For  trust  funds   8,520  35 

Total  balance   410,708  08 

The  above  statement  shows  an  increase  in  receipts  from  taxes  and 
revenues  applicable  to  general  expenses,  as  compared  with  the  preced- 
ing fiscal  year,  of  $219,645.17,  and  an  increase  of  receipts  from  all  sources 
of  $321,026.40.  But  it  does  not  include  800,087.31  of  drawback  certifi- 
cates received  during  the  year  in  payment  of  general  taxes  under  the 
act  of  June  27,  1879. 

AKREARS. 

The  report  of  the  collector  of  taxes  shows  the  amount  of  arrears  on 
the  1st  July,  1881,  viz: 

On  real  estate   jgg^  374  go. 

On  personal  property   202, 803  06 

While  this  exhibit  does  not  give  evidence  of  any  decrease  in  the 
amount  of  uncollected  taxes  as  compared  with  the  last  fiscal  year,  it 
should  be  stated  that  the  arrears  for  personal  taxes  are  merely  nominal, 
consisting  chiefly  of  old  balances  which,  from  lapse  of  time  and  other 
circumstances,  are  not  now  collectible,  but  which  the  Commissioners  are 
not  authorized  to  remit  or  discharge.  It  is  very  desirable  that  some 
legal  method  should  be  provided  by  which,  at  stated  periods,  the  books 
and  accounts  of  the  collector  should  be  relieved  of  such  items,  and  he 
be  discharged  from  accountability  therefor. 

More  effective  legislation  is  needed,  also,  for  the  collection  of  taxes 
on  real  property,  by  which  valid  titles  may  be  assured  to  purchasers  at 
™  n  n  ^ant  of  such  assurance  is  the  chief  cause  of  delin- 
quency in  the  payment  of  taxes  on  real  estate

and  tends  to  repel  the  very  elass  whom  it  should  be  our  policy  to  attract 
to  the  capital,  cannot  be  either  wise  or  just. 

Since  our  special  report  made  to  Congress  on  February  14  last,  the 
collection  and  settlement  of  special  assessments,  as  revised  under  acts 
June  19,  1878,  and  June  27,  1879,  have  steadily  and  satisfactorily  pro- 
gressed. There  had  been  issued  under  said  acts  on  October  10, 1881, 
drawback  certificates  to  the  amount  of  $08-4,203.00;  of  which  $409,057.50 
had  been  received  in  payment  of  special  assessments,  and  $250,222.17 
had  been  received  in  payment  of  general  taxes. 

Leaving  unredeemed   $24,924  29 

To  be  issued  (estimated)   39, 914  07 

Total   64, 838  36 

The  amount  of  8  per  cent,  certificates  unredeemed  on  the  10th  of 
October,  1881,  was  about  $521,300,  leaving,  with  estimated  interest, 
about  $700,000  to  be  redeemed;  and  the  amount  of  uncollected  assess- 
ments pledged  for  their  redemption  was,  at  same  date,  $684,203.90. 
This  last  sum  does  not  include  interest,  alley  assessments,  street  rail- 
road assessments  now  in  litigation,  nor  assessments  against  the  United 
States,  amounting,  as  revised,  to  $821,205.  4. 

There  Were  on  October  10,  outstanding  in  the  hands  of  third  parties 
about  $200,000  tax-lieu  certificates,  issued  by  the  late  board  of  public 
works;  and  the  amount  of  uncollected  assessments  applicable  to  their 
redemption  was  $154,530.08,  showing  a  deficiency  of  about  $105,000. 
This  deficiency  is  the  difference  between  the  original  assessment  and 
the  amount  found  due  on  revision  under  act  of  June  19,  1878.  And  as 
in  most  cases  the  holders  of  these  liens  refuse  to  accept  the  drawback 
certificates  provided  by  said  act  to  cover  this  deficiency,  because  they  do 
not  bear  interest,  no  adequate  provision  exists  for  their  settlement  and 
adjustment. 

The  Commissioners,  therefore,  renew  the  recommendation  contained 
in  their  special  report  of  February  14,  on  this  subject,  that  the  unre- 
deemed 8  per  cent,  certificates,  and  all  unsettled  tax-liens  now  in  the 
hands  of  third  parties,  be  funded  in  3.05  bonds,  or  some  other  convenient 
form,  and  respectfully  refer  to  the  reasons  given  at  large  in  said  report 
for  this  recommendation.  For  more  detailed  information  in  relation  to 
this  and  other  subjects  connected  with  the  revision  of  assessments,  refer- 
ence is  made  to  the  report,  hereto  appended,  of  the  officer  in  charge  of 
said  revision. 

BONDED  DEBT. 

The  Treasurer  of  the  United  States,  ex  officio  Commissioner  of  the 
-District  sinking  fund,  reports  the  total  bonded  debt  of  the  District  of 
Columbia,  on  October  1  last,  at  $21,890,450,  which  shows  a  reduction, 
smce  .July  1,  1878,  under  the  operation  of  the  sinking  fund,  of  $210,100, 
^withstanding  the  additional  issue,  under  act  of  June  10,  1880,  ot 
£719,800  of  3.05  bonds  to  fund  the  floating  debt  of  the  District.  There 
haa  also  been,  since  that  date,  a  reduction  in  the  annual  interest  charge 
Of  $55,467.77;  and  the  amount  of  $70,000  of  3.05  bonds,  representing  the 
Washington  school  fund,  has  been  canceled  and  destroyed,  as  directed 
by  the  District  appropriation  act  of  March  3,  1881. 

With  a  view  to  the  unification  of  the  District  debt,  as  suggested  in 
last  annual  report,  we  now  recommend  that  the  Treasurer  ot  the 
United  States  be  authorized  to  redeem,  as  speedily  as  may  be  practica- 
we  and  advantageous,  by  the  issue  and  sale  of  3.05  bonds,  all  other 
outstanding  bonds  of  the  District.    Such  a  consolidation  at  the  present 


6        KEPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


market  rates  of  its  bonds  would  not,  it  is  believed,  very  materially  in- 
crease the  aggregate  of  the  bonded  debt  of  the  District,  while  it  would 
probably  result  in  a  considerable  reduction  of  the  large  annual  appro- 
priation now  required  for  the  uses  of  the  sinking  fund. 

This  appropriation,  made  to  meet  the  requirements  of  a  debt  which, 
numbers  and  resources  considered,  is  unparalleled  in  any  other  civilized 
community,  and  for  which  the  tax-paying  citizens  of  the  District  are  not 
responsible,  now  absorbs  more  than  one-third  of  the  entire  revenue  of  the 
District,  including  theFederal  contribution  of  50  per  cent. ;  and  it  leaves 
the  Commissioners  without  adequate  means  for  the  proper  support  of 
education,  for  the  improvement  and  extension  of  streets  and  avenues, 
and  for  other  indispensable  works  with  which  they  are  charged.  Con- 
gress alone  can  supply  the  deficiency. 


PUBLIC  SCHOOLS. 


Under  authority  of  the  fourth  section  of  the  act  of  March  3,  1881, 
making  appropriations  for  the  government  of  the  District,  the  parcels 
of  land  therein  described  have  been  sold  by  the  Chief  of  Engineers, 
United  States  Army,  and  the  proceeds  of  the  sale,  amounting  to  the  sum 
87,452,  have  been  deposited  in  the  Treasury  for  the  erection  of  a  high- 
school  building  in  Washington. 

Under  authority  of  the  act  of  March  3, 1870,  granting  to  the  District 
of  Columbia  for  school  purposes  square  No.  109,  known  as  Holmead's 
Cemetery,  and  of  appropriations  made  in  pursuance  of  said  act,  the 
bodies  interred  in  that  cemetery  have  been  removed  to  liock  Creek  and 
other  cemeteries;  and  this  valuable  property  is  now  available  for  the 
uses  to  which  it  has  been  dedicated,  whenever  the  Commissioners  shall 
be  authorized  to  dispose  of  the  same. 

The  four  new  school-houses  mentioned  in  our  last  annual  report  as  in 
course  of  erection  have  been  completed  (except  two  rooms  in  one  of  the 
county  buildings)  at  an  aggregate  cost,  not  including  sites  and  furni- 
ture, of  *S!),.),>l\24  The  two  located  in  the  second  school  district  con- 
tain twelve  rooms  each,  with  an  aggregate  capacitv  for  the  accommoda- 
tion ot  about  1,500  pupils,  and  are  models  of  convenience,  comfort,  and 
the  most  approved  school  architecture.  One  of  them  is  for  colored 
pupils  lhe  two  m  the  county  are  plain  but  convenient  and  substantial 
brick  buildings,  and  will  accommodate  about  400  pupils.

Federal  care  and  nurture,  shall  be  made  convenient  steps  to  the  vesti- 
bule and  halls  of  a  great  national  university  ?  This  was  the  wise  and 
patriotic  counsel  of  Washington,  and  its  value  and  obligation  have 
already  been  acknowledged  by  the  establishment  of  a  National  Bureau 
of  Education. 

The  wisdom,  culture,  and  worth  of  the  Union  may  reasonably  be  sup- 
posed to  be  more  fully  represented  at  its  capital  than  elsewhere ;  and 
the  people  of  the  Union,  therefore,  will  naturally  look  to  the  capital  for 
the  highest  types  of  their  institutions,  and  the  most  perfect  methods  of 
national  development  and  progress.  It  is  not  possible  that  the  local 
resources  of  the  District  of  Columbia  can  ever  meet  this  popular  demand; 
nor  ought  it  to  be  expected.  • 

For  detailed  information  in  regard  to  the  public  schools  reference  is 
made  to  the  appended  report  of  the  board  of  school  trustees. 

WASHINGTON  ASYLUM. 

The  south  wing  of  the  work-house,  which  is  a  part  of  the  asylum,  has 
been  completed,  making  the  total  cost  of  the  building  $37,063.52.  In  a 
few  days  the  female  convicts,  now  confined  in  the  almshouse,  will  be 
removed  to  this  wing,  and  the  evil,  heretofore  the  subject  of  just  com- 
plaint, of  keeping  offenders  against  the  law  in  contact  with  the  honest 
poor,  will  be  abated.  Many  other  important  improvements,  as  reported 
by  the  commissioner  and  intendant  of  the  asylum,  have  biten  accom- 
plished during  the  past  year  ;  and  it  is  believed  that  this  valuable  in- 
stitution has  never  been  in  a  condition  of  equal  efficiency  and  usefulness 
as  at  present.  Much  more,  however,  remains  to  be  done,  involving  in- 
creased expenditure,  to  meet  the  increased  demands  for  accommodation 
and  for  needed  and  indispensable  reforms  and  improvements.  We  in- 
vite careful  attention  to  the  intelligent  and  practical  suggestions  of  the 
intendant  on  this  subject.  He  again  recommends  the  purchase  of  a  farm 
for  the  use  of  the  asylum,  and  for  the  more  profitable  utilization  of  its 
unskilled  laborers,  in  which  the  Commissioners  heartily  concur. 

INDUSTRIAL  HOME  SCHOOL. 

The  new  building,  for  the  erection  of  which  provision  was  made  in 
the  District  appropriation  bill  for  the  current  fiscal  year,  is  nearly  com- 
pleted, and  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  before  the  1st  of  January.  Dur- 
ing the  past  year,  also,  other  minor  improvements,  including  a  conserv- 
atory, have  been  added.  The  new  building  will  provide  accommodation 
for  about  thirty  additional  inmates,  and  it  is  intended  as  an  experiment 
of  the  cottage,  or  family,  plan  of  administration  adopted  in  other  simi- 
lar institutions.  The  economical  management  of  this  home  for  destitute 
and  neglected  children  and  youth  of  both  sexes  has  enabled  its  public- 
spirited  and  self-sacrificing  managers,  at  very  stoall  cost,  to  dispense 
lasting  and  wide-spread  benefits  to  the  helpless  and  unfortunate  as  well 
as  to  the  public  who  indirectly  share  the  beneficent  results  ot  their 
labors. 

CHARITIES. 

We  again  recommend  the  establishment  of  a  board  of  charities,  to 
whose  supervision  the  management  of  all  charitable,  reformatory,  anu 
Penal  institutions,  supported  in  whole  or  in  part  by  the  District  ot  00- 
lambia,  as  well  as  all  expenditures  of  public  money  for  the  reliet  ot  tue 
Poor,  may  be  committed.    The  reasons  for  this  recommendation  are 


8        REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

given  at  large  in  our  last  annual  report,  to  which  attention  is  invited4 
Such  boards  exist  in  many  of  the  States  and  cities,  and  have,  as  we  are 
informed,  been  attended  by  favorable  results, 

INSPECTOR  OF  BUILDINGS. 

The  inspector  of  buildings  reports  that  permits  have  been  issued 
during  the  year  for  building  improvements  of  the  estimated  value  of 
$1,951,970,  which  embraces  the  stun  of  81,857,400  for  new  brick  build- 
ings whose  character  and  value  favorably  compare  with  those  of  like 
structures  erected  during  any  preceding  year. 

The  revenue  to  the  District  from  fees  for  these  permits  was  $3,237. 

The  inspector  includes  in  his  report  a  statement  of  the  damages  to 
property  in  the  city  by  the  storm  of  June  27,  1881,  which  amounted  in 
the  aggregate  to  $30,940,  and  accompanies  the  same  with  a  map  on 
which  the  course  and  extent  of  the  storm  are  indicated.  lie  also  gives 
interesting  data  in  connection  with  the  erection  of  new  school  buildings, 
and  the  condition  and  needs  of  other  public  structures. 

COLLECTOR  OF  TAXES. 

The  collector  of  taxes  reports  the  collections  during  the  year,  and  sub- 
mits a  detailed  statement  of  his  accounts.  He  again  refers  to  the  neces- 
sity for  additional  clerical  force  in  his  office  to  secure  a  satisfactory 
discharge  of  the  duties  devolving  upon  it. 

ASSESSOR. 

The  assessor  reports  the  transactions  of  his  office  during  the  year,  in- 
cluding statements  of  receipts  from  taxes,  &c.  and  the  value  of  taxable 
real  and  personal  property  in  the  District. 

fnin^°IUieCtl011  W-\?  the  8lll)-iect  of  Personal  tax,  he  states  that  the  re- 
turns from  intangible  property  are  rapidly  diminishing  in  consequence

directed,  except  the  fish  wharf  in  Georgetown.  The  Commissioners 
thought  it  best  to  hold  this  property  with  the  hope  of  commanding  a 
better  price.  A  fair  valuation  limit  was  placed  on  all  the  property  au- 
thorized to  be  sold.  Only  two  pieces  of  that  offered  reached  a  fair  mar- 
ket price,  viz,  lot  3  in  square  38li,  and  a  certain  parcel  of  land  in  the 
square  south  of  square  181,  belonging  to  the  United  States.  The  amount 
received  for  the  property  in  square  181  has  been  placed  to  the  credit  of 
the  District  of  Columbia  for  the  purposes  named  in  the  act. 

The  purchaser  of  the  property  in  square  382  has  not  yet  complied 
with  the  terms  of  sale;  alleging  as  a  reason  for  his  non-compliance  that 
there  was  no  authority  given  in  the  act  of  Congress  to  the  Commission- 
ers to  convey  the  said  property. 

The  balance  of  the  property  was  withdrawn  for  the  reason  stated,  and 
will  be  offered  again  when  a  better  market  can  be  obtained. 

POLICE  DEPARTMENT. 

* 

The  major  and  superintendent  of  police  reports  the  operations  of  the 
force  under  his  charge,  and  renews  his  recommendations  for  an  increase 
of  the  same.  The  extraordinary  extent  of  the  territory  embraced  in 
the  police  jurisdiction,  amounting  to  over  seventy-two  square  miles,  em- 
bracing the  cities  of  Washington  and  Georgetown  and  all  of  the  county 
of  Washington,  makes  the  duty  to  be  performed  by  the  very  small 
number  of  men  exceedingly  arduous,  and  does  not  afford  the  protection 
demanded  by  the  citizens.  The  major's  appeal  for  an  increase  of  men 
is  just  and  well  founded,  and  is  strongly  recommended  to  the  attention 
of  Congress. 

The  thorough  discipline  and  effectiveness  of  the  entire  police  depart- 
ment are  worthy  of  all  commendation. 

FIRE  DEPARTMENT. 

The  fire  commissioners  report  upon  the  condition  and  needs  of  the 
department,  and  forward  the  reports  of  its  subordinate  officers  for  the 
year. 

The  high  character  of  the  fire  department  for  discipline,  efficiency, 
and  untiring  zeal,  which  has  characterized  it  heretofore,  is  fully  main- 
tained. The  small  amount  of  loss  by  fire  and  the  low  rate  of  insurance 
upon  property  in  the  District  furnish  abundant  evidence  of  the  de- 
partment's faithfulness  in  the  discharge  of  duty.  An  additional  com- 
pany in  the  northeastern  section  of  the  city,  as  recommended  by  the 
fire  commissioners,  is  much  needed,  and  the  favorable  action  ot  Congress 
is  respectfully  invited. 

HEALTH  DEPARTMENT. 

The  report  of  the  health  officer  is  very  thorough  and  complete,  giving 
in  minute  detail  the  working  of  this  most  important  branch  ot  ttte  puo- 
lic  service.  The  statistics  and  tables  afford  reliable  evidence  ot  the 
healthfulness  of  the  District,  and  its  freedom  from  epidemic  diseases 
during  the  vear  a 

The  intelligent  manner  in  which  this  department  has  been  managed 
gives  very  general  satisfaction,  and  a  liberal  feeling  on  the  part  of  Con- 
gress will  make  it  vet  more  efficient.  The  suggestions  ot  the  heattn 
officer  should  receive  careful  and  thoughtful  attention. 


10      REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

WATER  DEPARTMENT. 

The  report  of  the  water  registrar  shows  that  the  number  of  persons 
using  the  Potomac  water  for  domestic  and  miscellaneous  purposes  on 
the  30th  of  Jane,  1880,  was  i  s.:;i3.  Of  this  number  664  have  been  con- 
nected during  the  year. 

The  receipts  of  the  department,  independent  of  the  tax  for  laying 
water-mains,  were  Sllo^iis.so.  The  expenditures  for  all  purposes,  ex- 
cept for  interest  and  sinking  fund,  were  $66,614.97,  The  amount  due 
for  interest  and  sinking  fund  for  the  ensuing  year  is  *42,230.  Owing 
to  arrears  due  to  the  sinking  fund,  the  amount  paid  (luring  the  year  on 
account  of  interest  and  sinking  fund  was  874,123.77. 

The  debt  of  the  water  department,  which  was  incurred  for  the  pur- 
pose of  laying  the  36-ineh  main,  is  now  $389,000.  The  stock  bears 
interest  at  7  per  cent.,  and  cannot  be  called  until  maturity  (October  1. 
1901,  and  July  1, 1903).  V  ' 

For  this  unfavorable  condition  of  the  debt  of  the  water  department 
there  appears  to  be  no  immediate  remedy.  Under  a  late  decision  of  the 
District  court,  the  fiscal  year  of  the  water  department  begins  on  the  1st 
ot  January.  The  Commissioners  are  of  the  opinion  that  it  should  be 
made  by  law  to  conform  to  the  usage  of  the  other  departments  of  the 
District  government. 

The  total  length  of  wa-er-mains  in  this  District  is  175.7  miles.  Of

• 

the  work,  put  it  in  condition  for  the  government  and  people  to  reap  the  full  benefit 
of  this  great  work,  additional  expenditures  must  be  made.  Believing  there  should  be 
no  divided  ownership,  interest,  or  control,  but  that  the  government  should  have  the 
complete  and  sbsolnte  ownership  and  control  of  the  dam,  conduit,  reservoirs,  and 
principal  mains,  the  committee  recommends — 

That  the  expense  of  oomple ting  t he  dam,  extending  the  conduit,  and  layiug  the 
connecting  mains  be  paid  by  the  United  states;  and  that  the  authorities  of  the  Dis- 
trict i>.'  permitted  as  heretofore  to  lay  such  pipe  as  may  be  necessary  to  distribute  the 
water  to  the  people,  and  to  erect  such  fountains  as  will  supply  the  necessities  of  per- 
sons not  able  to  have  water  brought  into  ther  houses. 

The  plan  approved  by  the  committee  will  undoubtedly  afford  a  suffi- 
cient  supply,  and  will  deliver  the  greatest  quantity  of  water  at  the 
highest  practicable  level.  The  Commissioners,  however,  are  of  the  opin- 
ion that  this  increase  of  supply  should  be  accompanied  by  a  corresponding 
increase  in  reservoir  capacity  in  order  that  the  water  may  be  delivered 
in  a  reasonable  condition  of  purity  for  domestic  use.  As  full  informa- 
tion on  all  subjects  connected  with  this  question  has  been  furnished  to 
Congress  heretofore,  it  is  not  necessary  to  enter  into  any  detailed  dis- 
cussion of  the  question. 

In  this  connection,  and  as  illustrating  other  methods  than  those 
heretofore  proposed,  a  study  of  the  Kock  Creek  Valley  has  been  made 
by  Lieutenant  Iloxie,  assistant  to  the  Engineer  Commissioner,  with 
reference  to  its  availability  as  a  reservoir  and  general  park.  While  the 
scheme  proposed  is  in  every  way  practicable,  yet  it  would  prove  more 
expensive  than  that  heretofore  recommended,  by  reason  of  the  large 
expense  of  land  condemnation  and  the  incidental  cost  of  proper  road- 
ways, bridges,  and  collectors.  The  board  is  therefore  of  the  opinion 
that  it  should  not  be  allowed  to  interfere  with  the  immediate  realization 
of  the  plans  heretofore  proposed,  and  which  have  received  the  approval 
of  the  committee  of  the  Senate 

PARKING  COMMISSION. 

The  parking  commission  report  that  they  have  planted  during  the  year 
1M34  trees  upon  the  streets  in  addition  to  53G  which  have  been  replanted 
to  fill  vacancies  caused  by  storms,  the  rigorous  weather  of  the  last  win- 
ter, accidents,  and  malicious  injuries.  They  have  thus  increased  the 
length  of  the  streets  which  will  ultimately  be  lined  with  handsome  shade 
trees  bv  about  live  miles.  As  the  trees  become  larger  more  expense  is 
required  for  their  general  care,  but  the  results  already  obtained  lully 
vindicate  the  methods  adopted  by  the  commission,  and  the  policy  ot 
continuing  the  present  annual  expenditure. 

surveyor's  office. 

