men, each carrying a
shovel, gathered In front of the District
building yesterday hoping they would be
employed to shovel snow
'"They tell me we can't get job because
the law only allows for cleaning cutters
and cross walks" one Of the disappointed
men remarked to his companions.
"I guess that's right" remarked another
man In the party, "but that man who
draws the line on cutters don't know much
about cutters"
"Why so?" he was asked
"They had the men run shovels along the
curbstone." he explained, "and clean a
place no wider than the shovel, and every
body knows the old cutters we used to
have were several times wider than a
shovel. If they would make wide cutters
and throw the snow out near the middle OF
the street the streets would get clean much
sooner"

FORTY DOLLARS A FOOT
PRICE OF GROUND AT 14TH AND
G STREETS.
Bought by One Who Owns Adjoining
Lot and Will Erect an
Office Building.

Forty dollars per square foot is the price
that will be paid for piece of G street
property when the agreement which it is
understood has been made is carried out.
The three-story brick building at the north
west corner of 14th and streets is the
property in question, and it is stated that
it has been purchased through Charles w.
Simpson, real estate broker, by Mr.. James
H. Rowland of Baltimore. AS Mr.. Row
land is the owner of the adjoining proper
ty, 10i 14th street, the acquisition Of the
corner will give him total frontage in that
street of nearly seventy ythree feet, with a
frontage on G street of forty-three feet.
/. is stated to be the intention Of the pur-
chaser to erect on this site large build
ing which will be designed for office pur-
poses. AS Foundry Church. on the opposite
or northeast corner Of 14th and G streets,
has recently been bought by Mr. Thomas
+. Walsh with the intention Of erecting a
modern office building there, the proposed
improvements in that locality will make
marked changes.
The Adjoining Property.
The property at the northern corner Of
14th and street is owned by Mr.. Herman
Blare. 1t has a frontage of 3S92 feet on
14th street and 43 feet on G street, and con-
tains 1,7JO square feet. 1t is stated that the
price " De pdlu Is $iU,OoV WHICH is DIT lne
rate of $40 per square foot. This is the
highest figure ever paid for property in that
locality, although, of course the per foot
price is relatively higher, owing to the
shallowness of the lot. On the basis Of a
standard lot, namely one of hundred feet
in depth, the value determined by the
price paid is about the same as was given
by Mr.. Walsh for the opposite corner, which
averaged SIS per square foot
Increase in a Few Years.
A little more than two years ago Mr.
Rowland bought the adjoining property, 7O4
14th street. This has a frontage Of forty
four feet on 14th street with depth Of
forty-three feet. The consideration was
property In the residence section Of the
city and in the trade the 14th street piece
figured at 100000 which was at the rate Of
S31 per square foot. Six or seven years ago
the Riggs Fire Insurance Company paid
at auction for the ground where it's office
building now stands, $50 per square foot.
The lot however, is only 170Sx43 feet.
Shortly before that time the American Sc
curity and Trust Company purchased the
next lot to the north, which is 32X1O7 feet,
and the consideration was SIS per square
foot. 1t Is now occupied by the addition to
the banking house Of that company.

AGAINST CHARITY CHANGE.

The District Commissioners and the

Senator Mcmillan providing for placing

Asylum for Foundlings under the Secre-
tary of the Interior.
1t is understood that the Commissioners
will not approve of the bill. as in their
opinion it is contrary to the act of June
6, 1900, and that its enactment would be
step backward toward the conditions
which that law was framed to correct.
