Snow Removal Law
10 Be Sought for D. {.

Congress will be asked, at the
coming session, to enact an alright
snow removal law, whereby land
lords or tenants Of property will be
required to remove the snow from
sidewalks in front of their houses.
This was the decision reached yes
terday afternoon at the first fall
meeting Of the Commissioners Com
mittee on Cleanliness and Santa
ton, headed by William A. Xanten,
District superintendent OF SANTA
ton.
Washington once had a snow re-
moval law. 1t was explained, but the
courts said 1t could not be enforced
because the sidewalks were deemed
the property of the city.
In other actions, the committee
announced another effort will be
made this fall to rid Washington OF
staslings. A new type of irritant
powder, which is four times more
effective than DDT, has been rec
commended for use this season.
The group discussed the promise
of Health Department assistance in
eliminating the practice among
householders of putting garbage in
the street-cleaning trash cans, some
times to overflow.
A report to the committee on the
summer cleanup campaign showed
an improvement in conditions in
alleys and back yards. The report
covered territory in the second, fifth,
sixth, seventh. eighth, ninth and
tenth precincts. The cleanup is
continuing In the eleventh and
twelfth precincts.

Burned; Mo Insurance

Fire which started from an un-
known source completely destroyed
the barn Of E. w. Waldrop of Beulah

around 8 o'clock. An estimated 81
10000 worth Of feedstuff, fertilizer
and equipment, including the barn,
was destroyed within a short time
The loss was not covered by insur-
ance
Mrs. Waldrop first noticed the fire
shortly before seven o'clock after the
family had just finished supper. AT
the time Of discovery, seen through
a window Of the house, the blaze
covered the barn. Apparently, the
flames had begun from inside toward
the back, because it was this section
that burned fastest, Mrs. Waldrop
said.
Livestock Saved
Mr.. and Mrs. Waldrop, seeing the
flames, rushed to the barn in time
to open the doors for livestock which
was in the barn. Two mules were

shortly before the inside of the barn
caved in, it was said.
Among named losses were three
tons of fertilizer, a quantity Of hay,
800 pounds of peas, approximately
60 bushels of corn, and IA bushels
of cottonseed. The brood mare was
seriously burned. E

MRS. Waldrop said that a large
number of persons gathered around
the flames within 80 or 40 minutes,
but that at the time of discovery,
the fire was too far gone to extin-
guish and that firemen could not
have saved the barn. She said the
had no idea how the fire started un-
less from a dropped match. A ton OF
nitrate of soda which was in the
barn exploded during the burning.
A large number of plowtools were
destroyed, though the wagon was
pulled out after the livestock were
released.
The fire quickly effected the total
damages, lasting in all less than two
hours. Neighbors have made some
donations to the family.
