Sewerage Facility in Tenleytown.

The Commissioners recently received
letter from Representative-elect John c.
CLANCY of Indiana inquirlng If a sewerage
system cannot soon be installed in Ten
leytown and vicinity. In order that the
Sisters of Providence OF St Mary's of the
Woods, may open their academy located
on Arizona avenue. II is stated that the
sisters cannot open the school because of
the lack of sewerage facilities.
Colonel Biddle has replied that in order
to provide sewerage facilities for the prop
erty in question it will require the con-
struction of the Arizona avenue trunk sewer
for which the Commissioners included an
item in their estimates, but which was not al
lowed by the appropriations committees of
Congress. Colonel Bidde suggests that a
temporary sewage disposal system might
be devised for the sewerage of the prop
erty, and that the Commissioners would
be glad TO pass upon any plan which may
be submitted for this temporary system.

Clerks and Their Debts.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The bill introduced in Congress on the
10th instant by Representative Dixon re-
quiring civil service employees of the United
States to pay their honest debts should re-
ceive the support Of every member of the
legislative branch of the United States gov
eminent and be enacted into law at once.
Officers of the United States army and
navy, employees of railroads and hundreds
of other large interpretations are compelled
to pay their honest debts or be dismissed,
while hundreds, yes, thousands of persons
employed in the civil service of the United
States contract debts without even the
slightest fear of being called to account il
they do not feel disposed to pay them.
The writer does not desire to go on record
as stating that all government employees
are dishonest, or even majority of them,
but, on the contrary, believes that large
majority of them are honest, and that this
large ajority would hail with joy the pas
sage of Representative Dixon's BILL for the
reason that they would then be placed on
an equality with employees outside of the
government service when they desired to
obtain credit.
The writer, who has had over twelve
years experience in business in the District
of Columbia, can state with impunity that
he knows that there are hundreds of hon
est government employees in this city who
can not OBTAIN credlt because the dishonest
ones have not been compelled to pay debts
contracted for necessaries of life thereby
creating the impression that all govern
ment employees are dishonest.
Can the United States government afford
to employ dishonest persons? The writer
believes not and some of the departments
will not, neither will interpretations, If they
know it, and the writer sincerely hopes
that Congress will vote as one man for the
passage of Representative Dixon's bill
which would certainly be an everlasting
blessing to the community.
The Star, which has always been an ad-
vocate of honesty and justice, will certainly
add to its laurels if it will do what 1t can
to aid in the passage of this bill

lions that the law prescribes that 'the pub
