"It is estimated that there are in the
District Of Columbia 66.629 brick build
ings and 27.010 frame buildings. There
were 1857 brick buildings erected dur
ing the year and 332 frame buildings:
thirty brick buildings raZed and
1913 frame.
"It is worthy of note that during
April. May. June-the estimated cost
of building operations was, respec-
lively s2.112.231. $1.64S,609 and 81
7SO9S6, the largest amount estimated
for any previous month OF the hScal
year being S951,570 in August. This
is significant as showing the gam IN
building construction since the close or
the war and partial recovery from its
immediate after effects And this de-
spite the unprecedentedly high cost of
building materials, the difficulty and
uncertainty in the matter of delivery
and the unsettled condition of labor
and high wages demanded
Municipal Structures.
During the year seven municipal
buildings were under construction.
these being the fish wharf and market,

nue. between T and U streets, and head
house and sheds as wharf used by the
Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Com

While no appropriations were made
for the new school buildings during
the year, plans and specifications were
prepared for So improvements, and
$4,000 was appropriated for portable
school buildings, and 40 of the latter
were erected instead of permanent
Evening star., 1919-12-01

In an explanatory paragraph the re-
port said:
THE increased cost is largely az,
tributable to the higher wages paid
laborers and drivers, which advanced
from S1.75 and 81, respectively. in
July, 1917, to $2.SS and $500 in Octo-
Der. 1918. in addition to which addi-
tional compensation of $12O year
was allotted to each regular employe.

Garbage Collection.
Detailing the garbage collection
and disposal work and the ash col
lection, the report SAID:
"This was the first year the Dis
trict collected garbage directly and
operated the reduction plant. 1t was
found necessary to make material
replacements and betterments to the
plant and equipment turned over to
|lizer Company. Including the cost of
the plant purchased. the cost Of en-
tire garbage service from July l
1918. to June 80, 1919, was $495.-
491.51. but this is to be credited with
products sold to the amount OF $780,
0So.ob, hdhAh6 IHC ACI SoSl VI pIdhl
and operation for the year $265.162.54.
Garbage was collected regularly
during the year from 66,565 places,
as follows:
Private residences. &c, ,17S
Small apartments. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. S16
I.unchrooms and cafes. 403
Hotels and miscellaneous institutions.... 1877
ombination residences and stores. 968
STORES ........................ 2,ooo
The cost Of this garbage service
was considerably greater than when
done under contract. This is to be
accounted for by the scarcity and
high price Of labor during the past
year, as we'll as by the low price
received for the grease and tankage
produced from January 1 to June 30.
| "a small experiment was made, but
not concluded, during the fiscal year
in feeding garbage to hogs. Two hun
dred pigs averaging 100 pounds in
| weight were purchased and estab-
| lished on the District farm at Blue
Plains. It has been demonstrated that
at the present price Of pork garbage
may be disposed OF proftably by this
| means.
h. Ashes and Refuse.
"The service rendered by the con-
tractors for the ask and refuse COL

shortage of labor and the increased
cost of both labor and material.

long enough to cover the entire blouse
of course; but suit coats this season
are practically all quite long. Thirty
