THE BUILDING INSPECTORS NEEDS Other Local Departments and Funds Wanted to Run Them. INTERESTING LOCAL ITEMS — In the annual estimates of the superin- tendent of street and alley cleaning an ap- propriation of $203,969 is asked for the fis- cal year ending June 30, 1898. Of this sum, $179,569 is for the cost of the work, while $24,400 is for salaries. Following 1s a de- tailed list of the estimates: For sprinkling, sweeping and cleaning improved streets and avenues, $120,000; sprinkling and cleaning improved alleys, $14,000; cleaning unimproved streets and alleys, $30,000; hand-cleaning Pennsylvania avenue and other streets, $7,700; laborers on public dumps, $4,225; inspectors’ horses, eight in all, $2,504; livery, superintendent's horse, $240; contingent expenses, $900. In explaining his estimates the superin- tendent says: It is necessary to a correct understanding that I explain to you the foregoing items, and why I ask an increase in some cases, particularly as the total sum estimated for largely exceeds the amount appropriated for the fiscal year 1807." I respectfully ask that you will compare the foregoing esti- mate for 1898 with the estimate of cost of work for 1897, submitted to you under date of June 18 last, as it will render as- sistance in determining the necessity for the increase asked for. I wish to say in advance that all estimates made have been based on present contract prices as far as possible, and have been made on a basis of 300 working days, except street cleaning (improved streets), and have been made as closely as possible. For the last two years we have had about $85,000 for sprinkling, sweeping, &c., the improved streets and avenues of the city, but usually before the close of the year emergencies have arisen that reduced what we supposed was avail- able to about $83,000. As will be observed, I ask for $120,000 for improved streets, the cause of such de- mand being that if we only do the same amount of work in 1898 that we did in 1896 and will probably do in 1897, that by reason of expiration of present contract June 30, 1897, no matter who does the work, contractor or municipal authorities, it will cost one-fourth, or about $21,000, more by reason of the eight-hour law affecting the labor required, which laW did not go into effect until after present contract was made, thus allowing present contractor to work his force ten hours per day. Further, there is about 750,000 square yards,of street surface that can now be swept but once a week. This area should be swept at least twice per week and would cost $10,000 addi- tional. Again, there are numerous urban and suburban streets that should be thor- oughly sprinkled for at least 150 days in the year to keep down the intolerable dust. This I estimate can be done for about $2,- ov. It will, therefore, be readily seen that the three causes of increase of estimates, amounting as they do to $37,000, added to the $83,000, makes the $120,000 1 have asked for to properly sweep, sprinkle and clean bee streets and avenues (improved) of the city. Improved Alleys. For this work I ask an increase of about $2,000 over and above the amount deemed necessary to carry us through the present fiscal year. The reason for the same is that new alleys are being constantly added to the list for cleaning. Also, we will prob- ably be called upon to clean improved al- leys outside of the city limits which are not now scheduled. Unimproved Streets and Alleys. It will be seen by comparing the csti- mates of cost for this class of work as made for 1897 that I have increased the item $11,000. To account for such increase I wish to say that the work is now being done for $68.85 per day under contract, ex- clusive of ccst of inspection. There are em- ployed on this work six gangs of eight men and two horses and carts each. Occasionally extra men and carts furnished at $1 and $1.50 per day respectively are employed. Referring to the cleaning of Pennsylvania avenue and other streets by hand, he says: “I increase this item over the probable cost for 1897 by $1,650. This I do for the reason that I believe the system of hand cleaning as done at present should be gradually extended. I therefore propose to add, if appropriation warrants, 9th street west from B street north to G street north and F street north from 7th street west to 15th street west to present list. The cost of this additional work I base on existing contract, which is as low as it can be done.” Health Office Estimates. The estimates of the health officer for the proper conduct of his department during the next fiscal year have been submitted to the Commissioners. In all he asks for an appropriation of $222,920. This is an in- crease of $114,000 over the current appro- priation. The new estimates provide for two additional clerks at $1,200 each, who shall act as sanitary and food Iuspcctors. Four additional sanitary and food iaspac- tors are estimated for at $900 cach, who shall also supervise the collection of garb- age and dead animals. An engineer at $00 for duty at the Smallpox Hospital is asked, and a clerk is recommended, who shail de a physician and act as chief of inspectors and deputy health officer at $1,800 per an- nvm. One sanitary and food inspestor to assist chemist at $600 per annum is another new item. An increase of $5,000 is asked in the department for the preveation and spread of scarlet fever and diphtheria,mek- ing an appropriation recommended of $11,000. An estimate is included for the establishment and maintenance of a bac- teriological laboratory at $5,000. An item is included for the disposal of general refuse, which is reckoned at $15,000. This was recommended last year. For the pur- chase of a hospital for contagious diseases an appropriation of $50,000 is urged, end an appropriation of $25,000 for the erection and maintenance of a hospital for the treatment of scarlet fever and diphtheria is also ur- gently recommended. A small increase is asked for contingent expenses. Building Inspector’s Estimates. The annual estimates of Building In- spector Brady were submitted to the Com- missioners today. They are as follows: Building Department. Salaries, &c—Inspector of buildings, $2,400; chief clerk and architect, $1,600; one assistant inspector cf buildings, $1,200; three assistant inspectors of buildings, one of whom shall be inspector of elevators, $3,000; clerk, $900; messerger, $480; contin- gent expenses, books, blanks, stationery, livery of horse and repairing to carriage, Continuing he says: . I renew my request of last year that the number of inspectors be increased to seven, and that their salaries be made $1,200’ each. ‘Also that one additional clerk, at $1,200, be provided. The necessity for this addi- tional force is urgent, because of the con- stantly increasing amount of work of a miscellaneous character, that this depart- ment must attend to. With it the admin- istration of this office would be more ef- fectual, ard the community would be bet- ter satisfied with the prompt service this department could render with such a changed condition. With an increased force of assistants they coulda be assigned to supervise the con- struction of the new buildings annually erected by the District, and thus save the expense now incurred by the employment — WATCHES, ESIVES RAZORS, Pr PIPES and other valual 2 bre coupons with py aA POUCH TOBACCO. ccance) package COUPONS BEPLALS SscUne THE ABOVE.

Members Entitled to Pay When Prop- erly Ordered Out. Mr. Bowers, acting controller of the treasury, has made a decision which Is of pecuniary interest to members of the Dis- trict National Guard who are in the em- ploy of the government. It is in effect that they are entitled to leave of absence with pay when properly ordered out for annual parade, regardless of the purpose of such parade, whether for rifle practice, inspec- tion or other military purpose. The decision is based on a question raised by the public printer “Whether the em- ployes of this (his) office who are members of the National Guard of the District of Columbia are entitled to compensation for the time they are absent under the follow- ing order, dated September 21, 186, and is- sued by the commanding officer of the Na- tional Guard: ‘The annual parade of the troops of the National Guard will take place as follows. * * * Government em- ployes will be given certificates for one day of duty performed under the requirements of this order.’ ” In his response to this in- quiry, the acting controller said: “As sec- tion 49 of the act of March 1, 1889 (25 Stat., 779), specifically provides that employes of the United States shall be allowed leave of absence without loss of pay or time on all days of any parade or encampment under lawful authority, I have the honor to ad- vise you that employes absent in obedience to the above-quoted order for an annual parade are entitled to leave without loss of pay on furnishing a proper certificate that the duty has been performed.” —_+-2+____ MONEY NOT STOLEN. It Had Disappeared, but Was in Safe Keeping. This morning, when a report was circu- lated that a $1,200 robbery had been com- mitted at the house of Mr. Brice, 408 Rhode Island avenue northwest, Lieut. Gessford hurried two officers to the house to make an investigation. reached the house the excitement had sub- sided, found where it was not lost. But when the officers for the missing money had been Mr. Brice, the owner of the money, is ill. He is unconscious, and his end is soon ex- pected. The sick man is nearly seventy years old, and his young wife knowing he had the amount mentioned in the house only a few days ago, made an investigation this morning to see whether or not the money was safe. And when she discovered that the place where it had been kept was no longer its place of keeping she became and naturally suspected that burglars had been about. The loss of so much money, just at this Meant a great deal of trouble for her, and as soon as she com- menced making inquiries and telling of the supposed loss the whole neighborhood knew of her troubles. But when the police reached the house the money had been restored to the young wife. The husband had given it to a mar- ried son for safe keeping during his illness, and had neglected to tell his wife of what he had done before he became unconscious. When the son heard of his stepmother’s trouble he was very much surprised to learn that she did not know that he had pueemoney, and he promptly turned it over er. ——__+—___ SELF-DEFENSE. Palmer Not Held for the Killing of Sloane. The grand jury this afternoon !gnored the charge made against John Palmer of mur- dering Ollie Sloane, the 22d of last August, and Judge Cole ordered that Palmer te re- leased from custody, also Guy Bethel, who was held as a government witness. It appeared that the men, negroes, te- came involved in a quarrel over a sweater near Maryland avenue and 4% street the night of the day in question, when Palmer shot Sloane, almost instantly killing him. Early next morning Palmer surrendered himself to the police authorities. He had a bullet wound in his face, and