SNOW LAW WARRANTS.
Batch of Twenty Five Sent Out by
Police Today.

Warrants alleging a violation of the
snow law in failing to remove Fridays fall
of snow from the sidewalks adjoining their
premises were issued from the Police Court
today for twenty-five persons.
This is the first batch of warrants issued
since the new law providing a fine of s.
went into effect. Heretofore the highest
penalty was fine of 81 for failing to re-
move snow and large number of persons
appeared to prefer paying that amount in
snow removed
1t IS thought that the new law will have
tendency to cause property owners and
householders to have the snow removed
rather than stand the chance of being as
sessed So for their negligence.

Congress, which. while it has given to the
states about 100,C00,000 acres of the public
lands for common schools and state sni-
versities, besides 100000 acres, and now
$4,000 in cash yearly to each state for agri-
cultural colleges, it has never given to the
District an acre of land, and prior to 1878 it
never paid one cent for schools or school
buildings in the District. Hence, what
ever may be the feeling of the citizens of
the District on the subject, as / say, these
parties are simply following the example
set by Congress in refusing to award a
scholarship to the District. In view of this
and many other facts that might be men,

District by Congress. l think the woman's
