The commissioners of the District of Columbia have recommended to congress to change the inauguration day of the president and vice presi- dent from March the fourth to the last Thursday in April, the day on which Washington was inaugurated. The serious illness and death of many of those who have attended the inau- guration on the fourth of March, in cluding senators and other eminent men as well as representatives of for eign countries, has called attention to the danger to all of the many thousands ot persons from the severe weather peculiar to the fourth of March. The governors of many states, as well as many representative men, have approved the proposition for q change of date. while the press of the country has almost universally commented in favor of the change.

The street cleaning department of Magdeburg has recently made sue cessful experiments with a new sand strewing wagon constructed by Her mann Fricke of that German city. The wagon spreads rapidly an even layer of sand on the streets which, in the case of asphalt paving, is of great benefit, in that it minimizes the slip ping of the horses when the streets are either extremely wet or frozen, This has heretofore been done in German cities exclusively by hand. The apparatus is worked by the driv- CT and can be adjusted to strew a lay CT of sand or gravel from 20 to 50 feet wide The new machine has been taken over by the city. Waterbury could use one of these machines.
