THE BUILDING UNSANITARY.
Quarters of Spanish Claims Commits
sion TO BE OverhauIed

One of the last acts of Mr.. Charles B.
Ball, the Inspector of Plumbing. before
retiring from office was to send to the
District Commissioners a report upon the
plumbing and fixtures of the premises,
1411 H Street northwest, occupied by the
Spanish Claims Commission.
During last year several complaints
reached the Commissioners with refer
enee to the unsanitary condition of the
building, which, up to the time of its
occupancy by the commission, was a
dwelling house. 1t was found upon in
sestigation that the house drain was in
bad condition, and that this caused odors
and unsanitary conditions in the building.
T. Mr. Ball states in his report that this
drain was ordered relaid by the Com
Imissioners, and that after this improve
.ment the greater part OF the cause for
complaint vanished.
Now, however other changes are deem
ed necessary. and he recommends that the
iowner of the house be informed of the
facts, and that the matter be left open
until conformity with the recommends
tion has been assured.

MORE DEFECTS
@ IN THE CODE
Same Survey for Georgetown
as Washington.
CONFUSION WOULD Be CAUSED
Mr.. LOCKER Suggests That the Matter
BE Referred to City Solicitor
for Opinion.

The District Surveyor. Mr. Henry B.
LOCKER. has called the attention of the
District Commissioners to a defect in the
code which he considers of sufficient i'm
portance to be corrected by legislative
enactment.
He says no provision has been made by
way of a qualifying clause for the pecu-
liar system of surveys which has been
in vogue in Georgetown for more than
$50 years.
Confusion Would Ensuc.
Mr.. LOCKER is fearful if an attempt is
made to introduce the same system in
Georgetown that prevails in the city of
Washington. and which the code pre-
scribes. that great confusion will ensue.
MIR LOCKER states that under the pre-
cedents Of these years lots have been
located and houses erected on the prin-
eiple of throwing all the excess or def
cheney that may exist in a block front in
actual measurement, as compared with
the record, into the highest numbered
original lot in that front.
Mr.. LOCKERS Views.
Mr.. LOCKER expresses the belief that
the first test case brought into court
would nullify any such application of
the rule OF proportionate distribution of
excess or deficiency 10 Georgetown. Mr..
LOCKER thinks the matter of SO great i'm
portance that it should be carefully con-
sidered at this time, and the law either
amended exempting Georgetown from the
operation OF the law as described or
positively providing that in Georgetown
the Surveyor shall proceed as he mas al
ways been doing.
The Surveyor suggests that the matter
be referred to the City Solicitor for an
opinion as to the legal aspects Of the
case, and for suggestion as to the best
course to pursue.
