DISTRICT AFFAIRS Will Be No Special Counse! in Railroad Cases. : Commissioners Asked to Pay Special Damnges for Digging a Sewer— Other Local Notes. It is understood that the attorney for the District in passing upon the letter of the president of the Northeast Citizens’ As- sociation concerning the appointment of special counsel to prosecute the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for infrac- tions of law, and which, as stated in yes- terday’s Star, was referred to him by the Commissioners for report, has returned the letter with the recommendation that no special counsel be employed. He says his office is fully capable of attending to such matters and incloses a list of the cases brought against the railroad during the past year, all of which were successfully prosecuted by Prosecuting Attorney Pugh with the exception of one where the judge decided against the District. There is no doubt the Commissioners will refuse to recognize the employment of special coun- sel, even though he be paid by the citi- zens’ association. Would Cut Of Water. Representatives of the Washington Ice Manufacturing Company appeared before the Commissioners this morning to dis- cuss the laying of a public sewer in Water street. It was represented that a part of the sewer would cross the ggmpany’s flume, and, as it would be necessary to drill through rock, the water in the flume would have to be cut off for some time during the construction of the sewer. They wanted to know if the District would pay for the loss of the water to the company during the time the sewer was being built. The Commisisoners replied that they had no authority to do any such thing, but refer- red the complaint to the attorney for the District for opinion. Lighting the City. Messrs. Crosby and Lee of the Potomac Light and Power Company were at the District building this morning to talk over the future prospect of lighting the city. They stated among other things that they had entered into a contract with the Cramps of Philadelphia for the engines and iron work for the construction of the new water plant at the corner of 32d and Water streets. They also stated that Mr. E, S. Cramp would be one of the directors of their company when it was finally formed. Orders Canceled. The attorney for the District having ren- dered an opinion that the proposed assess- ment work mentioned below was not prop- erly advertised, the following orders are canceled: Order of July 5, 1895, to lay cement side- walks in W street northwest between 12th and 13th streets, in front of squares 271 and 272.
