Roy Davis, the youngest son of
Mrs. p. LAIR, who has been in the
service of Uncle Sam both in Porto
Rico and the island of Samar, one
of the Philippine group, arrived at
his home in this city the first of the
week looking we'll and hearty. He
has no particular love for the citi-
zens of Samar and thinks it is as i'm
possible to tame and civilize them
as it would be to tame the tiger of
the jungle. His experience of wad-
ing through rice swamps, often up
to his arm pits in water and mud
and again climbing mountains are
not conducive to increasing the
ranks of the army, yet he passed
through it all without receiving a
scratch from bolo or poisoned
arrow or the hideous wound made
by the creased bullet of the enemy.
He has not decided fully as yet
what his future course may be.

ABSOLUTE ClNTRJL OF APPARATUS
Can Purchase Lamps, Pay for Their
Erection, and Contract for Maintain
ing Light at Figure Provided in Ccn-
gressioral Appropriation Bill.

The District Commissioners have re-
ccived from Corporation Counsel DuyaIl
a lengthy opinion in which he holds that
the provision in the recent app-opri-
alton bill relating to the erection and
maintenance of street lamps does not
prevent the District from legally con-
tracing with the various companies
fo- the maintenance OF street lamps at
cost Of not more than $50 a year, and
that the District can purchase the
lamps. pay for their erection. and, in
addition. contract with the various
companies to maintain these lamps at
the figure designated.
The opinion was sought at the instance
OF Mr. Walter c. Allen. the electrical
engineer, who desired an interpreta-
tion placed upon the item in the Dis
trict appropriation bill. This item
reads as follows:
"Lfghting-For Illuminating material

Tor oil, lighting, e~tinguishing, repair

expense OF erecting and maintaining
new lamppcsts. street designations, Ian
terms. and fixtures, under any expend-
ture provided for in this act"
IN passing judgment upon the ques-
lion. Mr.. DuvalI the counsel Of the Com
missioners. says:
1T appears that during the past
fiscal year there were maintained G.753
gas lamps at $50 per lamp per an
NUN. and l.l6G oil lamps at slS per lamp
