S1ush in Front of Public Buildings.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

The melting snow and ice In front Of the
school buildings and other government
buildings and reservations In this city are an
evidence Of the inconsistency of the police
regulation requiring snow and ice to be re-
moved from the sidewalks. Under this
regulation private property owners are sub
ject to a fine If they neglect to comply
Herewith within twenty-four hours, while
District and government property Is ex-
empt from the rule, and the snow and ice
In front thereof are left to be disposed of
by Old Sol. The inconvenience to the pub
lie in passing these public buildings over
the ice Is not to be complained Of so much.
but nevertheless this melting snow is a
menace to the health Of the school chill
dren. who perhaps leave home in the morn
Ing without rubbers. thinking that all the
sidewalks are as dry as they are in front
Of their own homes. When they get to
school they have to wade through siush
of melting snow up to their shoe tops to
get into the school house. At recess they
have an opportunity to play in this melt
ing snow, to their own delight, but doc
tors bill resulting therefrom is no funny
story" to the parents who have to meet
1t Now, as the police regulation Is in
tended to promote public health and con-
venience. why. in the name Of common
sense. do they not take their own medi-
cine along with private property owners?

WANT CONGRESS TO ACT.
An Appropriation Asked for Clearing
the Haror of Ice.

A movement has been started by the
wharf men and property owners along the
river front to have Congress make an emer-
gency appropriation to clear the harbor OF
ice A delegation of business men had
consultation a few days ago. 1t is said,
with a committee Of the Washington Board
Of Trade, requesting the latter organiza-
ton to make an appeal for the necessity Of
clearing the harbor.
The ice on the river at present is over six
inches in thickness. The small boat Bar
tholdi which runs to the up-the-river
places, has managed to h,ep an open chan
mel from Georgetown to me Three Sisters.
while other tugboats have kept open a
channel to Washington. The owners OF
scows and other boats mOored along iLe
Georgetown water front are moving the
vessels to the basin at the foot of 18th
street, where there is practically no cur
rent and where the boats will be very lit
tie damaged when the ice begins to move.
According to the statement of we'll
known resident interested in wharf prop
erty, If warm rain should come sufficient
to break the ice, the worst flood for many
years would occur. He claimed that the
Long bridge would form gorge and cause
the water to rise west Of the structure, not
only flooding the streets in the immediate
vicinity OF the river, but also causing the
water to back up and overflow the sewers
and low places drained by the service. For
this reason 1t Is regarded as imperative that
the risk of freshet should be reduced to q
minimum.
