INSANITARY PLACES
ARB INVESTIGATED
Health ONCE Receives the Largest
Number of Complaints
in Years.

Washington is waking TO a realization
Of the insanitary conditions existing in
many sections OF the city. During 1.-The
past week $50 complaints concerning In
sanitary premises were received at the
health ofice. This Is the largest number
received within several years.
Most OF the complaints are respecting
unclean sheds, back yards. stables. and
private alleys. For the purpose OF bet
tering health conditions. the city is
divided into eight sanitary districts, one
inspector being assigned TO each district.
Deplorable health conditions have been
revealed as the result Of an Investigation
Of the Georgetown sections ofhcially
known as statistical district No. 40,
bounded by NJ street. Rock Greek, the
Potomac River. and Thirty-sixth street.
In this district, which has population
of 4e6 families, 4l4 instances Of insani-
tary conditions were discovered. The In
vestigation was made under the direction
Of Dr. E. c. Stoy, who submitted re-
port to District Health officer Woodward
yesterday.
rThe larger part Of the dwellings in
this district" reads the report. are o:
the old type. or two stories and attic.
with poor ventilation and light and
thirty-six buildings believed to be unit
for human habitation were referred to
the board of condemnation. Several OF
the tenement houses were basement
houses. and In such houses there were
found quite a large amount Of dampness
due to the proximity OF the canal, which
runs through the center Of this district.
The district was found to be In an In
sanitary condition as q whole.
"I find in this district, as did in the
Twelfth district, that there seems to be
a lack of attention on the part Of the
owners of property, which is rented TO
the poorer class of people, to place such
property in a sanitary condition and
maintain II so. The owners Of property,
particularly in this district, do nothing
more than they are compelled to to en-
courage the occupants of their housesI
to maintain them in clean and whole
some condition"

MUNICIPAL COURT
CHANGE OPPOSED
Commissioners Report Adversely on
Bill to Increase Jurisdic-
ton Of Tribunal.

Stating that at present sentiment In
the business community is not sufficient
Iy strong to justify a favorable report,
the District Commissioners yesterday
submitted to Senator ]. H. Gallinger,
chairman Of the Senate District Commit
tee, an adverse report on the bill pro-
vidIng for the Reorganization OF the
Municipal Court with a view to increas-
ing the jurisdiction of the tribunal The
bill also provides for a common-law
trial by Jury in the court, and for the
regulation Of the appeal from the Judg-
ment of the tribunal
The District Bar Association. at a
meeting on March L. the Commissioners
state, decided to oppose the bill At the
meeting a committee was appointed TO
meet the District Supreme Court and
urge that hearing on appeals from the
Municipal Court be expedited.
THE Supreme Court OF the District,
through its chief justice" reads the re-
port OF the Commissioners. stated that
that court saw no objection to the gen.
eral scheme of the bill. The chief JUS
tice OF the Court OF Appeals of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. while declining to ad-
wise the Commissioners In respect to the
bill. suggested that IL the purpose Of the
bill be to relieve congestion in the trial
courts, Il would be well to consider
whether the object cannot be accom-
plished by increasing the membership Of
the Supreme Court Of the District Of Co
lumbia. .. r-. ..-..-
THE Commissioners have the honor
to state with respect to the bill that
they do not find any sentiment in the busi-
ness community sufficiently strong at
present TO justify them in making ia
vorabie report on the measure"
