The poles OF the telephone company,
which poles it was promised would be
re.-Ioved the latter part of this week.
still disfgure the middle OF the Wal
kiki Road along the extension Of the
Rapid Transit Company's line. The poles
have been taken out of the road to a
point opposite the Annex to the Ha-
waiian Hotel. To that point. the Wal
kiki Road, with the electric cars rum
ming along one side OF it, is a beautiful
drive. Then the ugly poles obtrude
themselves. and the beauty diminishes
almost to the vanishing point.
Now SUPERINTENDENT Of Public Works
Cosper gave the telephone people notice
some time ago that these poles must
ALI he removed. 1t was in response to
that notice that the promise was made
that they would be taken out before the
latter part of last week. They were
not taken out. superintendent Cooper
has therefore given further notice to
this effect. namely: That IL the poles
do not come down at once the Board of
Public Works will put a force of it's
own to tearing them down, and they
will be disposed Of effectually and for
all time.

ADVERSE REPORT.
District Cannot Concede Point Raised
by Contracting Printers.

Messrs. Judd & Detweiler, printers, of
400 11th street. have written to the Com
missioners acknowledging receipt of a notf
fication that they have been awarded GER
tain items of printing for the District dur
ing the current fiscal year. The writers
make the claim that any work ordered by
the District outside the specifications upon
which the various printing contracts are
awarded should be given to the contract
ing printers for the year. 1t is stated that
the contractors for various items have to
enter into 4 bond with the District. If
printing is desired outside the regular
schedule only those printers of record
should be given the privilege of doing the
same.
The Commissioners referred the matter to
the property clerk, F. o. Beckett, and the
superintendent of property, r. ID. SimmS,
who have submitted report in which they
recommend adverse action on the plan pro-
posed They say that when schedules are
prepared upon which to base contracts each
year effort is made to include such items of
printing and blanks appear at the time
to be required. Nevertheless there oc-
caSionS upon which 1t is necessary to have
printing done on forms which do not prop
erly come under any classified item of the
contracts, and in such cases 1t has been the
practice of the office to secure bids from
various parties engaged in the printing
business
1.-The suggestion of Judd & Detweiler,"
continue the officials. that printing other
than that covered by the items of contract
should be bid upon only by parties having a
yearly contract on all or a portion of the
printing for the District IS one that Is not
favorably considered. It Is believed that
the mere fact Of a firm or individual not
having contract for the fiscal year should
certainly not prevent him them from
having chance to bid for work other than
that covered by the contract. Such firm or
individual is, in our opinion, entitled to just
Ahe same opportunity to bid on work not
properly included In a contract as regular
contractor. The restricting of opportunities
to bid to a certain class of men is clearly,
in our opinion, unjust to other men in the
same business and should not be encour-
aged. 1t is considered that such a prac-
tice would be contrary to good business
principles and would possibly open way
to a combination Of certain parties which
might have material influence upon the
prices to be paid by the District The
practice of getting bids from various par
ties, including those having contracts and
others, has often proved to the advantage
Of the District. and it is believed should be
continued"
The Commissioners have approved the po-
sition taken by the property officers.

RESIDENTS FILE PROTESTS
Objections to Rifle Practice on ordwav
Range


score of residents of Columbia Park
Md, have sent petition to the Commits
sioners of the District protesting against
the rifle practice at the Ordway range OF
the District National Guard. After calling
attention to the danger to the residents OF
the locality from the rifle practice at the
range the petition continues:
Several residences ana outbuildings have
been penetrated by bullets fired from the
grounds. and the lives of travellers upon the
public highways have been placed in ieop-
ardy. Property in the vicinity of the range
cannot be leased or rented, and no person
who is familiar with the danger which
threatens them and their stock will buy
property In that locality. Only recently a
Mrs. Pauline Wheeler while standing on the
porch of her residence was struck by a
bullet fired from the range. The residences
of Messrs. Bailey, Sullivan, Lockhead and
others bear the marks of bullets which
came from the rifle range referred to.
Believing that when your attention has
been called TO the injuries already inflicted
upon us and our neighbors, and which
threatens in common all the residents of
the locality named, prompt and satisfa actory
measures will be taken by you to remedy
the evils complained Of we remain"
The petitioners also forward a copy OF
resolutions passed at a meeting of the resi-
dents of the neighborhood.
The range is in Maryland and Commits
sioner Macfarland. president Of the District
board. has recommended to his associates
that inasmuch as the Commissioners have
no Jurisdiction over this matter 1t should
be referred to the general commanding the
National Guard of the District.

Many of the British marksmen complain
Of the open sights on the Lee Enfield rihs,
saying that for match shooting they do not
compare with the peep sight. Cook, how
ever, thinks that the British shooters at
tach exaggerated Importance to peep sights
Believing that more depends on the man
than on the rifle, he does not attribute such
superiority to the Krag over the Lee-En-
