AUTOMATIC SCALES.
More improvements at tho Raritan
Copper Work.

Another Improvement and labor
saving device has been made ct tile
Raritan Copper Works, this time in
the weighing department..
When the blast furnace was built a
few years ago scales for weighing
were installed. At these scales two
wieRhers were employed They re-
oeived $l.75 per day. These scales
have been takon out and a patent
self Weighing scale has been put in
the yard. As the material to be used
in the blast furnace is needed it is
run up to one of these scales and the
laborer, who brings it, puts it on the
platform, and the weight is taken.
At night an office employe opens the
scale and takes the weight of the ml-
terial used that day.
These new scales, it is said. are
more accurate than the old style,
and the firm is we'll pleased with
them.

STATUS OF ALLEYS.
Perplexing Question Settled by Com

The perplexing question as to the status
of the alley in square 9I3 between Z and q
and 10th and 18th streets southeast, has
just been settled by the Commissioners
much to the satisfaction of the District
officials and the citizens and property own
ers in the square mentioned
On petition Of a majority of the prop
erty owners in the square condemnation
proceedings to condemn an alley in the
square were entered into July 10, 1902. The
proceedings were had and jury in the case
assessed the damages and benefits. the pa
pers In the case then being referred to the
District auditor, who WAS Instructed TO pay
the damages.
However, upon referring the question OF
ownership to a local title company IL was
found that an alley had been laid out in the
square at the same time that the streets in
the city of Washington had been laid out,
but that the alley had been entirely oblit-
Grated hv subdivisions made by the owners
CT the property in 1912. These facts. hav-
ing been substantiated by an opinion of
the corporation counsel, no further proceed
lngs were taken in the matter of the alley

Several months ago II was suggested by
the District engineer department to Mr.
Iharles ii. Cecil, one of the property own
erS IN the square, whose lot apparently in
cluded a portion of the obscured pubic al
ley, that the whole matter of the status of
ire alley might be settled under section 1905
OF the District code by means of all the
property owners in the square dedicating an
alley therein In approximately the same To-

ton proceedings. 1t was suggested that I'M
