CONTRACTOR AND INVENTOR DISAGREE Proposed Elevation of the Bal- timore and Ohio Tracks. OTHER LOCAL NEWS ——— Garbage Contractor Warfield and Inventor Brown of the garbage crematory have had a misunderstanding, and the trouble has been laid before the Commissioners. In- ventor Brown had a hearitig before the Commissioners yesterday, and made some charges which, he avers, he can substan- tiate. The hearing was conducted in the strictest privacy, but the story has leaked out just the same. * The garbage crematory wken it was first imstalled was represented, so it is said, to have a capacity of burning 100 tons of garbage per day. It is now charged that the crematory cannot do the work. In- ventor Brown, so it is said, represented to the Commissioners that Contractor War- field was not treating him fairly. He was, Mr. Brown claimed, working all sorts of schemes to make the crematory appear in a bad light and have it condemned, in or- der to carry out another plan of his own. It was stated fo a reporter of The Star to- day that the cause of the trouble was that the contractor was holding back the garb- age and running it into the crematory in large quantities, stalling the operation of the plant. In fact, it is said a watch was kept on the garbage carts, and drivers were detected waiting at street corners until sev- eral of them got together, and then de- scended in a bunch upon the crematory. The result, it was claimed, was damaging to the Crematory, and Inventor Brown made his protest. Th fact, it is stated he and Con- tor Warfield came nearly to blows. It s Said Inventor Brown charged Contractor Wartield with a desire to cripple his plant in such a way that it would be condemned, in order that he could carry out his scheme of building a crematory down the river. However this may be, it seems from the reports that the crematory cannot handle the garbage of the city. nor can it d of 1) tons per day. Contracior W; Was at the District building today making arrangements for a system of scows to car- ry the garbage down the river and deposit- ing it upon farms. This is the old scheme that met with such vigorous objection from the citizens of Alexan scuttled several of the scows. It has been claimed the garbage never finds its way to a farm, but is dumped overboard Inio the river as soon as the boats get outside of the city limits. Inventor Brown lodged another com- Plaint, it is understood, with the Commis- sioners, He says an citort is being gnade to blow up the cremato y, and recently ts men have reported the presence about the plant of a noted criminal, who has been connected with several ‘robberies here- abouts, and who is known as a dangerous man. He wanted protection. The Commissioners, it is understood, red own that they would see ss accorded full justice, and in- tors were at once detailed to look into bis complaints. Depressed Tracks. In yesterday's account of the bill now he- fore the Commissioners for ai plishing: srade crossings in South Washington a typographical error occurs. The Star stated the raflroad would cross at grade at 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 1th-and 12th streets southwest. It should read the streets will cross the railroad depression at grade at those poin Removing the Fish. The emergency fund hus been called into requisition to remove the decaying fish that are floating in the river adjacent to the city. Owing to the unusually large number of fish qgught this spring, there has been no market for them, and thousands of shad and herring have been thrown overboard. The river near the city tains thousands of them, and the Wash them upon the shore, where the cay and spread bad cdo: This morning the health officer recommended harbor master be dire row bi that the ted to engage two $s and a crew, with nets and other nalia, to remove these fish and re they could be collected by the garbage contractor. The Commis- sioners promptly approved the recomn dation, and Harbor Master Sutton imm diately set sail for the river. Fees for Vaccination. The Commissioners this morning heard Attorney Glasscock, representing the phy siclans to the poor, who claim extra com- pensation for additional services imposed upon them in the matter of vaccinating the poor during the smalipox epidemic. The ysiclans understood that the Commis- were about to recommend that the cians be allowed cents for each nation performed. This, he contended, ed cents, and thought that a fair allow- certainly it shovld not be less than i cents. The Commissiorers took the mat- ter under consideration. B. and O. Tracks. The railroad committee of the board of tra le, co ing of Messrs. Samuel W.Cur- riden, Frank Hume and W. J. Frizzell, to- gether with President Evan Tucker of the Northeast Citizens’ Association and Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, appeared before the Commis- sioners this morning in reference to Senate bill 2809, providing for the elevation of the tracks of the B. and O. railroad in the city of Wasningtoa. The committee held a meeting last night and decided upon sev: eral important amendments. The first amendment is made to section 3, which leaves the construction of viaducts to the Secretary of War and the Commissioners. Again, in th: provision for the closing of streets an amendment is inserted closing D street north between the west instead of the east line of Delaware avenue. The closing of E streeet between the east line of North Capitol street and the east line of Delaware avenue is cut oui of the bill. Section 4 is amended by allowing the com- pany to lay temporary trac subject to the approval of the Secretary War and the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia, in line of putting the matter under the committees of the Senate and House of the District of Columbia. The most important amendment proposed by the committee. was submitted in the form of a letter and was as follows: ‘The railroad committee of the hoard of trade unanimously urge upon the Commis- sicners the absoltite necessity to the wel- fa of the northeastern secticn of the city Cyclometer FREE.

