Dunlap & Co. of Philadelphia Get the Print- ing Contract, Although Commissioner Par- ker Opposes—Streets to Be Repaired— Other News of General Local Interest. praesent VE) The contract for doing the District printing during the current fiscal year was last evening awarded to Dunlap & Co. of Philadelphia. This ‘was somewhat of surprise, as it was believed the Commissioners would award the contract to local firm and keep the money in the District. ‘The contract involves the expenditure of about $6,500, and the bid of Dunlap & Co, was $1,080 lower than the next lowest bid. The Commis- sioners, however, were nota unit in disposing of the contract, Commissioners Ross and Powell Yoted in the affirmative, while Commissioner Parker voted ip the negative. It is understood that Commissionor Parker did his utmost to have the contract awarded toa local firm. He urged that the delay and trouble incident to having the work done out of the city would more than exceed the difference in the bids, While Commissioners Ross and Pow- ell were also heartily in favor of award- ing the contract to a local concern, still they did not believe the difference in bids warranted such a thing. Mr. Dunlap, the senior member of the firm, appeared at the District building this morning for the purpose of executing his contract, He agreed in writ- ing before the contract was signed to pay the ‘expenses of a competent man from the Com- missioners’ office to revise the proof of the tax list when the same was printed. He said. in conversation with a Stam re- porter, that his firm was perfectly reliable and capable of doing the work. He employed none but union men, and was confident that his work would compare favorable with) any ir the United States, Ho referred to thelast contract had for doing the printing for the District, said that the only cause for complaint that bad heard was on account of the errors in ‘the tax list, and the fact that he had been paid promptly was sufficient evidence that his com- pany was in no way to blame. A GARBAGE DECISION, Attorney Thomas holds in an opinion ren- dered to the Commissioners today that the con- tractor for removing garbage and dead ani- mals has not the exclusive right to collect all garbage and all dead animals, and that the Commissioners are not bound by their con- tract with him to secure to him such privi- lege, but that dead animals up to the point when they become « nuisance may be disposed of by owners, and in like manner garbage may be disposed of by owners until it is garbage receptacles for the collector. ‘also that neither the contractor uor any one else has the right to remove garbage or dead animals through public streets or upon the river in such manner as to rous to health or offensive to sight and smell, and thst the Commissioners have the right to prescribe the character of the vehicle in which garbage and dead animals may be removed. CONTRACTS AWARDED. The Coinmissioners yesterday afternoon awarded contract for furnishing ice to the Great Falls Ice Company, and made the follow- ing awards for plumbing material: Leitch & Son, $6,272; Thos, Sommerville & Sons, $2,821; W. A. Pate, $292, Contracts were also awarded to Lansburgh & Bros. and Rich & Co. for furnishing dry goods, WATCHMEN APPOINTED, Dennis Horigan, Nicholas Cahill and William Henderson hare been appointed additional privates of the metropolitan police force for duty as watchman at the naval observatory. ‘A PROMOTION. Samuel E. Mastin has been promtoed to the Position of assistant foreman of No. 1 engine company, subject to @ probationary term of one year. : UNFIT FOR USE. ‘The health officer has recommended the con- demnation of the house in Bassett's alley, in the rear of house 224 Maryland avenue, as unfit for habitation. Xo VENTILATION. Judge Kimball of the Police Court writes to the Commissioners that the cells of the Police Court are not ventilated except through the doors, and these hot days when at times there are from sixty to 100 persons into three cells the heat is almust unendurable. For hu- manity's sake the judge says something ought to be done to give to each cell proper ventila- tion. ‘To EXTEND CONNECTICUT AVENUE, ‘There was an executive session of the board of Commissioners thie afternoon at which the general subject of street extension was taken up and discussed. It was decided to take immediate steps look- ing to the extension of Connecticut avenue in a straight line, and on Monday next at 2 o'clock the Commissioners will give a public hearing to all persons interested in the matter. At present it is proposed by the engineer de- partment to extend Connecticut avenue in a straight line. To do this a number of deep cuts will have to be made for the purpose of getting a uniform , and the result will be that intersecting streets will have to cross the ave- nue by bridges. Capt. Powell suggested that it wonld be well for the board to examine the land for the pur- pose of becoming better acquainted with the situation. Accordingly the Commissioners drove out to the avenue this afternoon and ex- amined the locali*y. AGAINST SEMMMED MILK. ‘The Commissioners are determined, if possi- ble, to prevent the sale of skimmed and adulterated milk. Today they transmitted to the health officer a copy of the opinion of the attorney for the District relative to the law on the question of sales of skimmed or impure milk and requested him to report to the cHemist of the internal revenue department all cases of illegal vending of skimmed or adulter- ‘ated milk reported to his office in order that all offenders in the premises may be duly prose- cuted. TODAY'S ORDERS. ‘The Commissioners today ordered: That the bid of J. B. Lord for concrete sand, paving sand, screened pebbles and screened brick work sand be accepted, and that all the bids for broken stone be re! ‘That four gas lights be established on Harvard street between 18th and 14th streets northwest, when funds become available, ‘That the holes in the pavement on 181 street southwest be repaired and paid for out of ap- propriation for current repairs to streets, avenues and alleys, 1894. ‘That J.

