DISTRICT MAY TEST
SNOW AND ICE LAW
No Money to Clear Sidewalks-No Power
to Compel Citizens to Do Sedan
ger Of Damage Suits.


The presence Of ice and snow on the
sidewalks Of Washington the past week
has renewed interest in the possible ac-
ton OF the Commissioners regarding
the snow and ice law.
Early in the snowfall the Commits
sioners announced that no prosecu-
ions would follow the failure of resi-
dents 10 clean their own sidewalks.
As "a result Of the inability Of the
Commissioners to enforce the law,
which the District courts last spring
declared unconstitutional, and 4 lack
OF appropriations from which TO pay
the cost or cleaning sidewalks the
commissioners had no other alterna-
i've bat 10 let the snow melt 20 aslush
ON the walks or freeze to ice on which
70 trip the feet OF the unwary.
The possibility of damage suits as a
result of this procedure. however. is
not 81 pleasant one for the District Of
metals 10 contemplate. They have been
casting about for some eXpedient TO take
the place OF the law which the courts
refused 20 uphold. There was some
talk OF appealing the case which the
District lost under this law, but as
there are some weak points in this par
ueular case, an appeal is not likely.
However, a test case may be brought
by the Commissioners 10 further satisfy
themselves as 70 the cOnstitutionality OF
the law.

MAY APPROVE TRANSFER
OF PER DIEM EMPLOYEES
1T Is Believed That District Subcom-
mittee Will Accept Commits
sioners' recommendations.

One Of the most important subjects
which was talked about last week dur
ing the conferences between the Com
missioners and the House subcommittee
on Appropriations, was the placing Of
per diem employees of the District above
the grade Of labOrer on the regular rolls
OF an annual salary.
The Commissioners desire to obtain
this transfer. and for three years have
made the recommendation. The sub
committee members are giving the mat
ter careful consideration. Some details
Of the plan are yet to be worked out,
hut il is believed the committee viii ap-
prove the transfer.
The compensation Of some employees
Is likely to be slightly reduced as a
result of the change. Employees who now
work 3i3 days In a year viii hereafter
be paid III placed on the annual roll,
on basis Of 800 days service. Employees
who now work 365 days in a year will
DO paid on a basis Of $50 days. They
will have thirty days annual leave and
sick leave, however, as an extra COM
pensat.on. At present they receive no
sick leave and from three 10 nine days

That the south is, taking an inter
est In the approaching Inauguration, OF
President Roosevelt, and that ID Is not
impossible that Southern troops win

established this morning when. William
Frye Tibbetts, collector of the port Of

cuss with the chairman the feasibility
OF sending troops from Alabama
General Wilson assured Major Tibbetts
that nothing would crafty the country
at large more than the appearance in
the inm gurauoh parade OF Southern
troops. Speaking for the COMMITTEES,
General Wilson said the Alabamidns or.
other 'SOutherners would be sure5of the
warmest welcome. -
Would Like to Attend.
Major Tibbetts told General Wilson
that members Of the National Guard OF
his State had expressed a desire to at
tend the Inauguration of President
Roosevelt, and had commissioned him
TO make inquiries concerning the plan.
He will return to Mobile shortly and
write TO General Wilson the decision of
the Alabamians.
The Inauguration committee stu has
hopes of getting the Pension Building
for the ball, and TO-DAY several promi-
nent members Of the executive commit
tee and the legislative committee called
on speaker Cannon. The object of the
visit was to acquaint the Speaker with
the exact situation, in the hope that he
will waive his objections to the use OF
