Postal Savings Banks
The question of financial legisla,
ton is receiving such attention in
both houses that we have a right to
expect action before the close of the
session. 1t is urgently necessary
says the president. that there should
be such action. Moreover, action
should be taken to establish posta
savings banks. These postal say

for the benefit of the wageworkerS
and men of small means, and vii

Water-powers.
Numerous bills granting water
power rights on navigable streams
have been introduced. None o
them give the government the righ'
to make a reasonable charge fol
the valuable privileges so granted
in spite of the fact that these water
power privileges are equivalent Il
many thousands of acres OF the bes
coal lands for their production o
power. Nor is any definite time
limit set, as should always be done
in such cases. Therefore, declare!
the president, Il shall be obliged
hereafter in accordance va thu
policy stated in a recent message, tC
veto any water-power bill which does
not provide for a time limit and for
the right Of he president or Of the
secretary concerned to fix and col
lecC such a charge as lie may ind Z
be just and reasonable in each case.

BELOW FREEZING POINT.
Forecast Sends Mercury on Its
Downward Way,

The recent springlke conditions are to
receive a setback. according to Prof Gar
riott the official weather forecaster, as
he says the mercury in the thermometers
will drop to . degrees below the freezing
point by tomorrow morning. Reports from
the picturesque suburbs of Washington
yesterday were to the effect that the first
crocuses of the season bloomed in the
meadows and the occasional bluebird
piped his spring song. Tomorrow morn
ing there is said to be likelihood that
ice will form on the blooming crocuses
and the bluebird will whistle another
tune.
Prof. Garriott also said the rain clouds

The Commissioners announced today
that they intend to amend the police reg
ulations so as to REQUIRE the owners OF
theaters, places Of amusement and all
other public buildings 10 keep their sky
lights and fire escapes free from accumu-
lations of ice and snow. This amend nent
was recommended by William L. Belt,
chief of the fire department, as means
of providing better fire protection
In suggesting the amendment to the
Commissioners Chief Bet SAID that the
imnortance of keeping the fire escapes on
theaters free from the distractions re-
ferred to cannot be overestimated and
that it is equally important that the sky
lights be kept in similar condition SO
that their operation at all times may be
unhampered. Upon the suggestion OF the
corporation counsel, to whom the matter
was referred, section Ii of the police reg
uIations will be amended so as to apply to
the accumulation of snow and ice on sky.
