Growth of Electric Lines.

Statistics showing the remarkable de-
velopment in the past twenty years OF
electric street railways have been com
piled by the Street Railway Journal. The
bonds and stock of all the companies in
the United States amount TO $685. ,O62,
the stock issues aggregating a,s44,565,1S6
and the funded debt OF all the lines $i,524,-
81, ga
The aggregate length of the electric
lines. is s2,517 miles The combined length
of all other street car lines, operated by
cables horses and other means, is only
6S3 miles. The electric lines have in serv-
ice 1880 cars, and lines using other mo-
tive power have in all only 1904.
Naturally, because of the density of pop
ulatlon, the most electric lines are in the
eastern and central states. Grouped

SWEEPING CONNECTICUT AVE.
Work to Be Completed Half Hour
Earlier

The question Of the time for completing
the early morning cleaning of Connecticut
avenue by the machine-sweeping contrac-
tors was the subject of hearing before the
Board of Commissioners at the District
building today. Supt. Twohey contends
that the sweeping should be completed at s
o'clock instead Of $50 o'clock, as is now
the case. Bayly & Rusk, the contractors,
declare that they do not begin the sweep
ing on Connecticut avenue until o'clock,
and that with their present force and equip
ment it would be almost a physical I'M
possibility to finish the work by o'clock.
Mr.. Bayly stated that to comply with the
requirement it would involve an additional
expenditure to him Of, approximately, $40
day, and to finish the work one-half hour
earlier, he contends, would inf1ict hard
ship on him.
Commissioner West stated that the Com
missioners are not desirious of infiicting a
hardship, but are anxious to give the city
the best possible service, and the Commits
sioners would therefore be willing to
compromise Upon the recommendation OF
permit the contractor to eliminate the
sweeping around the four triangles on
Pennsylvania avenue, between the Peace
monument and the treasury, and de-
vote the time thus employed in complet-
ing the sweeping Of Connecticut avenue
The sweeping around these triangles, Mr..
Twohey stated, requires forty minutes, and
by eliminating that work the time would be
sufficient to complete the work on Connecti-
cut avenue by o'clock in the morning.
This arrangement proved satisfactory to
all concerned. 1t will be given two weeks
trial, and If it results satisfactorily will be
adopted permanently.
Other questions of street cleaning were
discussed. The contractors claimed that
the rules laid down for the hours Of sweep
ing throughout the city by Mr.. Twohey are
not practicable, and Mr.. Twohey declared
to the Commissioners that the contractors
have not an adequate force to properly
clean the streets.

REPORT BY CHEMIST.
Insanitary Conditions at Soldiers and
Sailors Home.

In a report to the Commissioners today
r. l.. Lynch, the District chemist. stated
that he had investigated the conditions at
the Soldiers and Sailors Temporary Home.
1O6 Sd street, and found the building in an
exceptionally insanitary condition He re-
ported that most of the plumbing is iflsani-
tary, and that the walls of the building
are damp and disease inviting The room
known as the sick bay" he stated, is poor
iy heated and badly ventilated, which con-
dition naturally has a tendency to retard
the recovery of the sick inmates.
The investigation was for the purpose
Of determining what repairs were needed
at the building, as the Commissioners in
tend to ask for an appropriation to improve
the premises. DIR. Lynch said his report
could not be considered as exaggerated or
accidental as he visited the home at a
time when It had just undergone general
house cleaning

tons at the home

Before the Commissioners.

The District Commissioners have before
them the question of permitting the Sal
walton Army and other religious organ
izations to keep the pot boiling" on the
street corners during the Christmas holi-
days. For number Of years the Saliva
ton Army was permitted to have its
officers make such collections upon the
corners in the business section, and the
practice would probably have been con-.
tinued this year had it not been that APP
plications for such permission became so
numerous.
No such collections were permitted dur
ing the Thanksgiving holidays, and the
Commissioners were advised of what ac-
ton the police had taken. The Commits
sioners have not yet made ruling upon
the question: and it is thought permits
for taking up such collections will not be
granted this year.
