From reports tonight it is be-
lieved the monetary damage will
reach close to s1,5OO,OO0.
The loss of life is appalling, while
the monetary loss cannot even be
estimated at this time. After a "a
hour period of excessively hot wealth.

letter to the Secretary of War express
ing the opinion that the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia have no legal
authority to erect a pound and stable

east, discusses in general terms several
points in dispute between the federal and
municipal authorities with regard to the
control of public spaces contiguous to
street parking.
From the Endorsement of the acting
chief of engineers" said the Attorney
General, 1.-The question presented to me
appears to be whether the authority re-
lied upon by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia is sufficient to au-
thorize them to use reservation No. 300
for a pound and stable.
The acts of Congress which have any
bearing upon the subject are follows:
Act of July, 1898. Section 1. The
jurisdiction and control of the street
parking in the streets and avenues of the
