Worth 81.

The District Commissioners recently
received a petition signed by /. c. Cole
man and others. requesting that hack
men be allowed 10 advance their rate for
passenger vehicles from 75 cents to 81 an
hour The petitioners state that their
vehicles are in coed condition. and that
the service rendered is as good as they
can make it. They think the present
rate of compensation insufficient.
Mr. \. R. Lamb, hack inspector. in a
report uDon the petition states that he
has long favored the advance. and calls
attention to the views expressed in his
last annual report TO the Superintendent
of Police.
Major Richard Sylvester, SuDerln-
tendent OF Police. in forwarding the .'e-
port to the Commissioners states that he
believes the change could be made with
out detriment to the public. and that he
regards the increased charge necessary
in view of the larger cost of forage for
horses.

Department Rave been approved by
Commissioner Macfarland and forwarded

Some time ago Dr.. f. L. Murphy, who
resides in Baltimore, was served with
q notice by the Inspector OF Buildings
that the frame house at $50 Second
Street northeast had been condemned,
and that he must remove 1t within a
specified time. Or. Murphy has replied.
saving that he is willing to comply with
the requirements Of the notice. but that
he fears it will lay him liable for dam
ages to adjoining property in the tear
ing down OF the house.
Mr. Snowden Ashford. the Inspector
of Buildings. recently submitted the fol
lowing report upon the letter of DR..
Murphy:
Or +. E Murphy has been served
with notice requiring the removal OF the
frame house in question, and directing
that he use ali possible precaution to
prevent any damage to the adjoining
property. The owner Of the house ad-
joining, Mrs. N. a. Spencer. has been
notified to take the necessary steps to
protect her property after the removal
of the condemned structure.
Since the receipt of this notice Mrs.
Spencer has called at this Office and has
stated her intention to require DR.. Muir
phv to rewcatherboard the partition
row separating the two houses. 1t
would, therefore. appear that pr. Muir
phys arprehensions as to the difficult
ties consequent to the building are not
without foundation. and l do not con-
slider It proper or in line with duty TO
insist on compliance with the order OF
removal, knowing that it Will entail
expense not warranted by law. or
would force Dr. Murphy into litigation.
Il will. therefore, for the present,
withdraw the order and issue another.
requiring the tenants to vacate. thereby
removing the possibility OF injury in
case of the collapse of the building.
Il would recommend that the Cor
poration Counsel be requested to advise
whether the controversy apparently ex-
listing between adjoining owners as to
the liability for repairs to the frame
side of a house left standing after com
pliance with orders to remove con-
demned house is a question to be con-
sidered by the District, and whether ac-
tion Will stand to require one who has
complied with our orders to substitute
other protection for adjoining property
in place of the protection incidentally
supplied by the existence OF the con
demned structure.
The Commissioners have approved the
report Of the inspector and have for
warded the papers in the case 20 tho
Corporation Counsel.
