Interpretation Of Act Of Congress Re
lating to Electric Lighting.

The electric plants operated in the new
pumping station and in the public schools
OF the District are not affected by the new
act of Congress relating to the sundry civil
appropriation. and with particular refer
ence to electric lighting by the federal and
District governments, according to an opin-
lon of Controller Tracewell in response
to request Of the Commissioners. His
contention is that this law does not apply
to appropriations made for the mainte-
nance of plants for generating electric
power, which have been constructed and
fully equipped and were in operation
previous to the date Of the passage Of the
act of March f. 1907.
The plants in the Trumbul street pump
Ing station and in the Mckinley and Arm

RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
INSANITARY BUILDINGS BOARD
NAMED IN PETITION.

William F. Hoffman today filed in the
District Supreme Court a petition for rule
on William Kelly. William c. Woodward
and Snowden Ashford. constituting the
board for the condemnation OF insanitary
buildings. to show cause why their order OF
condemnation Of certain property Of the Pc
titfoner should not be vacated and held to
be Of no effect.
The petitioner, by Attorney Richard A..
Ford informs the court that he owns prem
ises 1T and 11s Douglass court northeast
and Nos. 1913. 1925 and 327 Lowe alley north
east, and that May last he was served
with notice by the condemnation board
directing that unless the buildings should
be repaired in manner indicated in a
previous notice they would be demolished
He declares ne Is ready and willing to make
all necessary repairs, but says carpenters
employed by him to prosecute the work
were denied the necessary building permits
Mr.. Hoffman denies that the buildings
in question have deteriorated to the extent
OF 90 per cent Of their value. as claimed
by the board, but on the contrary alleges
that the property can be repaired and put
In tenantable and sanitary condition for
less than one-quarter of their value which
sum he Is willing to expend
The value of the lots on which the build
lngs stand, 1t Is alleged, will be practically
destroyed If the orders Of condemnation
are allowed to be put into effect as each
of the alleys in which the buildings stand
Is less than thirty feet wide, and under
the regulations no permit for new build
ing would be issued.
On that showing Mr.. Hoffman asks the
court to intervene. on the theory that the
action Of the board ordering the demolition
or the buildings and refusing to grant per-
mits for the necessary repairs Is violative
OF his constitutional rights and amounts to
confiscation without compensation.
Filled with the petition are afiidavts Of
Byron E. Bradley and Turner W. Kibby,
carpenters, who aver that the necessary
repairs to the property in controversy can
be made for 500, and that when they ap-
Piled for permits to do the repair work the
necessary permit was refused.
