REFUND FOR WATER RENT
AND BUILDING PERMIT REFUSED

The recent sale OF property at 446 R
Street northwest has changed the Plans
OF II. r Howenstein relative TO the build
ing OF an apartment house, ana his re
quest for 6 refund OF the amounts paid for
building permit, water rent and a cross
walk has been granted IN part. The &C
tion OF the District Commissioners in
the case was based upon a report Of the
Auditor, who said he had refunded the
amount paid Tor the cross walk. but the
other amounts having been covered into
the United States Treasury. could not
be refunded unless it was shown the
payment had been erroneous 1t ap-
pears. ne says, the payment was made n
good faith, and the failure 10 carry out
the original plan was due 10 the sale OF
the property before building operations
had begun. The Auditor recommended
that the refund of the two items men
toned be not granted

NEW BUILDING WILL
NOT Be LARGE ENOUGH
Agricultural Department Officials Crit
else Present Appropriation.

Ofdcials Of the Department OF Agri-
culture are thoroughly dissatisfied with
the provisions nov existing for the ac-
CommOdation Of the force Of that branch
Of the Government and believe that the
puTposed new structure TO be erected on
the Mall near the present building will
afford little relief.
At present The working force under
the direction Of the Secretary or AgrI-
culture is scattered from Bethesda. Nd.
to Southwest Washington. where It is
so dispersed about the Mall that Only an
expert OF an old resident Of the city can
fnd his way 10 the various Offices. Dia-
grams OF the department are issued 10
strangers, with elaborate explanations.
but even then he is apt to wander for
hours in the wilderness before arriving
at his destination.
One prominent official declared this
morning that the appropriation made for
the new building was Inadequate and
that unless It was materially augmented.
the structure would not begin to accom-
mOdate the various divisions. At pres
ent. he said great discomfort is felt in
the main building on the Mall. where
the clerks are literally heTded together
in rooms where elbow space is at q pre-
MUM.
IN view Of the constantly increasing
Importance Of the department, with its
many subdivisions, the officials regard
an additional appropriation as urgent.

been attracted here to a statement made
in the Bulgarian sobFanje on Friday by
NJ. straca.miroT. a member Of the oppo-
sitiou, that the Macedonian movement
did Tot result from Turkish oppression.
but was the outcome cs the growth Of
national sentiment among the Mace

there would be revolution whether
reforms were introduced OF not. and as
sistance given by Bulgaria would
hasten rather than hinder the revoIu-
ton.
The prime minister. in denying that
Bulgaria had assisted the MacedoRians,
said that If necessary the government
would dissolve the Macedonian commit

Commissioner MacfaTland said.
The Commissioners and the citizens
alike want the city OF Washington to be
as nearly 'smokeIess' as possible. Prac-
deal and esthetic reasons combine 20
make this so. The present smoke law
enacted four years ago, was designed
10 meet this desire. Its constitutionaH-y
was questioned. so that it was in the
courts more than a year before its con-
stitutionality was affirmed
From that time efforts to comply
with it were made generally BY those
affected by 1t, locomotive engines and

LAW AGAINST SMOKE

Under the bill any plant could emit the
now prohibited smoke all day long for
three minutes at q time, simply by pro
viding an appreciate space Of time.
which need not exceed a minute, be
tween its periods Of smoke emission.
Even If each plant was restricted in the
number Of such periods of smoke ennis
sion. enough plants would be emitting
smoke at all time to make Washington 4
smoky city.
The Commissioners do not under
stand that the citizens generally OF any
organization OF citizens is asking for
such legislation. The Commissioners.
Of course, regret that many citizens
have been subjected to expense and some
to hardship in the process OF adjustment
to the smoke law, but they believe that
