Over Twelve Thousand Structure U&nm inert 1 I'hc lien During One Your ImjioHwible to Aioid Delnj In the Work: ot Iie Olllcc AVltli tne Limit imI uiuuer of EiiioIojoh. An interesting portion of the D stiict appropriation bill which will be discussed by Congress during the present session Is that portion of it which bears directly up on the ofllce of the Inspector of Buildings Inspector Bradj shows In nis annual re port that the business" of his office has greatlv- increased during the last few j ears, and that an increased force is neces sarj. The volume of business has become so great that the present foice in the office cannot handle it. There are at present in the office of the Building Inspector five assistant inspectors, who have inspected 12,369 buildings during the j ear. The condition of affairs in the office is best explained by the Inspsctor in a report xo the Commissioners on this mat ter Inspector Bradj sajs: 'Year after j ear recommendations have been made having in view an increse in the number of emplojes for this office, to meet the increasing demands of the public, with out succcv I have been frequentlj con fronted with applications for examinations of both new and old construction so numer ous th it the small force at mj command could not nach the cases with that prompt-nefil- that would avoid delaj in the progress of the work of the applicants. "The building community ha3 a!wajs conceded that this department has accom plished all that can be expected frost it, equipped as It is with such a small force We have exercised all the phjical energj usuallj allotted to man in meeting the de mands made upon us, jet I find it Impossi ble to avoid arrearages in work and give to the communitv tint service it is entitled to "The District of Columbia has passed its era of inactivitj. and its rapid develop ment in both Its business and residential thoroughfares is shown by the manj build ings rectnilj completed and in course of erection To give this work the proper su pervision necccarj to ensure its execution In compliance with conditions exacted bj the legulatious, a force of Inspectors must be provided sufficient in number to meet the Remands the office is called upon to suppij "When vou reflect that the building area of the District of Columbia covers sixtj two squire miles it will be observed that it becomes a phjsical Impoosibility for four men to supervise the construction of build ings in a satisfactorj manner. Mj assist ants both in the office and in the field, are constantlj emplojcd and ever on the alert, jet I find that there are not a sufficient number of hours in a daj to give that in spection the importance of the work re quires 1 he number of inspections made in the held ir shown bj the statement above, namrlv 12 369 and incidental there to there wa a grtat amount of correspond ence "I have vi'itcd the building departments of other titles and find them well provid ed with nnplojes sufficient in umber to render effective service and I know of no reason whv Washington should not hive a building dppartment equal in cfhciencj to that of the best in anv other citj ' To piovide a service that will be possi ble to meet the demands of the public, I Leg leave to recommend thit the clerical foiee be inricaed bj the addition of two men one to assist in the examination of plans for buildings and the issuance of per mits ind the other to tal e care of the cor respondence of the asibtants, to enable them to devote their whole time to the fiVld The situation at present is such as to caue manj builders and others to com plain about tnc length, of time It takes lo get through with this branch of the busi ness It is an urgent necceitj to provide a clerk to assist the present efficient but overworked gentleman in this part of the office The coips of assistint inspectors should be mcreaed bj the addition of four men, inasmuch ae at the present time each man overs an area of fifteen and one-half square miles and bis duties comprise nof onlv the supervision of the new buildings and the alteration and enlargement of ex isting buildings, but the examination and disposition of complaints of a mlscellane ous character coming within the purview of the building regulations The number or inspections that these men have made has teen alluded to, and shows , the great amount of work thii"has been attended to and fuither emphasizes the fact that It has been sufficient in itself to justifj the em plojment of mere men, and as the citj im proves there Is imposed upon the office more laboi and responsibilities, so that the request to mcicase the efnciencj of the field inspection is a reasonable one and should be granted, esperillj as the safetv and secuntj of the lives of the communitj is in a great measure dependent upon the substantial execution of the work thej are required to inspect This result can on j be secured bj cloe observation and fre quent inspection bj a proper number of men. and the importance of the work cer tainlj justifies the recommendation here mide ' This office should be provided with an clcctriciau whose duties should be to in spect the installation of wires in buildings for electric lighting This important brajich of woik in connection with building should be subjected to a rigid inspection, to guard against the popsibilitj of fire originating from defective workmanship of this charac ter. The building regulations provide rules defining the method bj which this work shall be done, but as jet I have not been furnished with an assistant. "I beg leave to call jour attention to an other important matter, namely, the prep aration of a card index to include the rec ords of this office since its crcition. in 1876 Tne card index was commenced in 1S98, and I find that information can be obtained therefrom more expeditiouslj i"han from the book records that were kept up lo that date, ho I deem it expedient and for the best interest of the District to transfer the old index to tho card system, so as to provide a complete and valuable record of tho building operations To accomplish this it will require the services of two men for otic j ear, and an appropriation of $2,000 will he necesarj to cover all the expenses connected therewith." rutcnti of I,ootil Interest.

The funeral of Moy Dan, the Chtneso laund-jman who died at the Emergency Hospital Monday took place this morning in accordance with the Chinese custom and the bodj was interred in the Congres sional Cemctcrj-. Shortly after 10 o'clock eight Chinese friends of the late Moj Dan arrived at the establishment of Undertaker Lee, 332 Pennsjlvanla Avenue, in two carnages With their own hands they placed in the coffin of the departed friend a handful of tickets with which he might paj his way over the Chinese equivalent of th" Styx This rite done, thej placed the coihn in the hearse in waiting on the elevator, and with it descended to the street. A man mounted to the box of each car riage beside tho driver, and as tho cortege began to move threw handfuls of led, white, and green paper bits and streamers to the winds in order to frighten awav tho evil spirits supposed to be hovering around to enter and claim the bodj'. Thi- cere monj continued all the vvaj to the icrae terj. and upon arrival there the coffin was quickly removed to the grave and lowered. A few more words were spoken in Chi r?se, and the grave filled up, after which a roasted chicken, a few pots of preserves, y packet of tea, and several pounJs of (ice wre deposited upon the grave for the use of the dead man when hie spiiit re quired material refreshment. Incense sticks were place 1 in the earth about the grave, and their smokj fiagrance, it is believed bj the Chinese, drove all the va rious forms of ev II spirits avvaj and grant ed a peaceful entree to Moj Dan into tie first phase of Celestial life bejond the fomb While no arrangements have been made foi so doing, it Is generallj customarj fo a friend, from time to time during the first week after interment, to visit the grave and replace such articles of food as maj have been consumed, and Moy Den's comfort in this respect will probably be looked after by the friends whose generosi tj defrajed the cost of the cereaioi'es at tendant upon his death and interment.
