Driver Answers to Two Charges.
Jesse Kemp. colored, employed as a cart
driver. was passing with his team along
50th street yesterday and Policeman Baston
called his attention to sand dropping on the
street. The driver notified the policeman
that the dropping of the sand was not his
affair. His arrest followed his failure to
profit by the advice given and he then be-
against him and fines aggregating 81 were
imposed upon him
Express Disappointment.
Expressions of disappointment are heard
from residents in the section west Of Rock
creek at X street northwest regarding the
failure of the District Commissioners to in
dorse recommendation recently made by
the superintendent of bridges for the con-
struction of a new bridge and their refusal
to include in their annual budget an ap-
preparation for the purpose. The present
condition of the K street bridge, it is de-
clared, is dangerous because of the heavy
traffic which daily passes over 1t. Re-
pairs on the present bridge, it is stated, are
contemplated, but business men in this Sec
ton argue that as much money will be used
in repairing the bridge as would be required
to construct new one.
