BAD NEIGHBORS MUST MOVE
PLACES NEAR MUNICIPAL
BUILDING TO BE CLOSED.
Abiding Place for Disreputable
Houses in Future to Be
Determined.

The process of wedding out disreputa BILE
| houses from the vicinity of the new
Municipal building, which was begun
about two years ago. will be continued by
the police until the District Commission
ers are satisfied with conditions.
| Maj. Sylvester has conveyed to the
Commissioners the information furnished
him by Capt. Williams of the first pre-
| cinct as to the number of houses in the
locality affected. Commissioner West said
| this morning no wholesale crusade in the
dsreputable section of the city is planned.
Some houses will have to close. he de-
clared. mentioning eleven places in 1872
| street and one in d street The d street
| house is directly in the rear of the new
! home Of the District employees and is oc-
| cupied by colored people. Eight of the
eleven 1879 street houses are also occupied
by colored people
No Vice Crusade Now.
ut is only question of time before all
disreputable houses in the section directly
south of Pennsylvania avenue will be
closed Commissioner West said. but
there will be no wholesale vice crusade
at this time
Commissioner West said the police had
adopted the plan of not permitting houses
poses after they had been vacated. a
policy adopted about the time work on the
new District building was begun. The
result is that there are some vacant
houses along that thoroughfare. The
same rule. he stated. is now to apply to
the houses along D street.
1t is pointed out that patrons of the
Alexandria and Mount Vernon electric
line are subjected to Objectionable sights
while leaving and returning to the city.
1t is the desire of the authorities to rid
the two streets of the nuisances.
In conversation with a Star reporter
this morning Commissioner. West said
complaints had been made about gangs
street. He thought it would be a good
thing to clean out the houses on both
streets.
His idea is that those who are COM
pelleo to vacate the houses will find other
available property in the same section.
If they move to other sections, Mr.. West
stated. the police will keep tab on them
and prevent them from conducting similar
business.
Mr. West said he thought it much better
to keep such houses segregated than to
have them scattered all over the city.
Location Not Determined.
Regarding what keepers of disreputable
houses will do when driven from the
present locality. Mr.. West said some
thought had been given to the question.
but just where they are to go, he said,
had not been determined.
Capt. Williams reported to Maj. Sylves-
ter that there were thirty-eight disrepu-
table houses along D and 1872 streets.
There are several vacant houses which,
he says, he refused to permit to be re-
opened for such purposes. Under the or
der of the Commissioners twelve of the
houses are to be closed Immediately.
The question of closing all such houses
in that locality will be discussed some
time in the future.

VIEWS ON FOUNTAINS
CAPT. KELLY WANTS TO PRO-
VIDE WATER FOR THIRSTY.

Drinking fountains are to be installed
in the streets and avenues of this city
Steps are being taken to obtain assist
ance from the Washington Society OF
Architects in the preparation of a suit
able design. AS soon as this is decided
on it is the intention to install the foun-
tans as rapidly as the funds Of the water
department will permit.
In a recent letter to the Commissioners
asking for information upon which to
base an estimate of the cost Zed H.
Copp and George L. Chandler say that
it is proposed to ask the churches Of the
District to provide such fountains upon
their premises, easily accessible to pass
ers-by.
Views Of Capt. Kelly.
In reply Capt. William Kelly, assistant
engineer commissioner, says the question
of installing drinking fountains has been
under consideration for a long time.
The matter has been delayed, he says.
by the desire to obtain a fountain that
would be suitable from both an artistic
and unitarian point of view.
1.-The purpose of the writer's" Capt.
Kelly remarks. lis an exceedingly worthy
one and should be encouraged. l believe
that for the sake of uniformity all the
fountains should be installed and main
tanned by the water department and any
assistance in the matter would be gladly
received"
The proposition has received the ap-
prevail of the Commissioners.
