RECORD FOR MARCH.
Work Of Board Of Condemnation of
InsanitarY Buildings.

The month of March was a particularly
busy and successful one for the District
board o. condemnation of insanitary
buildings, which, since its creation by
Congress two years ago. has been grad
ually wiping out many old. tumbled- down.
ramshackle and unsghtly and unhealthy
dwellings throughout the city.
According to Roy Haines inspector Of
insanitary buildings, thrty-two dwellings
were torn down because of condemnation
by the board during March. and since
the first of last January more than 100
have been removed. These buildings were
not confined to any one section, but were
scattered throughout the city. About 80
per cent of the houses were located in So
called alleys and courts
Mr.. Haines is of the opinion that the
average monthly removal of these insan-
itary and unsightly dwellings will in
crease from now on. Since January I, 300
notices have been served by the board on
owners of alleged insanitary buildings.
The board o. condemnation of insani-
tary buildings is composed of Capt Will
liam Kelly. assistant engineer commits
sioner: DR.. William c. Woodward health
officer, and Snowden Ashford building in
spec;or. They have condemned nearly
900 buildings since they commenced the
work.

amount of the District appropriation bill
nearly two millions. of dollars. adding that
much more from the Commissioners esti-

cially that they have increased the
amount for public school buildings and
grounds $1O02. 800 which. with the
amount granted by the House. will, if
finally appropriated. go long ways to-
ward bringing up the arrears Of over
two millions of dollars recommended by
years. but not appropriated by Congress
1T Is also very gratifying to see that
the Senate committee has provided spe-
cially for SO much OF the fire protection
Of public schools recommended by the
Commissioners. The larger provision for

valuable. and SO are other Increases. in

Within a quaint, sequestered spot,
met sage beside his cot
And he was bent with age, and hoar.
"Oh, sage" l said, Il seek the truth
The milestones thou hast passed since
youth
Must surely be three score and more.
Now tell me, patriarch,-and wise,
How may 1 strive to win the prize?
How shall 1 guide my craft to-day?
oh. tell me where the breakers beat
And where the adverse currents meet.
Ny sail is set! Which way?
Sand what o sage is worth the while
OF steering for through weary mile
Where tempests rage and fears unfold
When all the triumphs have been won,
When sunset comes and life is rum
All. what is dross and what is gold?"
The patriarch his head bowed low
And answered sadly, Live and know!
Each man must tread his road alone:
