ELECTRICAL WIRING.
Commissioner Macfarland Requests
Report on the Subject.

I-non the recommendation of Commission
er mcfarland the corporation counsel Will
ha requested for a rule relative to the
legal form of the rules and regulations
governing electrical wiring in the District,
which has been p epaTed by Electrical En-
gineer Allan and approved by the CommlS-
sioners. The regulations have been drafted
and adopted in compliance with the pro-
visions of the electrical wiring act passed
by the last Congress, giving the Commls-
sioners authority over the matter.
The rules as prepared by Mr. Allen are
based upon those of the national board
been added certain specific regulations to
govern wiring in theaters and hotels and
also to govern the erection of signs and
lamps in front of buildings.
According to the new regulations per-
mits must be obtained for electrical wiring
or for altering the building in which there
is electrical wiring. close scrutiny over
electrical signs will be inaugurated. Per-
mits for their erection must be secured
from the electrical engineer. An effort Will
be made to prevent the erection of iliumi-
mated signs any part of which shall be
colored red. Red lights have been adopted
by the electrical department to indicate
at night the location of fire alarm boxes,
and it is not desired to have other red
lights on the streets that may interfere
Herewith.
The issuance of permits for lamps out
side of buildings will be transferred from
the permit clerk to the electrical engineer,
as 90 per cent of the lights placed are
said to be electric and require inspection.
An amendment to the police regulations
has been suggested to secure this change.
Hereafter electric lighting. wiring and
devices in theaters, churches and places of
public amusement shall be under the super
vision of the electrical engineer instead of
the fire marshal at present. Such an
arrangement has met with the approval
of Fire Marshal Bieber. and Electrical En-
gineer Allen recommended yesterday that
the police regulation be amended to so pro-
vide.
A fee of 81 is provided to introduce, alter
or extend electric wiring for placing lights
outside of buildings. for temporary work
on buildings and a fee of SIS for a license
for all electrical contractors is to lie
charged.
In the preparation of these rules and reg
ulations the electric department consulted
with the Association of Electrical En-
gineers, with the electrical expert of the
board of fire underwriters, with represen-
tatives and experts of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and a study
was made of the regulation in other cities

a reason for cutting the price Now
this same scribbler attributes the
further reduction In price to posi-
bilities In Texas oil coming In com.

given good plain old methods of
robbery as a reason for the Stan

mention the fact that there Is no
cut In the Standard dividends.