The  surveyor  calls  attention  to  the  inadequate  provision  for  this  office 
and  asks  that  it  be  established  upon  a  more  reasonable  and  equitable 
basis.  Under  existing  laws  the  compensation  of  the  surveyor  is  derived 
entirely  from  fees.  The  fact  that  the  office  is  not  a  remunerative  one 
would  seem  to  be  established  by  the  resignation  of  the  last  incumbent. 
It  is  to  the  best  interest  of  the  city  at  large,  and  ot  m<li  vidua  Property 
owners,  that  the  compensation  of  this  office  should  be  so  fixed  as  to  se- 
cure and  retain  the  services  of  a  competent  man. 

PAVEMENTS.

miles;  rough  stone  and  cobble,  17.7  miles ;  macadam,  7.45  miles;  gravel 
32.25  miles;  wood,  lf>.7  miles;  unimproved ,  95  miles. 

The  Commissioners  have  continued  the  policy  heretofore  adopted  by 
them,  and  approved  by  Congress,  of  replacing  the  wooden  pavements  by 
asphalt  or  stone,  and  during  the  past  year  have  renewed  5.4  miles.  On 
the  1st  of  July,  1878,  there  were  34  miles  of  wooden  pa  vement  in  the 
city,  all  ina  more  or  less  decayed  and  dangerous  condition.  At  the 
close  of  the  fiscal  year  this  will  have  been  reduced  to  about  ten  miles 
containing  approximately  250,000  square  yards;  it  will  therefore  require 
two  years  more  to  effect  the  renovation  of  these  impassable  streets  and 
avenues. 

The  full  details  of  the  work  performed  and  to  be  done  will  be  found 
in  the  report  of  Lieutenant  Greene,  assistant  to  the  Engineer  Commis- 
sioner. 

The  operations  of  the  year  have  been  impeded  and  delayed  by  the 
combination  of  parties  interested  in  the  Importation  of  crude  asphalt.

ever  all  cause  of  complaint  arising  from  the  occupation  and  obstruction 
of  the  public  highways. 

The  details  of  the  plan  proposed  will  be  found  in  the  report  of  Lieu- 
tenant Hoxie,  assistant  to  the  Engineer  Commissioner. 

The  whole  matter  will  be  the  subject  of  a  special  report  to  Congress. 


THE  RIVER  FRONT. 


In  previous  reports  the  Commissioners  have  repeatedly  asked  the  at- 
tention of  Congress  to  the  condition  of  the  river  front  of  the  city. 

In  the  annual  report  of  1879,  their  views  as  to  the  proper  method  of 
conducting  the  reclamation  of  the  marshes  were  given  at  length.  It 
would  appear  that  the  time  has  arrived  for  action.  The  details  of  the 
proposed  work  have  been  carefully  studied,  and  the  conclusions  arrived 
at  can  be  presented  without  delay  when  called  for  by  Congress. 


TELEGRAPH  LINES. 


In  the  last  annual  report  the  Commissioners  called  attention  to  the 
obstructions  caused  on  the  streets  by  the  large  number  of  unsightly 
telegraph  poles ;  they  also  submitted  data  showing  the  large  extent  of 
underground  wires  now  in  European  cities  and  the  perfect  feasibility  of 
that  system ;  and  they  asked  that  the  rights  and  duties  of  the  telegraph 
companies  in  this  respect  should  be  defined  by  law.  No  legal  action 
has  as  yet  been  taken  in  the  matter,  but  the  Commissioners  have  taken 
the  responsibility  of  refusing  to  grant  permits  to  new  companies  to  erect 
poles  in  the  more  important  streets  of  the  city,  and  have  granted  these 
companies  the  option  of  laying  their  wires  underground.  Under  this,  the 
Mutual  I  'n  ion  Telegraph  Company  has  laid  its  wires  in  pipes  underground 
on  New  York  avenue,  from  Twelfth  to  Fifteenth  street,  and  on  First 
street  and  New  Jersey  avenue  from  I  street  to  the  Capitol,  the  total 
length  of  the  two  underground  lines  being  about  one  mile.  The  opposi- 
tion to  further  extension  of  telegraph  lines  on  poles  which  has  lately 
developed  in  various  cities  has  caused  the  production  of  a  number  of 
patented  systems  for  carrying  wires  underground.  The  Commissioners 
do  not  feel  obliged  to  enter  into  the  question  of  the  merits  of  these  vari- 
ous patents  as  against  the  system  long  in  use  in  Europe;  but  they  have 
no  doubt  of  the  perfect  feasibility  of  carrying  the  wires  underground. 
They  therefore  renew  their  recommendation  that  a  law  be  passed  com- 
pelling the  removal  of  all  telegraph  poles  in  the  city  within  a  reasonable 
time. 

SURVEYS. 

The  surveys  of  the  District  with  reference  to  the  extension  of  streets 
and  avenues  have  been  continued  during  the  year.  Thetriangulation  has 
been  completed  and  the  topography  carried  over  an  area  of  eight  square 
miles.  The  area  remaining  adjacent  to  the  city,  and  for  which  maps  are 
now  urgently  needed,  embraces  about  thirty-five  square  miles. 

The  object  of  the  survey  is  to  obtain  accurate  maps  of  a  scale  suffi- 
ciently large  to  make  proper  plans  for  the  extension  of  the  streets  and 
avenues  in  the  rapidly  growing  portions  of  the  county,  just  nortn  01 
the  city.  The  streets  hitherto  laid  out  in  that  section  do  not  conform  to 
each  other  or  to  the  general  plan  of  the  city,  and  an  alteration  in  their 
lines  will  be  demanded  as  soon  as  they  are  thickly  built  upon,  it  is 
very  important  that  this  error  should  be  avoided  in  streets  to  be  laid 
out  hereafter. 


14      REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


SEWERS. 


The  New  York  avenue  intercepting  sewer  lias  been  completed,  and 
performs  its  work  satisfactorily.  The  records  of  the  year  sustain  the 
accuracy  of  the  calculations  upon  which  the  sewer  was  designed. 

Work  on  the  Boundary  intercepting  sewer  has  progressed  more  slowly 
than  was  desired  on  account  of  difficulties  encountered  in  the  lower  sec- 
tion  from  subterranean  springs  and  caving  banks.  That  difficulty  has 
been  overcome,  and  the  work  is  now  advancing  satisfactorily.  It  is 
proposed  to  begin  the  work  for  the  relief  of  the  northwestern  section  of 
the  city  by  constructing  an  additional  sewer  at  the  head  of  Slash  Kuu 
district,  and  an  estimate  for  this  purpose  has  been  presented.

demption of  over  $000,000  of  certificates  of  the  late  board  of  audit,  and 
signing  and  issuing  of  a  like  amount  of  3.65  bonds,  together  with  sign- 
ing and  issuing  the  bonds  in  satisfaction  of  the  judgments  of  the  Court 
of  Claims,  rendered  in  accordance  with  the  act  of  June  16, 1880,  and  the

to  the  payment  of  the  8  per  cent,  certificates  of  indebtedness  of  the 
District  of  Columbia. 

It  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  Congress  intended  that  the  Treasurer 
should  assume  these  additional  duties  and  responsibilities  without  the 
compensation  which  is  provided  by  law  therefor;  which  view  is  strength- 
ened by  the  fact  that,  in  appointing  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  to 
act  as  commissioner  of  the  Freedman's  Saving  and  Trust  Company  in 
this  city,  Congress,  by  section  5  of  the  act  of  February  21,  1881* (21 
Stat.,  327),  authorized  him  to  receive  an  annual  salary  of  $1,000,  in 
addition  to  his  present  salary,  for  his  services  as  commissioner  aforesaid.

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  49 

The  following  items  in  the  above  exhibit  of  receipts  were  collected 
through  this  office  for  use  of  third  parties  holding  the  liens  respecting 
the  taxes: 

Special  taxes — principal,  07,472.96;  interest,  $7,491.01   $14,963  97 

Od  account  general  tax  for  the  years  ending  June  30,  1872,  and  June 30,

Tot*l   22, 445  03 

A  large  percentage  of  the  personal-tax  balance  as  originally  charged 
against  this  office  by  the  assessor  of  the  District  of  Columbia  has  been 
discharged  by  revisement  and  legal  adjustment,  so  that  the  amount  of 
said  balance,  as  stated,  is  not  real;  and  in  this  connection  it  is  respect- 
fully asked  that  this  account  may  be  audited,  and  a  reliable  debit  bal- 
ance charged  against  the  collector;  also,  that  the  general  tax  balance  as 
charged  against  this  office  may  be  subjected  to  the  same  audit  and  re- 
view with  like  object,  for  by  act  of  Congress  approved  March  3,  1881, 
clearing  titles  of  church  and  other  property,  and  by  other  adjustments, 
the  a nea i  balance  with  which  the  collector  has  been  charged  has  been 
disturbed. 

On  the  30th  day  of  June,  1880,  it  was,  by  order  of  the  Commissioners 
of  the  District  of  Columbia,  made  the  duty;  of  the  collector  of  taxes  to 
review,  collect,  and  account  for  all  taxes  assessed  for  special  improve- 
ments. In  accordance  with  this  order  there  has  been  collected  upon 
bills  furnished  by  the  special  assessment  division,  in  bonds,  coupons 
(and  their  accrued  interest),  drawback  certificates,  and  cash,  and  placed 
to  the  credit  of  the  sev  eral  enumerated  accounts,  and  to  the  receiving 
officers,  as  directed  by  the  Commissioners  District  of  Columbia  in  sub- 
sequent orders,  amounts  as  follows,  viz: 

On  genera]  account  (/.  assessments  for  which  no  certificates  had  been 
issued  at  the  time  of  their  collection),  principal  only  $172,082  65 

On  account  of  assessments,  where  certificates  had  been  issued  and  held  by 
the  commissioner  of  the  sinking  fund  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  prin- 
cipal and  interest   186,171  99 

The  above  aggregate  amounts  of  receipts  on  said  respective  accounts 
were  severally  deposited  directly  with  the  Treasurer  of  the  United  States, 
less  the  amount  received  in  drawback  certificates,  which  was  delivered, 
as  subsequently  directed  by  the  Commissioners  District  of  Columbia,  to 
the  "chief  of  the  special  assessment  division." 

On  account  of  certificates  held  by  third  parties— First  National  Bank  of 

New  York  and  others,  principal  and  interest   38,260  19 

( ! his  amount  so  collected  turned  over  to  the  chief  of  the  special  assess- 
ment division  as  directed  by  the  Commissioners  District  of  Columbia.) 
On  account  condemnation  of  alleys  not  represented  by  certificates  held  by 

the  commissioner  of  the  sinking  ftind  of  the  District  of  Columbia   146  13

52      REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

This  amount  exceeds  the  collections  of  last  year  by  the  sum  of 
824.50S.S5 ;  the  total  increase  being  $33,712.32,  principally  from  com- 
mercial agents,  and  the  decrease,  $9,113.47,  mainly  from  bar-rooms 
and  fully  justifies  my  recommendation  of  last  year  for  an  additional 
inspector  of  licenses,  and  I  am  fully  satisfied  that  a  larger  expenditure 
in  this  direction  would  greatly  increase  the  revenue.

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  53 


PERSONAL  TAX. 

The  personal  tax  books  for  previous  years  have  been  settled,  except 
about  81,000  to  be  collected.  The  amount  unpaid  for  1881  was 
$33,071.77  on  July  1,  1881.  The  delinquent  personal  tax  bills  coidd 
not  have  been  collected  in  the  usual  way—that  is,  by  waiting  for  delin- 
quents to  come  to  the  office — and  it  required  vigorous  effort  on  the  part 
of  the  collector,  with  the  aid  of  this  office,  to  arrive  at  the  result  ob- 
tained. The  returns  from  intangible  property  are  rapidly  diminishing, 
owing  to  the  investment  in  exempt  bonds,  and  I  beg  to  refer  to  my 
previous  reports  for  recommendations  on  this  subject,  as  well  as  to  the 
mode  of  assessing,  &c. 

The  assessment  for  1882  on  personal  property  is  $9,066,272,  tax 
$144,994.08. 

COUNTY  MAPS. 

Mr.  Carpenter  has  not  yet  finished  his  contract  for  the  complete  set 
of  maps  or  plats  of  the  county,  but  those  which  have  been  furnished 
bid  fair  to  be  of  great  use  towards  a  complete  assessment. 

There  will  be  some  thirty  plats,  numbered  from  1  upwards,  beginning 
at  the  southwest  or  Mason's  Island  as  No.  1,  and  I  respectfully  recom- 
mend that  each  plat  be  lithographed  before  being  bound  in  book  form. 
The  cost  would  be  about  $300  for  100  copies  of  each  plat,  and  owners 
of  property  and  real-estate  agents  would,  in  all  probability,  buy  enough 
of  them  to  reimburse  the  District  for  the  outlay. 

The  placing  of  them  in  the  hands  of  parties  interested  would  lead  to 
the  correction  of  errors  in  the  subdivisions  of  property. 

This  expenditure  would  be  borne  by  the  balance  of  the  $3,000  appro- 
priation for  maps. 

NEW  DISTRICT  OFFICES. 

A  new  building,  erected  for  all  the  needs  of  the  District,  is  very  de- 
sirable for  the  protection  of  the  records  and  the  proper  manipulation  of 
the  different  departments  of  the  service. 

I  submit  herewith  an  estimate  of  the  expenses  of  this  office  for  the 
fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1883. 

Very  respectfully,  ROB.  P.  DODGE, 

Assessor,  District  of  Columbia.

own  time  is  mostly  taken  up  in  the  office  and  in  attending  to  the  con- 
struction and  repairs  of  District  buildings.  The  building  regulations 
make  sufficient  provision  for  proper  construction,  aud  under  them  the 
construction  of  buildings  is  greatly  superior  to  what  it  was  before  they 
were  established,  but  with  at  least  300  buildings,  scattered  over  the 
entire  city  and  county,  in  course  of  construction  and  repair  during  the 
building  season,  it  is  impossible  for  the  office  fully  to  examine  and 
control  the  details  of  their  construction. 

There  should  be  at  least  two  more  assistants,  in  order  to  properly 
inspect  and  control  the  work  s  and  to  be  able  to  command  the  services 
of  competent  and  experienced  men,  the  salary  should  not  be  placed  at 
less  than  $1,200  per  annum,  which  outlay,  in  my  opinion,  will  well  repay 
the  public,  not  only  in  the  strength  of  construction,  but  also  as  to  safety 
against  fire. 

The  building  public  are  becoming  more  familiar  with  the  requirements 
of  the  regulations,  as  shown  in  only  47  notices  for  violations  having  been 
served  this  year  as  against  103  the  year  previous. 

The  damages  by  the  severe  storm  of  June  27,  while  great  as  to  the 
number  of  buildings,  were,  with  a  few  exceptions,  not  individually 
serious,  varying  from  $25  to  $1,500  on  private  buildings,  and  principally 
from  $100  to  $200.  There  were  damaged  175  private  buildings,  with  a 
loss  estimated  at  $30,000;  0  public  school  buildings,  at  $5,040;  and 
City  Hall,  at  $1,900;  or  182  buildings,  at  a  total  loss  of  $30,940. 

The  accompanying  map  will  show  the  course  and  extent  of  the  storm. 
The  damage  cannot  be  charged  to  defective  construction,  as  the  most 
substantial  buildings  in  the  line  of  the  storm  shared  the  same  fate  as 
buildings  of  lighter  construction.

The  appropriation  for  the  year,  being  $10,000  less  than  the  year  pre- 
vious, was  not  sufficient  to  make  all  the  needed  repairs,  and  in  several 
instances  it  was  necessary  to  curtail  the  expenses  as  requested  by  the 
trustees  in  the  several  divisions  in  order  to  keep  within  the  amount  appro- 
priated. nn  . 

The  appropriation  for  the  year  1881-'82,  being  again  reduced  $o,0 00,  is 
inadequate,  and  will  only  allow  such  repairs  as  will  make  the  unnumg 
comfortable,  and  as  the  number  of  buildings  is  increasing  and  the  exterior 
of  several  of  the  larger  ones  need  repainting,  the  appropriation  loi  tne 
coming  year  should  not  be  less  than  $20,000.  .  m^tmAmMmgk

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  57 


I  would  also  again  call  your  attention  to  the  necessity  (as  a  sanitary 
measure)  of  excavating  and  underpinning  and  finishing  the  interior  of 
the  east  half  of  the  Wallach  building,  which  I  estimate  will  cost  about 
$4,500. 

The  act  of  March  3,  1881,  appropriates  $104,000  for  the  erection  of 
four  buildings,  as  follows:  $96,000  for  purchase  of  sites  and  erection  of 
two  buildings  in  the  second  division,  and  $8,000  for  two  in  the  sixth 
(county).  The  law  required  the  plans  for  these  buildings  to  be  furnished 
by  the  Architect  of  the  Capitol,  and  approved  by  the  board  of  trustees 
of  public  schools. 

The  plans  and  specifications  were  accordingly  placed  in  my  hands  for 
construction,  and  proposals  were  at  once  advertised  for.  The  result 
was  that  the  bids  all  exceeded  the  appropriation  after  deducting  cost  of 
sites,  and  the  building  committee  of  the  school  board  therefore  author- 
ized me  to  omit  the  steam  heating,  as  it  was  an  appendage,  and  make 
some  minor  changes  and  readvertise,  which  was  done,  and  the  bids  came 
within  the  appropriations,  leaving  a  small  margin  for  contingencies  that 
will  necessarily  arise  during  the  process  of  the  construction. 

My  reason  for  referring  to  these  buildings  in  this  report  is  that  I 
wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  necessity  for  an  additional  appropria- 
tion, in  order  to  place  these  buildings  in  a  condition  to  be  occupied,  and 
for  which  I  estimate  as  follows : 

Steam-heating  two  buildings  in  second  division   $11,000  00 

Inclosing  and  improving  grounds  at  Tenth  and  H  street  school   1,297  50 

Inclosing  and  improving  grounds  at  First  and  Massachusetts  avenue   2, 825  00 

15, 122  50 

The  plans  and  specifications  furnished  for  the  two  county  schools  re- 
sulted in  bids  far  in  excess  of  the  appropriation,  and  the  buildings  were 
therefore  reduced  to  one-story  buildings,  in  place  of  two,  by  order  of  the 
building  committee,  which  brought  the  second  bidding  within  theamount 
available.  These  buildings  will  need  water-closets  and  coal-houses,  in- 
dependent of  inclosures  and  grading,  which  I  estimate  will  cost  $400. 

I  have  also  estimated  that  it  will  require  to  inclose,  terrace,  and  fit  up 
grounds  surrounding  the  new  high-school  building  the  sum  of  $3,119.40. 

Police  stations. 

The  third,  fourth,  and  eighth  precinct  station-houses,  owned  by  the  Dis- 
triet,  have  been  greatly  improved  and  put  in  good  condition  during  the 
past  year;  but  the  rented  buildings  are  not  in  proper  condition  for  the 
comfort  of  the  officers  or  safety  and  comfort  of  the  prisoners,  the  owners 
not  being  willing  to  spend  the  sum  necessary.  Those  buildings  have 
only  received  such  minor  interior  repairs  as  were  absolutely  necessary  to 
keep  them  in  a  sanitary  condition.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  only  by 
having  the  buildings  owned  by  the  District  can  they  be  made  properly 
arranged  and  adapted  for  the  purpose,  I  would  urge  that  as  soon  as 
practicable  there  be  erected  suitable  buildings  to  take  the  place  ot  the 
five  rented  stations.  The  amount  expended  for  repairs  to  station-houses 
and  police  headquarters  during  the  year  through  this  office  is  fl,177.0U. 

As  the  police  court  needs  some  extensive  repairs,  I  would  recommena 
that  an  appropriation  of  $2,500  be  asked  for,  for  the  next  fiscal  year,  ior 
the  repairs  of  police  stations,  police  headquarters,  and  police  court.

addition  to  the  repairs  recently  done,  will  place  it  in  a  condition  which 
will  compare  favorably  with  the  other  houses. 

No.  5,  in  Georgetown,  is  in  my  opinion,  not  worth  repairing,  being  in  a 
dilapidated  condition  and  unfit  for  the  purpose. 

I  would  therefore  call  your  attention  to  the  great  necessity  for  a  new 
building,  and  recommend  that  the  old  town-house  on  Bridge  street  be- 
longing to  the  District,  be  reconstructed  for  that  purpose.  Its  position 
is  well  adapted  and  it  can  be  made  an  engine-house  at  far  less  expense 
than  building  a  new  one  on  a  newr  site. 

The  repairs  to  engine-houses  done  through  this  office  amounts  to  $41(1 65 

To  put  No.  4  in  a  proper  condition  and  keep  the  others  in  good  repair 
will  require  an  appropriation  of  $1,500. 

Market-houses, 

The  market-houses  now  owned  by  the  District  have  been  put  in  a 
good  state  of  repair  during  the  year,  the  amount  expended  through 
this  office  being  $2,880.05,  and  it  will  but  require  an  appropriation  ibr 
the  next  fiscal  year  of  $1,000.  1

(Jr. — REPORT  OF  THE  FIRE  COMMISSIONERS. 

Office  of  the  Board  of  Fire  Commissioners, 

District  of  Columbia, 
Washington,  D.  C.,  September  5,  1881. 

Gentlemen  :  We  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  the  following 
statement  of  the  transactions  of  the  fire  department  of  the  District  of 
Columbia  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881,  an  estimate  of  the 
expenses  of  said  department  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 1883,  and 
such  suggestions  and  recommendations  as  are,  in  our  opinion,  essential 
to  further  increase  the  efficiency  of  the  fire  suppression  service. 

buildings. 

