prevent accidents. He recommends that
the, salaries of the assistants in question
be increased from $1,000 to 81 400.
Regarding the fire escape law which
went into effect more than Two years ago
the inspector OF buildings reports slow
progress. He says there are $4,000 build
ingS that must be examined to ascertain
whether they come within the law, ana
as there is only one inspector to do the
work and at the present rate of progress
being made by him the building inspector
predicts that II will take four years or
more to cover the buildings within the
scope of the law unless more fire escape
inspectors are provided

tors in the District will not be corrected.
the building inspector reports. until the
engineers and operators are required TO
pass examination and obtain licenses.
Reporting upon the height of buildings,
the inspector says: Il beg to call at
tention to the practical results of the
amendments made year before last to the
law relating to the height of buildings.
The law a. originally drafted placed the
limit of height on residence streets for
tireproof buildings at 30 feet but Con-
gress reduced the height to so feet for
ffreproof buildings and left the height
for combustible buildings at TO feet. The
former height Will not allow more than
seven stories in fireproof construction.
while the latter height will admit of five
stories in combustible construction. Con-
sequently a type of building has resulted
consisting of brick outer walls only, with
an enormous area subdivided by stud and
lath partitions only, and no interior walls.
|. therefore, recommend that Congress be
petitioned to allow 43 feet for freproof
buildings on residence streets, or reduce
the height of combustible buildings to ~
feet The committee recommends some
change of this kind
The inspector submits the detailed re-
ports of the computers, assistant inspect
ors, elevator inspectors. inspectors OF
steam boilers. and the superintendent OF
repairs. and pays the following tribute to
the employees in the building department:
THE men in the office have worked
earnestly and conscentously with reaii-
cation of the responsibilities placed upon
them. and the clerical force give their
services after the usual office hours in
order to keep up the clerical work from
day to day. and, notwithstanding these
efforts. the work is slightly behind. with
little prospect of completion before the
winter months. when the building business
is not so brisk. The clerical services re-
quired are of such a nature that 1 deem

the white schools there are LOST more
pupils this year than last year. The in
crease in the colored schools is not known
as the school officials say last years fig
ures are not now available.
The school army is hard at work. In
stead of reading Bathing Suits for Rent"
many pupils are perusing "Horatio at the
Bridge" Instead of figuring how many
35-cent tennis balls they can buy for 81
cents the boys and girls are now delving
in fractions and d.scovering-or trying to
discover-the value of and y in equa-
tons that look like the alphabet hashed.
School authorities say that the teach
ers have plunged into the work with a
vim and the courses of study are well
under way.

pany comply with the requirement of
state law? and this was all that Attorney
General West tried to bring about. He
did not pretend that he would prevent
the building of the line if the company
complied with the state law.
Gov. Haskell, 1 am told under good
authority. attempted to have Attorney
General West withdraw the suit. and thus
allow the pipe line building without COM
piance with the state law. He refused
to do SO.
"Thereupon. as am informed. and have
not seen it denied. Gov. Haskell obtained
from the supreme court of the state
writ of prohibition against the attorney
general and the lower court to prevent the
carrying out of the injunction obtained.
Thus you will see the President claim
against Gov. Haskell is that he acted di-
rectly against the laws of Oklahoma to
help out this company. whereas the truth
concerning the Department of the In
terror is that 1t acted directly under and
