PORTABLE SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Engineer Commissioner Explains
Certain Objections Advanced.

In speaking of the statement made by
the building inspector to the effect that
portable school buildings, of which fif-
teen have recently been erected in this
city. are a menace to the main school
buildings in case Of fire, Engineer Com
missioner Morrow said that while
the portable buildings are as safe as any
frame building can be, it IS thought ad-
visable to have them removed as far as
possible from the main school buildings.
He explained that it was on this ac-
count that he disapproved of the request
made by the board of education to have
the portable buildings connected with the
main buildings by means of some kind
of a covered passageway. The Commits
sioner said that in ST. Louis. Chicago,
Louisville and a number of the other cit
les, where these portable schools are
commonly used, they are not connected
with the main school buildings.
Although they are absolutely safe by
themselves, the fact of their being frame
would increase the risk of fire If they
were damned upalongside of the ordi-
nary school buildings" Commissioner
Morrow said

saw the fire engines hurrying westward
along Pennsylvania avenue yesterday. and
his desire 10 follow the fast horses and

HOME FOR AGED AND INflRM
SUPT. FAY'S ANNUAL REPORT
TO THE COMMISSIONERS
252 Inmates Cared for During the
Fiscal Year-Urgent Appeal for
Increased Appropriation.

According to the annual report made
to the Commissioners yesterday, William
j. Fay, superintendent of the Home for
the Aged and Infirm, that institution was
filled to its capacity lat all times during
the fiscal year that ended June 30 last
There were 80 inmates being cared for
there at the close of the year. of whom
100 were white persons and the remainder
colored. On no day during the year were
there less than 1877 inmates in the home.
Because of the increasing demands be-
ing made on this institution and the
steadily increasing population of the Dis
trict. Supt. Fay is anxious for the Com
missioners to provide him with an appro-
priation of $4,000 to maintain this public
institution during the fiscal year to COM
mence July next. For the present year
he has $4,000 at his disposal, but this
sum is insufficient to meet the demands
He also wants a separate appropriation oil
$500. with which to duplicate the wa
ter supply, which duplication would prove
one of the greatest benefits to the insti-
tuition, he says.
Located at Blue Plains.
This institution is located at Blue Plains,
d. c., and is In the center of tract of
80 acres of land owned by the District
government Considerable of this land is
said to be fertile and exceptionally good
for farming and produce purposes. Supt.
Fay is working hard to make the farm
department of the home a success, and
in his report he said within the next year
he hopes to have the farm producing
sufficient produce to supply the demands
of the home and enough left over to
sell in the open market.
To improve the farm Supt. Fay wants
more liberal appropriation, in order to
provide fertilizer and employ the neces-
sary labor. A full line of table vegetables
and farm crops were grown during the
past year, and. according to Mr.. Fay. If
they had been sold in the market they
would have brought total of s.. 36S

frage in the District, please remind your
readers that there are women citizens
as well as men citizens in the District of

part in the campaign. He did some stall

Mr.. Gompers was proceeding in a manner
that would certainly bring discussions
and probably disaster to the labor move