The section, as originally pre- sented, stipulated that the tracks of the Metropolitan branch #lone within the limits of the city cf Washington shail cease upon the completion of the viaduct. For a New Schoo! The Commissioners are making strenuous efforts to get an amendment to the pending District appropriation bill involving an ex- penditure of $20,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a new school building beyond Rock creck and Grant road for the benefit of the children of that vicinity. The site selected is on Connectl- cut avenue extended. Building Inspector Brady recommended the purchase of tiree four acres of land for the school, and rustee Witmer, who brought the matter first to the attention of the Commission- ers, says in this connection: With regard to the quantity of land to be acquired I would like to make a long argument here in favor of procuring and preserving entire blocks, such as formerly surrounded the Wallach and Central High Schools, but since the Senate is disposed to make such a policy mandatory upon us, T have at this time simply to suggest that you ask for an appropriation not to ex- ceed $10,000, which, with the $10,000 neces- sary for the building, wi!l make a total of $20,000, the land to be acquired in accord- ance with the plan indicated in the bill introduced some days ago by Senator Per- kins.” Adverse Report. An adverse report has been returned by the Commissioners to Congress upon House Dill 7139, authorizing the Falls Church and Potomac electric road to enter the city by a ferry. The Commissioners say tiey do not believe the ferry will be built, as ex- perience has shown in the case of other roads granted similar charters that the method is inadvisable. Continuing, they It is understood that the Falls Church and Potomac road has no railroad or other physical property in Virginia. At- tention is invited to the provision in the bill giving the company the right to build a short road in the city, withou quirement for preceding constr in Virginia. The full fare uld be charged over the short city tracks whether the Vir- ginia end was built or not. ‘There does not appear to be any neces- sity for a car line along the proposed route. If there w the route should be used by one of the existing city roads. Hither the Capital Traction, Meirop. or Eckirg- ton company, which cross or run on the part of North B street. ne Capltal Trac- tion company has applied fer an extension to the water front, near 5 s'! “There is no demand for street car traffic on the route named in the Falls Chure? bill east of about 22d street, and a very small part of the traitic on or west of 22d street would be satisfactorily served oy a road rupning only to ‘ith and J3 streets. “We suggest that any road seeking an entrance into the city near the Aqueduct bridge be required to construct a bridge of its own across the river. They should all run into the Union depot. The Wash- ington, Arlington and Falls Church com- pany is a wholly different or: from the one named in the bill, now op- erating a road from Ross'yn, Va., and Ar- lington.”” Condition of Bowen School. The old Bowen school house is safe, but urhealthy. This is the gist of a report made upon its condition by the inspector of Luildings, who, at the request of the Commissioners, made a thorough investiga- tion of the building. He carefully inspect- ed the structure, and plumbed the walls, with the result that the building was de- clared safe. He found, however, no ar- rangement for ventilation, except the most primitive, and the sanitary @rrangements were old-fashioned and bad. These facts will be reported to the board of school trustees, and there is little doubt that the Commissioners will urge upon Congress the necessity of a new building to replace the old one.

