THE sEALFR's TYPEWRITER.
Explanation Made as to Its Purchase
by Mr.. Haskell.

An explanation relative to the purchase of
a typewriter for the Office of the sealer of
weights and measures, which was criticised
by Auditor Timme for the state and other
departments, was submitted to Commits
sioner West yesterday by Property Clerk
R. D. Simms. Auditor Timme called at
tention to a voucher which showed that
typewriter had been purchased from Sealer
Haskell for the use of his office, that the
receipt of the machine was signed by Mr..
Haskell and that the receipt of the money
was also signed by Mr.. Haskell.
Major Simms indicates that this proceed
ure is not a customary practice in connec-
ton with the purchase of supplies for the
District offices. Mr.. Haskell, he says, per-
sonally bought the typewriter some time
ago for use in the Office of the sealer of
weights and measures. 1t was deemed adj
visable for the District to supply the Office
with machine and, after representative
of the company manufacturing the ma
chine appraised 1t at $50, Mr.. Haskell sold
1t to the District for $50.
1.-The terms" says Major Simms. under
which this particular purchase was made
were so manifestly to the advantage of the
District that it was assumed that upon con-
sideration of all the facts pertaining thereto
any possible objection to same would be re-
moved"

the square on 10Th street between Balti-
more and Cincinnati streets be designated
hereafter as Ciiffbourne place.
Capt. Morrow. in his report on the mat
ter. states that recent legislation provides
for the extension of 18th street from its
present terminus at Belmont road to Balti-
more street, which it will intersect at a
point about 400 feet west of the present
intersection of 10Th and Baltimore streets.

1t is believed that this condition will tend
TO considerable confusion" Capt Morrow
believes that the proposition to designate
the short street as Cliffbourne place pos
sesses considerable merit. Mr. O'Brien win
be requested by the authorities to submit
majority of the representative property
owners of the vicinity expressing q desire
for the proposed change in name of the
street.
