Assistant Attorney Thomas has forwarded to the Commissioners the following draft of a re to cover explosions in condui s explosions have occurred recently in holes of electric light conduits in Wash- and, whereas, such explosions were dangerous ‘to life and’ limb, it is ordere ‘That all companies in the District of Colam- bin owning or operating underground conduits containing electric wires shail provide for such conduits and their appurtenances such means of ventilation as shali meet the approval of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, to prevent the accumulation of explosive gases in such conduits, and until such means of ventila- | tion are provided said companies shall be! required to keep a constant supervision over their lines, with reference to the accumulation | of gases in the manholes of their conduits, and | shall remove mxnhole covers at sufliciently close intervals as to prevent explosive accumu- | lutions, And any person having charge, super- | vision or control of euch ciectric conduite who shall knowingly neglect or — fail to take the precautions to prevent explo- | ms from gas accumulations provided for in | is regulation shall, on conviction in the Police | Court, be punished by a fine of not less than | $25 nor more than 100 for each and every | offense, and in default of payment of suck tine all be imprisoned in the work honse of s#:2 | District for not less than one nor more tan | three mouths. CANNOT GRA’ Recently the Comm tion from L. M. Saunde i that certain parts of Hanover street be closed and the title be agnin vested in one of the | | petitioners. Inan opinion rendered today As- sistant Attorney Thom! that he does uot | think the Commissioners have any jurisdiction to comply with the request. The act of Con- | gress approved July 22, 1892, for opening | alleys, provided for the ‘opening, extending, widening or straightening of alleys on apph cation to the Commissiouers signed by more than one-half of the owners of the) real esinte in the square, or where | the Commissioners shall certify that tho preser- | vation of peacs, good order and the public | morals demand it, or where the health officer | sball certify that the public health demands it, provided that in so doing it shall be unlawfui | to close an original alley or part of such alley, | the fee of which is m the United States, which | may become urcless by such opening, widening, | extending or straightening, and that it ehall in | like manner be lawful to close any other alleys or parts of alleys, the title thereto to revert to the | | persons who dedicated the same for alley pur- es or other assigns. The proposition, Mr. | Thomas says. is that the Commiesioners cut off i} two little projections, not necessary apparently | to the usefulness of “Hanover street,” contain- | ing upward of 822 square feet of grommdsand give it to the abutting lot owner. Even if this | Jaw applies, which he thinks is doubtful, it eom- | prehends that the public gets something in ex- change for the land it gives away. THE ALLEY IN SQUARE 69, ‘The assistant attorney for the District has re- turned to the Commissioners the papers in the | matter of au alley proposed to be opened in | square 69. He says ho has carefully consid- | ered the case and is of the opinion that nothin, | can be done until an appropriation to pay dar ages is obtained. Without money the [law, if it applies to this case, can- j mot’ be executed. Those owners | whose | damages exceed the benefita cannct be paid off | in special assessments for benefit ey are | entitled to money. Whether the law in regard | to opening alleys will cover the case of this one, | to be known as “Newport place,” is » question | he thinks that does not call for a decision at | this time. | THE PLUMBING REGULATIONS. | The new plumbing regulations, a digest of | which has heretofore appeared in Tue Srar, | | were recently submitted to the assistant at | torney for the District for his consideration. | Today he returns them, duly approved, eon- | curring in the suggestions of Capt.

The Commissioners today ordered that so much of E street southeast as may be paved under the appropriation for the current fiscal year be assigned to the Cranford Paving Com- pany, to be paved with asphalt upon a |four-inch concrete base, and that so much | of South Capitol street as may be paved out of | the current appropriation be assigned to Wm. | Chaffee to be paved with granite block, aud | that so mach of Road stret as may be payed out of the appropriation for the current fiscal year be assigned to the Barber Asphalt Paving ‘Company.