Hrieiy, they recommend that a circular letter scnt to each lot ow iS y 2 the city who: lot is improperly numbered, and get i consent to a change. This’ is con necessary, in view of the questioned valil- ity of the law, which gives the Commis- sicners pcwer to make the change in their discretion, There are 40 lots in the city that are improperly number id It is believed no tax. ald be ¢ there- from, if the owners protested and went Into court. The great trouble is that it is Imposs:hle, in view of the present system of numbering, to propert a lot in @ tax bill, As @n illustration, a man owns an original lot, which he subiivides into eght or more lots, leaving a portion un- subdivided. These lots are numbered, com- mencing with the high until the last lot is reached, which remains unnumbered. The result is, when a tax bill is made out for this last lot, it sim- ply reads, “Of such and such a lot.” This has been decided to be an.tmperfect de- scription, and if taken into court the tax thereon could not be collected. It is bes Hevea the new plan will work satisfactor- ly. Proposed Health Lawn. Health Officer Woodward will lay before the Commissioners tomcrrow two important bills, with the urgent recommendation that they be submitted to Congress with their approval. One of these bills is known as the quarantine bill and has for its object a medical inspection of all foreign ships ccming to this port before the sailors or the cargo thereof is allowed to land. One of the greatest sources of contamination of centagious diseases comes from ships, and there 1s no place in this country where smallpox rages more than it does on the Island of Trinidad. It is from this place that the District gets most of its cement and asphalt for pavements. According to the bill, these vessels wiil be required to show a clean bill of health before its cargo is deported or sailors allowed to leave the ship. . The other bill is known as a Dill to pre- vent the spread of contagious diseases, and is more in the nature of amcndments to the existing measure than a new bill, properly speaking. At the present time when a case of diphtheria or scarlet fever accurs in the city it is necessary for the attending phy- siclan to at once notify the health office, Whereupon the house is immediately plac- arded. The new bill will include, beside scarlet fever and diphtheria, smallpox, lep- rosy, Asiatle cholera and all other con- tagious diseases, There is another bill in preparation, but it will not be submitted to the Commission- ers for some time. It relates to privies and its object is a reconstruction on a sanitary basis of all such structures in the District of Columbia. Important License Decision, Attorney Madigan recently raised a point involving a refund of deposit in the case where 2 licensed liquor Wealer was con- victed of selling liquor to minors, and from the opinion of the attorney for the District today he is sustained in his contention, and a considerable amount of money be refunded. There are two sections in the new liquor law relating to the sale of liquor to minors. One is embraced in the sixth section, which provides that no person holding a liquor license shall in any way dispose of liquor to a minor. Section 19 also refers to the sale of liquors to minors, and js. more specific, imposing a severe penalty for the violation of the section. It provides: “That no Hcensee, in any place, shall knowingly sell or permit to be sold in his establishment any intoxicating liquor of any kind to any person under the age of twenty-one years, under a penalty, upon due conviction thereof, of forfelting such license, and no person so forfeiting his license shall be granted a license for a term of two years.’ It has been quite difficult to secure a con- viction upon this section because of the word “knowingly.” To secure a conviction, the proper authorities instituted action un- der the sixth section, and the excise board has promptly forfeited the license, and withheld the deposit. Attorney Frank Madi- gan, while investigating one of these cases, saw the point that the license was forfeited under one clause and the prosecution based upon another. Whereupon he promptly made application for a refund of the de- posit, and the matter was sent to the attor- ney for the District for his opinion. That opinion, as stated above, was favorable to Mr, Madigan, and, it is understood, the de- pesits will be promptly turned over to the applicants. It is understood Attorney Ma¢ gan will next move for a reconsideration of the cases forfeited, and try and have his clients relicensed.
