Walter A Brown acting as attorney
for Braxton Jordan trustees of a tract
of land on the north side of Nebraska Ave
nue has entered a protest against the
riiMng of the grade on Nebraska Avenue
some six or seven feet and he says that
this grade has materially injured the val
ue of the land in question
The matter wis referred to the Street
Department and Moirls Hacker Superin
tendent of County Koads has reported
that the grade on Nebrapka Avenue was
fixed November 4 1J0S and that no change
has been made since that time He re
ports that the reason for making the
grade of Nebraska Avenue as It is Is
manifest upon examining grades of the
street extension plan for that section of
the District J W Dare Acting Cumput
Ing Engineer states that the grade on
Nebraska Avenue was established only
ufter the most careful consideration of nil
the circumstances and that to change It
now would be Inadvisable
A large part of the residents of the Dis
trict appear to be under the misappre
hension that communications relating to
the removal of garbage dead animals
etc fahould be addressed to the Health
Department Such Is not the case Under
an order of the Cemmlsioners of more
than a year ago the supervision over the
garbage service and the removal of refuse
from the city was turned over to the
Department of Street and Alley Clean
ing
Notwithstanding this fict the mails of
the Health Department contain several
complaints dally about the collection of
gerbagc ashes or dead animals and
these ull have to be turned over to the
Department of Street Cleaning It often
happens that notices of dead animals are
sent to the Health Ollice thus causing
delay In their removal
At the suggestion of the Health Officer
yesterday Commissioner Boss requested
the publication of the above facts for the
information and guidance of the people
of the District
Senior Assistant Chief Engineer Belt of
the Tire Department har arranged to test
the utility of stanelpipcs and h is selected
the business establishment of Messrs W
B Moses Sons Eleventh nnd F Streets
for the purpose This building Is equipped
with stindplpes running to the roof of
the structure and Chief Belt proposes to
attach one of the Fire Departments
steam engines to the standplpes noting
the time required to make the connections
anl the force of water when It reaches
the roof of the building and also at the
different floors Then he will have the
hose running from the plug and steamer
run up to the top of the building compar
ing the time required as well as the feirce
of water nt the different points with the
results obtained from the use of stand
pipes
The trial will take place Trlday morn
ing next at 5 JO thit hour being selected
as the one which will least Interfere with

the opinion that bitter time tan be made

I reported aderselv upon an application
from Mr McCuIIey to refund a portion of
I the rent paid for 33 foot frontage
because the bill as then stated was In
conformity with the regulations Con
tinuing Jlr Green sals
It appears that this Is a case where
the water rent according to the regula
tions is greatly In excess of what it
should lv for which reason I recommend
I mat tne oiuce oe auenunzeu i iwnc mi-
rating upon a frontage of fifteen uet on
the alley with the distinct understanding
that such action is not Intended to gie
any ground for action for the refunding
of any sum already paid in excess of such
frontage
Capt Chester Harding assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner In forwarding
the aboe report to the Commissioners
calls attention to the practice of the En
gineer Department under a ruling of the
Engineer Commissioner of several ears
standing that the water rent is to be
basd upon the least dimensions of the
general plan vt the house He sae that j
in conformitj with that ruling the bills
for the present ear and for the two years
1 Immediately preceding are erroneous and
Captain Harding recommends that bills
based upon the llfteen feet depth of the
i house be rendered and that the amount
paid In excess of the true amounts be rc
fundeel
This recommendation has receKcd the
I approal of the Engineer Commissioner

lumbia Polytechnic Institute for the

vrote to the Commissioners relative to
the water rent of the Institution He en
closed a bill for the rent and asked what
steps were necessary to secure exemption
from the assessment on the ground that
the Institute Is in the nature of r charit
able institution
The letter was referred to the Water
Department and George I Green the
Registrar has reported calling attention
to the language used in the appropriation
act of June 30 1S which provides
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia are hereby authorized to fur
nish Potomac water without charge to or-
phan asylums and charity schools
j to an amount to be llxed in each case
by the said Commissioners not to exceed
the rate of 100 gallons per average
capita of inmates per diem and for all
water thus used in excess of such an
amount the Institution shall be charged
at the prevailing rate for the use of wa
ter in the District of Columbia
The Columbia Polytechnic Institute for
the Blind says Sir Green has six in
mates and Leing a charity school comes
within the purview of the above cited
act As the number of inmates will doubt
less be Increased In the near future I
respectfully recommend the maximum al
lowance be allowed to said institution
Capt Chester Harding the Engineer
Commissioner In forwarding the above
reitui L iu lue twUjiiiiJiiuiit io vrfba th

institution be Informed that In order to
I secure exemption from water taxes It
I will be necessary to have the water ser

the Commissioners are authorized te fur

A SOEDIERS CLAIM DENIED
Pny for
n Trip ut Tsikcn
S S Kimball Acting Comptroller of
the Trcasurv held yesterday that a sol
dier discharged In our island possessions
may receive transportation and subsist
ence In kind without cost to him for the
sea portion of the journey on his actual
return to the United States If for any
reason however he does not accept the
transportation and subsistence offered
him or does not make the journey at all
there is no authority of law for the pay
ment to him of commutation of such
travil allowances for the sea travel
This opinion was rendere d on the appeal
of James Smith from the action of the
Auditor for the War Department Smith
claimed travel pay as principal musician
Eighth United States Cavalry from Camp
It S Mackenzie near Puerto Principe
Cuba to Havana place of embarkation
for Xcw Orleans La Tho Auditor al-
lowed for travel pay from Camp Mac
kenzie to Neuvltas Cuoa amounting to
11 SO and disallowed claim for further
travel pay on the ground that Smith was
paid travel allowances from New Orleans
to Fort Jleade South Dakota place of
enlistment In full
The Auditor said that there Is no law
authorlzlng payment of travel allowances
for the sea portion of Journey from Neu
vltas Cuba to New Orleans Iji and
In passing and sustaining the Auditors
action Mr Kimball said As the sol
dier did not actually make the Journey It
Is Immaterial whether or not the route
via Neuvitas and New Orleans was prac
ticable at the exact time of discharge

these svmptoms there Is apt to be more

The above symptoms continue with

Although hay fever seems to be excited
or Irritated Into activity by the pollen
of certain plants the real cause Is a con
stitutional predisposition All people who
breathe the same air are alike exposed to
these floating irritants yet only a small
number In each community have hay

that give relief contain cocaine that sim

must be resorted to so freeiuently as to
often fasten the cocaine habit upoft the
poor hay fever victim and subject him
to the thraldom of a drug that enslaves
