TO SETTLE HALF
HOLIDAY PROBLEM

ing of this section" TO for all pur-
poses" is regarded by those who have
looked into the matter as making Sat
urdays after II o'clock noon legal hOii-
days of the widest score.
II IS argued oy some that the amend
nent refers particularly to negotiable
PAPER, the general subject Of the see
ton. ana consequently IS a half holiday
only In relation to this matter. On the
other hand. it is contendsd that the
words for al purposes" refer speciti-
cally and particularly to the subject
of holidays. which is the only question
discussed and considered in the latter
portion of the section amerded.
Law Inconsistent.
\ prominent attorney. in discussing
the ques ticn. said that where there is
Inconsistency found in the law. as IN
this case, the effcrt Is made 10 harmo-
nize the differences.
In this case the harmoniziug OF the
differences would be constituting the
words ''for ali purposes" 10 refer TO
holidays, for. in that event, the nego-
table paper would also receive the her,
eft Of the construction. II the words
are Construed to refer solely to negoti-
ehla napcrs. the half holiday will be
lost. 1hr wo.is, however, seem &c have
been deliberately inserted for the rea-
son th=. they are placed in the amend
ment IN the place of words stricken out.

TECHNICAL POINT
CAUSES HARDSHIP

| Lieutenant Moore, recourse was had ry
Mr.. Hollander TO an application TO the
Commissioners TO declare North Capitol
Street. between II and | Streets. a bust
ness street, as it had been formerly de
clared between & and II Streets. An
| inspector was sent out to take measure
ments, the regulations relative to busi-
ness streets being that when so per cent
or more of the property in a given
square is occupied for business the
same may be. In the discretion of she
Commissioners. declared business
| street. The report showed that the
east side of the square in question
showed more than the requisite 80 per
cent of business occupation of property,
while the west side OF North Capitol
Street showed -hundredths feet
short of the required amount OF busi-
ness property.
Not a Business Street.
Therefore. according TO the ruling of
the Acting Engineer Commissioner the
street could not be declared business
street. To make the case still more
aggravatlng the petition for declaring
the street business street contained
the signatures OF every property holder
and resident in the two blocks between
II and l Streets.
So far, therefore, as the regulations
are concerned and their strict interpra-
tation. every resource has been exhaust
ed, and the project to place a showcase
on the corner of his building. as Mr..
Hollander desires. has been defeated.
because. first. technical wording Of
the regulation prescribing three feet and
four feet occupation of business and
residence streets, respectively. beyond
the building line contains the apparent
ly useless restriction that the stand or
showcase shall be removed within the
building after business hours; and. sec
ondly, because North Capitol Street
lacks two hundredths of foot OF hav-
ing exactly so per cent of business
property occupied for business purposes.
In Commissioner Hands.
The law granting the Commissioners
the right to declare certain streets or
parts of streets business thoroushfares
is law Of Congress- and could not be
changed by the Com missioners, but the
regulation with ref renee to the kind
of showcase to be placed on the pro-
lection is a reguls lion of their own
creation and could b. modified in their
discretion, and way out could be found
by regarding the case in question as one
peculiar and worthy OF exception. Mr..
Hollander is very much of the opinion
that some such action ought to be
taken.
