(Continued From First Pagn)

1 availed themselves Of their right to call in the inspector for informa- , ton.
 The department has now but one building inspector and has had no | full lime deputy for more than q year. Prior to that time we had two inspectors for a period of more than q year. Yet there has not been the appreciable drop in construction that would warrant cutting the force in half. Tn the early months oF the cur rent year II was realized that in spections were piling up in great numbers, but 1t was forecast that a the department might be restored 10 normality. Contrary to this general belief the trade has continued to be active following. if anything, an up- ward trend.
 The common council, no doubt, will be interested 10 know that the department is practically self-sup- porting and will continue to be so for several months at least even fl an additional inspector is employed. Since the opening Of this fiscal year on April l, we have issued 7l9 per mits for building work estimated to cost sl,983,427. Our fees have been S5,973,50 for this period.
 "To meet this extra ordinary con- dit!on it is the recommendation Of the building commission that we be empowered 10 engage q deputy building inspector for 2. period Of three months, and that q report be presented 10 the common counci! at the termination of that period. To that end we recommend adoption of the following:

 Resolved: That the building com mission be and hereby is authorized to engage 2 deputy building iuspec- tor 'or q period Of three months and that q report or the condition Of building inspection be submitted 10 the common council 2. the Decem- her meeting.

NOyAEs-BORI RECITAL.

Guiomar Novaes. Brazilian pianistS
established Washington record for
enthusiastic response from a morning
musical audience in her debut recital
under the auspices of Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend, at the Mayf1ower Hotel yes
terday. Nine. Novaes' reputation as
a much-appreciated artist in New York
preceded her, and her playing more
than verified reports. She has the
ability to make the piano sound like
harp in the Gluck-Saint Saens LES
Airs de Ballet" from "Alceste," to
give dreamy guitarlike notes to
Niemann's Might in Sevilla," to in
fuse pulsing life into Albeniz' Tango
and give the dash and color of de
Falla's "Andaluza" with unerring SYM
pathy to the modernistic composition.
Also of the ultra-modern school was
her one encore, "Jeune File au Jar
din," by Mompou, one of the members
of the younger Spanish school OF
music. The wit that came through
in this sketch and also in the 'Poli-
chinelle" of Lobos was amazingly
portrayed by this pianist. Nine. No
vaes has such admirable technique
that nobody notices II at all. Her
touch is full of individual magic and
her interpretations are Of the kind
that only the greatest pianists COM
mand. Out of the Latin element.
which proved the dominant quality of
the morning, but equally fascinatingly
interpreted, were the "Serenatta" of
Richard Strauss and Godowski's
arrangement Of Johann Strauss
"Fledermaus."
Sharing the program with Nine. No
vaes and welcomed warmly as favor
lite artist who is too rarely heard in
Washington was LucreZia Bori-Bori,
the singer who makes q complete
beauty of each word she sings. The
two arfas from the Marriage of
Figaro" by Mozart, were charmingly
done; the old Italian songs of Pergo-
lesi and Scarlatti were exquisite, but
it was in the Spanish group-"Tus
Ojillos Negroes" by de Falla; Serrano's'
"Marinella," and, most of all, the
Spanish folk song, "Seguidella"-that
Nine. Bori was most appreciated. She
had an able accompanist in Frederick
Bristol, and when, in the encore, the
familiar "Clavelitos," his music slipped
on the rack, he caught the seconds
change in this swiftly sung song ex-
cellently. There are few singers who
can sing these Latin songs in a fash
ion that gives understanding with an
American audience. Mime. Bori has
that ability. known primarily as an
operate singer, when she deigns to
come to the concert stage she does so