The  buildings  and  rooms  occupied  by  the  department  are  the  same  as 
at  the  time  of  the  last  report,  and  are  as  follows:  office  of  Board  of  Com- 
missioners and  Chief  Engineer,  room  26,  Columbia  building ;  central  office 
fire-alarm  telegraph,  corner  Pennsylvania  avenue  and  Fourth-and-a-half 
street,  northwest;  six  fire-engine  houses  and  two  truck-houses.  The 
chief  engineer  in  his  accompanying  report  again  calls  attention  to  the 
necessity  for  the  erection  of  new  houses  for  No.  4  and  No.  5  engine  com- 
panies, and  the  organization  of  a  new  engine  company  in  the  northern 
section  of  the  city.  His  recommendations  in  that  connection  are  based 
upon  valid  grounds  and  are  heartily  concurred  in  by  the  board.  In  re- 
gard to  No.  5  house,  we  earnestly  recommend  that  unless  it  can  be  sola 
speedily  for  enough  to  build  a  new  house  in  a  more  suitable  location,  as 
authorized  by  Congress,  that  you  will  press  upon  that  body  at  the  next 
session  the  necessity  for  such  further  legislation  as  may  be  needed  to 
enable  you  to  build  the  new  engine-house  west  of  Rock  Creek,  at  the 
earliest  possible  date*  If  the  new  house  for  No.  4  company  is  erected, 
the  present  structure  can  be  utilized  for  other  public  purposes,  as  sug- 
gested by  the  chief  engineer  in  his  report. 


60      KEPOKT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

APPARATUS. 

With  the  exception  of  the  three  Amoskeag  engines  and  the  old  truck 
the  apparatus  is  iu  good  condition.  The  old  truck  will  be  rebuilt  dur- 
ing the  current  year,  and  the  recommendations  of  the  chief  that  the 
three  engines  named  be  exchanged  for  new  ones  is  approved.  These 
engines  have  been  in  service  a  long  time;  they  necessarily  often  need 
repair  and  should  be  replaced  by  new  ones  as  a  matter  of  ecouomv  ™ 
well  as  safety. 

HORSES. 

The  horses  purchased  during  the  past  year  were  good  ones,  but  from 
various  causes  we  have  now  fewer  animals  than  are  essential  for  thP 
proper  conduct  of  that  branch  of  the  service.  To  prevent  creating  a 
deficiency  an  effort  will  be  made  to  get  through  the  current  year  with 
the  amount  appropriated,  but  the  larger  sum  asked  next  year  will  be 
necessary  and  should  be  granted.  1      wm  De

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  61 


certainly  better  to  expend  a  small  additional  sum  per  annum  in  strength- 
ening the  department  than  to  be  compelled  to  record  a  loss  of  property 
amounting  to  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars. 

DEFICIENCY. 

For  the  first  time  this  board  is  compelled  to  ask  for  an  appropriation 
to  cover  a  deficiency,  which  is  placed  in  the  estimate  at  $3,800.  This  is 
through  no  fault  of  ours,  but  is  the  result  of  entirely  unforeseen  causes. 
As  is  known,  the  estimates  and  appropriations  are  made  more  than  one 
year  in  advance  and  are  in  detail.  It  so  happened  that  the  estimates 
for  feed  for  the  current  year  were  based  upon  the  prices  paid  the  pre 
ceding  year;  but  an  unexpected  rise  in  the  price  of  forage  leaves  but 
money  enough  to  the  credit  of  that  particular  fund  to  purchase  supplies 
for  six  or  seven  months.  For  this  reason  it  is  necessary  that  the  sum 
asked  should  be  appropriated  to  supply  the  deficiency  and  be  made 
available  at  once. 

DISABLED  FIREMEN. 

We  again  call  your  attention  to  the  propriety  of  making  some  suitable 
provision  for  the  relief  of  men  disabled  in  the  fire  department.  The 
service  is  attended  with  many  risks  by  accident  and  exposure,  and  it  is 
only  just  that  when  men  are  thus  broken  in  health  and  incapacitated  for 
physical  labor,  they  should  be  retired  to  some  lighter  duty  under  the 
government,  or  placed  on  the  retired  list  with  a  moderate  salary.  There 
are  now  several  men  on  our  rolls  who  are  really  unable  to  perform  the 
active  duties  of  the  position,  but  they  are  retained  because  it  would  be 
a  great  hardship  to  discharge  them  after  they  have  become  thus  broken 
down  in  health  in  the  performance  of  duty. 

PERSONNEL  OF  THE  FORCE. 

The  efficiency  of  the  District  fire  department  is  best  shown  by  com 
paring  its  strength,  the  value  of  property  to  be  protected,  and  the  loss 
by  fire,  with  the  same  statistics  in  other  cities.  The  showing  thus  made 
is  very  favorable  to  this  department.  Much  of  its  success  in  fighting 
fire  is  due  to  the  personal  character  of  the  force,  the  result  of  careful 
selection  of  the  men,  and  their  appointment  during  good  behavior. 
Charges  against  the  men  for  serious  breach  of  the  regulations  are  com- 
paratively infrequent.  The  executive  ability  of  Chief  Engineer  Cronin 
has  brought  the  discipline  of  the  force  to  a  point  as  nearly  approaching 
military  strictness  as  is  advisable  with  a  civil  organization,  while  his 
good  judgment  and  varied  experience  in  the  suppression  of  fires  enables 
him  to  direct  their  operations  with  a  gratifying  degree  of  success.  He 
is  ably  seconded  by  his  assistant,  Col.  W.  O.  Drew.  Their  efforts  would 
not,  however,  always  avail  if  it  was  not  for  the  saving  of  valuable  time 
by  the  prompt  signaling  of  alarms  and  the  prompt  movement  of  the 
force  in  response.  The  fire  alarm  telegraph,  under  the  intelligent  super- 
vision of  Superintendent  Miles,  works  admirably,  and  has  been  the 
means  of  saving  large  amounts  of  property.  The  system  should  be  ex- 
tended to  keep  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  city. 

We  are,  with  great  respect,  gentlemen,  your  obedient  servants,

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  63 


MEMBERSHIP. 


The  department  as  at  present  constituted  is  composed  of  95  officers 
and  members,  divided  as  follows:  Three  commissioners,  one  chief  en- 
gineer,  one  assistant  chief  engineer,  eight  foremen,  six  engineers,  two 
tillermen,  six  firemen,  eight  hostlers,  fifty-four  privates,  three  watchmen, 
one  superintendent  of  tire-alarm  telegraph,  two  operators  of  fire-alarm 
telegraph. 

HOUSES 

The  houses  are  eight  in  number,  and  six  of  them  are  in  good  condi- 
tion, and  will  only  need  the  usual  incidental  repairs.  No.  4,  located  on 
Virginia  avenue,  between  Fourth-and-a-half  and  Sixth  streets  south- 
west, which  was  never  fitted  for  the  purpose,  either  by  location  or  con- 
struction, should  be  diverted  to  some  other  purpose,  and  a  new  and 
improved  house  erected  on  a  more  suitable  site.  The  rear  portion  of 
the  property  on  which  it  is  at  present  located  is  used  as  a  stable  for  all 
the  horses  (other  than  fire  department)  belonging  to  the  District,  under 
the  control  of  the  superintendent  of  property,  and  it  is  suggested  the 
building  may  be  used  by  that  branch  of  the  service  as  a  storehouse,  or 
together  with  the  lot  be  sold,  and  the  proceeds  applied  toward  the  erec- 
tion of  the  new  house.  The  house  of  No.  5  company,  located  on  High 
near  Bridge  street,  West  Washington,  is  not  only  very  dilapidated,  but 
absolutely  unsafe.  During  the  last  session  of  Congress  a  bill  was  passed 
authorizing  the  sale  of  certain  District  property  in  Georgetown,  and 
directing  that  the  proceeds  therefrom  should  be  applied  to  the  purchase 
of  a  site,  and  the  erection  and  furnishing  of  a  new  house  for  No.  5  com- 
pany. In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  act,  the  property  was  offered 
at  public  auction,  but  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  deeming  the 
amounts  bid  too  small,  the  sale  was  not  consummated,  and  as  a  conse- 
quence the  company  are  still  in  their  old  tumble-down  and  totally  inade- 
quate quarters.  Iii  view  of  this  fact,  I  again  urge  that  an  appropriation 
be  made  which  shall  be  available  at  once  for  this  purppose.  No.  5  is 
the  only  company  located  in  West  Washington,  and  the  people  of  that 
portion  of  the  District  have  a  right  to  demand  that  it  shall  be  properly 
accommodated. 

As  has  been  stated  in  previous  reports,  a  new  house— and  com- 
pany—is an  absolute  necessity  in  the  northern  section  of  the  city,  and 
I  most  respectfully  urge  that  the  proper  steps  for  the  erection  of  one  be 
taken  immediately. 

APPARATUS. 

The  apparatus  on  hand  consists  of  eight  engines,  eight  hose-carriages, 
three  hook-and-ladder  trucks,  and  one  fuel  wagon.  Five  of  the  engines 
are  in  good  and  three  in  fair  order.  The  hose-carriages  are  all  in  good 
condition,  and  two  of  the  trucks,  with  ordinary  repairs,  will  last  tor 
several  years.  The  fuel  wagon  is  new.  The  three  Amoskeag  engines, 
rated  as  fair,  have  been  in  service  since  the  organization  of  the  depart- 
ment, fifteen  years  ago,  and,  as  a  matter  of  economy  as  well  as  satety, 
I  earnestly  renew  my  recommendation  of  last  year,  that  they  be  ex- 
changed for  new  ones.  The  third  truck  is  very  much  out  of  repair,  but 
will  be  rebuilt  during  the  year,  an  appropriation  having  been  made  tor 
that  purpose. 

HOSE. 

There  is  now  in  the  department  12,600  feet  of  fabric  hose  in  good, 
1,300  feet  in  fair,  and  3,500  feet  in  bad  or  unserviceable  condition. 


64      REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

There  are  also  400  feet  of  worn-out  leather  hose.  As  the  average  dura- 
tion of  hose  is  between  three  and  four  years,  and  as  it  is  necessary  there 
should  be  no  lack  of  this  article,  we  are  required  to  purchase  each  year 
a  .sufficient  quantity  to  keep  the  companies  well  supplied,  and  also  to 
make  good  any  extraordinary  deficiency  which  may  occur. 

HORSES. 

There  are  now  in  the  department  thirty-five  horses,  of  which  thirty-two 
are  in  active  service.   During-  the  year  eight  worn-out  condemned  ani 
mala  were  exchanged  for  three  good  ones,  and  eight  new  ones  were  our 
chased.   On  account  of  the  severe  weather  and  heavy  snow  in  Decern 
her  1880  it  became  necessary  to  secure  additional  horses,  and  accord 
nigly  eight  were  hired  for  a  period  of  over  a  month.    During  that  time 
they  were,  ot  course,  housed  and  fed  in  the  engine-houses,  and  as  a  con 
sequence  the  feed  item,  for  which  the  original  appropriation  proved  to 
be  too  small,  was  considerably  increased.    For  this  and  for  the  hire  of 
SiSE^  contingent  fand,  a  deficiency  ap

inch  main  be  placed  around  the  building,  additional  plugs  erected,  and 
that  at  least  two  cisterns  be  constructed  in  that  locality,  for  besides  the 
Printing  Office  there  are  in  that  neighborhood  several  hundred  buildings 
erected  in  rows,  many  of  them  without  even  brick  partition  walls,  and 
all  liable  to  rapid  destruction  in  the  event  of  a  fire  without  a  full  sup- 
ply of  water. 

FIRE-ESCAPES. 

Under  the  existing  building  regulations,  which  are  supposed  to  have 
all  the  force  and  effect  of  law,  the  inspector  of  buildings  is  required  to 
inspect  all  buildings  "  occupied  as  a  hotel,  boarding  or  lodging  house, 
factory,  mill  or  manufactory,  or  for  offices  or  workshops  in  which  per- 
sons are  employed  above  the  second  story,  and  if  in  his  opinion  such 
building  is  not  provided  with  proper  facilities  for  the  escape  of  persons 
in  case  of  fire,  be  shall  immediately  serve  a  notice  in  writing  upon  the 
owner  or  owners,  agent  or  other  party  or  parties  having  an  interest  in 
said  building,  requiring  the  necessary  additional  facilities  to  be  provided 
without  delay"  5  said  notice  is  subject  to  an  appeal  provided  by  the  regu- 
lations. 

I  regret  to  say  this  rule  has  not  been  generally  observed,  and  that, 
with  but  few  exceptions,  the  largo  buildings  are  without  the  necessary 
means  for  escape  in  the  event  of  a  fire.  1  urge  that  stringent  measures 
be  adopted  to  enforce  a  proper  compliance  with  this  very  essential  por- 
tion of  the  law.  I  renew  my  recommendation  of  last  year,  that  in  addi- 
t  ion  to  fire-escapes  on  all  the  hotels  and  government  buildings  and  places 
of  amusement  in  the  city,  iron  ladders  reaching  from  the  ground  to  the 
roof  be  erected  and  kept  in  position  at  all  times,  thus  providing  a  mode 
of  reaching  or  escaping  from  the  roof  in  time  of  fire.  Such  ladders  could 
be  placed  against  inside  or  court-yard  walls  of  the  public  buildings,  and 
in  the  others  suitable  places  could  be  found  so  as  not  to  mar  the  appear- 
ance of  the  building.  I  notice  that  many  of  the  merchants  have  been 
permitted  to  erect  upon  the  tops  of  their  buildings  large  sign-boards, 
mostly  of  wood.  This  is  a  most  dangerous  practice,  for  in  the  event  of  a 
large  "fire  they  are  liable  to  be  lifted  by  the  heat  and  in  a  burning  con- 
dition carried'  squares  distant,  to  the  imminent  danger  of  other  property. 
Further  than  this,  in  the  business  portion  of  the  city  all  large  mercan- 
tile houses  should  be  furnished  with  iron  shutters. 

FIRES  AND  LOSSES. 

An  accompanying  table,  marked  A,  shows  that  during  the  year  end- 
ing June  30, 1881,  there  were  107  alarms,  of  which  97  were  tor  actual  fires, 
2  chimnevs  on  fire,  and  8  false  alarms.  The  actual  fires  involved  an 
alleged  loss  of  $38  920,  with  an  insurance  of  $28,700.  Table  B  shows 
the  number  of  fires  and  the  amount  of  losses  from  the  organization  ot 
the  department  to  date.  By  reference  to  it,  it  will  be  seen  that  the 
losses  for  1881  were  $94,530,  less  than  for  1880,  and  *<  0,1  <  3,  less  than 
the  average  for  the  past  ten  years. 

CONCLUSION. 

During  the  year  the'oonduct  of  the  men  has  been  gratifying,  the 
breaches  of  discipline  few,  and  attention  to  duty,  noticeably  on  the  fire 
ground,  all  that  could  be  expected.  In  conclusion  I  beg  leave  to  return 
thanks  to  Assistant  Chief  Engineer  Col.  Wm.O.  Drew  for  ^  Y^ble 
co-operation,  to  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  the

branch  of  the  public  service. 

During  the  fiscal  year  covered  by  this  report  there  were  one  hundred 
and  seven  alarms  of  fire  bv  telegraph.  In  July,  1880,  there  were  15 
alarms;  August,  3;  September,  6;  October,  7 ;  November,  10;  Decem- 
ber, 17;  January,  1881,11  alarms;  February,  0 ;  March,  10;  April,  9; 
May,  7;  June,  6.    Total,  107. 

During  the  year  the  old  line  of  poles  leading  from  Fifth  and  D  streets 
northwest  to  and  through  Georgetown  has  been  removed,  and  new  ones 
substituted,  at  an  expense  of  about  81,000.  The  telephone  service  has 
also  been  greatly  improved,  by  so  increasing  the  number  of  talking- 
circuits  that  each  fire  company  and  the  officers  of  the  department  are 
on  separate  wires,  but  so  arranged  that  any  two  or  more  of  the  circuits 
can  be  united  in  the  central  office,  thus  connecting  any  or  all  of  the  cir- 
cuits, as  may  be  required.  Magneto  call-bells  are  used  on  these  talking- 
circuits  for  calling  the  company  or  officers  wanted,  and  give  good  satis- 
faction. B  ,  ~ 

The  fire-alarm  telegraph  covers  portions  of  Washington  and  George, 
town,  but  quite  an  extensive  portion  of  each  are  practically  but  little 
benefited  by  the  fire-telegraph,  as  will  more  fully  appear  further  on  in 

this  report.  .  e    •  „ 

The  fire-telegraph  aggregates  about  200  miles  in  length  of  wire, 
divided  into  23  circuits--l  1  metallic  circuits  and  12  ground  circuits  (the 
latter  for  telephone  service).    There  are  80  signal-boxes  and  22  gong 

and  bell  strikers.  ,      ,         ,       . .  MA  +rk  _n_t 

The  lines  and  instruments  are  in  good  order  and  continue  to  work 

in  a  very  satisfactory  manner.  ,

°PTo\crease  the  efficiency  of  the  fire-telegraph  I  recommend  the  intro- 
duction of  not  less  than  75  additional  signal-boxes,  for  the  reason  that 
the  city  has  grown  so  rapidly  that  large  areas  are  so  remote  from  alarm- 
station's  ;is  toderive  little  or  no  benefit  from  the  fire-telegraph,  I  do 
not  deem  it  necessary  to  argue  the  matter;  it  must  be  apparent  to  all, 
and  needs  only  to  be  mentioned  by  way  of  a  reminder. 

An  additional  operator  and  two  repairmen  should  also  be  added  to 
the  force  of  tin's  office,  and  I  earnestly  request  that  it  be  done,  because 
ofreaJ  necessity  for  such  additional  help. 

The  cost  of  procuring  75  additional  signal-boxes  and  enlarging  the 
circuits  and  putting  in  operation  1  estimate  at  (15,000. 

To  defray  the  expenses  of  the  fire-telegraph  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1883,  provision  should  be  made  for —

Columbia,  also  the  commissioners,  otticers,  and  members  of  the  fire 
department,  for  their  courtesy  and  helpful  co-operation  in  bringing  this  t

also  due  and  tendered  to  Messrs.  Richards  and  Noyes,  the  operators,  and 
Thomas  Parker,  the  repairman,  for  their  efficient  and  faithful  services 
since  my  last  annual  report.  All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

H.-REPORT  OF  THE  ATTORNEY. 

Office  of  the  Attorney 
for  the  District  of  Columbia, 
n  Washington,  October,  1881.

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  91 


dated  and  were  tried  together  as  oue  case  till  the  memorable  overthrow 
of  Strong  heretofore  noted  in  these  reports,  after  which  they  were  severed, 
and  it  was  the  first  of  these,  so  long  and  faithfully  tried  by  my  assist- 
ant, Mr.  Miller,  aided  by  Mr,  Carnsi. 

Since  the  hist  disaster  described  in  my  last  report,  Strong's  counsel 
have  endeavored  to  transfer  the  cases  to  the  Court  of  Claims,  under  the 
art  of  Congress  conferring  upon  it  jurisdiction  of  claims  against  the  Dis- 
trict. Of  the  one  untried  in  the  District  court,  little  doubt  could  exist  of 
his  right  to  remove  it  to  that  forum,  if  the  District  had  not  acquired 
i  -his  by  its  set-off.  It  is  clear,  I  think,  that  our  court  will  retain  juris- 
diction of  the  other.  Indeed,  since  the  close  of  the  year  the  court  has 
denied  Strong's  motion  to  dismiss  the  case  without  prejudice. 

The  Young  case  remains  as  last  reported,  and  is  probably  substan- 
tially disposed  of  in  the  District's  favor. 

The  Morgan  case  was  tor  work  and  labor  on  the  James  Creek  Canal. 
The  auditor  repented  in  favor  of  the  plaintiff,  Morgan,  the  sum  of 
$3,224.47.  On  hearing  our  exceptions  to  the  auditor's  report,  the  court 
reduced  this  to  £;i,04!>.')L\  which  heads  our  list  reported  September  29, 
1881,  for  estimates. 

Browning  VS.  The  District:  On  the  second  trial  the  District  was  again 
successful,  and  the  plaintiff  removed  the  case  to  the  general  term  on  ex- 
ceptions, where  it  has  not  yet  been  reached. 

The  District  9$.  The  Sureties  of  Lubey,  late  water  registrar:  Case 
awaiting  trial  in  the  circuit  court.  1  trust  the  necessary  statement  of 
his  accounts  will  be  prepared  so  that  the  case  can  be  tried.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  the  commencement  of  the  suit  was  delayed  for  a  state- 
ment of  his  accounts  and  was  finally  commenced  in  its  absence.  The 
case  cannot  be  tried  until  this  is  furnished  by  the  officers  of  the  District 
to  this  office. 

The  District  vs.  The  Johnsons,  to  recover  rent  of  wharf  at  the  toot  ot 
Thirteenth  street  west :  The  general  term  reversed  our  judgment  m  this 
case,  which  awaits  retrial. 

In  the  King-  case,  a  satisfactory  disposition  was  made  by  the  court, 
and  sale  of  property  ordered.  It  was  found  that  to  secure  the  rights  ot 
the  District  in  the  premises,  certain  legislation  of  Congress  was  needed, 
and  the  tiual  closing  out  of  the  matter  awaits  the  action  of  that  body. 

Of  some  later  cases  I  observe : 

The  cases  of  the  District  against  certain  street  railroads,  on  account 
of  the  work  done  bv  the  late  board  of  public  works  for  paving,  are  now 
pending  on  demurrer  to  the  declarations  in  the  general  term,  to  which 
they  were  certified  without  hearing  by  the  court  below. 

New  difficulties  arose  out  of  an  opinion  of  this  office  concerning  tne 
application  of  the  liquor-license  law  to  the  departments  of  the  general 
government,  furnished  to  the  President  on  his  request,  lhis  opiniou 
was  submitted  to  the  Attorney-General,  who  never  overruled  it,  but  dj 
tacit  understanding  all  the  heads  of  the  departments,  except  the  I  ost- 
master-deneral,  disregarded  it,  and  this  office  held  that  m  the  absence 
of  legislation  by  Congress,  these  departments  might  be  regarded  as 
other  vacant  property  of  the  United  States. 

