of Interest in an Estate.

Upon consideration of q petition OF Joseph
E. Willard and his minor children, Belle
Wyatt Willard and Mary Elizabeth Willard.
Justice Anderson, in the Probate Court, has
appointed Thomas B. Love guardian of
Belle Wyatt Willard and Mary Elizabeth
Willard. Mr.. Love, as guardian, has filed
a bill for exchange of his wards real eS-
tate. He expresses the belief that the in
terest of his wards will be promoted by
the exchange of their property, it being
parts of lots and 10, square 222, for part of
lot 8. square 224. The latter has south
frontage on F street between 14th and 18TH
streets, and, the court is informed Is be-
lleved to have better future than parts of
lots 1 and 10, square Do which have a
north frontage on H street between 18th
and 18th streets.
The H street property yields a net reve-
nue of about 81 300 year. but, 1t is stated,
under especially favorable opportunity
now presented. the same, If sold at once,
can he made to realize $60,0 900 In order to
effectuate such sale and, at the same time,
to furnish equally good or better invest

erty mentioned. comprising 400 square
feet, of the estimated value of from SIS to

nue. of about So, 500 year.

With regard to using the District dump

quest be denied. AS to the size of the
wagons Secretary Rodrick of the board of
education has reported as follows:
Il think If the contractor should be al
lowed to use a wagon holding three cubic
yards 1T would be confusing and prevent an
accurate account being kept of the amount
of ashes removed, because In great many
instances the quantity removed at one
time does not exceed two cubic yards and
a two-yard wagon is better adapted for the
purpose, thus avoiding parts of loads, which
is very desirable. | would recommend that
the provisions of the contract be carried
