A connecting driveway betwean the old civil war forts that skirt the National Capital, long advocated by the Board of Trade, Is one of the projects that may be brought to a reality through the proposed resur- wvey of the District highway system. In reporting the new District bill the Senate appropriations committee inserted a clause appropriating $50,- 000 for a study to determine what changes should be made in outlying Pgres of the city.

FIGURES IN OTHER CITIES More Labor for Less Pay Here Than in Other Municipalities Shown, Although employes of the District of Columbia building inspection depart- ment are paid less for thelr services than employes having:like duties fn other clties of comparable sise, they are re- quired dally to turn out an average of about 50 per cent more work per man than other citfes deem reasonable, ac- cording to data obtained from out-of- town bullding defartments, through the Washington Real Estate Board. For example, the Washington build- ing inspector manages to examine, conservatively, an average of fifteen building operations during one day of ork. In Pittsburgh, however. the crisis” caused during the past year (when greatly incfeased cons uction jactivity burdened the individual in- spectors with the necessity of viait- |ing an average of ten operations each {day led to a speclal request by the | Superintendent of buildings to the city council that the number of bulld- ing Inspectors be doubled next year. _ Further Comparison Made. | Pittsburgh at the present time em- ploys the same number of inspectors as Washington—nine—yet the great {increase in building referred to fell short of the National Capltal's total | valuation by $1.000,000. { In other” word the Pittsburgh building department indicated its | oBinion that each inspector. as a mat- ter of public safety, should.not be re- quired to inspect more than five or six operations dai A greater bur- den, was tmplicd, would detract {from the thoroughness of the in- i spections, with consequent hazards to public life and property Minneapolls also affords a basis for striking comparison in_ connection with inspectors’ duties. The average Minneapolis inspector is able to cover about a dozen jobs each day, accord- ing to James (. Houghton, head of the department, but the point Is brought out that five of the inspect- ors are allowed running expenses for their own automobiles, and the re- mainder are given adeguate street car fare allowance, viz., $10 per month. Thus the Minneapolls territory can be covered with marked facility, this dispatch resulting in greater number of construction operations inspected Washington Handicapped. Washington is seriously handi- capped in a transportation’ way, be- cause of insufficient funds for main- taining privately owned automobiles and motor cycles and for street car fares. In spite of this handicap, the | District men daily look after an aver- lage of fiftcen operations, and unless additional help is provided. growing construction activities in the District of Columbla will necessitate a heav. ier burden on each man. It is pointed out that with mounting dutles, efficiency of inspection necessar- ily must, to & certain extent, be sacri- ficed. Such sacrifices in the end are not economical, being conducive hot only to maladministration of regu- lations, but threatening the public welfare. THEATER DISASTER - CLAIMS ATTACKED Crandall and Associates File Answer to Suits in Knick- erbocker Case.

Equity, they as. sert, has no jurisdiction upon appli- cation of a claimant for damages in an action of tort to place a lien on real estate that defendants may have owned, nor has it any jurlsdictlon to interfere with or disturb any trans- action by the defendants with that property.
