taken toward the acquisition of the build

August Peterson recently wrote to the
Commissioners. declaring the proposed reg
ulations governing automobiles and prohib-
iting splitting on the sidewalks will be well
come to the people of Washington. In this
connection, however. he desired to call at
tention to the non-enforcement of the regu-
lations in reference to- fruit vendors. Mr..
Peterson alleged that theystill obstruct the
streets. Major Sylvester. the superintend-
emit Of police. has submitted a report in re-
gard to the matter in which he says:
THE police regulations do not permit the
fruit vendors to stop except to make sales.
and the police have been very lenient to-
ward this class except in the vicinity of
business houses and 7th street. from which
points they have frequently been taken to
the stations. subsequently FORGETTING col
lateral A body representing these men
were called before the Commissioners some
time ago. and they were informed that the
police did not want to appear in the atti-
tude OF prosecuting them, but wanted to
give them every reasonable show. How
ever, they have never abided by their agree
ment. and letters are on file in this depart
ment explanatory of their action to those
who have defriended them.
The obstruction of the intersection of
7th street with Pennsylvania avenue in any
way Is dangerous to pedestrians crossing
to and from the cars. and to others, for the
reason that 1t Is very busy point l have
talked to these people personally and urged
them to desist In their violations, and when
they have failed to take warning the cases

they would rather pay the light fines i'm
