UNDER OLD REGULATIONS.
Builders Anxious to Obtain Permits for
Construction.

The building inspectors office is being
swamped with applications for permits to
build under the old regulations, which will
hold until September =. The regulations
recently adopted, which require all party
walls to be at least thirteen inches in
thickness, will become effective on that
date. and builders are hurrying their work
in order that they may take advantage of
the existing regulations up TO the last mo-
ment. The amendment to the regulations
was originally promulgated to go into effect
July 10. but on that date the Commission
ers decided to give the builders more time
and postponed the enforcement of the law
until September 8. The old regulations
permit party walls to be nine inches in
thickness. and with the high price of brick
and the wage scale of bricklayers the
difference in the thickness of the walls
would make a material difference in the
cost OF houses especially in long rows.
There have been at least a hundred per-
mits Issued during the past week for the
construction OF two-story houses under the
old regulations. and many more applica-
tons are now on file. The builders are TAX
Ing out their permits now and will erect
their buildings when they please, as there
is no provision Of law which compeis a
builder to erect house Immediately on
securing permit.

Postal Well Cared For.

Concerning recent criticism of President
johnson and the American League by Fred
Postal of Detroit Charles Comiskey says:
"It is peculiar how these fellows change
their minds. Postal was telegraphing for
Johnson SO often that the railway fare
would have kept some leagues broke. He
wanted Johnson's advice on every prop
osition and if he had his way. Johnson
would have had little time to do anything
else than travel between Detroit and Chi
cago to see him. Now that he is out he
turns on Johnson and criticises him.
1T is true that If Postal had had his
way he would have sold out Tom Lotus,
but he did not have his way because the
American League wants Lotus. And right
here is another angle that Postal overlooks.
Until the death of DO Needham Lotus
had $3.50 more stock in the Washington
club than Postal, and yet Postal was all
the time posing as the owner and LOTUS
was loked upon by many as simply paid
manager.
"It was expected that upon Needham m s
death LOTUS and Postal would each secure
half of Needhams stock, but Postal ac-
quired all and left LOTUS that much shy
Postal was well taken of by the
American League and has no kick coming"

Property Owner Protests Against &C.
ment on Account of Expense

properly Owner Protests Against &C.
ment on Account of Expense.
Miss Catherine Simmons has written to
the Commissioners protesting against the
laying of cement sidewalk in front of
her premises at lot l, square A5 She
states that the property is old and small
and barely pays for itself in taxes now,
and that the added cost of the pavement
would be out of all proportion to its value
IT she desires to build, she states, the
sidewalk would have to be torn I'D to
lay the necessary pipes, and as she is not
In position to justify such expense she
does not think 1t unreasonable to request
that the laying Of the sidewalk be deferred
until the property. by additional improve
ments shall have become worthy of such
work. In addition to this, 1t is stated that
the laying of the sidewalk at this place
would necessitate the moving Of the fence
about the property twelve. or thirteen
inches further into the lot
The engineer Of highways, to whom the
pI otest was referred has recommended to
the Commissioners that Miss Simmons be
informed that the work OF laying the side
walk was initiated by the District on ac-
count of the inferior nature of the sidewalk
now In use, and 1t is not believed that the
circumstances In the case, even in view
OF Miss Simmons statement would Justify
the abandonment of the work or it's modtfi-
cation. The engineer of highways suR-
gests that the Commissioners inform Miss
Simmons that public considerations REQUIRE
the execution OF this work, in spite OF
whatever protest might be made.

averaging about three or four. For the
intermediate centipede, there being only
one entry, some were in favor of dropping
it then and there, while others favored a

or more crews entered to make a race, and

CLERKS IN DEPARTMENTS
Secretaries Root and Moody Refer Questions Of Saturday
Early Closing and Seven-Hour Labor Law to
the Attorney General.

Secretary Root and Secretary Moody
have further discussed the matter of
closing their respective departments on
Saturday afternoon of each week, and
both have decided to refer the matter
to the Attorney General for decision.
The outcome will affect all departments
Of the Government.
Secretary Root is unwilling to accept
the opinion OF General Davis, the Judge
Advocate General of the Army. as TO his
Interpretation OF the law. General Davis
holds that the clause in the District
code making Saturday a haif-holiday
throughout the year applies to the de-
partments OF the Federal Government
as we'll as the District government.
Secretary Root places different con-
struction upon the matter. He believes
that Congress had no intention when
considering the District code to shorten
the hours OF labor IN the department,
of the Federal Government, but that
the subject 10 which the clause referred
chiefly was negotiable paper. 1t is point

upon the request of the District Com

port at noon today. in which the amount
OF the alleged defalcations OF James NJ.

report also states that eighteen checks
were missing. aggresating S7,925.99.
These were afterward found in Watson's s

document is that from December. 1925.
