WANTS INSPECTORS
FOR PUBLIC WORK
Major Morrow Thinks Corporations
Should Pay for Supervision
of District.

That all underground construction
work OF the public service corporations
be subject to inspection by the District.
and that the cost Of such inspection be
betrayed by the several companies, the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, the Washingto Railway and
Electric Company, the Washington Gas
Light Company, the Western Union
Telegraph Company. the Postal Tele-
graph Company, and the Capital Trac-
tion Company, is the recommendation
made today by Engineer Commissioner
Morrow.
MaJo Morrow has recommended also
that the superintendent Of Sewers, the
superintendent CT the Water Depart
ment. hte Engineer of Highways. and
the Electrical Engineer be designated
as a board to design a systematic
method for the extension Of under
ground construction in the District. and
also as an advisory board for the pur-
pose of passing upon any questions
which may arise. The salaries of the
inspectors are to be paid by the public
service corporations desiring Permits
for underground construction, from de-
posts made in advance.
1t is probable that two inspectors will
be required 70 the working season, and
one for the remainder of the year. The
estimated cost is between s.. 200 and
8. 400 a year, TO be divided pro rata
among the several companies.

In the stock trading only fraC tional

PRODUCE PRICES

Business was again quiet in the pro-
duce market today. In fact, the first
two days of the week have been the
Quietest Of the month. The receipts
have been lighter than they were last
week, but the demand has also de-
creased. The result has been that
prices have declined but little in spite
OF the reduced demand The market
for livestock is especially dull Fruit
and vegetables are moving rapidly, but
the supply is more than adequate.