frankly ad- mitted killing Sloane. But he ‘nsisted that he fired in self-defense, showing his wound in corroboration, and the grand jury, after examining a number of witnesses, con- cluded that Palmer had told the truth, aud therefore refused to indict him. UNION VETERAN LEGION Reduced Rates on Railroads Will Augment Encampment Crowds. Chairman Wine Urges All Citizens to Join in a General Decoration of Buildings. Chairman Levi P. Wright of the execu- tive committee has. been advised that the various railroad nes ,have authorized a rate based on one fare for the round trip, instead of a fare and one-third on the cer- tificate plan, which was heretofore the best rate named. Tickets are to be sold, and will be good coming to this city on the 12th, 13th and 14th, an& will be good re- turning until the 25th’'1riclusive. This action on the part of the raflroads will largely increase 'the attendance, and @ good representation from every encamp- ment in the country is'now confidently ex- pected. It is believed that not less than six thousand members of, the order, with an equal number of ladies: and visitors, will be present at the reunion. The added third in excess of.one fare kad served to dis- courage many from making preparations to come, but with this barrier removed the attendance will doubtless be general. L. D. Wine,’ chairtnah *6f the committee on decorations for the Union Veteran Legion encampment, has sent the follow- ing letter to.the members of his committee. Ferty-one piominent gentlemen comprise the membership of the committee, being Messrs. Frederick Gheen, B. F. Whiteside, W. G. Duckett, Dr. W. S. Thompson, F. J. Heliberger, Charles A. Shafer, Frank Noyes, James F. Oyster, John A. Luttrell, Seaton Perry, William D. Hoover, George W. Har- yey, Beriah Wilkins, George A. White, Richard B. White, George W. Driver, Chas. Leannarda, W. H. Seller, A. B. Ruff, A. L. Reed, J. Blake Kendall, Robert Cohen, John S. Wheeler, T. T. Lockett, J. Hart Brit- tain, Fritz Reuter, George Emrich, J. M. Whitney, J. Speidt, Walter Burton, J. W. Lee, R. P. Emerson, Charles Mades, A. Minster, Henry Dismer, James F. Connors, J. T. Jarvis, Bernard Bryan, George J. atostler, George W. Moss and John C. May- nurd. The letter is as follows: “As you have been previously informed, you are a member of the committee on dec- oratiors on the occasion of the visit of the Union Veteran Legion to our city. They will be here on the 14th, 15th and 16th of the current month. “All good citizens take a pride in having our city look its best when our friends from a distance visit us, and it is particu- larly desirable to have it look so on this oc- casion. There are just two duties which, as a member of the committee, it is hoped and believed you will take pleasure in per- forming: First, to decorate your own prem- ises, and, second, do everything in your power to stimulate your neighbors to do likewise. “There will be no meeting of my com- mittee, as this notice embodies all that I could say to you in meeting. It you will kindly call at my office, No. 916 F street northwest, in the morning of the 13th in- stant you will be furnished with a hand- scme bronze badge to be worn during the encampment.”” Chairman Wine, it will be seen, relies upon the patriotism of the citizens, which has heretofore been so often exemplified, to appropriately decorate their places of business and residences in honor of the visiting soldiers, and ft is believed that this will be spontaneously done without any per- sonal solicitatioa on the part of the chair- man or the members of his committee. Se ARRIVED HOME. The Girl Who Was Lost for Thirteen Years. Lillian Zenobia Daly, the colored girl who was abducted from here thirteen years ago, when she was but five years old, and who was located in San Fraacisco a short time ago, as published exclusively in The Star, reached here about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and was met at the Balti- more and Ohio depot by Lawyer R.S. Smith, who has taken so active an interest in the case, and her two aunts, daughters of Mrs, Rachael Moore, her grandmother. As published in The Star some time ago, the child was taken from here by Emma Swann and carried out west. All these years the girl's mother, has been search- ing the country for her, and now her health is very much impaired. She is now in Boston, but will probably soon return home to see her daughter. Mrs. Moore, the grandmother, was not able to send for the girl, and she hardly knew how she could. get her home. But Major Crowley, chief ef police of San Frarcieco, had the authorities send her as far as Chicago, and he paid her way from that city to her home... Tkere was great rejoicing in the home of the grandmother ,when the girl reach- ed there, and she was treated even more kir¢ly than the average prodigal eon. — To Show Cause. Judge Hagner, in the Probate Court, sign- ed an order today requiring Sigmund J. Block, surety of Rebecca Shallcross, gvardian of the minor children of the late Henry C. Shallcross and herself, to show cause, Friday next, why he should‘not be punished for contempt for falling to obey an order of the court of the ist of last July. The order passed that day required Mr. Block to pay into the registry of the court the sum of $115.25, admitted by him to be due to the said wards; also the sum of $52.10, claimed by him to have been used by him in paying a note; the sum of $75, claimed to have been paid by him as rent to Dr. Hazen, as well as the sum of $73 as attorney, fee and for trip to Wheeling, .
