QUESTION OF PARKING
ON SIXTEENTH STREET
Commissioners Asset That Under the
Law the District Is Not Required
TO Do Grading.

w r. Decide. of 1919 Z Street north
west, viii be informed by the Commits
sioners that Sixteenth Street, from
Morris Street northward. in the Meri-
dian Hiu subdivision. cannot be graded
back TO the building line at present.
The matter was referred to Assistant
Engineer Richards. who reported that
in the condemnation of Sixteenth Street
no consideration was given to the prob
ability OF a parking along the line of
this street but the award was made on
the suppOsition that the Commissioners
could improve the street to any width
deemed advisable.
An effort was made by the Corpora
ton Counsel" says Mr. Richards. ito
have the parking width considered. so
that benefits might be assessed on the
abutting property by reason OF the fu-
ture establishment Of parking space.
Since a parking has been established
along the line of this street. and since
no benefits have been assessed for such
contemplated Improvement. II seems
equitable that parties should be allowed
to grade their own parking. They have
already done so in several cases In all
estimates for grading this street the
grading of parking has not been in
cluded. and attention is invited to the
fact that the extra heavy cuts and fills
would add very greatly to the opening
of this street if the District should b
required to do the work. 1 recommend
that the request be denied"

septic temperature and pulge indicated
an extremely critical condition. lie was
operated upon by DR.. Rfonte Griffith, an
ear specialist. who saved the life Of the
patient and restored him to normal
health.

disease was due to exposure to severe
weather while performing his duty as a
patrolman. The matter was brought to
the attention OF the Commissioners,

submitted by Dr. Griffith for Sl25. This
will be paid by the District.

OF THE BAR
FAVORABLE TO WRIGHT
District Supreme Court Appointment
Proves to Be Popular-Han-
mas Antagonist Is Ended.

Dispatches from Cincinnati indicate
that mem. ers of the bar there are high
~ gratihed at the appointment by the
President of Judge Daniel Thew Wright
as associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the District OF Columbia. In
spite of the political opposition to Judge
Wright, he had the almost upanimous
support of the southern Ohio bar and
judiciary.
In many quarters the appointment IS
taken as indicating defiance of Senator
Hanna by the President. The opposi-
ton of Hanna and George b. Cox, the
Republican leader of Hamilton county,
proceeded from the fact that some time
d go Judge Wright aided Senator Foraker
IL a movement to unseat Cox in
his control of the county machinery
Cox retained leadership by mar
row margin. but he vowed vengeance
against Judge Wright, and Senator
Hanna backed him up.
1t is definitely stated that Senator
Hanna viii not oppose confirmation, but
at the same time it is said his protest
to the President has never been with
drawn.
Judge Wright is but thirty-nine years
old His family has lived in River
side. a suburb of Cincinnati, for forty
years He studied law with his father,
an eminent lawyer and was admitted
to the bar in 1857 lie served term
as solicitor of Riverside and two terms
as mayor there. In 1889 he was named
as second assistant prosecuting attor-
ney of the superior, common pleas, ana
probate courts, and in 1892 as first as
sistant. In 1898 he was elected judge
of the common pleas court and served
