Mr.. Sinclair Explains.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from Mr.. L. E. Sinclair, general
superintendent Of the United States Elec-
trio Lighting Company, statement as to
the reasons for departing somewhat from
the specifications of the permit in con-
structing subways on the east side of
Dupont Circle. During the progress Of the
work 4S-inch water main was encoun-
tered and the conduit had to be laid either
seven feet below the surface or fifteen
inches beneath the surface The latter
course was chosen. The permit called for
laying the conduits eighteen inches under
the surface. Mr.. d. E. McComb, the super
fntendent of sewers, in reporting upon the
matter says the departure from the con-
ditions of the permit would probably have
been authorized If formal permission had
been requested. He recommends that the
company be informed a repetition Of the
offense will be followed by an order to
abandon and take up the work.

they inform Congress that they see no
reason at this time for the legislation pro-
posed In Senate bill 3225 for the widen
ing Of California avenue Col. Biddle ex-
plains that since the Introduction Of the
bill a number of the property owners along
the thoroughfare have agreed upon a build
ing line substantially in accordance with
the widening proposed by the measure. It
is believed action can be taken by the Com
missioners under the act providing for the
establishment of building lines to cause
the proposed line to be continuous. Thus

be secured without it's enactment into a
