ANNOYED BY NOISE OF PLAY.
Complaint Regarding Wallach and
Eastern High Schools.

Declaring that the peace and quiet of
the residents along Sth street northeast
are disturbed by the children on the play
ground on the east side of the Wallach
and Eastern High schools, John Beron of
332 8th street southeast has asked the
District Commissioners to have the play
ground transferred to the west side of
the schools.
II take this occasion to enter my pro-
test against the continuance of the play
ground apparatus upon the east side of the
Wallach and Eastern High schools lots.
he says in letter. My residence, with
many other citizens, is just across Sth
by the large and small children to the
number of several hundred, the peace and
quiet of the summer evenings upon our
fronts is marred to fearful extent.
My suggestion is that the apparatus
be removed to the 1th street side, where
there is more ROOM and. besides. that
street is one of business whereas Stn
street is one of residence. There will
shortly be in operation an electric rail
road upon this Sth street, which will
contribute to the danger of the children,
whereas 1th street is without a railroad.
Ever since the erection of these play
things this disturbance and nuisance
commences with the summer and cOntfn-
ueS through the most trying times of hot
weather when people are most in need of
repose.
The letter will be referred to the board
of education, which has charge of the
school Fairgrounds.

HERRING CATCH SMALL.
Bad Weather Interferes With Nets.
Cargoes Expected Today.

In consequence Of the falling of in the
receipts Of herring from the nets in the
Potomac during the last two or three
days prices for the fish have steadily ad-
vanced and yesterday morning they sold
as high as 81 per hundred. figure they
have not brought for several weeks. The
shortage is largely due to the bad wealth
er conditions. which have kept the fisher
men from working their nets. and also
to the fact that the cooler weather has
made the fish scarce. The supply Of shad
on sale at the wharf market yesterday
and this morning was fairly good, the
nets in the lower part of Chesapeake
bay having sent quite a number to this
market. The demand for the fish Us eX-
cellent and prices are low.
The dealers are looking for a big in
crease in the receipts of herring when
the run boats coming from the nets In
the lower river arrive at the wharf this
afternoon. No fish were cut yesterday
and none will be until they become much
more plentiful
