UNAVOIDABLE REPORT
Petition for Use of Sidewalk for Dis
play of Goods.

Charles w. Darr recently forwarded to
the District Commissioners a petition from
the occupants of buildings on Louisiana
avenue between 9th and 7th streets north
west requesting permission to use ten feet
of the sidewalk for the display of goods for
sale. The petitioners further requested that
they be granted hearing before the board
to enable them to state their views on the
subject more at length.
The computing engineer. Mr.. c. B. Hunt
has reported the results of an examinatio
of the locality and states that he is I'M
able to recommend the use of the public
space desired. He expresses the belief that
ali reasonable facilities for the display of
goods are provided for by the existing
regulations and that the appearance of this
very conspicuous square will be greatly
improved by adherence thereto. 1t appears
that five of the persons occupying the
square are opposed to the petition. The
regulations allow the occupation of three
feet of the public space on business streets
beyond the building line.

Tree Worms.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that the first crop of tree worms
have completed their work and are wrap
ping themselves in cocoons, preparatory to
changing into moths, which will again de-
post their eggs to hatch out a new crop Of
worms, probably many hundreds if not
thousand times greater than the one lust
passed, would it not be well to suggest to
each householder to destroy every cocoon
about their premises? 1t takes but a few
days for them to hatch, and each cocoon
destroyed prevents one nest of 800 to LOCO
worms, which otherwise would be devastat-
ing the foliage of our beautiful trees in the
near future. Now is the time to attend to
this matter without a days delay. These
cocoons can be found within easy reach of
any one armed with an old umbrella stick
or Similar article, on the trunks of trees
under fence rails. house siding window
stills. and similar places where there is a
slight protection from rain. If every per-
son interested inc the beauty of shaded
streets you'd take q little pains to destroy
every cocoon coming in easy reach, much
good will result while with thorough
cleaning out by every householder and
with the assistance of the park board on
public squares, practical determination of
this pest for this season. al least, could be
effected. VIII the citizens try it?

AGAINST PAVING.
Circumstances Not Favorable to Grant
ing Request.

P. ]. Nee of 615 H street northwest has
written to the District Commissioners call
ing attention to the unhealthful condition
of alley in the rear of his property,
caused by the throwing of refuse by the
tenants of the alley. The writer says the
same cannot be properly removed on ac-
count of the condition of the pavement of
the alley. The paving stones are so large
and irregular that the usual cleaning does
not remove the deposits Of refuse, and only
after heavy rain is the alley in sani-
tary condition.
The computing engineer reports that the
health officer has stated the condition Of
the alley is not such as would lead him to
give it preference at this time in paving
it with a modern material In the interest of
public health, safety and comfort. In the
absence of such a recommendation and OF
majority petition from abutting prop
erty owners for such work and the engl-
neer's office not being able to certify that
it is needed, it is recommended that the
paving of the alley be not ordered.