In  the  case  of  Miller  &  Jones,  to  compe  the  issue  of  a  license  to  them 
to  retail  liquor  in  their  building,  a  part  of  the  National  Theater,  toctaflf 
justice  held  that  they,  not  being  owners  or  proprietors  ot  the >  tl  catei, 
were  not  within  the  ordinance  prohibiting  license.  This  leaves  thehcens- 
Lng  of  bars  in  or  near  theaters  by  parties  not  interested  as  wnew  ot 
theaters,  within  the  discretion  of  the  Commissioners,  like  otjraroMM. 

Mrs.  Parker's  case:  The  judgment  in  this  case,  though  rendered  within

the  v»  ar.  lias  already  been  paid,  and  suit  is  now  pending  against  the 
( las  Company  to  recover  the  sum  so  paid,  on  well-established  principles 
of  law  recognized  and  enforced  by  the  United  States  in  a  similar  case. 
We  have  already  obtained  a  judgment  against  the  Baltimore  and  Poto- 
mac Railroad  Company,  in  a  similar  ease,  whore  the  I  district  was  mulcted 
in  damages.   This  ease  is  now  pending  in  the  general  term. 

Thompson  vs.  The  District  was  tor  a  mandamus  to  compel  the  Com- 
missioners to  issue  a  (haw  back  with  ten  per  cent,  interest  to  a  certiri- 
eate  holder,  and  refused  by  Mac  Arthur,  justice. 

Another  suit  by  the  same  party,  involving  the  same  matter,  is  at  the 
date  ofthisrepori  pendingiD  general  term.    J  entertain  no  doubt  of  the 

result. 

The  District  vs.  Forsyth  (at  one  time  deemed  of  the  greatest  impor- 
tance), ou  trial  resulted  in  the  return  of  the  missing  books  and  papers, 
which  were  found  to  be  no  great  value. 

McElligott  rs.  The  District,  is  a  ease  for  injury  to  the  person,  in  which 
he  has  recovered  a  verdict  for  $3,000,  and  is  now  pending  in  the  general 
term  on  our  exceptions.  It  is  one  of  those  unfortunate  eases  in  which 
a  jury  will  always  return  a  pretty  heavy  verdict  for  the  plaintiff  if  the 
case  is  submitted  to  it. 

Bailey  vs.  The  District,  judgment  $4,000,  included  in  our  late  list  of 
judgments,  is  another  case' of  real  merit  for  the  plaintiff.  The  man  was 
rendered  totally  and  permanently  helpless,  under  a  condition  of  things 
w  hich  must  have  been  due  to  negligence  of  a  gross  character  on  the 
part  of  an  employe  having  charge  of  a  highway.  I  should  never  expect 
a  more  favorable  result,  and  should  anticipate  a  larger  verdict  ou 
another  trial. 

Of  the  new  cases  commenced,  one  is  to  test  a  patent  right  in  use  on 
the  streets;  several  to  test  the  liability  of  the  District  for  alleged  faults 
ot  liber  Creek  sewer,  and  sewers  connected  with  it.  .Many  other  cases, 
some  ot  importance,  have  been  tried  or  otherwise  disposed  of. 

Ot  the  late  list  of  judgments,  as  a  whole,  1  may  say  that  where  the 
claims  were  litigated,  they  were  zealously  defended  with  all  the  means 
a  my  disposal,  and  are  to  be  treated  as  judicially  determined  liabili- 
ties ot  cne  District.    So  in  one  or  two  no  legal  or  equitable  defense  ex-

D.  C.  PATTERSOX,  M.  D., 

Coroner,  District  of  Columbia. 


K.— REPORT  OF  THE  MAJOR  OF  TOLICE. 

Department  of  Metropolitan  Police, 
Office  of  the  Major  and  Superintendent, 

Washington,  D.  ft,  September  1,  1881. 

Gentlemen:  I  have  the  honor  to  present  this  the  twentieth  yearly 
report  of  the  condition  and  operations  of  the  Metropolitan  police  force 
of  tbe  District  of  Columbia  for  the  year  ended  30th  June,  1881,  being  a 
classified  statement  showing  the  disposition  of  the  force  by  precincts, 
time  lost  by  sickness  and  other  causes,  number  of  arrests,  according  to 
sex,  in  the  several  precincts,  the  ages  of  males  and  females  thus  arrested, 
their  nationality,  trade,  or  occupations,  with  other  information  having 
reference  to  the  routine  duties  of  this  department;  the  report  of  the 
board  of  surgeons,  sanitary  officer,  and  property  clerk ;  property  at  head- 
quarters and  in  each  of  the  stations;  estimates  of  the  amount  of  money 
required  for  the  support  of  the  department  during  the  fiscal  year  ending 
30th  June,  1883,  said  estimates  being  based  on  the  number  of  the  force 
as  at  present  authorized  by  law,  with  various  suggestions  and  recom- 
mendations which  in  my  opinion  will  tend  to  the  welfare  and  better  pro- 
tection of  the  community  and  add  to  the  efficiency  of  this  department. 


100    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

INCREASE  OF  THE  FORCE. 

In  connection  with  this  subject,  one  of  vital  importance  to  the  wel- 
fare of  our  community,  I  can  do  little  more  than  repeat  the  nnmerons 
reports  and  recommendations  made  in  previous  annual  reports  on  the 
same. 

The  Board  of  Commissioners  are  doubtless  as  well  aware  of  the  insuf- 
ficiency in  numbers  of  the  present  force  as  I  am,  but  in  view  of  the  se- 
rious responsibility  of  this  department  in  all  matters  connected  with  the 
protection  of  lives  and  property  jeopardized  by  such  deficit,  1  must 
again  state  that  no  amount  of  vigilance,  or  the  greatest  possible  effi- 
ciency, can  make  up  for  the  shortage  in  this  respect. 

A  policeman,  like  any  other  man,  can  do  no  more  than  his  best.  I  am 
satisfied  that  every  member  of  the  force  is  striving  to  that  end.  Any- 
thing short  of  such  exertion  is  soon  discovered,  and  the  proper  remedy 
applied,  but  yet  it  is  impossible  for  the  present  number  of  patrolmen 
to  give  due  protection  to  the  lives  and  property  under  their  guardian- 
ship. 

When  the  present  number  of  patrolmen  was  authorized,  the  popula- 
tion of  this  District  was  S8,S79;  it  is  now  more  than  double  that  num- 
ber. The  value  of  property  belonging  to  citizens  and  the  general  gov- 
ment  has  increased  in  greater  proportions,  but  without  any  correspond- 
ing increase  in  the  number  of  policemen  to  guard  such  enlargement. 

1  would,  therefore,  earnestly  recommend  that  the  force  be  increased  by 
the  addition  of  one  captain  (as  night  inspector),  seven  sergeants,  two 
hundred  and  fifty  privates  or  patrolmen. 

STATION  HOUSES. 

Of  the  eight  station  houses  in  use  by  this  department,  only  three  viz 
tin;  third,  fourth,  and  eighth  precincts  are  owned  by  the  District.  Being 
built  for  the  purpose,  they  are  the  only  ones  fit  for  that  service,  the 
others  being  defective  in  many  very  essential  points:  the  prisoners' 
cells,  water  closets,  and  lodgers'  rooms  being  too  near  the  sleeping 
rooms  of  the  officers  and  privates,  very  often  causing  loss  of  rest  and 
sleep  to  the  tired  patrolmen  and  sergeant.  It  is  also  found  very  diffi- 
cult to  prevent  foul  orders  emanating  from  said  cells  and  rooms"  espe- 
eialh  at  night  when  occupied  by  prisoners  and  lodgers.  Another  veVv 
great  delect  is  the  faultmess  of  the  drainage;  a  fault  which  cannot  be 
overlooked  as  it  causes  sickness  and  consequent  li^LSS2fa  a

crime  and  in  the  detection  of  the  criminals  when  crime  has  been  com- 
mitted. At  the  same  time  it  would  be  a  positive  wrong  to  remove  these 
men,  after  twenty  years'  faithful  service,  without  making  some  provision 
for  their  old  age.  This  matter  is  one  that  requires  earnest  attention, 
and  I  again  respectfully  recommend  that  provision  be  made  for  the  re- 
tirement of  such  members  of  the  force  as  are  incapable  of  performing 
thorough  police  duty,  whether  such  incapacity  be  caused  by  long  service 
or  disabled  in  the  line  of  duty. 

When  this  is  done  the  personnel  of  the  force  will  be  greatly  improved. 

In  connection  with  this  subject  the  following  table  exhibits  the  year 
of  appointment  of  the  200  privates  at  present  constituting  the  patrol- 
men of  the  force:

DISCIPLINE  OF  TIIE  FORCE. 

t 

The  superintendent  confidently  believes  that  the  discipline*  of  the  force 
will  compare  favorably  with  that  of  any  similar  organization  in  the 
country.  In  the  maintenance  of  the  rules  and  regulations  laid  down  for 
our  guidance,  seventy-four  members  of  the  force  were  cited  before  the 
trial  board  during  the  past  year,  for  violations  thereof,  viz: 

For  desertion   1 

Gross  neglect  of  duty   0 

Insubordination   1

ST.  AN>T,S  ASYLUM. 

During  the  past  year,  as  in  previous  ones,  this  department  has  been 
greatly  indebted  t()  the  ladies  of  St.  Ann's  Asylum. 

Kindly  and  readily  were  the  numerous  waifs  of  humanity,  thrown  by

unfeeling  parents  on  the  mercy  of  the  world,  received  by  them,  thereby 
relieving  us  from  what,  though' not  very  large,  would,  in  many  cases,  prove 
a  serious  responsibility. 

I  would  recommend  that  measures  be  taken  to  reimburse  the  asylum 
for  the  time,  care,  and  expeuse  thus  voluntarily  given. 

CHARITY. 

tinder  this  heading  I  would  state  that  this  office  received  from  the 
" appropriation  for  relief  of  the  worthy  poor,"  during  the  past  year, 
1 100.  This  small  amount  was  carefully  expended  or  distributed  to 
parties  actually  suffering  for  lack  of  the  necessaries  of  life. 

The  past  winter  being  unusually  long  and  severe,  the  suffering  of  our 
poor  was  large  in  proportion,  and  numerous  cases  of  destitution  were 
brought  to  the  attention  of  the  police,  in  which  we  were  unable  to 
afford  relief.  * 

In  this  emergency  our  citizens,  ever  prompt  to  the  call  of  suffering, 
whether  in  this  city  or  elsewhere,  called  a  meeting  for  the  purpose  of 
considering  what  means  could  be  taken  to  decrease  and  relieve  the 
w  ants  of  the  poor  in  our  midst.  The  call  was  heartily  responded  to, 
and  during  the  past  w  inter  $11,751.  33  was  contributed  as  the  result 
of  such  call. 

This  large  amount  was  expended  and  distributed  through  and  by  this 
department  under  the  control  of  the  honorable  commissioners. 

As  to  the  manner  in  which  this  department  expended  and  distributed 
the  above  amount,  allow  me  to  copy  the  report  of  a  committee  ap- 
pointed by  Judge  A.  B.  Hagner  for  that  purpose:

presented  and  returned  by  him  to  the  lieutenant  who  issued  it,  he  tested  it,  and  it  was 
then  paid  by  the  Chief  of  Police. 

By  this  method  every  dollar  was  dedicated  to  its  mission,  and  the  strictest  integrity 
insured  in  carrying  out  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Commissioners. 

The  relative  necessities  of  the  poor  last  winter  are  shown  by  the  following  tabular 
statement  of  the  expenditure  of  the  fund,  and  may  furnish  a  future  guide  for  the  char- 
itable who  may  make  contributions  of  articles  instead  of  money. 

The  amount  of  cash  contributed  was  $11,751.33,  which  was  distributed  thus: 


Groceries   $0,  087  06 

Fuel   5, 266  4b* 

Boots  and  shoes   142  60 

Cash  in  small  amounts   12H  !>? 

Cartage  of  coke   80  00 

Dry  goods  and  bedding  ;   46  74 

Overpaid   50 


11,751  83 

In  conclusion,  we  take  pleasure  in  congratulating  the  charitable  upon  the  suffering 
they  relieved  by  their  generous  and  spontaneous  response,  and  we  beg  leave  to  com- 
mend ftiaj.  Win.  G.  Brock,  Chief  of  Police,  for  the  admirable  method  he  adopted,  and 
which,  with  the  aid  of  his  officers  and  men,  he  so  efficiently  executed.

EMERGENCY  HOSPITAL. 

This  institution  was  opened  July  10, 1881,  and  is  connected  with  the 
Central  Free  Dispensary. 

Even  at  this  early  day  this  hospital  promises  to  be  of  the  greatest 
benefit  to  the  community  and  assistance  to  this  department. 

FISH  LAW. 

The  act  of  Congress  relative  to  the  protection  of  the  Potomac  fisher- 
ies in  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  for  the  preservation  of  shad  and 
herring  in  the  Potomac  River,  approved  April  6,  1880,  made  no  provis- 
ion for  defraying  the  expenses  which  must  occur  in  the  enforcement  of 
its  provisions ;  there  was  no  appropriation  made  for  the  sam'e  object 
during  the  fiscal  year  just  ended;  until  some  arrangement  is  made 
whereby  this  department  may  have  the  use  of  a  steam  launch,  I  will  be 
practically  unable  to  see  that  none  of  the  sections  of  said  law  are  vio- 
lated. 

I  would  respectfully  recommend  that  the  Commissioners  urge  on 
Congress  the  necessity  of  providing  this  department  with  the  means  of 
enforcing  the  law  in  this  respect. 

DARK  ALLEYS. 

During  the  year  there  were  73  lamps  placed  in  the  alleys  that  most 
required  light,  leaving  about  60  to  be  provided  for  in  this  respect. 

This  is  of  the  greatest  assistance  to  police  surveillance,  by  greatly  re- 
ducing the  opportunities  for  committing  crime  and  preventing  fugitives 
from  justice  finding  hiding  places  therein,  as  well  as  enabling  the  patrol- 
man to  give  the  time  heretofore  required  in  the  oversight  of  these  alleys 
to  the  streets  and  avenues  of  our  city. 

I  respectfully  recommend  that  the  alleys  not  yet  furnished  with  lamps 
be  supplied  with  them  as  soon  as  possible. 

REFORMATORY  FOR  GIRLS. 

There  are  in  Washington,  as  in  other  large  cities,  a  number  of  young- 
girls  whose  moral  tendencies  are  bad.   There  are  others  who,  through 


104    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


some  cause,  have  made  an  erring  step  and  are  on  the  downward  road. 
Many  of  these  could  be  rescued  from  the  life  they  are  leading,  and  be- 
come respectable  members  of  society,  if  there  was  only  some  institution 
in  which  they  could  be  placed  and  where  they  would  be  surrounded 
by  good  influences;  where  they  could  be  guarded  from  temptation,  and 
their  higher  interests  cared  for.  I  but  repeat  what  I  have  said  in  my 
previous  reports  when  I  recommend  the  establishment  of  such  a  re- 
formatory institution  in  this  city.  It  is  necessary,  it  is  due  to  the  city, 
to  the  unfortunate  girls,  and  to  humanity.  Its  lack  is  working  harm; 
its  establishment  could  not  but  be  productive  of  good.  All  those  con- 
signed to  its  protecting  care  might  not  be  reformed,  but  I  am  sure  that 
the  proportion  would  be  amply  sufficient  to  justify  any  effort  which 
might  be  made  in  this  direction. 

DETAILS. 

In  conclusion,  gentlemen,  permit  me  to  state  that  in  my  opinion,  and 
until  the  force  is  largely  increased,  this  department  should  not  be  bur- 
dened with  large  and  permanent  details  for  other,  and  in  some  cases 
duty  not  coming  strictly  under  the  head  "legitimate  police  service  " 

I  need  not  go  into  a  statement  as  to  where  such  details  are,  and  whv 
they  were  made  at  first,  as  doubtless  the  Commissioners  have  full  knowl- 
edge on  the  subject,  but  from  my  experience  of  the  needs  of  the  service 
and  the  urgent  necessity  that  every  available  man  on  the  force,  should 
give  his  whole  time  and  attention  to  police  patrol  or  street  dutv  I 

every  permanent  detail  be  abolished  and  that 
tin  men  thus  relieved  return  to  their  precincts  for  active  police  service 

be  o/TlT  '!  £S*  y°?  f°rthe  U1,if°rm  kindness  ^tended  to  every  me  n- 
bei  of  this  department  during  the  year,  and  recommend  to  vour  favortble

REPORT  OF  SANITARY  OFFICER. 

Department  Metropolitan  Police, 

•Sanitary  Office, 
Washington,  D.  C,  September  15,  1881. 

Sir  :  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  my  report  of  the  work  of  this  office 
during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881.  _ 

This  office  is  charged  with  attending  to  the  destitute  sick  and  poor  ot 
the  District  of  Columbia  who  are  compelled  to  go  to  hospital  for  treat- 
ment, a  s  well  as  the  non-resident  sick  and  insane  persons  found  in  our  midst 
in  a  suffering  condition.  Each  case  has  to  be  carefully  inquired  into,  and 
when  found  to  be  fit  subject  for  treatment,  the  patient  is  promptly  re- 
moved to  the  hospital.    He  or  she  is  entitled  to  admission  under  the 


116     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


law.  In  connection  with  the  removal  of  these  sick  and  insane  cases 
to  the  several  hospitals  and  asylums,  I  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  fact 
that  the  number  of  such  cases  has  increased  during  the  past  year  nearly 
33  per  cent,  over  any  previous  year;  that  the  work  performed  by  the 
ambulance  driver  has  been  done  promptly,  cheerfully,  and  with  great 
fidelity.  He  not  onlv  understands,  and  is  careful  in  the  treatment  ot 
his  horses,  but  is  also  kind  and  humane  with  the  poor  unfortunates  he  is 
called  upon  to  remove.  I  may  say  that  there  is  scarcely  a  day  that  the 
driver  has  a  chance  to  partake  of  his  regular  meals,  owing  to  the  num- 
ber of  cases  daily  reported  to  be  urgent,  and  consequently  demanding 
immediate  attention.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  not  only  the  driver,  but  also 
the  horses  are  put  to  their  best  efforts  in  trying  to  perform  all  the  work 
and  meet  the  demands  of  the  number  of  applicants  for  removal  to  hos- 
pital. There  was  purchased  for  the  use  of  this  office  a  temporary  light 
wagon  during  the  past  year,  but  no  horse.  I  would  suggest  that  an 
additional  horse  be  purchased,  and  thus  considerably  relieve  the  ambu- 
lance team  proper. 

I  again  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  a  number  of  non-resident  in- 
sane paupers  are  found  by  the  officers  of  this  department  wandering 
about  the  streets,  and  year  after  year  these  numbers  increase.  Under 
the  law  the  District  of  Columbia  is  compelled  to  defray  the  expenses  of 
their  support  in  the  Government  Hospital  for  the  Insane.  Those  whose 
legal  place  of  residence  can  be  ascertained  are  removed  to  their  friends, 
but  owing  to  the  fact  that  many  of  them  are  not  possessed  of  mind 
enough  to  give  any  account  of  their  friends  or  legal  place  of  residence, 
the  District  is  compelled  to  pay  for  their  support  in  hospital.  The  en- 
tire cost  of  their  support  while  in  hospital  and  transporting  them  to  their 
homes  lias  to  be  borne  by  the  District  of  Columbia.  I  therefore  sug- 
gest that  Congress  be  requested  to  make  a  special  appropriation  to  de- 
fray both  the  cost  of  supporting  this  class  of  persons  while  in  hospital 
here  as  well  as  transporting  them  to  their  homes,  as  they  have  no  claim 
whatever  upon  the  District,  inasmuch  as  they  belong  and  are  resident 
of  the  different  States. 

This  office  is  also  charged  with  furnishing  transportation  to  persons 
whocome  to  this  city  in  hopes  of  getting  employment,  or  Avho  have  some 
claim  against  the  government.  For  instance,  soldiers  and  widows  of 
soldiers  applying  for  pensions,  and  who  think  by  coming  to  Washington 
they  will  accomplish  that  which  for  years  they  have  failed  in.  They 
manage  in  some  way  to  get  means  enough  to  bring  them  here,  thinking 
they  will  succeed  in  obtaining  what  they  imagine  is  justly  due  them  and 
in  case  they  should  not,  that  the  government  which'  they  claim  to  have 
served  so  faithfully  would  at  least  give  them  enough  to  enable  them  to 
return  to  their  homes.  Subsequently  they  find  out  that  they  not  onlv 
tail  in  obtaining  the  object  of  their  mission,  but  that  the  general  jrov- 
eminent  has  made  no  provision  whatever  with  which  thevcould  be  sent 
to  their  homes.  The  result  is,  they  apply  « like  all  others', »  to  the  police 
department  for  assistance,  and  as  they  are  not  "tramps"  and  cannot 
properly  be  classed  as  such,  they  must  be  treated  with  the  consider 
.on  due  to  humanity.  Therefore,  it  has  been  the  practice  of  this  office 
to  extend  to  these  people,  or  at  least  to  the  most  distressed  on  Z  ■ 
the  number,  relief  by  way  of  transportation  to  or  «  horn 2f 

Owing  to  the  small  amount  appropriated,  relief  cannot  be  extended  to 
om^appl.cant  out  ot  ten.    The  cost  of  such  transportation  is  bon  e  by

eral  government,  inasmuch  as  the  greater  number  of  them  have  been 
soldiers,  or  the  widows  or  orphans  of  soldiers  who  served  in  the  late 
war.  In  my  opinion  there  is  no  money  appropriated  by  Congress  which 
does  more  good  than  this,  but  owing  to  the  daily  increase  of  the  num- 
ber of  worthy  applicants,  and  the  inadequacy  of  the  amount  appropri- 
ated, I  respectfully  suggest  that  the  amount  be  increased  to  $5,000. 

