The time draws near when the street railway companies of the District must equip the cars of their respective lines with fenders, pick-ups and wheel guards for the protection of life and limb. But thirteen days intervene before the order of the Commissioners is slated to go into effect. Failure to comply with the order will en- tail 2 fine of $25 per day for each car not equipped in the manner provided. The order, which was promulgated Janu- ary 31, occasioned strenuous objections on the part of certain railroads, the Washing- ton and Georgetown Company declaring that it would be out of the question to equip all the grip cars of that road with fenders within sixty days. After consider- ing the objections the Commissioners de- cided not to formally extend the time, but announced that if the roads used all due diligence it would be possible to tell before April 1 if additional time might be required for the work of equipping the cars. Commissioner Powell stated to a Star re- porter today that the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company has practi- cally adopted the Blackistone fender, wheel guard and pick-up, which are now being manufactured in Baltimore, and it is ex- pected that a car will be equipped and a test made before the expiration of the pres- ent week. It is understood that the Wash- ington and Georgetown Company will ask an additional thirty days in which to equip its rolling stock, but it is not known wheth- er the request will be granted or denied. It has also been stated that one or more of the suburban roads running out of Georgetown are testing and considering the advisability of adopting a new fender of local invention, Nothing, however, has been heard of this at the District building. —<—<——__ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Proposal Accepted. The Commissioners have accepted the proposal of Wm. E. Stockett & Company to furnish twelve photolithograph sets of the plats of subdivisions of the various squares of the city of Washington, for the sum of $1,950. To Investigate. The Commissioners have informed Sec- retary Joseph K. Potter of the Federation of Labor that the inspector of buildings has been instructed to investigate the mat- ter of the alleged hollow walls in the school building in Southeast Washington, and that he is ready to plug the walls as soon as a committee of the federation reports to him to witness the investigation. More Buoys. ‘The Commissioners have forwarded a let- ter to Secretary Carlisle requesting him, if consistent with the rules of the Treasury Department, to have the chairman of the light house board provide for furnishing and placing five white buoys in the Poto- mac river at Washington at such points as ‘may be designated by the harbor master. The use of the buoys is found to be abso- lutely necessary for the proper enforce- ment of the act of March 2, 1595, establish- ing harbor regulations for the District of Columbia. Taxes in Arrears. The Commissioners have ordered that the payment of taxes in arrears and special assessments on lot 12, square 620, assessed in the name of Martha Jordan, be accepted without penalty and interest, in accord- ance with the opinion of the attorney for @ the District, and that upon payment of taxes the subdivision of lot 12, part of lot O and all of P, square 620, be put on record. This is the case where a public alley was dedicated to the District by Mrs. Jordan upon the condition that the penal- ties on her property be removed, and as the alley was regarded as a public neces- sity, the Commissioners accepted the con- ditions imposed. pt Be Exempted. C. H. Carrington has been informed by the Ccmmissioners that lots 25, 26, 27, 79 and 80, square 2, West Eckington, cannot be exempted from taxation until a build- ing is erected thereon and actually used for religious purposes.

In the case of the District against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany, to enforce the payment by the com- pany of a license for running its cars, Judge Bradicy today overruled the Dis- trict’s motion to quash the writ of certio- rari. The case will, therefore, be heard during the April term of the Circuit Court. Several months ago the. District filed an information in the Police Court against the company, complaining that the com- pany had failed to. pay a license for run- ping Its cars. The case Was postponed from time to time, and at length the com- pany brought it.up tothe Circuit Court ‘on a writ of certiorari. This writ. the Dis- trict moved the court to quash, contending that the Pofice Court has ample jyrisdic- tion. ‘The matter’ was claberately argued Saturday by Messrs. Enoch Tétten and Walter D. Davidge, on behaif’ of the com- pany, and by S. T. Thomas‘andA. B. Du- vall on behalf of the District: Judge Bradley, in overrultig the motion; explained that he did so if view of the, magnitude of the amount involved, said to he from $5,000 to $50,000, apd; because the action of the Circuit Court could be re- viewed by the Court of Appeals, which could not be done should the case be de- termined by the Police Court, —__-__, = MOVING TIME. District Officials Anxio New Quarters. The tig house moving of the District gov- ernment, which provides for the centrali- zation of the various District..offices now scattered about in differentesections of the city to the Walker building, on the south side of Louisiana avenue, beiween 415 and Gth streets northwest, next. door to the present location of police headquarters, will soon be in evidence. Commissioner Truesdell stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that the move ts to be made at the very earliest possible date, and it is probable that business will be transacted at the new stand by April 1. It was found necessary to alter the con- struction of the Walker building so as to provide for a number of additional win- dows. This is the sole cause of delay, ac- cording to Mr. Truesdell, and when the Commissioners are informed that the build- ing is ready for occupancy the order to va- cate the present structure on Ist street will immediately: be made. ———__ THE COURTS.

