Motors Used Within City.

The Commissioners yesterday received
from w. A. Church, president of the South
west Washington Citizens Association, a
copy of a set of resolutions adopted by
that association several nights ago COM
mending the action of the Commissioners
in their endeavor to have a law passed
prohibiting locomotives operating within
the District from emitting smoke 49,:
The Commissioners have expressed them
selves as being much gratified at receiv-
ing the commentator. as they declare
that, in their fight for legislation governing
the locomotives, they will need the hearty
approval and support of all the various
citizens associations.
The resolutions set forth that
1.-The Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia are advocating and requesting
Congress to amend the law relating to
the emission of smoke in the District of
Columbia as to apply to steam loco
motives" and as
This association has for many years
past urged the Commissioners to devise
some means to relieve the residents Of
Washington city of the property-destroy-
ing and health-menacing smoke nuisance,
largely increased in recent years, all other
parties in the District of Columbia being
compelled to observe the provision Of a
stringent smoke law when the chief Of
tenders, the steam railroad companies,
are exempt"
Also citing IndI Engineer. ftlCHdTUS OIL
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in
his testimony before the District committee
of the House when advocating the UNI
brella type of train sheds, called attention
to the poisonous effect of smoke and smoke
gases, reciting an instance of passenger
fainting as a result of breathing the at
mosphere contaminated by the smoke"
Therefore this association heartily COM
mends the action of the District Commits
sioners and joins with them in asking Con-
gress to pass law prohibiting steam loco
motives from emitting smoke anywhere
within the confines of the District of Co
lumba. and
1.-THE president of this association is en-
powered to appoint a committee of five
members to appear before Congress in adj
vocacy of the pending amendment to the
smoke law and in conclusion it was
ordered
THAT a copy of the resolution be sent
to tn chairmen of the District committees
of the House and Senate and to the Com
missioners of the District Of Columbia"

PREVALENCE OF GRIP.
Physicians Say They Have Many Cases
of It.

There has been an unusual prevalence of
colds in the District during the last two
weeks and the officials of the health de-
partment attribute it to the cloudy, rainy.
murky weather which has been in evidence
in Washington nearly every day since
Christmas. Physicians are not required to
report such cases to the health department
as they are compelled to in many other
diseases and the health department is I'M
able to determine the statistics, but DIR.
Woodward stated yesterday that he has
kept a close watch and he is Of the opinion
that there is more ailments of the nature
of grip in the District than there was at
this period last year. However. he does not
consider that the disease has assumed pro-
portions such as would cause any uneasi-
ness or concern.
1t Is understood the attendance at the
public schools is considerably affected. Some
of the physicians who visited the health
office yesterday stated that they considered
the grip unusually prevalent and that they
have many cases of it on hand, but none Of
them fear that the conditions are such as to
indicate an epidemic.