As  in  previous  reports,  I  again  request  that  the  attention  of  Congress 
be  called  to  the  fact  that  section  248,  page  947,  Revised  Statutes  of  the 
United  States,  provides  that  affidavits  as  to  the  insanity  and  indigency 
of  the  resident  insane  of  this  District  must  be  made  before  a  judge  of 
the  criminal  or  circuit  court,  or  before  a  justice  of  the  peace  of  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia.  Consequently  there  is  no  officer  connected  with  the 
District  government  empowered  to  take  such  depositions,  except  the 
major  and  superintendent  of  police  and  the  Commissioners  of  the  Dis- 
trict; the  latter  overburdened  with  other  duties  and  not  having  time 
to  attend  to  such  matters,  and,  in  the  absence  of  the  former,  the  acting 
ma  jor  and  superintendent  has  not  the  power  to  administer  such  affida- 
vits. I  therefore  suggest  that  in  order  to  facilitate  the  duties  of  the 
office,  the  section  referred  to  be  amended  by  inserting  the  words  "or 
notary  public"  after  those  of  justice  of  the  peace. 

I  again  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  urgent  necessity  for  the  erection 
in  this  city  of  an  asylum  where  confirmed  inebriates  could  be  treated. 
There  is  no  hospital  or  institution  within  the  District  where  this  class  of 
persons  can  be  sent  and  confined  against  their  will.  It  often  occurs 
that  after  all  efforts  on  the  part  of  the  friends  of  these  people  to  care  for 
and  reform  them  have  failed,  they  are  turned  over  to  this  department 
to  be  disposed  of  in  some  manner.  Cases  of  this  kind  have  been  fre- 
quently sent  from  this  office  to  the  Providence  Hospital,  some  to  the 
Freedman's  Hospital,  and  some  to  the  Washington  Asylum  Hospital, 
where  they  have  been  kindly  received  and  treated ;  but  upon  recovering 
from  their  drunken  condition  they  have  demanded  their  liberty,  which 
could  not  be  denied  them,  and  have  been  found  by  the  officers  of  the 
department  the  next  day  in  as  bad  and  deplorable  condition  as  they 
were  when  sent  to  the  hospital  a  few  days  before.  Some  of  these  un- 
fortunate creatures  whom  I  have  known  are  respectably  connected, 
whose  friends  have  used  all  the  means  in  their  power  to  restore  them  to 
manhood,  who  had  to  be  arrested  the  next  day  after  their  release  from 
the  workhouse,  and  sent  down  for  another  term  of  ninety  days,  and  thus 
they  spend  their  whole  life,  or  nearly  so,  prisoners  in  that  institution. 

Humanity  demands  that  there  should  be  erected  some  such  institution 
wherein  these  poor  unfortunate  people  could  be  cared  for,  as  the  greater 
number  of  suicides,  if  not  all  which  occur  in  our  midst,  are  among  those 
suffering  from  mania  a  potu,  or  the  immediate  effects  of  alcohol,  and 
whose  lives  would  be  saved  if  the  persons  so  afflicted  could  be  confined 
in  an  institution  of  this  kind  until  reason  could  be  restored,  and  not 
only  that,  but  many  of  them  in  a  short  time  would  be  returned  to  their 
position  in  society  and  become  not  only  respectable  and  honorable  but 
useful  citizens. 

The  following  will  show  the  number  of  sick  and  destitute  persons  sent 
to  the  several  hospitals  and  asylums  within  the  District  of  Columbia, 
and  the  nativity  of  the  same;  also  the  number  of  the  non-resident  pau- 
pers furnished  with  transportation  towards  their  homes :

Dear  8m  .  t  ,  .     ^       WAS1IINGT0N>  D-  O,  September  12,  1881. 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  119 


June  30,  1881.  A  severe  illness,  of  more  than  a  month's  duration,  has 
prevented  an  earlier  compliance  with  their  request  and  your  wishes. 


The  whole  number  of  the  force  is   238 

Number  who  have  been  sick  or  disabled   185 

Per  cent,  of  force  who  lost  time   .77 

Total  days'  time  made  by  the  force   86, 870 

Total  days'  time  lost  through  disability   4, 192 

Per  cent,  of  time  lost  048 

Average  number  of  days  lost  by  each  man  sick   23 


Two  members,  being  hopelessly  insane,  and  inmates  of  asylums,  lost 
one  year  each,  leaving  230  members  who  did  more  or  less  duty  during 
the  year,  or,  183  properly  on  the  sick-reports,  who  either  returned  to 
duty  or  died.    Dropping  the  two  incurables,  we  have  : 


Total  days'  time  made  by  230  members   76, 140 

Total  days'  time  lost  by  183  members   3,  462 

Per  cent,  of  time  lost  by  183  members  045 

Average  days'  time  lost  per  man  sick   18HS 


The  greatest  number  of  days  was  lost  in  the  month  of  March,  being 
458  days,  and  the  number  on  sick-reports  was  53,  being  nearly  nine 
days  to  each  one  on  the  reports  for  the  month.  The  least  time  was  lost 
in  the  month  of  August,  being  180  days  by  24  men,  or  an  average  of  7f 
days  per  man.    Two  deaths  have  occurred  during  the  year,  viz: 

Townsend  R.  Hobbs,  of  consumption,  who  lost  184  days. 

Thomas  Hellmuth,  congestion  of  liver,  who  lost  26  days. 

TIME  LOST. 

The  large  number  of  the  force  who  lost  time  and  the  great  amount  of 
time  lost,  cannot  but  excite  query  as  to  either  the  cause  thereof  or  the 
necessity  therefor.  Several  reasons  are  to  be  assigned  for  the  number 
who  lost  time,  one  of  which  is  fatigue;  the  length  of  the  beats  and  the 
fatigue  of  patrolling  them,  frequently  causing  the  men  to  plead  sickness 
that  they  may  obtain  needed  rest. 

Again,  a  man  frequently  goes  off  duty  sick,  and  the  surgeons  learn  that 
for  days  he  has  frequented  some  drug-store  and  obtained  some  palliative, 
or  has  been  taking  some  domestic  remedy,  or  some  charitable  friends 
have  suggested  the  very  panacea  for  his  ailment,  each  and  all  of  which 
have  failed  to  work  the  charm  of  a  cure  or  have  the  desired  effect  of 
keeping  the  man  on  duty.  When  asked  why  he  did  not  apply  to  the 
surgeons  immediately  on  feeling  unwell,  the  reply  is,  "  O,  I  didn't  wish 
to  go  off  duty."  He  evidently  forgets  that  it  is  the  surgeon's  duty  to 
decide  whether  he  is  "fit  or  unfit  for  duty"  and  that  the  members  of  the 
force  arc  expected  and  required  to  go  to  the  surgeons  "on  the  first  man- 
ifestations of  sickness,"  not  that  they  may  go  off'  duty  but  that  the  tend- 
ency to  disease  may  be  checked,  and  they  be  prevented  from  losing 
time.  A  strict  comi>liance  with  paragraph  104,  page  38,  of  the  Manual, 
would  greatly  lessen  the  number  of  days  lost  by  sickness.  If  the  men 
were  more  careful  in  their  habits  of  life,  and  took  rest  on  the  days  when 
they  are  off"  duty,  instead  of  taxing  their  powers  of  endurance  still  fur- 
ther in  the  ways  they  are  said  to  do,  there  would  be  fewer  of  them  on 
the  sick-reports.  The  manner  of  working  the  force  at  present,  on  the 
six-hour  system,  necessarily  causes  a  great  irregularity  in  the  men's 
meals,  for  on  no  two  consecutive  days  are  the  same  meals  partaken  of  at 
the  same  hour.  Thus,  if  A  dines  to-day  at  twelve  o'clock,  that  he  may 
go  on  duty  at  one,  to-morrow  he  will  dine  at  two  o'clock  or  later,  be- 
cause he  went  on  duty  at  8  a.  m.  and  came  off  at  one ;  so  with  other 


120    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


meals;  and  thus  the  digestive  organs  are  put  out  of  order.  While  the 
surgeons  have  no  suggestions,  with  the  present  limited  number  on  the 
force,  to  make  whereby  this  evil  might  be  remedied,  yet  we  mention  it 
as  one  of  the  factors  causing  time  to  be  lost. 

There  is  another  reason  why  more  days'  time  is  lost  than  perhaps 
might  be.  When  a  man  becomes  convalescent,  and  able  to  do  some 
kind  of  duty,  he  is  necessarily  kept  from  reporting  as  "fit  for  duty"  be- 
cause he  must  take  his  regular  tour,  night  and  day,  without  regard  to 
the  state  of  the  weather.  Sometimes  a  man's  tirst  tour  of  duty  would 
come  at  midnight  ;  and  it  is  deemed  unwise  to  send  a  patient  to  the  street 
at  midnight  from  a  sick-bed,  and  often  at  least  one  day  is  thus  added 
to  the  time  lost  that  the  man  may  be  guarded  from  a  relapse.  If  some 
detailed  duty  for  a  short  time  could  be  given  the  convalescent  (which 
is  not  practicable,  I  grant),  much  less  time  would  appear  on  the  reports 
as  lost  by  sickness. 

One  other  cause  of  "time  lost"  remains  to  be  mentioned,  and  that  is 
the  time  spent  at  the  police  court.  The  men  who  do  duty  during  the 
later  part  of  the  night  go  off  duty  at  6  o'clock  a.  m.,  and  are  supposed  to 
take  rest  until  0  o'clock  p.  m. ;  but  should  they  have  been  so  unfortunate 
as  to  have  made  any  arrests  during  their  tour  of  duty,  they  must  appear 
at  the  court,  and  spend  a  large  part  of  the  day  there  instead  of  at  their 
homes,  in  bed,  resting;  so  that  when  the  hour  of  (>  p.  m.  arrives,  the 
men  are  tired  and  too  often  unfit  to  again  resume  duty  and  do  it  effi- 
ciently. The  actual  need  of  the  force  is  an  increase  of 'members  suffi- 
ciently large  to  cover  the  city  more  perfectly,  and  also  afford  longer 
Hours  of  rest  to  the  men;  and  then  a  more  rigid  enforcement  of  the 
regulations,  as  regards  the  manner  of  doing  duty,  can  be  reouired  of 
the  sergeants,  whose  sense  of  humanity  now  prevents  them  from  exact- 
ing as  strict  a  compliance  with  the  rules  as  they  then  would

continued  use  of  the  buildings,  if  more  suitable  ones  could  be  obtained, 
would  be  Shown  a  disregard  of  the  right  of  the  men  to  proper  and  suit- 
able shelter,  comfort,  and  rest,  that  they  may  efficiently  and  satisfacto- 
rily discbarge  their  duties.  At  an  early  a  day  as  practicable,  suitable 
station-houses  should  be  erected  in  the  first,  second,  fifth,  sixth,  and 
seventh  precincts,  and  a  substation  in  Uniontown. 

J  SICK  AND  WOUNDED. 

Frequently  persons  are  taken  sick  in  the  cells  of  the  respective  sta- 
tion-houses, or  are  found  so  on  tin1  streets,  or  persons  are  injured  or 
wounded,  accidentally  or  otherwise,  and  are  carried  to  the  stations,  and 
the  police  surgeons  are  sent  for  to  render  surgical  or  medical  services. 
If  the  police  surgeons  are  expected  to  render  service  to  persons  under 
these  circumstances  some  provisions  should  be  made  whereby  the  reme- 
dies and  appliances  suitable  to  each  case  could  be  obtained  without  per- 
sonal cost  to  them  or  the  members  of  the  force.  In  many  eases  either 
the  surgeon,  the  lieutenant,  the  sergeant,  or  some  member  of  the  force 
have  to  pay  out  of  their  individual  pockets  the  cost  of  the  means  needed 
and  used.  If  the  physicians  to  the  poor  were  called  to  attend  to  such 
cases  they  could  without  personal  cost  make  necessary  prescriptions  and 
obtain  the  needed  means  of  relief. 

INSANE  CASES. 

During  the  year  perhaps  100  persons  have  been  sent  to  the  insane 
asylum  by  the  surgeons  of  the  force,  beside  a  large  number  who  have 
been  sent  to  their  respective  homes  in  the  States  and  another  class,  who 
were  declared  not  to  be  insane  or  not  fit  inmates  of  the  asylum  for  insane. 
v  The  classes  of  persons  submitted  to  our  examination  as  insane  are: 

First.  Persons  who  come  here  from  the  States,  and  some  from  very 
remote  places,  who  claim  to  be  "President  of  the  United  States,"  or 
have  some  fancied  wrong  for  the  President  to  right,  some  claim  to  be 
adjusted,  some  patent  to  be  granted,  or  some  wild  chimera  to  be  pro- 
mulgated. 

Second.  Persons  who  are  non-residents  who  have  wandered  from  their 
homes  and  who  either  seek  the  seat  of  the  general  government  because 
of  an  indefinite  idea  they  have  that  here  all  their  wrongs  are  to  be 
righted,  or  they  are  forwarded  to  this  place  from  adjacent  cities  that 
the  government  shall  take  care  of  and  provide  for  them. 

Third.  Persons  who  reside  here,  and  whose  friends  find  it  no  longer 
possible  to  restrain  them  in  their  vagaries  or  control  them  in  their  vio- 
lence. 

Fourth.  Persons,  who  though  not  insane  are  no  longer  responsible 
for  their  acts,  but  are  imbeciles,  from  age  or  some  other  infirmity,  and 
whose  friends  are  tired  of  the  expense  and  trouble  of  providing  for  their 
necessities. 

Fifth.  Persons  who  are  not  insane  in  any  definition  of  the  term,  unless 
dipsomania  is  insanity,  but  are  persons  who  at  the  time  of  the  examina- 
tion are  inebriated,  or  have  become  so  perfectly  enslaved  by  that  per- 
nicious habit  as  to  have  lost  all  self  control. 

Those  who  constitute  the  first,  second,  and  third  classes  are  the  per- 
sons whose  cases  demand  our  careful  examination  lest  we  should  un- 
happily deprive  a  citizen  of  liberty  without  being  able  to  demonstrate  to 
a  jury  that  we  were  justified  in  so  doing,  should  a  suit  for  false  impris- 
onment ever  be  brought  against  us,  in  danger  of  which  we  continually 


122     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA 


stand.  We  are  obliged  to  be  equally  cautious  lest  we  let  remain  un- 
restrained one  whose  liberty  would  be  dangerous  to  life  or  property. 
Many  of  these  persons  are  strangers  to  us,  with  whose  histories  or 
peculiarities  we  are  unacquainted,  and  whose  sense  of  caution  prompts 
them  to  reticence  and  to  attempt  to  conceal  their  peculiar  weakness,  of 
the  existence  of  which  they,  sometimes,  do  not  appear  to  be  entirely 
unaware.  It  is  evident  that  a  nice  discriminating  judgment  is  here 
required,  as  well  as  good  tact  and  caution,  that  no  error  be  committed 
on  either  side. 

As  regards  those  constituting  the  fourth  class,  we  often  find  our- 
selves greatly  straitened,  for  they  need  care  and  protection  and  yet 
there  is  no  asylum  or  place  of  refuge  for  them  We  commend  such 
cases  to  your  consideration  that  some  suitable  provision  under  the 
head  of  charity  be  made  for  them. 

The  lit'tli  class  should  properly  find  refuge  in  an  inebriate  asylum? 
Which  institution,  as  yet,  has  failed  to  recommend  itself  as  a  necessity? 
sufficiently  strong  to  the  authorities  to  meet  with  the  favor  the  case 
demands.  Such  an  institution,  while  it  should  be  considered  a  blot  on 
our  civilization,  should  be  an  important  institution  in  our  humanities 
and  receive  a  large  share  of  our  charities. 

I  believe  that  my  task  will  be  done  and  the  duty  assigned  me  com- 
pleted, when  I  shall  have  referred,  briefly,  to  the  fact  that  the  doors  of 
1  rovidence  Hospital  have  been  willingly  and  cheerfully  opened  to  re- 
ceive any  case  of  emergency,  we,  or  the  police,  have  sent  there,  but 
because  ot  the  unostentatious  manner  in  which  the  offer  was  made  and 
the  cordiality  with  which  our  unfortunates  have  been  received,  we  have 
been  chary  ot  using  our  privileges,  which  are,  that  we  may  send  anv  we 
choose  to  that  institution.

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  125 


M. — EE  PORT  OF  THE  COMMISSIONER  AKD  IN  TEND  ANT  OF 

THE  WASHINGTON  ASYLUM. 

Washington  Asylum, 
Washington,  D.  C,  October  1,  1881. 

Gentlemen:  Wbile  there  lias  been  some  improvement,  both  sanitary 
and  economical,  in  the  general  condition  of  the  asylum,  I  am  unable  to 
make  a  report  as  favorable  as  that  of  last  year.  This  is  owing  to  the 
fact  that  the  appropriation  was  largely  reduced  while  there  was  a  de- 
cided increase  in  the  number  of  inmates  and  the  cost  of  material.  As 
a  result  of  this  state  of  affairs  it  was  necessary  to  withdraw  the  prison 
gang  from  street  work  early  in  the  season,  there  being  no  money  with 
which  to  purchase  the  tools  and  extra  clothing  which  would  have  been 
needed. 

For  the  same  reason  it  has  been  impossible  to  make  many  much  needed 
repairs  and  improvements.  The  appropriation  for  this  year  is  but  little 
larger.  The  cost  of  material  has  still  further  increased,  again  making 
it  impossible  to  utilize  prison-labor  on  outside  work.  Moreover,  the  im- 
perative necessity  for  certain  changes  loo  long  neglected,  in  order  to 
make  the  pauper  class  reasonably  comfortable  regardless  of  the  amount 
of  money  at  command,  renders  the  situation  even  more  embarrassing 
than  was  that  of  last  year.  The  condition  of  the  " shanties"  which  were 
occupied  by  the  colored  male  paupers  has  been  for  a  long  time  a  dis- 
grace to  civilization,  and  they  have  now  become  absolutely  untenantable. 
The  necessity  for  additional  money  to  furnish  comfortable  quarters  was 
repeatedly  urged  upon  the  attention  of  Congress,  but  without  avail.  I 
have,  however,  been  obliged,  as  a  matter  of  common  decency,  to  lit  up, 
at  a  considerable  expense,  one  of  the  old  army  magazine  buildings,  in 
which  to  quarter  these  people. 

In  times  gone  by  but  little  attention  was  paid  to  the  coudition  of  our 
unfortunate  classes ;  but  public  sentiment  of  to-day  demands  that  they 
shall  be  reasonably  and  comfortably  cared  for.  When  I  first  assumed  con- 
trol of  the  asylum  everything  seemed  going  rapidly  into  a  state  of  decay. 
While  much  has  been  done  to  improve  the  situation,  more  still  remains 
to  be  done,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  say  that  nothing  can  be  accom- 
plished without  means.  So  far  as  cleanliness  both  of  buildings  and 
people  is  concerned,  lam  in  a  position  to  challenge  comparison  with  any 
similar  institution  in  the  United  States.  Yet,  for  want  of  funds,  fences 
have  decayed  beyond  the  possibility  of  repair;  blinds  have  fallen  from 
their  hinges,  and  roots  are  in  a  leaky  condition,  while  the  general  sani- 
tary state  of  the  various  buildings  is  not  what  it  should  be.  During  a 
large  part  of  the  year  the  hospital  is  densely  crowded,  and  new  wards 
have  become  an  absolute  necessity.  Owing  to  these  facts  and  to  the  mea- 
gerness  of  the  appropriations  for  two  years  past  I  have  made  a  decided 
increase  in  my  estimates  for  the  coming  fiscal  year.  In  the  estimate 
for  salaries  it  will  be  seen  that  nine  overseers  a  ?e  provided  for,  with  com- 
pensation at  six  hundred  dollars  per  annum.  In  last  year's  appropria- 
tion bill  five  overseers  were  provided  for,  at  six  hundred  dollars  per 
annum,  and  four  watchmen  at  two  hundred  and  forty  dollars  per  an- 
num ;  but  these  four  watchmen  do  and  have  always  done  exactly  the 
same  duty  as  that  performed  by  the  overseers.  The  amount  paid  to 
overseers  is  certainly  very  small  if  we  are  to  expect  intelligent  and 
faithful  service,  and  the  injustice  of  making  the  distinctioli  which  has 
heretofore  existed  will  be  seen  without  argument. 


126     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


I  renew  my  recommendation  that  the  present  law  he  so  amended  as  to 
enable  the  judge  of  the  police  court  to  sentence  constant  offenders  to 
long  terms  of  imprisonment.  It  is  absurd  to  hope  to  reform  or  in  any 
way  benefit  a  person  who  has  fallen  so  low  as  to  become  a  regular  in- 
mate of  the  work-house,  while  the  longest  term  of  imprisonment  author- 
ized by  law  is  ninety  days.  With  longer  terms  and  a  proper  system  of 
rebate  of  time  for  industry  and  good  behavior,  some  effort  may  be  made 
for  reformation.  Industries  may  be  taught,  which  will  not  only  reduce 
the  expense  of  supporting  tin1  prisoners,  but  will  enable  them  to  earn  a 
respectable  living  when  their  term  of  service  shall  have  expired. 

I  have  heretofore  recommended,  and  now  urge  most  strongly,  that  a 
house  of  refuge  or  reformation  be  established  in  connection  with  the  asy- 
lum, for  colored  boys  who  are  now  sentenced  to  the  work-house  for  petty 
offenses,  and  whose  enforced  association  with  the  lowest  class  of  crimi- 
nals soon  makes  them  members  of  our  rapidly  increasing  criminal  class. 
With  comparatively  small  outlay  the  remaining  army  and  navy  maga- 
zine buildings  might  be  utilized  for  this  purpose.  The  law  should  be  so 
amended  as  to  enable  the  judge  of  the  police  court  to  sentence  these 
boys  to  the  house  of  refuge  until  they  shall  arrive  at  the  age  of  eighteen, 
with  proper  provision  for  their  release  at  the  discretion  of  your  board. 
Throwing  aside  all  question  of  sentiment  or  humanity,  and  recognizing 
the  fact  that  it  is  easier  to  prevent  a  person  from  becoming  a  criminal 
than  to  reform  him,  the  interest  of  the  community  at  large  demands 
that  this  action  shall  be  taken.  Many  of  these  boys  are  absolutely 
without  friends  or  homes  ;  are  sent  down,  not  because  they  are  bad,  but 
because  the  world  affords  them  no  other  place;  and  at  the  end  of  their 
terms  they  constantly  importune  me  to  allow  them  to  remain.  The 
parents  of  others,  obliged  to  go  out  to  service,  and  therefore  unable  to 
properly  restrain  the  boys,  have  also  begged  me  to  keep  them  in  the 
work-house  beyond  their  term  of  confinement.  Under  the  present  ar- 
rangement I  am  obliged  either  to  turn  them  upon  the  streets,  knowing 
that  they  will  immediately  return  to  the  work-house  and  take  another 
lesson  m  crime,  or  transfer  them  to  the  almshouse  to  be  trained  as 
ignorant  paupers. 

