GIVEN AN ASSISTANT.
Fire Marshal Bieber and His Aid on
INSPECTION Tour,

The work of the Office of the fire marshal
has increased so much during recent
mopths, 1t is said, that Chief Belt has had
to give Fire Marshal Bieber an assistant.
Foreman P. w. Nicholson of Truck D COM
pany was assigned to render the assistance
required. The fire marshal and his assist
ant are engaged in making an inspection
of business houses, to see that the law re-
specting the storage and sale of infiam-
mable oils is not being violated The reg
ulaton is framed in a way which is be-
lieved to give the best protection possible
against fires. In all cases where merchants
desire to sell oils their applications for per
mits are passed upon by the fire depart
ment officials before final action by the
Commissioners. The storage of gasoline in
frame structures is not permitted.
In some cities, it is stated, dealers are
not permitted to handle gasoline under any
conditions. In this city no effort has been
made to prevent the sale of the fluid, but
all the safeguards ina ginable have been
thrown about the business to reduce the
danger much as possible. 1t has been
suggested that rules for the guidance OF the
persons who use gasoline be printed and
distributed. Such action. it is believed.
might possibly reduce the number of fires
from gasoline. An important provision of
the regulations is the clause which prohib-
its the storing of gasoline in a building
that is partly used for dwelling purposes.

RENT REMAINS UNPAID.
Lease for Freedmen's Hospital for
Present Year Not Executed.

Rev DR.. r S. Hamlin and F. II. Smith
of the board of trustees of Howard Univer-
sity and George II. Stafford, secretary and
treasurer, called on Commissioner Macfar-
land this morning to ask that the rent,
amounting to S1.0JO, for the quarter, for
Freedmens Hospital. be paid. Mr.. Mac
farland sent for Auditor Garrison and
learned that the matter had been held up
because lease had not been signed for the
present fiscal year. The trustees then ex-
planned that the reason was that the sun
dry civil appropriation act required the
university to lease the hospital property to
the United States government for the pur-
pose of erecting the new hospital building,
and that they were expecting the Secretary
of the Interior to present a lease at any
time.
The trustees desired action today but. as
Commissioner West had considered it In
another phase, Commissioner Macfarland
told the trustees that he would await Com
missioner Vests return and then bring the
matter before the board Of Commissioners
Auditor Garrison said that in view of the
circumstances he could see no objection to
paying the rental without a lease until the
United States government leased the prop
erty.

REASONS ASSIGNED.
Auditor Explains Difficulty in Way Of
Establishing Alley.

Mrs. NJ. c. Slosson of 1913 18th street
northwest has complained to the Commits
sioners of delay in the opening of an al
ley through block SO, Columbia Heights, in
the rear of 1865 Kenesaw avenue.
Some time in August. 1862 says Mrs.
Slosson, II received a notice to pay about
1925 as assessment for the purpose of open
ing alley through this block 1t has
been months since 1 paid the assessment
and the penalty, and yet no work what
ever has been done. What right has the
District to demand our money and give
nothing in return? Upon the assurances
made to me. my house was rented with the
promise of an alley within a reasonable
time, but tenants will not remain in a
house where all the coal, ashes, garbage
and other refuse must be carried through
the house.
Auditor Garrison has reported to the
Commissioners upon the matter. as follows:
This Office after repeated efforts. has been
unable to secure the release of certain
deeds of trust and other membranes on
some of the land condemned for an alley in
this block. Final notice will be given to
the owners of the property affected by
these trusts and membranes. and should
they fail to clear the land of all liens. SO
that the. awards can be paid. an effort will
be made to cover the unpaid balances into
the registry of the court, in order that the
District may obtain possession of this al
ley'

requesting that water main be extended

by Superintendent Mcfarland of the water
department as follows:
ITO comply with the request of Dr.
French would necesstate either a 100-foot
extension of temporary service pipe or an
extension of the public main In my opin-
ion any such extension as this of small
wrought iron service pipes is undesira BILE,

acter and will afford protection from
fire. The objection to the extension of the

ing dirt over o street between 31st street

Georgetown precinct, in which the officer
says the contractor in charge Of the exca-
waiting work is doing all in his power to
comply with the regulations.
Major Sylvester says 1t is difficult mat
ter to avoid some dust and dirt where i'm
provements are being made He has COM
municated with the lieutenant, asking
whether the contractor cannot sprinkle the
street. although In the majors opinion If
the District has wagons in the vicinity 1t
would be fair that the dust be laid by the
District sprinklers. as the contractor is
entitled to the use Of the streets for all
legitimate purposes.