REMOVE THE GARBAGE. No Smoke Without Fire, and Garbage Oomplaints Pour In, ‘Thousands Are Dying of Cholera in Europe and This City is Not Clean—Thirty- ‘Two Carts Only. Garbage complaints are still pouring into the health office, and the clerk is kept busy receiv- ing and recording them. Twenty-eight com- plaints were received the: first thing this morn- ing and additional complaints are expected later on. “Why is it that the man will not collect the garbage until he is sent for?” is the question asked by many persons, “The garbage man was in alley today and re- fused to remove garbage from 808 43¢ ° reads the complaint of J. F. Marsden. give directions to have himcall at an early date, ‘as the collection is becoming offensive.” T. D. Clark writes: “I beg to call your atten- tion to the fact that the garbage has not been Femoved from my premises far a period of eight days, and request that immediate steps be taken by you toward abating such nuisance.” ‘Thomas Rutledge also makes complaint. Ho wants to know what has become of the garbage man, whom he has not seen for three weeks. “They are needed very badly,” he saya. “Sufferer” complains that no garbage has been collected on ta street southwest between Land M streets since June 28. The complaint states that the garbage man has been about there, but he has refused to take the garbage, as it was not in his district. “Is the board health unable to keep us from peetilence?” Mrs. Augur, who states that she is a boarding house keeper. tates that the garbage cart goes by her houso, but it does not stop. ae ‘Again a wee! passed since the garbage cart colitcted at this house, notwithstanding your attention has repeatedly been called to the fact that only weekly calls were being made, ‘and more are necessary.” ‘The above complaint came from M. ©. ‘Tuoker. J. Bruce Morton, chiot clerk, army head- juarters, ites: “The garbage in rear of Tesidouce hasnot been removed for thres weeks, and the stench is enough to breed disease to the whole row of houses in which I live.” Others complain of the failure of the garbage man to appear in some instances for two weeks or more. ‘ The report of Inspector Thomas shows that _ irae bra pat carts in the service yes- terday and that 93,950 pounds of garbage were collected. : g COMMODORE HICHBOKN. He Has Been Appointed Chief Constructor of the Navy. Secretary Herbert accepted the resignation of Commodore Wilson as chief constructor of the navy late yesterday afternoon and appointed Naval Constructor Philip Hichborn to succeed him. Commodore Wilson resigned on account of ill bealth.

The rate from Washington will, tverefore, be $17. There are, however, some Grawbacks to the arrangement. Only certain trains can be used and on these certain facilities will be absent.

James Butler, a Lyon county, Kan., farmer, has had papers prepared for a very peculiar suit, Some weeks since a great cloudburst in his neighborhood caused the destruction of Butler's wheat crop. A few days later A.B. Montgom- ery, a rainmaker, being at Goodland, claimed to have caused the cloudburst, which came with- out warning from the barometer. ‘Now Butler proposes to make Montgomery's rain company pay the damage. The same storm caused a washout on the Santa Fe line, and a terrible wreck followed, in which an en- gineer was killed.