The  question  of  the  care  of  the  so-called  "mildly  insane"  has  been 
discussed  in  an  informal  manner  during  the  past  year,  and  it  has  been 
suggested,  or  directed,  that  that  class  of  people  should  be  eared  for  at 
this  institution.  1  his  practice  obtained  many  years  ago  throughout  the 
larger  portion  ot  the  civilized  world.    But  philanthropists  and  others 
who  have  devoted  their  whole  lives  to  the  consideration  of  questions 
connected  with  the  management  of  the  unfortunate  classes,  have  wrought 
a  decided  change  in  public  opinion,  and  in  the  most  enlightened  com 
mun.t.es  throughout  the  United  States  such  disposition  of ™hat  cla^s 
will  no  longer  be  tolerated.   If  there  be  not  actual  abuse  there  is  alwavt 
suspicion  of  it,  and  probably  more  scandals,  founded  and  unfoun! led 
om  e  t  hen^irth  to  this  practice  than  to  any  other.  If  the  ( loinmissioners 
desire  t  hese  people  to  be  cared  for  under  their  own  jurisdiction  o  ^ 
in  other  words,  to  establish  an  inao.no  a.viNm  :^        v'UI  (Usire>

resident  physician,  and  the  appointment  of  a  resident  student.  The 
large  increase  of  work  in  the  medical  department— as  shown  by  the  fact 
that  for  the  year  ending-  June  30, 1879,  the  total  number  of  prescriptions 
was  8,700,  while  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1881,  the  total  number  of 
prescriptions  was  15,122 — renders  it  necessary,  in  my  opinion,  that  the 
office  should  be  restored,  and  I  have,  therefore,  provided  for  it  in  my 
estimates.  1  recommend,  however,  that  with  this  provision  for  an  ad- 
ditional resident  physician,  there  shall  be  inserted  a  clause  limiting 
the  term  of  office  to  two  years,  the  first  year  as  junior,  and  the  second 
as  senior.  The  visiting  physician  is  of  opinion,  with  myself,  that  such 
a  provision  will  be  for  the  best  interest  of  the  asylum. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year,  the  asylum  dining-room,  and  the  over- 
seer's dining-room  and  kitchen  were  in  a  condition  which  rendered  them 
utterly  unfit  for  occupancy.  These  rooms,  which  are  located  in  the  base- 
ment,'were  dimly  lighted  and  illy  ventilated  by  small  square  windows 
near  the  ceiling.  The  brick  lioors  were  undermined  by  rats,  and  the 
earth  underneath  was  saturated  with  poisonous  matter,  which,  from 
many  years  washing  of  the  floors,  had  soaked  between  the  loosely  laid 
bricks)  In  order  to  make  them  decent  and  comfortable,  the  following 
work  was  done:  In  the  asylum  dining-room,  the  brick  pavement  taken 
ui)  and  the  saturated  soil  beneath  removed  to  the  depth  of  two  feet,  and 
replaced  by  fresh  clay;  222  square  yards  of  brick  pavement  relaid,  set 
and  jointed  in  cement;  287  square  yards  of  hard  finished  plastering;  the 
iron  and  wood  work  painted;  three  large  windows  cut,  and  areas  made. 
New  benches,  tables,  and  dishes  were  furnished,  and  on  Christmas  day, 
for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  institution,  the  inmates  ate  their 
dinner  in  a  comfortable,  cheery,  well-ventilated  room.  In  the  overseer's 
kitchen  and  dining-room,  109  square  yards  of  plastering  was  done;  57 
square  yards  of  pavement  was  relaid  in  the  same  manner  as  in  the  asylum 
dining-room;  new  doors  were  put  in;  the  small  windows  were  replaced 
by  large  ones  with  areas;  and  the  rooms  were  generally  renovated  and 
made  habitable. 

In  the  store-room  and  laundry  57  square  yards  of  pavement  was  laid, 
100  square  yards  of  plastering  done,  and  general  repairs  made  as  in  the 
other  rooms.  The  hall  was  repaired  in  a  similar  manner  by  28  square 
yards  of  paving,  and  114J  square  yards  of  plastering.  In  all  these 
rooms  the  saturated  earth  was  removed  to  the  depth  of  the  foundations 
and  replaced  by  clay,  as  in  the  asylum  dining-room.  The  office-rooms 
have  been  painted  and  grained,  and  22G  square  yards  of  hard-finish 
plastering  has  been  laid.  The  furnace  rooms  were  renovated,  and  the 
floors  concreted.  The  hospital  kitchen  was  thoroughly  repaired.  Two 
hundred  feet  of  brick  and  stone  gutter  was  relaid  adjoining  the  Con- 
gressional Cemetery;  244  feet  of  board  fence,  eight  feet  high,  was  built 
around  the  work-house  grounds;  75  feet  of  brick  retaining  wall  was  built; 
and  100  feet  of  fence  reset  around  the  cottage  yard.  The  ward  form- 
erly occupied  by  male  prisoners  was  thoroughly  repaired  and  cleansed, 
anil  is  now  occupied  by  Avhite  male  paupers  taken  from  the  crowded 
ward  below.  Four  hundred  and  forty-one  feet  of  brick  walk,  four  and  a 
half  feet  wide,  was  laid;  11,070  feet  of  blind  ditch,  three  feet  wide  and 
three  feet  deep,  was  laid,  broken  brick  being  used  for  filling;  559  feet 
of  six-inch  sewer  pipe  with  brick  man-hole  was  laid  to  replace  rotten 
wood  trunk,  and  proper  connections  were  made  with  the  different  hos- 
pital buildings ;  186  feet  of  wire  fence,  and  220  feet  of  board  fence,  eight 
feet  high,  were  made.  A  brick  wall,  21  feet  0  inches  long  and  1 1  feet 
high,  was  built,  running  from  the  almshouse  to  the  kitchen,  and  separat- 
ing the  male  and  female  inmates.    Very  many  other  repairs  and  nn- 


128    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


provements  of  minor  importance  were  made.  Six  hundred  and  four 
pairs  of  shoes  were  repaired  by  work-house  labor.  Seven  hundred  and 
fourteen  coffins  were  made,  of  which  542  were  furnished  to  the  health 
department.  Fifteen  hundred  and  forty-seven  days7  work  of  prisoners, 
one  hundred  days'  work  of  overseers,  and  fifty  days  of  horse  and  cart 
labor  were  furnished  the  engineer  department  for  the  improvement  of 
H  street  northeast. 

During  the  winter,  it  being  impossible  to  transport  the  garbage  and 
night-soil  down  the  river  on  account  of  the  ice,  I  was  directed  to  receive 
it.  There  were  delivered  402  tons  of  garbage,  and  2,542  barrels  of  night- 
soil,  which  was  buried  in  pits  dug  for  the  purpose.  From  a  portion  of 
this  material  770  barrels  of  dry  fertilizer  was  manufactured. 

Ten  thousand  heads  of  cabbage  were  raised.  Large  quantities  of  other 
vegetables  were  also  raised,  but  as  they  were  gathered  and  consumed 
from  day  to  day,  it  is  impossible  to  make  an  estimate  of  the  quantity. 
Several  bushels  each  of  strawberries,  grapes,  and  other  fruits  were 
raised  and  distributed  among  the  inmates  of  the  almshouse  and  hospi- 
tal. Ninety  five  fruit  trees  and  a  number  of  small-fruit  bushes  and 
vines  were  planted. 

Five  thousand  seven  hundred  and  four  pounds  of  prime  pork  was 
killed. 

Prom  an  artificial  pond  sufficient  ice  was  cut  to  supply  all  branches 
of  the  asylum  till  the  present  date.

land. 128;  Virginia.  148,  all  other  States,  87.    Total.  505. 

From  the  foregoing  statement  it  will  be  seen  that  there  lias  been  a 
Large  increase  in  the  number  admitted  into  the  hospital  over  previous 
years.  Allowing  a  fair  amount  of  space  for  each  bed,  75  patients  can 
be  accommodated  in  the  several  wards.  During  five  months  of  the  past 
year  we  were  not  only  compelled  to  crowd  the  wards  to  such  an  extent 
as  to  barely  allow  passage-way  between  the  beds,  but  were  obliged  to 
tit  up  one  of  the  houses  in  the  magazine  grounds  for  hospital  purposes, 
where  from  10  to  25  patients  were  treated  for  several  months.  In  no 
month  of  the  year  has  the  number  of  inmates  fallen  below  50;  the  high- 
est number.  126,  Some  of  the  wards  have  been  filled  to  their  utmost  ca- 
pacity the  entire  year. 

The  past  winter  was  an  unusually  severe  one,  bringing  to  all  the  chari- 
table institutions  of  the  District  for  the  care  of  the  sick  a  much  greater 
number  of  sufferers  than  ever  before.  As  far  as  this  hospital  was  con- 
cerned, it  can  be  truly  stated  that  all  demands  upon  it  have  been 
promptly  met  Whilst,  as  above  stated,  overcrowding  was  unavoid- 
able, in  all  other  respects  the  sick  and  disabled  were  cared  tor  as  they 
presented  themselves,  and  none  were  turned  away  for  want  of  accommo- 
dations. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  the  future  no  such  strain  will  be  put  upon  the 
hospital,  as  regards  room  for  the  sick.  The  crowding  during  last  win- 
ter was  sometimes  fearful,  and  far  beyond  safe  limits. 

Several  capital  operations  were  performed  during  that  time,  success- 
mi  as  ar  as  Me  was  concerned  in  all  but  one,  but  tedious  and  protracted

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  133 

I  desire  to  call  attention  to,  and  strongly  condemn,  a  practice  of  late, 
assuming  suck  shape  as  to  make  its  mention  a  necessity — the  sending  of 
persons  suspected  of  insanity  or  actually  insane  to  this  hospital  for  safe- 
keeping'. It  is  simply  an  act  of  cruelty  to  the  person  sent,  and  an  injus- 
tice to  the  management  of  the  asylum.  There  are  no  provisions  here  for 
the  care  of  such  cases.  They  are  a  source  of  anxiety  and  care  to  the 
attendants,  already  sufficiently  worked,  and  of  dread  to  the  patients. 
When  they  become  dangerous  and  violent,  as  has  been  often  the  case, 
personal  restraint,  the  cell,  and  straight-jacket  have  to  be  resorted  to 
until  they  can  be  sent  to  the  insane  asylum,  to  which  place  they  ought 
to  have  been  sent  in  the  first  instance. 

AVe  have  the  records  of  attempted  suicide,  arson,  violence  and  threats 
to  attendants  and  inmates,  to  satisfy  us  that  however  mild  the  form  of 
insanity  may  appear,  there  is  a  period  of  excitement  in  all  cases,  sooner 
or  later  developed,  with  results  as  above  stated,  and  it  is  a  matter  of 
surprise,  as  well  as  congratulation,  that  no  tragedy  has  yet  been  en- 
acted in  our  midst. 

If  such  should  occur,  I  protest,  in  advance,  against  any  responsibility 
being  attached  to  the  management  of  the  Asylum ;  for  those  sending 
them  have  full  knowledge  of  what  they  do,  and  have  the  power  and 
means  of  properly  providing  for  all  such  cases. 

On  account  of  the  small  compensation  ($5  per  month)  paid  our  nurses, 
we  are  obliged  to  put  up  with  very  indifferent  services  in  many  respects, 
and  changes  are  of  frequent  occurrence.  As  only  one  nurse  for  each 
ward  is  allowed,  the  work  is  often  very  hard,  too  much  so  to  enable 
them  to  attend  to  all  their  duties  efficiently.  Hence  apparent  neglect 
and  occasional  untidiness.  They  are,  as  a  general  rule,  taken  from  among 
such  patients  as  show  some  aptitude  for  such  service;  but  if  they  hap- 
pen to  be  strong  and  a  little  ambitious,  they  soon  seek  for  more  remun- 
erative employment,  or,  being  unsteady  and  restless  in  disposition  and 
of  bad  habits,  they  soon  tire  and  return  to  their  former  mode  of  life. 
All  this  can  be  obviated  by  giving  such  pay  as  will  secure  the  services 
of  able-bodied  as  well  as  trained  nurses.  1  hope  this  matter  will  receive 
serious  consideration. 

In  my  last  report,  I  recommended  the  employment  of  a  drug  clerk  to 
attend  to  the  dispensary.  We  have  a  daily  average  of  41  prescriptions, 
not  only  to  be  put  up,  but  to  be  labeled,  recorded,  and  dispensed,  and 
the  various  other  duties  connected  with  the  dispensary  are  fully  sufficient 
to  engage  the  time  of  one  person.  All  these  duties  now  devolve  upon 
the  medical  officer,  and  prevent  them  from  doing  many  things  of  im- 
portance in  connection  with  their  hospital  work;  I  mention  particularly 
a  full  medical  history  of  important  cases.  As  it  is  now,  many  impor- 
tant observations  are  unavoidably  lost  to  us. 

The  sanitary  and  hygienic  condition  of  the  alms  and  work  houses  has 
been  entirelv  satisfactory  during  the  past  year.  No  epidemic  has  vis- 
ited either  of  these  institutions,  and  good  order  and  discipline  have  been 
well  maintained. 

Respectfully,  &c,

N. — REPORT  OF  COLUMBIA  HOSPITAL  FOR  WOMEN  AXD 

LYING-IN  ASYLUM. 

Columbia  Hospital, 
Washington,  D.  C,  November  9,  1881. 

Gentlemen  :  The  board  of  directors  of  the  Columbia  Hospital  for 
Women  and  Lying-in  Asylum  herewith  transmit  the  annual  reports 
from  the  surgeon-in-charge,  the  advisory  board  of  physicians  and  sur- 
geons, and  the  matron  j  as  also  the  treasurer's  statement  of  receipts  and 
expenditures,  with  the  necessary  certificates. 

It  needs  but  the  reading  of  these  papers  to  make  clear  both  the  grow- 
ing usefulness  of  the  hospital,  and  the  importance  of  the  special  place 
it  fills  in  ministering  to  those  in  sickness  and  suffering. 

We  call  your  especial  attention  to  the  explanation  given  both  by  the 
surgeon-in-charge  and  by  the  advisory  board  as  to  the  very  pressing 
necessity  for  the  enlargement  of  the  hospital  building :  and  we  ask  your 
aid  in  securing  the  appropriation  from  Congress  of  the  money  needed 
for  it.  Without  it,  we  shall  have  reason  to  dread  the  return  of  the  un- 
favorable causes  w  hich  have  operated  against  our  full  success  in  treat- 
ment during  the  past  year.  With  the  moderate  outlay  it  will  require, 
the  comfort  of  the  inmates  will  be  promoted,  and  our  power  for  useful- 
ness largely  increased.  We  press  the  matter  for  the  thoughtful  consid- 
eration of  the  Commissioners  and  of  Congress. 
Respectfully,  on  behalf  of  the  board, 

WILLIAM  PARKT, 

President. 

NOBLE  YOUNG, 

Vice-President. 

Hon.  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia. 


To  the  Board  of  Directors,  Columbia  Hospital  for  Women  and  Lying-in 

Asylum: 

Gentlemen:  During  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881,  1,01)2 
patients  received  treatment  at  the  Columbia  Hospital  for  Women. 

Of  these  721  belonged  to  the  out  door  department  and  371  were  in- 
mates of  the  hospital. 


136    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

The  accompanying  tabulated  statement  furnishes  such  information  as 
will  lead  to  a  correct  understanding  of  the  amount  and  character  of  the 
work  accomplished  during  the  year  just  closed. 

There  are  several  matters  of  importance  to  which  I  would  respect- 
fully call  your  attention. 

As  you  will  perceive,  the  mortality  (7)  during  the  past  fiscal  year  is 
greater  than  that  of  any  preceding  year  since  the  hospital  has  been  un- 
der my  care.  This  will  he  accounted  for  in  part  by  the  character  of  the 
cases  that  terminated  fatally,  and  in  part  also  by  an  outbreak  of  puer- 
peral fever  in  the  colored  lying-in  ward. 

Of  the  7  deaths  occurring  2  were  from  malignant  disease  of  the  uterus. 
-  from  tuberculous  inflammation  of  the  bowels,  2  from  puerperal  septi- 
caemia, ami  1  \\a>  from  ecbolic  thrombosis  following  phlegmasia  alba 
dolens. 

On  February  !>.  1881,  the  time  of  the  outbreak  of  puerperal  fever, 
there  were  in  the  house  Hi  obstetrical  patients,  7  white  and  12  colored. 
2  of  each  awaiting  confinement,  the  colored  lying-in  ward  being  full 
to  its  utmost  capacity  It  was  deemed  advisable,  as  a  precautionary 
measure,  to  send  out  the  i>  undelivered  colored  patients.  A  sufficient 
time  had  .-lapsed  between  the  delivery  of:;  of  the  patients  and  the  out- 
break ol  the  lewr  to  remove  all  danger  of  infection,  thus  leaving  1L>  ex- 
posed. Of  this  number  5  were  affected  with  the  fever,  2  mildly  and  :i 
severely.  Two  of  these  succumbed  to  its  effects;  the  others  finally  re- 
n.vered.  The  i  who  escaped  did  not  by  any  means  make  satisfacrorv 
recoveries  from  parturition;  sw  ollen  glands  and  threatened  mammary 
abscesses,  giving  unmistakable  evidence  of  the  presence  of  septic  poison-

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  137 


is  sufficient  to  say  that  after  having  been  at  the  point  of  death  for  more 
than  a  week,  with  a  pulse  at  times  too  rapid  to  be  counted,  and  tempera- 
ture ranging  from  103°  to  105.9°,  convalescence  finally  set  in  and  pro- 
gressed, with  but  one  severe  relapse,  until  patient  left  for  her  home  on 
May  24. 

There  is  no  difficulty  in  ascertaining  the  cause  of  this  outbreak.  From 
September  8,  1880,  to  March  23,  1881,  the  lying-in  cases  were  exposed 
almost  continuously  to  septic  influences,  not  only  because1  of  the  crowded 
condition  of  the  two  lying-in  wards,  but  also  because  of  their  proximity 
to  the  medical  and  surgical  wards ;  emanations  from  the  foetid  discharges 
almost  constantly  present  in  the  surgical  ward  permeating*  both  lying-in 
wards. 

The  necessity  for  a  complete  separation  or  isolation  is  apparent  from 
what  I  have  stated,  and  hence  the  necessity  of  having  two  distinct  de- 
partments of  the  hospital.  •  I  would  earnestly  urge  what  in  my  annual 
report  of  last  yearAvas  recommended,  viz,  that  the  building  be  extended 
on  the  west  wing,  in  order  not  only  to  afford  proper  accommodations 
for  the  dispensary  and  assistants,  but  also  to  increase  the  capacity  of 
the  medical  and  surgical  ward,  where  cases  during  the  time  of  recovery 
from  surgical  operations  can  be  freed  from  the  annoyance  incident  to 
occupancy  in  the  main  ward.  There  are  at  present  no  separate  rooms 
lor  such  purposes,  and  the  need  of  such  apartments  is  daily  apparent. 
I  would  also  recommend  that  from  the  pay-patient  fund  now  on  hand 
another  cottage  be  erected  upon  the  grounds  surrounding  the  hospital, 
using  it  as  a  delivery  room  from  which  patients  can  be  transferred  to 
the  main  building  to  await  convalescence. 

Your  attention  is  invited  to  the  urgent  necessity  for  placing  an  ele- 
vator in  the  building.  The  need  of  such  a  convenience  becomes  more 
and  more  apparent.  The  limited  number  of  servants  at  our  disposal 
renders  the  serving  of  meals  in  the  different  wards  a  matter  of  serious 
difficulty,  and  we  are  compelled  to  require  all  those  who  are  at  all  able 
to  walkj  to  come  down  stairs  to  their  meals.  This  is  a  source  of  discom- 
fort, fatigue,  and  in  some  instances  suffering  to  the  patients.  Then 
again,  it  is  often  a  matter  of  considerable  difficulty  to  get  very  ill  pa- 
tients to  the  wards  and  to  remove  patients  to  and  from  the  operating 
room.  The  ascent  and  descent  of  several  flights  of  stairs  is  very  trying 
at  times,  and  the  remedy  which  an  elevator  would  supply  should  be 
furnished  at  the  earliest  possible  moment. 

Another  matter  which  demands  consideration  is  the  placing  of  fire 
escapes  upon  the  building.  The  experience  of  the  past  year  gives  ample 
evidence  of  the  necessity  for  affording  this  means  of  protection  to  the 
inmates.  Two  fires  occurred  on  the  premises  during  the  year — one  in 
the  main  building,  and  one  in  the  stable.  The  former  resulted  from  a 
burning  match  being  thrown  into  a  register  by  one  of  the  patients;  it 
coming  in  contact  with  some  inflammable  material,  ignited  and  broke 
out  into  what  might  have  been  a  very  serious  fire.  The  fire  department 
responded  promptlv,  however,  and  by  their  decisive  and  efficient  action 
stamped  it  out  before  any  headway  was  obtained.  I  desire  to  return 
my  sincere  thanks  to  the  officers  and  men  of  the  department  for  their 
timely  services  and  well-directed  efforts  on  the  occasion  named.  This 
fire  might  have  resulted  iu  serious  loss  of  property,  and  perhaps  life. 
In  addition  to  the  precautions  already  taken  to  prevent  the  repetition  of 
such  an  accident,  1  would  earnestly  recommend  the  construction  of  tire 
escapes,  whereby  exit  from  the  upper  floors  can  be  readily  had.  The 
cause  of  the  lire  at  the  stable  is  as  yet  unknown. 

