CREATES NEW OFFICE

TENDENT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Commissioners Make Argument in Sup
port Of Measure-Result
of Experience.

er Macfarland the District authorities today
forwarded to the chairmen of the Senate
and House committees on the District OF
Columbia the draft of a bill providing for
a superintendent of the fire department OF
the District. with the request that 1t be
introduced and favorably acted upon during
the present session.
In his letter accompanying the bill Mr..
mcfarland states that the experience of
the Commissioners satisfies them that the
head of the fire department should be an
executive officer only, and that this bill. If
enacted, would materially promote the eff
ficiency of that branch of the District gov
eminent. He states that it is in harmony
with the practice of number of large cities
in this country, and the adoption of the
principle here would not be an innovation,
but substantially a reverson to system
formerly in vogue by which the administra-
tive supervision of the fire department was
vested in a board of fire commissioners.

be authorized and directed to appoint a
superintendent of the fire department Of the

ton of the Commissioners, have administra
tive supervision over the affairs of the fire
department. Before entering on his duties
as such he shall take and file with said
Commissioners an oath of office to faithfully
perform said duties, and give such bond
for the faithful performance of said duties
as the Commissioners may require and ap
prove.
sum sufficient to pay the salary of the
superintendent from the date of his ap-
pointment during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1904. and also for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1905, is hereby appropriated
out of any moneys in the treasury not 9TH
erwise appropriated and out of the revenues
of the District of Columbia in equal parts.
Section provides that the provisions of sec
ton of IAN act relating to the metropoli-
tan police of the District of Columbia" ap-
proved February g. 1901, for the relief OF
the chief engineer of the fire department in
case of his retirement as provided by law,
and the relief of his widow and children in
case of his death, are hereby made applica-
BILE to the other officers OF said department
of and above the rank of foreman. and their
widows and children; and the provisions of
law for the relief of widows Of officers and
other members Of the police and fire depart
ments are hereby made applicable to the
dependent mothers of such officers and men,
bers, as the case may be, deceased, under
circumstances similar to those which entitle
widows to such relief.

Small Appropriations.

The Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton, which recently forwarded to the Com
missioners a resolution urging the planting
o. shade trees on both Sides of Sherman
avenue, will. be informed, in accordance
with a recommendation by Colonel Biddle,
Engineer Commissioner, that the engineers
office is very DESTROYS of extending the tree
service to streets not already supplied with
trees as fast as possible, but that the
annual appropriations for trees are so small
that they are barely sufficient to care for
trees already planted, leaving but a small
margin for the planting of new trees An
additional amount has been asked for in
the bill now before Congress- and 1t is
hoped that an adequate amount may be
obtained, so that needed paintings can be
made.

Alleges Inaccessibility.

Emma H. Adams Of 937 N street north
west recently wrote the Commissioners re-
Guesting that orders be given for the re-
moval of ashes and other refuse from her
premises and complaining that the garbage
collector seems to have forgotten her The
matter was investigated by Warner Stutler,
superintendent of the street cleaning de-
partment who reports that the reason the
ashes and garbage have not been removed
from the writer's premises is because the
material Is not accessible to the collectors.
The collectors, 1t Is stated, have to pass
through shed gate in order to collect the
refuse, and this gate has been kept locked
on the inside during the hours when the
garbage men have called to collect the ma
terial. Mr.. Stutler suggests that Mrs.
Adams make provision so that the col
lectors can gain access to the premises
