The Bathing Beach.
During the past season the bathing beach
has been patronized by thousands of every
class and the houses have been so crowded
that desirable privacy could not be afforded.
1t is to be hoped. therefore, that Congress
will appreciate the pressing necessity which
is now presented The construction of the
new speedway compelled the removal of the
old structures, and as they were in badly
decayed condition they were sold at auction
and the amount realized therefrom turned
into the treasury. At its last session Con-
gress disregarded the estimate of $4,000
deemed requisite to erect ample and SUBJ
stantial buildings and appropriated only
s., 900 for the purpose. Repeated efforts to
utilize this sum in a practical and economi-
cal manner have demonstrated that it would
be wiser to again submit the matter to Con-
gress with request for additional ap-
preparation of $4,000, which amount would
be used for constructing new buildings and
wharves and for grading and sanding the
bottom of the inner basin. An appropria-
ton of 5000 is also asked for remodeling
the two floating baths in the tidal reservoir.
Most of the patronage of these baths has
been in the night for bathing nude, and the
superintendent of the beach reports that
there is pressing demand for this charac-
ter of bathing on the part of men and boys
who work all day and who avail themselves
of this opportunity for cleanliness.

Fire Department.
The Commissioners feel great satisfaction
in the passage by the Fifty-ninth Congress
of the act providing for the reorganization
of the fire department and well-merted
increase in the compensation of the officers
and men. recommended by them
Three large fires occurred during the
year, which were responsible for over one
half of the total fire loss during that
period. One of the fires was at the bows
reform school. one in an apartment house
at 1904 and 12O6 street northwest, and
one among the commission houses on
Louisiana avenue.
The department has given special atten-
ton to fire prevention during the year, es-
pecially by the inspection of mercantile
houses. hotels. apartment houses, theaters
and the storage and sale of gasoline kero-
sene and other infiammable material
The Commissioners recognize the impor-
tance of having the fire department of the
District of Columbia so equipped that IL
will be able to cope with any emergency
that may arise and, therefore, in addition
TO their recommendations for additional
apparatus, houses and men, repeat their
recommendation for the installation of a
high pressure gravity water fire protection
system for the center of the city of Wash
ington. Repeated tests have fully demon
strated the effectiveness of the proposed
Improvement. The estimated cost of the
system has been placed at $3.50. 10000, but
It's value. If once installed. cannot be over
estimated.
The buildings of the fire department are
in constant need of repair, and some of the
older buildings are in such condition that
they should soon be entirely rebuilt The
appropriation for repairs should be in
creased.
The conduct of the members of the de-
partment has been maintained at its gen.
eral high standard during the year.

places. The enactment on June 80, 1906, of
the act commonly known as the pure food
law will materially affect, it is believed. the
supervision of the manufacture and sale of
drugs and foods in the District of Column
bia, but at the present time 1t is impossible
to state just what the result will be.
Prior to the enactment of the federal leg
islation now in force, governing the slaugh-
ter of live stock intended for interstate
commerce, the inspection of live stock was
sufficiently rigl to lead to the slaughtering
in one of the adjacent states of such ami
mails as could not, without risk of con-
demnation. have been presented at our
local abattoir. Now, however, since the
federal inspection law has been strength
ened and the inspection force increased SO
as to make it more stringent and effective
than our local demands can be made I'M
der existing conditions, it will be necessary
to enact legislation for the better control of
the slaughtering of live stock within the
District that is intended for sale in this
Jurisdiction. Legislation to that end will be
submitted at an early date.
The various laws and regulations in
tended to prevent the occurrence and to
effect the abatement of nuisances have re-
spection force has permitted. A statement
of the work done under such laws appears
in the report of the health officer. An in
crease in the number of inspectors Is asked.
The Commissioners have undertaken to
improve sanitary conditions, in so far as
the maintenance of stables is concerned by
promulgating, on April 4, 1905, certain new
regulations governing the construction and
care of buildings used for that purpose,
and by promulgating, on May IS. 1905, GER
tain regulations governing the maintenance
and operation of barber shops.

of enforcing the law for the removal OF

special appropriation for that purpose The
amount of work incident to the enforce
ment of this law is very great. and the
work occurs at a season when the general
demands on the time of the inspection

greatest. If appropriations are not to be
made for the enforcement of the law as II
