He further states, that there have been Issued several orders for taking down con- demned buildings and the parties refuse to comply, while he 1s powerless to enforce them. He addi that the owners of such butldings should be f by the court to take down condemned buildings, and not the District, and at the same time the owner could have opportunity of being heard before the court previous to the execution of an order. He suggests that the matter be referred to the district attorney, with a request that he pro- pose such changes to the regulations as will remedy the existing defects in them. The matter isnow under consideration by the attorney and the Commisstoners. A LAMP-PO8T WANTED. The Commissioners were to-day in receipt of a communication from Mr. H. J.

These are strong words, Mr. Editor, but they are all too true. We have no one to speak one Word for us in this emer- gency. No public man, no great poMtical leader, would dream of championing our cause, however just, however earnestly appealing to the sense of Tairness, to the heart of every upright man. Will not, then, THe Star be our defender? Will not the great journal which has been to us a friend so many years exert its influence to save us from this wanton attempt to deprive us of employment and to compel us to become wanderers from our child- hood’s home, to break all family and social ties, and to go forth in search of bread? Surely we havea Fight to expect it Nearly two hundred dismissals already have been made, and the end, we hear, is not yet.

The drives in the Smithsonian grounds have been worse in that re- — during the past year or two than ever be- fore. Second. A few gutters judiciously laid, as for Instance on the upper side of the driveway in front of the Museum bullding, would be a great improvement, by preventing the water Irom run- ning from the terrace across the roadway.
