BUILDERS OPPOSE REGULATION
WAGONS CANNOT HELP TRACK
ING DIRT, THEY SAY.
Arrest for Muddying Streets After
Travelling Unimproved Alleys
Will Impede Operations.

Serious interference with building oper-
ations in the District is threatened by
enforcement of a new police regulation
regarding the dropping of dirt from was-
ons on asphalt or macadam streets. in
the opinion of the New Washington Brick
Company expressed in a letter to the
District Commissioners.
The letter asks that the new regulation
be considered at public hearing. The
request has been granted. The date for
the discussion will shortly be fixed by
DIR. William Tindall. secretary TO the
board of Commissioners.
My attention was called today to a
police regulation which. if enforced. will
seriously interfere with building opera
tions in the District of Columbia" writes
T. L. Holbrook, president of the brick
company.
Il am advised by officers of the police
force that under the regulations teams
delivering brick, lumber, sand, gravel or
other building material which are
obliged 10 use unimproved streets or un-
improved alleys and deliver their loads
off the street where buildings are being
constructed. are liable to arrest If mud
is carried by their wheels onto macadam
or asphalt streets.
The various subcontra ctors, who NAV
SEND only few loads of material to a
building, cannot send a man along to
clean up the streets. Contractors erect
ing buildings, who order material of
various kinds delivered at the site of
such buildings, refuse to do it.
L respectfully appeal for a reconsid-
Grafton of this regulation and ask that a
hearing be given the material men who
are forced to use unimproved streets and
alleys and deliver their material on pri-
vate property
Regarding the new regulation, Capt Z.
NJ Markham. assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner in charge of highways.
says:
The purpose of the regulation in ques-
ton is to prevent serious damage to ma
cadam roadways, by the dropping of clay
thereon. especially from the teaming in
cident to large excavation operations 1t
is recognized that conditions of minor i'm
port, such as cited by the writer. may
arise concerning which it is to be ex-
pected that the police department will use
proper discretion"
