SWITCHES AND SID! f-TRACKS. Views of the Engineer Commissioner of the District. HIS REVIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION OF DWYER AND PARKER IN REFERENCE TO THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC PRIVILEGES IN SOUTH WASHING- TON—THE LEGAL QUESTIONS INVOLVED. The communication of Messrs. Dwyer and Parker, complaining of the various switche: side-tracks, &c., of the Baltimore and Potot railroad company in South Washington, and upon which Capt. Symons some days since re- ported, was handed in to the Commissioners to-day, with a memorandum containing the views of the engincer Commissioner relating to to the subject-matter, REVIEW OF THE VARIOUS PERMITS, That officer states thatthe tracks leading into squares 300 and 270, being the Johnson and Willis’ switches, were ordered removed on the lth of April. Referring to the permit granted to Bar! & Ross for siding on reservation No. 7, that the Commissioners have no authority over public reservations, In relation to the occupancy of Maryland ave- nue, from 6th street westward to the junction of Maryland and Virginia avenues southwest, and of the siding leading into square 695, he suggests that this case be referred to the attor- ney of the District for opinion as to the legality of the tracks in question, Referring to the switch of the Adams express company, on Virginia avenue and 6th strect; the Portner siding, the Palmer siding, the Berguer & Engel siding, the siding leading into the Washington flour and feed company’s property, and the siding of the St. Louis brewing company; the engineer officer states that in accordance with the opinion of the a’ torney these tracks are supposed to be lege except that the permits arc issued to private partics, as has been done heretofore in nearly ail cases, In the case of Bergner & Engel the permit was revoked. anda new permit issued to the railroad company to maintain the switch, This action was based upon the advice of the and should be foliowed in all the cases herein mentioned, The enincer officer also says that according to the opinion of the attorney the siding of the railroad company leading into square 267. situated at Lith street and Maryland avenue, and the siding leading into square 493, their new freight depot, located at 6th street and Virginia avenue; the Marlow siding leading into square north of square 642, and the Barber & Ross siding, leading into square 737, are believed to be illegal, but could be made legal by a slight change of location and by the issuing of proper permits therefor to the railrowd company. The siding leading into T. J. Shyrock’s lum- ber yard and also the siding leading into John Miller's coal yard, square north of 697, he says, he believes to be illegal. THE DUTY OF THE COMMISSIONERS, He further remarks that, assuming that these illegal tracks are not injurious to the public, the question is whether it is the duty of the board to take any action in reference to them. In the case of the H-street tracks, recently re- moved, the permit was issued by the present board, and it was his opinion that the board having inadvertently issued an illegal permit it was its duty to revoke that permit when its illega.ity ascertained. In none of the cases now referred to were permits issued by the present board, and it has been urged that under these circumstances it is not the duty ot the present board to investigate the question of their legality, but that matter should be left to the decision of the courts. In every case, he says, when the permit is re- yocable at the pleasure of the Commissioners, it seems that the board is responsible for its illegal existence; that seems to be the case in reference to the permits granted to John Miller and to Barber & Ross, ‘The question being a legal one, he further re- marks, “I do not consider it my duty to decide it,” and submits the whole matter for the opinion of the board, saying until this question is decided he can make no recommendations with regard to these tracks. —— Anmy Orricers Derartep ror Duty at Cor- LEGEs.—The Secretary of War has ordered a board of officers to consist of Maj. Jos. P. Sanger, inspector general; Capt. Chester, third artillery, and Lieut. Jos, M. Carliff, third artil- lery, to meet at Columbus barracks, Ohio, June 17, to consider the practicability of ‘prescribin, a uniform system of rules, regulations, an courses of study for the guidance of officers detailed as professors of military science and tactics at colleges and universities, In case it is decided best to preseribe such a system, the board will formulate such rules and regulations as will, in their opinion, lead to the best re- sults, and secure practical uniformity in the amount and character of the military instruc- tion at the several universities having details from the army.

Sr. Pavr, Mryy., April 26.—A special to the Pioneer Press from West Superior, Wis., says: The St. Paul and Pacific coal company has posted a card notifying coal-heavers that the | price for working in the hold this season will be 40 cents an hour instead of 50, the ruling price of previous seasons, It is understood that all of the other companies represented here have organized to establish this figure. The coal-heavers are excited and refuse to accept the new price for their labor. Dodgers have been scattered requesting all coal-heavers and their sympathizers to stay away from the docks. A meeting of an order composed of coal-heavers was held last night, and it is understood that they determined to stand out for the old price at all hazards, The propeller Egyptian, at the St. Paul and Pacific dock, is the only vessel here with coal at present, Trouble is antici- pated to-day, as the coal companies are de- termined to stand by their proposed reduction, while the coal-heavers are equally determined to re-establish the old rate. ——_——___ OUR RELATIONS WITH CANADA.
