Mr.. Hayball himself had been badly
burned. He had started to clean his
car preparatory to ten day trip
over the state and had employed gas
oline to take off some Of the spots on
the engine. A small quantity of gaso-
line had been poured on the engine.
and it was then started. The engine
at once started the gas and in an eff.
fort to put out the flames a.apart bot
tie of gasoline setting near by was
tipped over onto Mr.. Hayball's leg
and while trying to put out the flames
his leg and arms were badly burned.
For time 1t looked very serious as
a twenty gallon tank of the gas was
not far distant. AS 1t was, however,
the only damage done was the burns
sustained by Mr.. Hayball and 1t will
take several days for the blisters to
heal on his leg and Srms.

Alley Law Works Injustice.

The annual report of the committee
on street and avenues, William G. Hen
derson, chairman, states that while the
purpose and spirit of the law of Sep
tember 25. 1914, for the discontinuance
Of the use Of buildings in alleys as
dwellings is as a whole commendable
nevertheless some Of its provisions will
work injustice in placing the entire
burden on the owners of alley prop
critics. with no obligation on the part
of the District to provide the munich
pal improvements, such as sewers and
water mains or on the public utility
companies for the gas mains and cleo
trio cable conduits. without which the
owners of alley properties cannot meet
the requirements of the law.
The committee recommends the fol-
lowing:
Legislation conferring upon the
Commissioners power to determine
when a street or designated portion
thereof shall be used exclusively for
residential purposes; that the present
law for the condemnation of streets,
amended so as to provide either that
no benefits shall be assessed for
Strengthening. opening, widening or ex-
tending them until after the improve
ment has been completed and the way
opened. or else that no benefit shall
become payable until after the i'm
provement has been completed and the
way opened; that the Commissioners
be requested to institute condemnation
proceedings to acquire the necessary
land for opening a street connecting
cast section of the District at or about

able them to prevent the marring of
the beauty of such bridges by inap-
propriate improvement. Effort on the