The  water  supply  of  the  building  is  inadequate,  and  it  is  suggested 


138    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


that  a  tank  be  erected  in  the  upper  story,  and  a  force  pump  be  supplied, 
whereby  the  tank  may  be  kept  constantly  filled,  and  a  sufficient  supply 
for  all  purposes  guaranteed. 

1  have  to  thank  most  sincerely  the  gentlemen  of  the  advisory  board 
of  physicians  and  surgeons  for  their  uniform  kindness  and  courtesy,  and 
to  acknowledge  my  indebtedness  to  the  nurses  and  employes  for  their 
faithful  discharge  of  duty.

To  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Columbia  Hospital: 

Gentlemen:  We  have  the  honor  to  submit  a  report  of  the  advisory 
board  of  physicians  and  surgeons  of  this  hospital  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  June  30,  1881. 

The  successful  results  of  treatment  employed  in  the  hospital  are  again 
evident,  and  a  source  of  congratulation  to  all  concerned,  and  although 
the  rate  of  mortality  has  somewhat  increased,  this  need  not  excite  sur- 


142     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


prise  when  the  character  of  the  cases  is  considered  as  shown  by  the 
record. 

From  onr  experience,  observations  and  constant  inspections,  we  are 
prepared  to  state  that  we  do  not  feel  that  the  outbreak  of  puerperal  sep- 
ticemia was  due  to  any  negligence  or  want  of  care  on  the  part  of  any 
one  connected  with  the  institution,  but  rather  to  a  lack  of  accommoda- 
tions for  lying-in  cases,  and  their  thorough  separation  and  isolation  from 
the  surgical  patients  ;  and  we  feel  it  our  duty  to  again  renew  the  sug- 
gestion and  recommendation  made  to  the  board  of  directors  in  our  last 
annual  report  in  regard  to  the  extension  of  the  building. 

During  the  prevalence  of  this  disease  the  most  careful  and  especial 
attention  was  paid  to  cleanliness  and  disinfection,  though  apparently, 
and  as  is  generally  the  case,  without  much  benefit;  and,  as  a  matter  of 
interest,  it  should  be  mentioned  that  of  all  the  obstetrical  cases  treated  in 
the  new  cottages,  in  no  instance  has  an  unfavorable  symptom  developed, 
thereby  confirming  the  wisdom  displayed  in  their  erection ;  and  it  is 
suggested  that,  in  case  an  appropriation  for  the  extension  of  the  build- 
ing cannot  be  obtained,  an  additional  cottage  be  erected. 

The  records  of  the  hospital  show  an  increase  in  the  number  of  out 
door  patients  of  over  two  hundred  and  fifty  (250),  which  is  gratifying 
evidence  that  the  benefits  of  this  charity  are  rally  appreciated. 

It  is  still  evident  that  the  water  supply  of  the  building  is  deficient, 
and  it  is  suggested  that  some  means  be  adopted  to  meet  this  want,  and 
we  reiterate  our  recommendation  for  the  introduction  of  hot  and  cold 
water  into  the  consulting  and  operating  room. 

We  learned  with  regret  that  our  recommendation  for  the  publication 
of  a  report  of  cases  treated  in  the  hospital  since  our  connection  with  the 
institution  failed  to  meet  with  approval.  As  there  is  a  constant  and 
ever  increasing  demand  for  such  information  as  this  report  could  furnish, 
we  again  renew  the  suggestion. 

Under  the  able,  conscientious,  and  careful  management  of  the  present 
surgeon-in-charge,  the  affairs  of  the  hospital  have  prospered,  and  we 
again,  as  heretofore,  express  our  appreciation  of  his  valuable  services. 

Respectfully  submitted.

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  145 


Washington,  October  1,  1881. 
I  have  periodically  inspected  the  hospital  and  property  in  its  use,  and 
have  made  a  careful  examination  of  tbe  same  just  previous  to  this  re- 
port. I  find  the  expenditures  for  household  furniture  and  property  of 
all  kinds  to  have  been  made  with  a  strict  view  to  economy.  The  supply 
is  no  more  than  absolutely  necessary.  Due  care  seems  to  have  been 
habitually  taken  for  the  preservation  of  all  the  articles  belonging  to  the 
hospital.

O. — REPORT  OF  TOE  CHILDREN'S  HOSPITAL. 

Washington,  D.  0.,  October  1,  1881. 

Gentlemen  :  I  present  herewith  for  3Tour  consideration,  a  report  of 
the  practical  workings  of  the  Children's  Hospital  of  the  District  of 
Columbia,  from  December  1,  1880,  to  October  1,  1881,  embracing  a  pe- 
riod of  ten  months.    Upon  an  examination  of  the  last  annual  report  of 
the  hospital  for  the  year  ending  December  1, 1880,  a  copy  of  which  was 
submitted  to  yon,  it  will  be  found  that  57  children  were  under  treatment 
at  that  date.    During  the  ten  months  from  December  1,  1880,  to  Sep- 
tember 30,  1881,  114  children  have  been  admitted,  68  white,  46  black, 
making  a  total  of  171  children  under  16  years  of  age  who  have  received 
medical  and  surgical  treatment,  with  all  their  wants  supplied  by  the 
institution,  during  the  time  stated,  and  making  a  daily  average  of 
patients,  and  leaving  at  this  date  47  children  under  treatment. 

On  the  1st  of  December,  18S0,  75  children  were  under  treatment  in 
the  dispensary  ;  and  from  that  date  to  September  30, 1881,  ten  months, 
708  patients  have  been  admitted,  275  white,  523  black,  making  a  total 
of  873  patients  in  this  most  important  branch  of  the  hospital  who  have 
received  surgical  and  medical  treatment;  and  adding  thereto  the  1^2 
hospital  patients,  those  who  have  occupied  beds  in  the  hospital,  makes 
a  total  of  1,045  suffering  children  who  have  been  the  beneficiaries  ot  this 

10  D  c

charitable  institution.  During  the  time  stated  6,160  prescriptions  have 
been  compounded,  2,820  for  hospital  patients  and  3,334  for  those  m  the 
dispensary,  and  32  surgical  operations  have  been  performed.  Of  the 
171  patients  treated  in  the  hospital  during  the  ten  months,  08  were  cured 
and  discharged,  41  improved  and  removed  by  their  parents,  and  o  unim- 
proved and  removed,  and  20  have  died,  leaving  under  treatment  Sep- 
tember 30,  1881,  47  patients. 

This  exhibit  will,  it  is  believed,  impress  you  with  the  usefulness,  as 
also  the  necessity,  of  an  institution  of  this  character,  which  has  con- 
tributed so  largely  to  the  amelioration  of  the  suffering  class  of  our  popu- 
lation, who  have  found  relief  through  its  benevolent  workings,  and  at  a 
mere  nominal  expense  to  the  District  government;  Congress  appro- 
priating each  year  simply  $5,000  towards  its  maintenance  and  support, 
and  the  moiety  <»l  which  alone  is  charged  to  the  District  government. 

Since  the  date  of  the  organization  of  the  hospital,  December  2,  1870, 
to  the  present,  embracing  a  period  of  eleven  years,  it  has  been  princi- 
pally supported  by  the  voluntary  contributions  of  our  philanthropic 
citizens,  and  through  whose  liberality  the  board  of  directors  have  been 
able  to  construct  a  hospital  with  all  the  modern  improvements  and 
appliances,  requisite  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  was  founded,  which 
is  an  ornament  to  our  city,  and  recognized  as  superior  to  any  institution 
of  the  character  in  the  country. 

From  the  treasurer's  report,  it  will  be  found  that  the  receipts  and  ex- 
penditures on  account  of  the  hospital,  from  December  1,  1880,  to  Sep- 
tember 30, 1881,  ten  months,  were  as  follows:

The  disbursements  from  December  1,  1880,  to  October  1,  1881,  ten

g  June  30, 1882,  $3,750,  makes  a  total  of  $3,852.57  for  the  maintenance 
and  support  of  the  hospital  for  the  ei^ht  months  terminating  June,  30, 

The  only  paid  employes  of  the  hospital  are  the  matron,  4  nurses,  and 
5  servants,  making  a  total  of  ten  ;  which,  added  to  the  171  patients, 
makes  a  total  of  183  persons,  including  the  resident  physician  and  his 
assistants  who  have  been  inmates  of  the  hospital  during  the  past  ten

person,  or  $1.1G  and  a  fraction  per  day,  if  including  the  gross  expenses, 
with  the  interest  account,  expended  during  the  time  stated.  It  will  be 
found  upon  an  examination  of  the  records  and  accounts  of  the  hospital, 
that  its  affairs  are  conducted  witli  the  greatest  economy,  and  that 
thorough  system  prevails  in  its  respective  departments. 

During  the  ensuing  year,  it  is  believed  that  the  indebtedness  of  the 
hospital, amounting  to  $7,000,  will  be  paid,  which  will  lessen  the  annual 
expenditure  in  the  matter  of  interest. 

During  the  past  month  a  tank  has  been  constructed,  which  will  fur- 
nish the  respective  wards  of  the  hospital  with  an  abundant  supply  of 
water,  which  is  so  necessary,  not  only  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the 
inmates,  but  for  the  security  of  the  building  in  the  event  of  lire. 

The  grounds  of  the  hospital  have  been  improved,  and  it  is  contem- 
plated to  make  further  improvements  during  the  next  year  by  planting 
shade  trees  and  laying  out  the  grounds;  and  when  completed,  will  pre- 
sent an  attractive  appearance,  and  add  materially  to  the  improvement 
of  the  convalescent  patients  of  the  institution. 

The  thanks  of  the  board  of  directors  and  lady  visitors,  are  tendered  to 
your  board,  for  the  introduction  of  a  gas  lamp  in  front  of  the  building  on 
W  street,  and  for  the  promise  given  by  you  for  the  improvement  during 
the  fall,  of  the  roadway  on  that  street,  and  the  approaches  to  the  hos- 
pital; which,  when  completed,  will  add  materially  to  the  convenience 
of  the  physicians  and  others  identified  with  the  institution,  and  who 
have  business  with  it;  as  this  roadway,  since  the  construction  of  the 
building,  has  been  almost  impassable  during  the  winter,  rendering  it 
difficult  and  dangerous  in  reaching  it  ;  and  as  the  demands  upon  the 
hospital  are  increasing  each  year,  every  facility  should  be  afforded  by 
your  board  to  our  citizens,  in  reaching  it  without  difficulty;  and  we  there- 
fore respectfully  request  that  the  proper  estimates  may  be  made  by  you 
for  the  permanent  improvement  of  this  street. 

In  conclusion,  the  board  of  directors  and  lady  visitors  of  the  institu- 
tion, would  be  gratified  if  the  members  of  your  board,  collectively  or  in- 
dividually, would  make  monthly  inspections  of  the  hospital,  to  enable  you 
to  determine  the  effectiveness  of  its  workings,  and  the  economy  and  sys- 
tem characterizing  its  management,  with  reference  to  embracing  in  your 
annual  report  to  Congress,  recommendation  for  the  appropriation  of 
$5,000  towards  its  maintenance  and  support. 

I  have  the  honor  to  be,  with  great  respect,  your  obedient  servant,

148     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

The  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia  : 

Gentlemen:  In  behalf  of  the  board  of  managers  of  the  Industrial 
Home  School  we  bog  to  present  the  following  report  for  the  past  year: 

In  so  far  as  our  report  relates  to  receipts  and  expenditures  of  money, 
it  is  made  to  cover  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881;  but  in  order 
more  fully  to  show  the  condition  and  progress  of  the  institution,  it  has 
been  deemed  desirable  to  extend  the  report  to  the  30th  day  of  Septem- 
ber last. 

The  revenues  of  the  school  for  the  last  fiscal  year  were  as  follows : 

July  1,  1880: 

Amount  on  hand   .1451  51 

Appropriation  of  Congress    10,000  00

Balance  on  hand  June  30,  1881   i  (J55  13 

In  explanation  of  the  foregoing,  it  should  be  stated  that  the  school  as 
yet  derives  no  revenues  from  any  of  the  industries  connected  therewith, 
except  from  the  manuiacture  and  sale  of  tree-boxes ;  and,  as  will  be  seen 
from  the  statement  elsewhere  given,  the  expense  incident  to  that  branch 
ot  industry  very  nearly  equals  the  amount  received  from  the  sale  of  the 
work,  leaving  as  the  main  reliance  for  the  support  of  the  institution  the 
appropriations  made  by  Congress.  In  its  proper  order  we  propose  to 
show  that  the  amount  thus  received  is  inadequate  to  the  wants  of  the 
school,  and  to  assign  what  seem  to  us  potent  reasons  for  a  more  liberal 
appropriation. 

A  change  in  the  office  of  superintendent  was  made  February  15,  caused 
by  the  resignation  of  Mr.  L.  Barnes.  Mr.  W.  S.  Stockbridge  was  em- 
ployed as  his  successor,  at  an  annual  salary  of  $1,000,  which  amount  is 
to  cover  the  salaries  oi  matron  and  housekeeper 

The  number  of  inmates  cared  for  from  October  1,  1880,  to  September 
30,  1 88 1 ,  is,  boys  <>!>,  girls  40,  total  100. 

Of  these,  the  number  received  din  ing  the  year  is  37.

The  grounds  immediately  surrounding  the  main  building  have  been 
graded  and  ornamented  with  flower  beds. 

In  addition  to  the  swimming-pond  a  small  fish-pond  has  been  exca- 
vated, for  which  the  excellent  spring  adjacent  to  the  houses  furnishes 
an  abundance  of  water. 

The  cottage  provided  for  in  the  appropriation  for  the  present  fiscal  year 
was  contracted  to  be  built  for  the  sum  of  $4,006,  and  on  the  28th  day 
of  May  ground  was  broken  in  the  presence  of  many  friends  of  the 
institution,  and  with  appropriate  ceremonies.  The  building  is  now 
rapidly  approaching  completion,  and  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  before 
the  beginning  of  winter. 

As  an  adjunct  to  the  cottage,  a  brick  spring-house  has  been  erected, 
at  an  expense  of  $1(>5. 

Other  improvements  of  a  minor  character  have  been  made,  all  of  which 
serve  to  add  greatly  to  the  comfort  and  convenience  of  the  Home. 

SCHOOLS. 

The  experience  of  each  succeeding  year  serves  only  to  increase  the 
gratitude  of  the  managers  to  the  board  of  trustees  of  public  schools  for 
their  generous  action  in  organizing  schools  and  providing  teachers  for 
the  same  at  the  Home. 

The  meager  appropriation  for  the  Home  was  thereby  relieved  of  an 
onerous  outlay,  and  the  result  has  shown  that  the  children  have  made 
better  progress  in  their  studies.  In  fact  when  the  varied  ages,  mental 
attainments,  and  former  conditions  of  the  pupils  are  considered,  the 
public  school  at  the  Home  will  compare  favorably  with  the  other  schools 
of  the  District.  At  the  annual  exhibition  of  drawing  and  penmanship 
of  the  public  schools  of  the  district,  held  at  Franklin  school  building, 
this  school  was  represented  in  both  of  these  branches  of  instruction. 
In  addition,  the  industrial  processes  were  represented  by  a  class  of 
pupils  engaged  in  shoemaking. 

There  were  also  exhibitions  of  scroll-sawing,  and  samples  of  sewing, 
bread  and  cake  making,  and  a  miniature  representation  of  landscape 
gardening.  The  exhibition  attracted  much  attention,  and  was  favorably 
commented  upon  by  the  large  number  of  visitors  present. 

There  being  many  of  the  children  who  are  below  the  school  age,  it 
became  necessary  to  establish  a  school  to  be  conducted  on  the  Kinder- 
garten system.    The  result  has  been  highly  satisfactory. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  present  school  year  seven  of  the  pupils  wTere 
found  to  be  qualified  for  a  grade  higher  than  that  taught  at  the  Home 
and  it  was  thought  best  to  permit  them  to  attend  the  proper  school  in 
Georgetown. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  a  portion  of  the  time  of  some  of  the  pupils 
must  be  applied  to  instruction  in  the  industrial  branches  in  hours  which 
interrupt  the  regular  school  studies,  it  is  hoped  that  the  board  of  trus- 
tees will  provide  special  rules  which  will  meet  the  case  and  thus  permit 
the  two  branches  of  education  to  be  carried  on  without  interfering  with 
each  other. 

THE  INDUSTRIES. 

Aside  from  the  special  schools  connected  with  the  Home,  under  the 
discreet  management  of  the  superintendent,  all  boys  who  possess  the  age 
and  strength  so  to  do,  are  from  time  to  time  employed  in  work  varied  in 
nature,  such  as  preparing  walks  on  the  grounds,  attending  to  household 
duties,  cultivating  the  garden,  and  such  other  acts  of  labor  as  occasion 


150    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

may  require.  It  is  of  course  true  that  they  can  only  perform  boys'  labor, 
and  as  a  rule  performed  it  after  the  manner  of  boys.  They  have  neither 
the  age  nor  the  strength  to  enable  them  to  assume  entire  charge  of  any 
given  task,  nor,  as  a  rule,  have  they  the  habits  of  industry  to  lead  them 
voluntarily  to  work  faithfully  when  not  under  the  eye  of  a  superintend- 
ent. Still,  the  results  are  ail  that  could  have  been  expected  from  any 
class  of  similar  age.  Through  an  arrangement  made  by  the  superintend- 
ent with  the  contractor  for  building  the  cottage,  the  boys  entered  into 
a  subcontract  to  excavate  the  cellar.  They  were  allowed  pay  for  this, 
and  completed  the  job  with  alacrity.  Many  of  them  were  allowed  to 
plant  small  gardens,  the  products  of  which  were  to  be  their  own.  All 
started  in  with  zeal,  but  many  lost  their  enthusiasm  with  the  advent  of 
hot  weather,  while  others  faithfully  continued  to  the  end  with  creditable 
results. 

In  connection  with  this  class  of  industries,  it  may  be  proper  to  refer 
to  the 

HOME  GARDEN. 

The  report  of  the  superintendent  shows  that  the  living  expenses  have- 
been  materially  lessened  this  year  by  the  success  of  the  garden,  to  which 
the  labor  of  the  boys  has  to  a  large  degree  contributed.  Not  only  have 
the  expenses  been  reduced,  but  the  inmates  have  been  provided  with  a 
more  bountiful  and  varied  table. 

THE  GREENHOUSE. 

The  facilities  for  teaching  horticulture  were  enlarged  during  the  year 
by  the  erection  of  a  propagating  house  wherein  the  pupils  have  been 
taught  the  process  of  growing  plants  by  the  objective  method,  each 
pupil  doing  the  work  prescribed  by  the  teacher.  The  house  is  103  feet 
long  by  24  feet  wide,  and  cost  about  $2,000.  An  appropriation  of  $2U0 
was  recently  made  by  the  board  of  managers  for  the  purpose  of  stocking 
the  house  with  winter  flowering  plants,  and  it  is  hoped  that  this  branch 
of  industry  will  prove  to  be  an  attractive  and  profitable  feature  of  indus- 
trial training. 

SIIOEMAKING  DEPARTMENT. 

The  report  of  the  teacher  of  shoemaking  shows  that  43  pupils  have

taught  overhanding,  felling,  hemming,  and  the  making  of  patchwork, 
while  the  older  class  is  instructed  in  finer  sewing  and  the  putting  to- 
gether of  garments.  Besides  sewing,  the  girls  old  enough  for  the  task 
have  regular  household  duties  to  perform  each  day,  and  those  most  ma- 
ture are  taught  bread-making  and  plain  cooking. 

THE  HEALTH  OF  THE  INMATES. 

The  location  of  the  school  has  been  known  for  years  prior  to  its  present 
use  as  a  remarkably  healthful  one.  Its  elevated  situation  insures  pure  air, 
while  the  never-failing  spring  furnishes  a  constant  supply  of  pure  water. 
With  many  of  the  children  when  first  entering  the  school  the  results  of 
former  unfavorable  sanitary  conditions  of  life  are  painfully  apparent, 
but  a  residence  of  a  few  months  at  the  Home  seldom  fails  to  remove  all 
traces  of  ill  health  when  not  caused  by  diseases  inherited  from  dissolute 
parents. 

The  present  year,  however,  has  been  marked  with  an  unusual  amount 
of  sickness,  owing  to  the  advent  of  the  measles  among  the  children.  At 
one  time  2<>  were  ill  with  the  disease.  No  adequate  hospital  accommo- 
dations were  at  hand,  and  a  hospital-room  had  to  be  improvised  and 
nurses  employed.  But  one  death  occurred,  that  of  Cora  Gray,  aged  four 
years.  This,  with  a  death  which  occurred  in  1878,  is  the  extent  of  the 
mortality  list  since  the  school  has  occupied  its  present  location. 

Moved  by  a  realization  of  the  need  of  better  provision  to  meet  such 
exigencies,  some  of  the  friends  of  the  institution  held  a  fair  at  the  house 
of  Dr.  f).  P.  li.  Appleby,  in  Georgetown,  which  resulted  in  securing  a  fund 
of  $120  for  hospital  purposes. 

The  swimming-pool  has  proved  to  be  an  excellent  sanitary  feature 
for  children  of  both  sexes,  to  whom  it  is  a  never  failing  attraction  in  the 
Summer.  Its  usefulness  is  further  shown  in  the  fact  that  seventeen  of 
the  inmates  learned  to  swim  during  the  last  season. 

The  managers  desire  to  express  their  thanks  to  the  directors  of  the 
Children's  Hospital,  who  have  very  kindly  granted  them  the  privilege  of 
sending  children  needing  special  treatment  to  that  excellent  institution. 

As  a  summary  of  the  proceedings  of  the  year,  it  can  be  said  the  Home 
has  made  greater  advances  than  in  any  previous  year.  More  has  been 
accomplished  in  every  department  with  a  proportionately  smaller  outlay 
of  money. 

We  feel  it  is  but  simple  justice  to  state  that  much  of  this  is  due  to  the 
efficiency  of  our  superintendent.  Under  his  supervision  the  premises 
have  been  greately  improved  externally  and  internally,  better  discipline 
prevails  among  the  children,  and  in  the  purchase  of  articles  needed  for 
the  Borne  a  great  reduction  in  prices  has  been  effected. 