Sketch of the Men Who Will Measure District Land Hereafter. The District Commissioners late Saturday evening filled the offices of surveyor and assistant surveyor of the District of Co- lumbia, created under the act of Congress approved February 28, 1895, by the ap- pointment of Mr. William Forsythe and Mr. Menry B. Looker to the respective positions for terms of four years each. Mr. Jas. H. Forsythe, son of the first named, was made clerk to the surveyor. Mr. Forsythe and his son have been identified with the surveyor’s office for many years, and the practical experience of the former and the famillarity with the records, plats and business of the office possessed by the lat- ter will prove as valuable to them in the future as it has in the past. Mr. Looker will perform the same sort of official duties as the surveyor, and in his absence will direct the office. He is a young man thirty-seven years of age, but since 1881 has been steadily engaged in en- gineering work of practical value. He served on the hydrographic survey for the Proposed Chesapeake and Delaware ship canal, and later was engaged on the Rock- port tunnel in Pennsylvania. He became professor of mathematics at Stamford Col- lege, Connecticut, and later at De Veaux College, New York. In 1887 he came to. Wasnington, and in 1890 succeeded to the business of Mr. Herman K. Viele, the civil. and topographical engineer. Mr. Looker has acquired a valuable knowledge of the topography of the District, its prop- erty lines and landmarks, and this renders himi ‘peculiarly fitted for the duties of his new position. The law under which the new offices were created provided that all fees collected by the surveyor shall hereafter be paid into the treasury, and that those employed in the office shall be paid regular salaries, the surveyor receiving $3,000 and the as- sistant surveyor $1,800 per annum. The act further declares that the field notes of the surveyor and his assistant shall be preserved and shall be a part of the public property of the District of Co- lumbia, and all recards, plats, plans and other papers or documents now existing or hereafter made shall be delivered’ by each surveyor to his successor in office. In pur- suance of the last provision it is under- stvod that Mr. Forsythe has turned over to the District all the numerous records of his work as city surveyor during the past thirty: years. —_— ‘THE PINE TREE STATE. Celebration of the Anniversary of Maine’s Admission to the Union. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the ad- mission of the state of Maine to the Union was celebrated Saturday evening at the meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Maine. An Interesting address was deliv- ered by ex-Gov. Perham, who said that he was not quite a year old when Maine became a state. He spoke cntertainingly of some of the noted sons of Maine, and especially of those who had won distinc- tion in the national halls of legislation. He discussed the prohibition law that was in operation in Maine and pointed out the good results that followed the enforcement of that law. The meeting was presided over by the president of the association, F, F.. Phillips, and Pitman Pulsifer, the chairman of the entertainment committee, in the course of an appropriate speech, in- troduced the speaker of the evening. Among those present were Maj. A. S. Per- ham, Miss Fannie Perham, Thomas P. Cleaves, George B. Hoyt, George W. Halls Dr. A. Patten, Walter Higgins, Miss Hig- gins, George S. Corson, William Perham, ‘Dr. E. E. Morse and S. E. Davis. ———__ Gen, Shakespenre’s Pension. Gen. William Shakespeare of Michigan was on Saturday awarded judgment for costs by Judge Bradley, upon the sub- stantial admission of the commissioner of pensions that the notice served on Gen. Shakespeare on a reduction of pension was not in conformity with the law. The case was similar to the recent Long case. Judge Lochren, in speaking of the case, said that it would not apply to any other case on the rolls, and that if any pensioners whose pen- sions have been reduced and dropped since the passage of the act of December 21, 1893, think that they are entitled to recover, these cases must be taken into the courts. — William Dean, colored, was fined $50 in the Police Court for carrying a loaded re- volver.
