MAY INSTALL PLANT.
District to Operate Electric Genera
tor at Municipal Building.

According to an opinion forwarded to
the Commissioners by ]. B. Reynolds. as
sistant secretary of the Treasury. the
District can operate its own electric gen.
Grating plant at the Municipal building
without violation of the act of Congress of
March 4, 1907. making appropriations for
sundry civil expenses of the government.
The act referred to provides that the
federal and District government cannot
install any electric heating and lighting
apparatus unless the same can be pur-
chased and operated afterward at cost
less than the electric service could be
furnished by some private corporation.
Little notice was paid to this provision
in connection with the installation of the
generating plant at the Municipal build
Ing. and it was not until last June. when
the work Of installation was almost COM
pleted. that any question was raised
The matter was referred to the Treasury
Department. and the Hanley-Casey Com
PAM or Chicago. which was furnishing
the plant. was notified to disconiinue the
work until the question was settled. 1t
was determined by the officials of the
Treasury Department that the work Of in
Stallat1on and operating can be done
cheaper by the District than by private
corporation. The plant is to cost x7}. 400
This decision also affects the Mckinley
Manual Training School, the Armstrong
Manual Training School, the sewage dis
posal station. the Bryant street pumping
station and the Home for the Aged and
lnfirm all of which have their own cleo
trio generating plants.

of the peninsula is low. arid and hot.
There are some mountains in this re-
gton." Mr.. Nelson said. but they are
generally of solid rock and void of any
foliage. There are some pine and small
