The Commissioners of the District of Columbia: Gentlemen: I have bofore me a copy of the specifications for removing garbage and dead animals from the city of Washington and its immedinte suburbs during the unexpired por- tion of the current fiscal year. Tinfer that theso specifications are author- ized by the District Commissioners, though so far as tho document itself is concerned it con- tains nothing tu show that it is authorized by any one, as it bears no dato and is signed by no one. A forfeit of $1,000 is required. to be deposited with each bid, but the requirement does not say where or with whom the money is to be deposited, except in case of a certified check, which is required to be ‘made payable to the collector of the Dis- trict of Columbia.” As there are several “‘col- lectora” in this District, it seems to me it would be weil to state definitely which one is meant. ‘These specifications, I observe, aro an exact copy, word for word, fron the unexpired five Years’ contract for collecting garbage in this District, except that the words requiring pack- ages to bo of uniform size are left out. _, The contractor should have a guarantee that his bid is accepted the health officer will cause the garbage to be placed where he can get it without delay. I would like to submit a bid for the removal of garbage in reply to your advertisement, but before doing so would prefer to have the re- quirements stated a little more definitely. A serious if not fatal defect in the said five years’ contract is the omission to state how often garbage shall be removed from commis- sion houses, green grocer establishments, restaurants,” Gyster ‘houses and.” board. ing houses, “which acenmulate more than one-half the garbage in the city. Having called attention to this defect. in an article publiehed in Tux Star some time ‘ago I am surprixed to sco the same omission it the new specifications. Why particularize how often garbage shall be collected from dwelling houses, hotels and market houses and make no mention of how. often it shall be removed from commission housce, en groceries, oyster houses, restatirants and joarding houses, except what is implied in the language of the first specification, which re- quires “the contractor to furnish all necessary labor, materials, &c., &., * * * for the prompt execution of work of collecting all matter called garbage?” I will not unde to say why this im- portint omission is allowed In these apeeifica- tions, but the effect of it is to give the health officer power to enable a contractor to make money or subject him to a great loss solely on the construction he may place on the words, “for the prompt execution ef work of col- lecting all matter called garbage,” as applied to commission houses, green groceries, oyster houses, restanrants and bonding houses. If he construes prompt remove: of garbage from said places to mean once yr twice per week, the contractor can make money even on alow bid. If construed twice per day, be might lose money on a high bid. If the contractor to do this work had been picked out in advance the specifications could not have been drawn to fit his interests any better than they do. I do not mean to say such is the case, but if the proper correc are not made in_the said specifications, so that they will read in accordance with business principles, citizens will be justified in coming to that conclusion. T understand the law prohibits the Commis- sioners from making contracts in advance of appropriations. Also, that by the Ist of next month there will not be over #10,000 or £12,000 left of the garbage appropriation for the present fiscal sent. In’ cane tie appropriation gives outI would like to know what assurance the Commisioners can give the contractor that he will be paid for his services. Respectfully yours, COL. ROBERT'S EXPLANATION In answer to one of the objections Col. Robert explained that he had carefully consid- erod the matter with the assistant attorney for the District, Mr. §.'T. Thomas, and came to the conclusion that it would be unwise to change the specifications in the slightest degree, as that would relieve the old contractor of his bond. He said the health de- partment did prepare specifications that obvi- ated all difficulties. But they could not be in- corporated in this year's contract. Next year, however, the whole thing will be changed. ONE PROPOBAL ONLY. Then Commissioner Douglass called for the bids and Secretary Tindall handed him over one proposal. It was from Mr. R. B. Rusk and he guaranteed to do the work for the remainder Of the tlecal year for the sum of $34,200. The bid wis taken under consideration. Be- fore leaving Mr. T. W. Smith, who was present, suggested that in the new ‘specifications the large wholesale dealers and commission mer- chants be made to remove all of their garbage at their own expense. Commissioner Ross thought this an excellent suggestion, and promised to consider it when the new specifications came up for discussion. TREE THE THRELKELD BUILDING, The Health Officer's Keport on the Inspec- tion. This afternoon Health Officer Hammett sent the Commissioners a letter calling their atten- tion to the inspections and condition of the ‘Threlkeld School and the neighborhood adjacent and recommended that the Com- missioners take immediate action in the matter toward abating the nuisances in the streets as stated in the reports of the inspectors, Accompanying the letter was the report of the inspectors, in which they state that they found the building in a fair, sanitary conditior With few exceptions. The plumbing. the re- port says, is located outside of the building and is in good condition. There is some dampness and a damp, earthy odor which arises from the basement. One rtion of this is flooded and the other portion is paved. As a sanitary measure the flooring, which in many places ‘is decayed, should be removed and solid concrete substituted. This could be washed and cleaned, so that it would improve the sanitary condition of the building. oie Stewart Acquitted. After a recess of a couple of months Jadge Miller resumed the jury trials in the Police Court today, and the case of John Stewart for assault was first called. Stewart lives in East Washington, and although young in years his lice experience has been one of many chap- rs, Today he was charged with assaulting Policemen Kramer and Horton while the latter had him under arrest. The affair happened about three weeks ago, and among the partiel- pants were the officers, the defendant, Police- man Lightfoot and Policeman Kramer's bull- dog. Policemen Lightfoot and Stewart were worsted in the aifray. ‘The former, who was in citizens’ clothes and who was not known to the other officers, received a severe blow on the head from Officer Horton's club. Stewart's bloody shirt was produced in evi- dence by Lawyer Moss, his counsel. The jury, after hearing the testimony, returned a verdict of not guilty. ——. Two Cases of Assault. Acolored woman named Nannie Dodson was before Judge Miller this morning charged with using razor on Amanda Lucas. The trouble was about a man and Amanda received several cuts about the arm. The prisoner denied that she used a razor and claimed that it was only aknife. Judge Miller was satisfied that tho weapon ‘Wasa razor and gave Naunio six months in jail.

Asa rule the doctors have a solemncholy air that depresses thore who know them not, but beneath the scientific surface there {s @ great depth of good-natured and at times really jocular humanity; they — belon, to that class of men who (to use one of Bil Nye's expressions), “take life ensily.” When one of them begins to discuss in an off-hand style a case of orbital. traumatism followed by monocular blindness due to fracture of the foramen opticum the average layman loves interest in the language, but he cannot forget that every discussion e tends to the alleviation of human suffering and the lengthening of human existence.

CODBLE STONES BETWEEN TRACKS. Upon therecommendation of Capt. Rossel the Commissioners yesteday revoked the order of April 19, 1569, prohiliting railroad companies from laying cobble stones between the rails or tracks on any street. In conversation with Capt. Rossell upon the eubject he #aid: “The Commissioners have already nullified the order you speak of by verbal permission to railroads to continue the use of cobble in vie of the heavy expense they are being put to changing their rails. I think the order should be revoked THAT COBBLE STONE ORDER REVOKED. The order of the Commissioners, dated yes- terday, revoking the order of 1889, which pro- hibited the use of cobble between the tracks of the street railroad companies, was in turn re- yoked today, Commissioner Douglass scrate ing his name from the order. “Tomorrow or next day the Commissioners will discuss this matter in board session.
