since his return he had been quoted cor

DECIDED BY COMMISSIONERS
Railroad Must Purchase Abutting Prop
erty Before 1t Cuts OFF Ingress and
Egress by Temporary Structure.

The Commissioners will refuse to issue
a permit 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad for the construction of its via
duct until the provisions of the statute
shall have been complied with, which
means that the company must acquire
all of the abutting property before it
Will be allowed TO begin its operations.
This action was taken in answer to I.
letter from John Ridout. attorney for S.
S. Daish q Sons. claiming that his client
owned abutting property which has not
been purchased by the road, and that
the prosecution of the work would close
Florida Avenue and Brentwood Road,
destroying all means of tngress and
egress from their property.
The matter was referred by Engineer
Commissioner Biddle TO c. B. Hunt. En-
gineer of Highways. who has suggested
that the Commissioners include clause
in the permit providing that no work
can be commenced until all the abut-
ting property has been acquired This
recommendation has been approved by

Corporation Counsel Advises Not
Ora ting Brooklard Request.

The Brookland Citizens Association
will be informed that the Commissioners
are without authority to permit the
erection of a waiting shed at Rhode
Island Avenue and Twelfth Street north
east. The ruling has been made by Act
ing Corporation Counsel e H. Thomas,
and determines an important point Of
law, that such structures as waiting
sheds cannot be erected on public prop
erty, even if for the accommodation of
the public. Commissioner Biddle approv-
ed the opinion this morning, and made
.the following Endorsement:
Il move the Brookland Citizens AS
sociation be Informed OF the substance
Of the inclosed opinion. with the state
ment that the Commissioners regret
their inability to comply with the re-
quest OF the association. and can only
suggest that q site for the proposed
waiting shed be secured on private prop
erty at this point"
The reasons :or the decision given by
the Corporation Counsel is that the Dis
trict is always held 10 the strIctgst &C
countability tor injuries resulting TO
persons OF property for not removing
distractions on public streets. The
occupation Of the street for such pur-
poses is held to be q nuisance. In clos
ing, the opinion says: There being no
authority, in my opinion. for the pro-
posed use OF this avenue, l advise against
your legal right to permit such use"

AN OPINION SUBMITTED
Law Inadequate to Properly
Control Use of Poto-
mac Supply.

There is no law in force which pro-
hibits the waste of water outside the
limits of Washington and Georgetown" /"
Such is the rule laid down by AS
sistant Corporation Counsel a. L. Sim
clair in an opinion submitted to the
Commissioners today. The opinion
holds that the Commissioners are not
authorized to make any regulations pre-
venting the waste of Potomac water out
side the city limits.
After stating that the law provides
that water shall be furnished the resi-
dents of the District, beyond the city
limits, upon the same conditions as ap-
plv within the city limits. the opinion
says:
Potomac water being furnished to res
idents beyond the city limits. under
these conditions. the Commissioners
may cut OFF the supply of water from
such premises where waste is detected A"
In closing the Corporation Counsel says
that his Office has frequently called at
tention TO the inadequacy of this law.
The matter was brought TO the atten-
ton OF the Commissioners originally
by Lieutenant Kenny. of the Tenth pre-
cinct, in a complaint against waste by
Mrs a. Rosa Hausmann. ~ 1927 Bright
wood Avenue. Commissioner Biddle has
recommended that the matter be re-
ferred again to the Corporation Counsel
for the preparation of a draft OF the
legislation necessary TO give the Com
missioners the authority necessary to
stop waste bevond the CITY limits
