SHOULD NEIGHBoRs CoNsENTp
Question Arises Upon Application
Under Building Regulations.

lis the written consent of adjoining
property owners necessary to secure d
building permit for the rebuilding of a
stable partially destroyed by fire, such
consents being necessary in case of d
new stable?'
That is the question which will be sub
mitted by the Commissioners to Corpo-
ration Counsel +. II. Thomas. 1t has
come up AS the result of a protest filed
against the issuance of permit for a
stable in the rear of 1724-32 street
northwest.
This stable was partially DESTROYED by
fire in June, 1901 Acting Engineer Com
missioner Kelly has said to the Com
missioners. application for its repair
was made within "a very short time
thereafter, but the plans were not in ac-
cordance with the building regulations,
and d permit was refused on them The
stable has not been used since the time
of the fire. The application for it's re-
pair has been more o. less continuously
under consideration by the building de-
partment, and finally plans were SUBJ
mitted which were entirely in accord.
ance with the building regulations.
The question at issue is whether or
not the stable, having been out of use
for period of over two years. can be
repaired under the building regulations
without obtaining the consent of the
requisite number of adjoining property
owners.

FISH ARE BASHFUL.
Aren't Filling Nets With the Usual
Readiness

The summer fishing season along the
Potomac. it is reported. has been very
poor one, the fishermen operating nets
along the river only making good catches
at infrequent intervals. There are two or
three vessels from this city at points
down the river engaging in summer fish,
Ing and the catch of their nets, amount
ing to six or eight barrels of rock spot
perch. carp, catfish and trout daily, is
sent to the market here.
The trap net fishermen, of whom there
are fifteen or twenty operating along the
river. are sending the bulk of their catch
by express to Philadelphia and New York.
where. 1t is asserted, they obtain better
prices than can be obtained In the local
market. Weather conditions are said to
be very favorable for the fishing this
summer, but either the fish are not in the
river or they have become wise and know
how to avoid the nets.
