REFORM SCHOOL PLANS
NOT lob FOR ASHFORD
Controller TraceWeII Holds
Municipal Architect Not
Required to Act.

Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford
will not be called upon to prepare plans
for the additional building and heating
plant of the Reform School for Girls. as
the result of a decision by Controller of
the Treasury Tracewell.
Mr. Tracewell, in a lengthy communica-
ton to the District Commissioners. made
public today, holds that the Reform
School for Girls is United States govern
ment property, and that, therefore, any
plans for additions to the school are not
required to be prepared by or under the
supervision of the municipal architect.
The question is the outgroWth of the
District auditor having been asked to ad-
vance $500 provided for in the appropria-
ton for plans and specifications to the
trustees of the school. The District held
that the plans should be prepared by or
under the supervision of the municipal
architect.
Tracewell Quotes Law.
The Commissioners requested Controller
Tracewell for an opinion. After quoting
sections of the act providing for the in
corporation of the board of trustees Of the
Reform School for Girls, Mr.. Traceweli
concludes:
From the foregoing enactments it ap-
pears that the Reform School for Girls
is government property, the title being
vested in the board of trustees. who holi
same in trust for the United States.
1.-The plans and specifications for any
contemplated additions to the buildings Of
the said Reform School for Girls are,
therefore, not for municipal buildings
within the meaning of the term as used
in the clause defining the duties of the
municipal architect, and are not required
to be prepared by him or under his super
vision.
The board of trustees, the controller
declares. under it's authority, may con-
tract for the plans and specifications.

C|TY'S STREETS CLEAN
AT SAVING OF MONEY
Economies Declared to Amply
Justify District in Doing
Its Own Work.

The plan of the District to clean it's
own streets. which has been in operation
less than two months. was officially pro-
nounced a success today by Capt. Mark
Brooke assistant engineer commissioner.
The plan went into effect July 1. Capt.
Brooke said that the thoroughfares of
the capital ar cleaner than they have
been in years, and that this condition has
been brought about at a reduced cost.
According to the assistant engineer
commissioner the District already is saw
ing the profit that was paid out formerly
under the contract system.
May Enlarge Scope.
1t is said upon high authority that the
Commissioners will consider enlarg1ng
the plan so that the District will collect
its own garbage, ashes and miscellaneous
refuse. rather than provide for this work
by the contract system.
Supt. J. w. Paxton of the street clean
ing department Is out OF the city, but 1t
is expected that he will submit his an
nual report to the Commissioners shortly
after his return, probably next month.
It is believed that Mr.. Paxton will recon-
mend that the contract system Tor col
lecting garbage ashes and other refuse
be abandoned.
Savings Justify Plan.
Just how much the District is saving
by cleaning it's own streets has not been
figured out. but the amount. 1t Is said,
will more than justify the system having
been installed.
Out of an appropriation of S26O,OOO Tor
the street cleaning department, practi-
cally $4,000 has been spent for equip
ment, which included the purchase OF
wagons and horses.
Capt. BROOKE today said that several
horses died during the hot weather IN
July. but that, notwithstanding the handi-
cap of this loss the amount saved to the
District has exceeded expectations.
