Over Three Thousand New Build- ings Erected This Year. FOR GREATER WATER SUPPLY. Attorney Thomas today rendered an im- portant opinion on the subject of the inspec- tion of lumber. For along time the law which regulates the inspection and measurement of lumber bas been considered a dead letter, and » number of dealers have their own moasurers and never call upon the authorized official of the District. The result is that the District official, who is paid by tho fees he collects, makes little money. u Some time ago there was 8 combination of prominent lumber men formed to fight the law, but no test case was ever made, and the matter fell throngh. The Commissioners, however, have been importuned of late by the inspectors and sent the matter to the attorney for the Dis- trict for his opinion on the law. After citing the law in the case ss it at pres- ent exists Mir. Thomas says: It is inadmissible for dealers in lumber in this District to con- tend, as I understand from your letter they do contend, that where lumber is ing elve- where it is not again able to inspection in this District. The object of the inw, as before stated, is not to protect the dealer; he is an expert, and is supposed to be able to rotect himself) whezeas the consumer is not, in contemplation of the ordinance, an expert, and hence the necessity for inspection in order to protect him against having any bad lumber imposed upon him. Aside from this inspection that takes place elsewhere, at the instance of the manufacturer or even the dealer, would not necessarily afford the protection to consumers which is contem- plated by the ordinance, since lumber may re- main and very often does remain in the yards of dealers for several years after the inspection, which takes place outside this District, and | least might and generally does during thet’ time Unflergo very material changes, both in respect, of quality and measurement, While in my opinion the ordinance in ques- tion is valid, and, according to its letter, dealers making sales of lumber without inspection by | such an inspector appointed by the Commissioners are liable to prosecution, still thr fact remains that with six inspectors it is impossible to do the work unless the lumber business is practi- cally suspended until they shall have time to do it. Whether under these conditions the Police Court would eunvict for violation of the ordi- nance I am unable to say. It is doubtful. In considering the validity of the ordinance the difference in volume of the lumber trade in this District between 1866 and now must be taken intoaccount, In 1866 there were fewer dealers and not so much lumber handled as now. Whether six inspectors (the number provided for by the ordinance) was sufficient then to accommodate the trade, if inspection was to precede each individual sale, it is manifest that six inspectors are not now sufficient if the personal ence of an inepector is required at each individual sale by dealers to consumers. has outgrown the law. A moment's reflection will convince any one that if lumber is to be inspected and measured ~‘when and as soon as the same shail be sol clares, then the daily sales of any of our larg’ dealers, several of whom, as is well known, have more than one yard, would require the entire time of the six inspectors. Under these condi- tions it is impossible for six inspectors to do the work, and bence it is, I presume, that this ordi- nance has always been construed by lumber denlers and by the city and District _authori- ties to mean inspection as between the manu- facturer and dealer. The invariable practice— aquiesced in by the public authorities ever since the passage of the ordnance—has been, as Tam informed, to inspect lumber when it is delivered from’ vessels on the wharves or on cars, and not “when and as soon as the same bali be sold,” a8 required by the ordnance, Tarail myself of thie opportunity to suggest tothe board the propriety of submitting to Congress, for enactment at its next session, a bill empowering the Commissioners to make such reasonable rules and regulations in regard to the inspection and measurement of lumber as they may deem advisable, and also to aj point lumber inspectors, define their du and fix their compensation. Such a law would be flexible and could readily be adapted to the demands of trade. Should the Commissioners concur in this suggestion I will be glad to draft such a bill as is proposed. COMPLAIN OF A NUIRANCE, The residents and property owners iu the vicinity of the old car stables at the corner of 12th and V streets northwest have combined in a petition to the Commissioners praying for the abatement of an intolerable nuisance at the above named place. The nuisance complained of consists of the blockading of 12th street between, U and V from about 6 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 o'clock at night by the street sweepers. They are ranged along the street before starting off for their night's work, where they are oiled and cleaned, turning the street into a private work- she ded to this, the workmen congre- gate about this point und create more or less confusion, ‘and return about 4 o'clock in the morning just as the people are getting their much-needed rest. ‘The petitioners cite the case of Frank K. Ward's dairy, which was declared to be » nuisance by the Supreme Court of the District, and sa; the public is entitled to protection from. this class of nuisances. In view of the decision the petitioners ask that the police be instructed to enforce the law. SHOULD TRY IT HIMSELF. Relative to the complaint of Judge Kimball that the cells of the Police Court are badly ven- tilated, and sbow/d be improved, the building inspector today investigated the matter and re- ports that the doors of the cells are open ‘iron ars. Ihe cassage in front of the cells is pro- vided with a ventilating skylight. The door from the corridor to passage front of the cells is also of open bars, which gives a circulation of air in the pas- sage. In the cells there is ventilation through the closets and out through the roof in each cell.and they are in every particular constructed as all the cells in the station houses, The heat complained of is from overcrowding, and to relieve that his office is now engaged in fitting up in the building a large cell for females, OATHERING INFORMATION. The Commissioners are engaged in collecting all data possible relative to the erection and maintenance of contagious disease hospital. As stated heretofore in Tuz Stan. letters have been written to the mayors of the large cities, and the State Department was requested tocommunicate with the United Slates representatives abroad for the purpose of collecting all foreign data on the subject. Secretary Gresham writes to the Commissioners today that the representatives of the United States at Berlin, Paris, London and Vienna have been instructed to obtain whatever information they can upon the sub- ject so far as relates to their respective locali- ties, NEW WATER SUPPLY. Within a short time all that tection west of Tock Creek will be supplied with water. It will be recalled that yesterday Mr. C. C. Clover, who represents the property interests. in that section, called upon the Commis- sioners and explained that he had re- ceived an o} for a piece of ground in the Reno subdivision where a: reservoir with a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons could be built tor supplying the area named. Capt. Derby, who has the immediate charge of the water system, said to ® Stak reporter to- day that as soon ag the title to the land had been transferred to the District he would take steps for the laying of the 12-inch main from the pump house to the reservoirand pum the water through the same. ‘The main would be Inid along the Tenleytown road. As yet he could not give any specific details of the plan to be followed in the construction of the reservoir, but thought it would be of concrete. Capt.” Derby also bas s for laying a 24-inch main to connect the reervoir with the new pump house Lusk, which is to adjoin the distributing rever- voir. The main will either be laid along the Loughborough or along the Boulevard along Rock creck, the land for which bas already been donated. As soon as this main is laid the 12-inch main will be abandoned as a supply main and used as a distributing main, the twenty-four-inch pipes supplying the water to the reservoir. Capt. Derby ts also anxions to optain a site form reservoir in the Snood of Petworth to supply that section. ai ‘The difficulty is a lumber business as the ordinance de- | said will roposed by Capt. | A Sharp Letter From Gov.
