The $3,000 unexpectedly found by Chair- man Smith, and which the law says must go on the streets, will prove of great bene- fit, and it is hoped that some plan will be found so that King street, the principal thoroughfare, may be repaired with soi up-to-date material from end to en Chairman Smith, in talking with The Star reporter, said he thought it would be well to impose a tax of one dollar each on bi- cycle: ey the money to be put on the streets.

There are many clti- zcus who would pay this dollar also. Chairman Smith is ar aggressive, active worker, and believes in having every street in modern condition. “There are, it is said, some cld fogies, however, in the present ecuncil who do all they can to tie the hands of progression, on the plan that what was good enough for their fathers should be good enough for them.

Ho om USE OF WATER METERS, A Recommendation of Acting En- gincer Commissioner Burr. Acting Engineer Commissioner Burr to- day made an important recommendation concerning the use of water meters. The recommendation came as an indorsement upon the application of a property owacr for relief from what he considered exces- sive charges for water. Captain Burr in passing upon the case says: “The only way to rate houses for water according to the amount of water con- sumed in the premises is through a meter. Any other system is but an approximation, based upon the number of fixtures, num- ber of consumers, size of house or other data. All such schedules are of necessity ‘more or less inaccurate and work unevenly, requiring consumers in certain cases to pay for proportionately more water than they use, and in other instances to pay for less. “The present system of rating houses for water rent in Washington upon the num- ber of front feet and stories high has been in use a great many years, and people have become accustomed to it, knowing what thei: water rents will be from year to year. It would, therefore, be inadvisable to change it unless it was positively a ce:- tainty that a more uniform schedule ct rates could be devised, and of this there is no evidence whatever. Therefore, until such time as all water consumers in Wash- ington can be supplied through meters, thus paying for the exact amount of water they use, the Commissioners do not deem it advisable to change the present schedule, a all houses must be rated according to —— FOR BEATING HIS WIFE.

Andrew Raedy was today held in $300 bonds to keep thé -peace, or, in default, to be sent to jail for three. months, by Judge Kimball, for threatening to do bodily in- Jury to his wife, Susan Raedy. The latter, who testified with great ap- Parent reluctance, told Judge Kimball that her husband had been drinking to excess for the past seven weeks, and during that time he had been almost a raving maniac. He had, since his spree began, beaten her six or seven times, and had_ otherwise ‘treated her.so badly as to cause her to fear for her life. She, however, begged the court not to commit her husband to jail, and asked that he be sent to a hospital, as_he needed medical treatment. Kimball replied that he could not y toa tal on @ conviction of the charge before him, as there was no alternative.

LIMITING DIVISION SPACE Thirteenth Street to Be Purged of Its Dis- reputable Honses, The Move Based on Complaints Re- ceived From Department Clerks— Commissioner Wight Decides It. Thirteenth street between Pennsylvania avenue and the Agricultural grounds will be purged of its disorderly houses, and the eastern boundary of the Division will be west of that street. Since Commissioner Wight came into office he has had this ™atter under consideration, and when he returns to the city next month it will be the first thing taken up. It will not be a hasty action on his part. He has studied the situation and believes this great thor- oughfare between North and South Wash- ington should be made respectable. Many complaints have been made against the tenants on the street by the army of clerks employed in the bureau of engravin and printing, the National Museum and the Agricultural Department. At one time the Street was under such vicious influences that it was dangerous to walk along it. Since the advent of Lieut. Amiss, however, a better condition of affairs is said to hav prevailed, although even now there is room for great improvement. Post Office Building Considered. While it is the desire of the Commission- ers to make this street respectable, pri- marily, because of its importance es a thoroughfare, the close proximity of the new post office building makes it impera- tive that the disreputable houses in the im- mediate neighborhood be moved farther away. There is no disposition at this time to move the Division, although such a thing was contemplated some time ago. At that time the section near the old observa- tory grounds was considered the best place for its reception, but the matter of removal to that point fell through. It is believed there is ample room west of 13th street to accommodate all the dis- reputable houses, but there is one embar- rassing feature of the situation. Many of the houses on 13th street are owned by the occupants, and if they are made to vacate it will be a difficult matter for them to realize anything from them. At the pre: ent time they rent for exorbitant prices, and the owners, many of whom are 1e- sSpectable people, would fight such a move. An Order Only Necessary. It would be an easy matter, howev for the authorities to clean out the street. All that would de necessary, it is said, would be the issuance of an order to the lieu- tenant of the precinct to notify the occu- pants of bawdy houses along the line.of the street 10 move within a certain cme. if they failed to obey the notice they could be raided, and the prospect of a jail sen- tence would soon bring them to a’ realiza- tion of the situation and convince them that it would be better to obey the man- date of the law. A short time ago when this matter was broached in an official way to one of the women who owned the property she re- plied that there was no power to compel her to move. The Commissioners could break up her business, of course, but she Proposed to live there just the same. — When Doctor McCoy offered the $3 rate to new patients as well as to old he 4d not limit it to one mouth, but made it for the whole stmmer, ending it only with the Ist of September.
