selves with such success the few times
they have appeared that they are now
much in demand as speakers
Engineer Commissioner Kutz was a
recent visitor at the Home for the Aged
and 1nfirm at Blue Plains. The head
of the District engineer department
was much impressed with the work
that has been done at this institution
by w. j. Fay, superintendent. BY US
ing old materials Mr.. Fay has been
able to construct several buildings for
which no appropriations were made by
Congress. His ingenuity in this di-
rection has resulted in saving the Dis
trict several thousands of dollars.
The three Commissioners inspected
the farmers produce shelter stand on
B street between 10th and 18th streets

to the farmers produce market was
provided at cost of $4,000.