THE  OBJECT  AND  WANTS  OF  THE  HOME. 

Before  closing  this  report  the  managers  beg  to  add  a  few  words  respect- 
ing the  Home  for  the  better  information  of  the  public,  hoping  thereby 
to  enlist  the  good  citizens  of  the  District  in  efforts  in  its  behalf.  The 
Industrial  Home  School  supplies  a  much  needed  want  in  the  way  of  pub- 
lic charity  in  the  District.  It  is  not  an  orphan  asylum,  although  orphans 
are  admitted.  It  is  not  reformatory,  but  on  the  contrary  seeks  for  its  in- 
mates those  who  are  not  naturally  vicious.  It  is  rather  a  child-saving 
institution  to  which  are  admitted  children  of  either  sex,  who  are  left  iu 
such  condition  of  life  as  to  endanger  their  future  usefulness  in  the  world. 
They  may  be  orphans  or  they  may  be  the  children  of  dissolute  parents. 
There  is  no  institution  aside  from  this  to  which  the  last  named  class  can 

I 


152     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


be  sent— or  they  may  be  the  children  of  destitute  parents.  While  the 
parents  may  find  refuge  in  the  almshouse,  it  will  be  conceded  that  an 
institution  of  that  kind,  even  when  most  favorably  managed,  is  hardly  a 
proper  place  in  which  to  rear  young  children.  The  same  may  be  said  ot 
children  of  mothers  who  are  committed  to  our  prisons.  For  all  these 
classes  the  Home  provides  the  only  refuge  among  our  public  chanties. 
In  caring  tor  such  inmates  it  is  intended  to  afford  a  moderate  education 
for  the  head  stud  the  hand.  As  rapidly  as  is  consistent  with  the  weltare 
of  the  children,  suitable  homes  are  provided  them,  usually  in  the  country. 
The  last  year  has  been  a  fortunate  one  in  this  respect,  there  having  been 
more  of  a  demand  for  children  than  the  Home  could  supply  from  those 
who  were  of  sufficient  age  to  be  sent  out,  which  demand  has  doubtless 
been  created  through  a  better  knowledge  on  the  part  of  the  public  of  the 
system  on  which  the  Home  is  conducted.  The  applications  for  admis- 
sion to  the  Home  have  been  largely  in  excess  of  our  ability  to  grant,  and 
in  many  cases  great  hardship  has  been  the  result. 
We  need  more  room  and  more  money. 

Viewed  from  the  standpoint  of  charity,  the  management  think  large 
appropriations  should  be  provided.  It  is  better  to  prevent  pauperism 
by  fitting  these  children  for  the  struggle  of  life  than  to  permit  them  to 
grow  up  as  mendicants. 

Viewed  from  the  standpoint  of  economy,  the  Home  deserves  better 
recognition.  It  is  more  economical  to  prevent  crime  than  to  punish  it. 
The  expense  incurred  in  the  conviction  and  punishment  of  juvenile 
offenders  in  the  District  far  overbalances  what  would  answer  the  pur- 
poses of  the  Home  in  the  prevention  of  crime. 

By  carefully  taking  children  from  unworthy  parents,  by  educating 
them  and  training  them  in  habits  of  industry,  by  surrounding  them  with 
refining  and  moral  influences,  and  providing  them  with  profitable  homes, 
the  state  will  lessen  its  future  army  of  vagabonds,  and  reduce  the  num- 
ber of  crimes  and  criminals. 

Our  object  is  to  give  back  to  the  District  in  return  for  money  ex- 
pended on  the  Home,  good  men  and  women  who,  under  other  influences, 
would  probably  become  either  paupers  or  criminals.

T. — REPORT  OF  THE  CENTRAL  FREE  DISPENSARY. 

Office  Central  Free  Dispensary 

and  Emergency  Hospital, 
Washington,  D.  C,  August  31,  1881. 

Gentlemen  :  I  am  instructed  by  resolution  of  the  board  of  directors 
of  the  Central  Dispensary  and  Emergency  Hospital  to  bring  to  your 
attention  the  great  worth  of  the  remedial  charity  we  have  in  charge,  and 
to  ask  that  in  your  next  annual  estimates  it  may  be  placed  upon  the 
regular  list  of  public  charities,  and  that  an  annual  appropriation  of  $5,000 
be  asked  for  its  support  from  Congress,  to  be  disbursed  by  the  Commis- 
sioners of  the  District  of  Columbia. 

The  last  annual  report  of  the  dispensary  (copy  herewith)  shows  that 
during  the  year  ending  March  31,  1881,  nearly  19,000  prescriptions  had 
been  given  and  compounded  in  the  institution  ;  that  it  had,  during  that 
year,  been  visited  by  nearly  0,000  new  patients,  and  that  171  surgical 
operations  had  been  performed. 

With  such  a  showing  as  this,  we  may  surely  hope  to  be  classed  among 
the  public  charities  of  the  city. 

In  addition  to  this  we  have,  since  July  1, 1881,  in  order  to  meet  a  press- 
ing public  need,  embodied  in  our  institution  an  emergency  hospital,  and 
have  removed  to  a  central  location,  at  a  heavy  increase  of  expense,  in 
order  to  afford  the  best  facilities  for  receiving  and  attending  all  casualty 
and  accident  cases.  That  the  service  has  proved  a  desideratum,  we  need 
only  refer  to  the  police  reports  to  demonstrate  how  completely  it  has  met 
the  public  needs. 

In  a  work  of  this  character  the  service  constantly  and  rapidly  extends, 
and  the  expense  is  proportionately  increased.  It  has  even  now  out- 
grown the  slender  and  precarious  support  of  private  contributions,  and 
we  are  compelled  to  appeal  for  Congressional  aid. 

With  commensurate  funds  the  service  can  be  lifted  beyond  the  griping 
economies  which  so  frequently  paralyze  the  best  professional  effort. 
I  am  yours,  respectfully,  &c, 

J.  B.  WILSON, 

President. 

Hon.  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia.

156     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


It  vaccinates  all  who  apply. 

It  is  the  most  important  sanitary  protector,  and  by  far  the  most  inexpensive  charity, 
ever  established  in  this  city. 

It  is  beneficial  to  the  taxpayers,  for  it  keeps  many  of  the  sick  poor  and  their  fami- 
lies from  becoming  a  charge  on  the  city,  in  the  hospital  and  almshouse. 

Its  managers  and  attending  physicians  all  serve  without  pay. 

It  is  largely  dependent  upon  voluntary  contributions  for  its  support. 

To  enable  it  to  do  this  useful  and  humane  work,  it  asks  from  you  an  annual  contri- 
bution for  its  necessary  expenses. 

It  needs  this  from  you  and  THE  FRIENDS  of  the  sick  poor  now. 

Contributing  members  are  requested  to  pay  their  annual  dues  to  the  treasurer  of  the 
dispensary  on  or  before  the  1st  day  of  April,  each  year. 

All  who  desire  to  obtain  a  better  personal  knowledge  of  the  necessity  for  such  insti- 
tutions, their  practical  work  for  and  benefit  to  the  sick  poor,  and  their  claims  on  the 
liberality  of  our  citizens,  are  invited  to  visit  the  dispensary  and  judge  for  themselves. 

''Withhold  not  good  from  them  to  whom  it  is  due,  when  it  is  in  the  power  of  thine 
hand  to  do  it.  Say  not  unto  thy  neighbor,  '  Go,  and  come  again,  and  to-morrow  I  will 
give,'  when  thou  hast  it  by  thee."

Washington  City,  D.  C,  April  11,  1881. 
To  the  Hoard  of  Directors  of  the  Central  Free  Dispensary: 

Gentlemen:  In  obedience  to  your  instructions,  the  undersigned,  your  committee 
appointed  to  prepare  and  publish  the  annual  report  of  the  operations  of  the  dispen- 
sary during  the  year  ending  March  31,  1881,  beg  to  submit  to  you,  to  its  patrons,  and 
t  o  the  public,  the  following  Statement  of  cases  treated,  which  has  been  carefully  elab- 
orated from  the  books  of  current  record  by  the  attending  Staff,  which,  with  its  tabu- 
lated recapitulation,  cannot  fail  to  impress  the  most  casual  observer  with  the  magni- 
tude and  importance  ofthe  noble  work  we  have  in  charge. 

It  is  surely  a  sublime  scheme  of  remedial  philanthropy  which  can  point  as  its  results 
to  the  fact  that  during  the  year  just  closed  5,57;")  applications  have  been  made  by  the 
suffering  poor;  that  not  one  has  been  refused  the  treatment  which  the  case  demanded; 
that  the  large  number  of  18,952  prescriptions  have  been  compounded:  that  171  surgi- 
cal operations  have  been  performed;  that  13  persons  were  treated  as  in-patients, 
representing  75  days  of  maintenance;  and  that  the  total  cost  of  this  immense  work 
has  been  but  $2,249.72. 

The  gentlemen  of  the  attending  staff  who,  with  noble  self-sacrifice  and  gratuitous 
contribution  of  time  and  talent,  have  wrought  this  record  of  well-doing,  need  no  word 
of  commendation  from  us.  Any  attempted  expression  of  1  hanks  would  be  but  feeble 
effort,  falling  far  short  ofthe  occasion.  Reward,  if  it  can  be  furnished  in  this  world, 
must  be  found  only  in  the  consciousness  of  having  consecrated  their  time  and  capabil- 
ities to  the  fulfillment  ofthe  divine  command. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  year  it  was  found  that  in  consequence  of  the  limited  space 
afforded  by  the  premises  then  occupied  for  dispensary  purposes,  tin;  best  attainable 
results  could  not  be  secured,  and  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  obtain  the  use  of  the 
adjoining  dwelling  at  a  rent  for  the  two  slightly  in  excess  of  what  had  been  originally 
paid  for  one.  This  increased  accommodation  has  proved  to  be  of  great  utility;  but 
even  now,  with  enlarged  demands  for  dispensary  services,  comes  the  necessity  for 
more  commodious  premises,  and  the  question  of  providing  for  this  want  has  pressed 
itself  upon  the  board. 

The  dispensary  is  open  for  applicants  on  every  day  of  the  week  (except  Sunday) 
from  1  o'clock  until  3  o'clock,  but  it  is  generally  found  that  these  hours  are  materially 
extended.  Whilst  so  open,  the  rooms  and  passage  ways  of  the  building  are  occupied  by 
a  throng  of  patients  waiting  their  turn  for  treatment,  which  is  given  in  regular  order; 
and  on  the  (lays  of  infant  treatment  the  throng  is  of  course  far  greater,  for  the  reason 
that  each  little  one  is  accompanied  by  one  or  both  parents.  This  crowding  necessarily 
occasions  more  or  less  confusion  which  is  prejudicial  to  the  best  professional  attention. 

In  this  juncture  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  have  happily  come  to  our  relief 
by  offering  to  the  dispensary  the  use  of  handsome  and  ample  accommodations  in  a 
building  about  to  be  erected  for  police  purposes  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Ninth  street 
and  New  ^  ork  avenue.    This  offer  has  been  cheerfully  accepted  by  the  board 

The  public  architect  in  preparing  for  the  building  was  directed  to  confer  with  the 
dispensary,  and  embrace  such  details  for  the  portion  to  be  allotted  to  that  service  as 
the  experience  of  your  board  might  show  to  be  necessarv.  This  has  been  done;  the 
requisite  rands  are  on  hand,  ami  the  work  of  construction  will  be  pushed  rapidlv  for- 
JJJJ^^   lt  18  expected  that  the  building  will  be  ready  for  occupation  by 

•Since  the  above  was  written  the  proposed  arrangements  for  enlarging  the  accom- 
modations of  the  Dispensary  have  been  modified.  The  Commissioners  of  the  District 
having  abandoned  the  project  of  erecting  a  building  for  police  purposes  at  Ninth 
stree  and  New  \  ork  avenue  the  dispensary  has  leased  the  large  brick  building  at  416

it  is  expected  to  remove  to  that  place  July  1,  1881.  1  ' 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  159 


Ihe  importance  of  making  some  provision  by  means  of  an  emergency  hospital  for 
oases  ol  accident  occurring  within  the  city  limits  has  long  been  felt  by  the  board  and 
during  the  year  just ;  closed,  fortified  with  data  obtained  through  the  conrtesv  of 
Major  Brock,  Chief  of  Police,  and  aided  by  the  recommendation  of  the  District  Com- 
missioners a  strenuous  effort  was  made  to  obtain  from  Congress  a  small  appropriation 
which  would  enable  the  dispensary,  with  the  appliances  already  at  its  command,  to 
establish  immediately  such  an  institution  in  connection  with  its  more  regular  service 
Unhappily  the  effort  failed ;  but  the  good  results  of  the  attempt  have  crystallized  into 
a  proposition  from  the  District  Commissioners  to  embrace  the  emergency  hospital 
service  within  the  duties  of  the  dispensary,  providing  means  and  accommodations 
tor  both  in  the  new  building,  Ninth  street  and  New  York  avenue. 

This  emergency  hospital  service  does  not  aim  to  take  permanent  care  of  accident 
cases,  but  merely  to  take  measures  for  temporary  relief,  perhaps  involving  transient 
sojourn  at  the  dispensary  until  the  patient  is  in  lit  condition  for  removal  to  his  home 
or  to  some  hospital.  These  accident  cases— and  they  are  are  of  almost  daily  occur- 
rence—are now  taken  to  the  nearest  police  station,  and  a  physician  summoned  who 
when  he  reaches  the  place,  often  after  long  delay,  finds  himself  hampered  and  pre- 
vented from  giving  proper  professional  attention  for  want  of  necessary  apparatus  and 
appj  i  a  1 1  ees. 

At  the  proposed  hospital,  the  cases  arriving  by  means  of  the  police  ambulance 
within  a  few  moments  of  occurrence,  would  meet  immediate  and  scientific  treatment' 
for  want  of  which  many  lives  are  now  endangered. 

The  dispensary  mourns  the  sudden  death  of  Mr.  W.  H.  Gibbs,  who  for  many  years 
performed  with  marked  ability  and  zeal  the  arduous  duty  of  apothecary  to  the  in- 
stitution. Suitable  action  was  taken  by  the  staff  under  whose  immediate  direction 
his  service  had  been  performed,  and  resolutions  of  sympathy  and  condolence  were 
adopted  and  transmitted. 

The  personnel  of  the  board  has  during  the  year  undergone  some  change.  Mr.  Wm. 
M.  Gait,  who  was  president  at  the  date  of  the  last  report,  resigned  that  position.  Ho 
was  succeeded  by  Mr.  T.  J.  Durant,  who  in  turn  resigned  that  position  and  his  mem- 
bership in  the  board.  This  latter's  resignation  left  the  board  at  the  close  of  its  year 
without  a  presiding  officer,  which  accounts  for  the  preparation  of  this  report  having 
been  delegated  to  a  committee. 

At  the  date  of  the 'last  report  (April,  1880)  the  institution  was  receiving  from  the 
District  government,  out  of  the  charity  fund,  a  monthly  allowance  of  $200,  which, 
with  the  private  subscriptions  from  friends  and  patrons,  barely  sufficed  to  defray  the 
heavy  and  growing  expenses  of  a  daily  enlarging  service;  but  in  August,  1880,  the 
Commissioners  notified  the  board  that  in  consequence  of  heavy  demands  upon  that 
fund,  rendered  necessary  by  a  long  and  rigorous  winter,  they  would  be  compelled  to 
reduce  the  monthly  allowance  to  $150  from  and  after  August  1,  1881;  at  which  figure 
it  remains  at  this  date.  This  reduction  seriously  cripples  the  resources  and  impairs 
the  usefulness  of  the  institution,  and  it  behooves  its  friends  and  patrons  to  come  to 
its  assistance  with  private  contributions. 

For  this  aid  we  earnestly  appeal  to  the  charity  and  generosity  of  those  whom  God 
hath  blessed,  that  they  may  be  the  instruments  for  blessing  others. 

Your  committee  find  ample  occasion  of  congratulation  in  the  valuable  services  ren- 
dered to  the  institution  by  the  energetic  and  zealous  board  of  lady  managers  (Miss  M. 
F.  Waite,  president),  who  have  been  instrumental  in  securing  a  large  share  of  the 
contributions  of  funds  of  which  the  dispensary  always  stands  in  great  need.

REPORT    OF   ATTENDING  STAFF. 


To  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Central  Free  Dispensary  : 

Gentlemen:  In  placing  before  you  this,  our  tenth  annual  report,  we  have  pleasure 
in  announcing  the  increasing  good  work  of  the  institution.  The  legitimate  work  of 
the  dispensary  is  in  excess  of  last  year,  and  for  the  coming  year  bids  fair  to  be  much 
further  extended. 

We  congratulate  you,  our  friends  and  ourselves  upon  the  prospect  of  a  speedy  re- 
moval to  more  commodious  quarters,  where  our  work  can  be  more  easily  and  thoroughly 
done. 

We  take  pleasure  in  calling  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  our  institution  is  assum- 
ing importance  from  an  educational  point  of  view.  The  large  number  of  patients  and 
the  great  variety  of  diseases  to  be  seen  have  been  promptly  recognized  by  the  medical 
students  of  our  city. 

During  the  latter  part  of  the  last  session,  one  day  in  each  week  was  set  apart  for 


160    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


clinical  instruction  and  the  performance  of  the  more  important  operations,  at  which 
time  we  found  our  rooms  crowded  with  students. 

With  the  opening  of  the  fall  term  at  the  colleges,  these  facilities  will  he  still  further 
increased,  and  one  of  the  prime  objects  of  our  organization  be  more  thoroughly  fulfilled. 

There  have  been  some  changes  in  the  assistant  staff  since  last  report.  We  have 
lost  the  services  of  Drs.  Adams,  McArdle,  and  Acker  by  resignation.  Their  places 
have  been  tilled  by  the  election  of  Drs.  Cook,  Holden,  and  Hearty.  We  have  also  had 
a  sad  loss  in  the  death  of  our  most  efficient  druggist,  Mr.  W.  H.  Gibbs. 

We  have  created,  at  your  suggestion,  the  posts  of  house  physician  and  resident 
student.  To  the  former  of  these  Dr.  Parsons  has  been  elected,  and  to  the  latter  Mr. 
J.  J.  Mark  liter. 

To  Dr.  Parsons  we  are  indebted  for  the  preparation  of  the  following  synopsis  of  the 
cases  treated  during  the  year. 
We  are  also  indebted  for  dental  service  to  Dr.  Noble.

V.— REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  OX  THE  POOR  FUND. 

Washington,  I).  C,  June  25,  1881. 
Gentlemen  :  The  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  to  whom 
was  entrusted  the  disbursement  of  the  funds  collected  for  the  relief  of 
the  poor,  under  n  resolution  passed  at  the  Willard  Hall  meeting  in  Jan- 
uary last,  have  notified  the  undersigned  that  their  accounts  of  receipts 
and  expenditures  are  ready  for  examination,  and  have  requested  the 
appointment  of  a  committee  of  citizens  for  that  purpose. 

You  have  been  selected  as  gentlemen  who  it  is  believed  will  be  will- 
ing to  give  a  part  of  your  time  to  the  public  to  perform  this  service. 

We  hope  you  will  be  able  to  make  this  requisite  examination,  and 
report  the  result  in  such  form  as  may  be  published  in  the  newspapers. 
We  are,  gentlemen,  with  much  respect,  your  obedient  servants, 

A.  B.  HAGNER, 

Chairman, 

Jno.  A.  Raker, 

Secretary. 
Messrs.  Reginald  Fendall, 

F.  B.  McGuire,  and 

Lewis  J.  Davis. 


Hon.  A.  B.  IlACfNER,  Chairman. 

John  A.  Baker,  Esq.,  Secretary: 

Gentlemen:  The  committee  appointed  by  you  to  audit  the  accounts 
of  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  in  respect  to  the  col- 
lection and  distribution  of  the  contributions  for  the  relief  of  the  poor  and 
suffering  of  the  District  of  Columbia  of  last  winter,  respectfully  report 
that  they  have  examined  the  statement  and  vouchers  submitted  by  the 
Commissioners  through  their  agent,  the  Chief  of  Police,  and  find  from 
the  same  that  the  sum  of  $11,751.33  was  received,  and  that  the  sum  of 
$11,751.83,  or  fifty  cents  in  excess  of  receipts,  was  expended  in  a  most 
efficient  and  satistactory  manner.  They  also  find  that  in  addition  to  the 
cash  receipts  a  considerable  quantity  of  supplies  in  the  form  Of  food,  fuel, 
clothing,  and  bedding  was  contributed  and  distributed. 

As  this  fund  and  the  other  contributions  were  the  spontaneous  expres- 
sion of  sympathy  with,  and  desire  to  relieve,  the  sufferings  of  the  poor 
unprepared  for  the  trials  of  a  severe  winter,  and  as  good  was  accom- 
plished to  an  extent  disproportionate  to  the  facilities  afforded  those  man- 
aging the  contributions,  upwards  of  6,000  families  having  been  relieved, 
we  deem  it  a  matter  of  some  interest  to  refer  to  the  admirable  method 
adopted  by  the  Commissioners  in  distributing  relief  over  a  large  field, 
and  to  the  relative  demands  made  by  the  necessitous  in  the  future. 

Major  Brock,  the  Chief  of  Police,  directed  his  men  to  examine  into  the 
wants  of  the  poor  in  their  respective  precincts,  and  upon  reporting  the 
necessities  of  the  individual  an  order,  signed  by  the  lieutenant  of  the  pre- 
cinct, was  given  for  whatever  was  most  needed  in  the  special  case,  which 
order  was  supplied  by  the  merchant  to  whom  it  was  presente(l,  and 
returned  by  him  to  the  lieutenant  who  issued  it;  he  tested  it,  and  it  was 
then  paid  by  the  Chief  of  Police.  . 

By  this  method  every  dollar  was  dedicated  to  its  mission  and  the 
strictest  integrity  insured  in  carrying  out  the  trust  imposed  upon  the 
Commissioners. 


166    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA 


The  relative  necessities  of  the  poor  last  winter  are  shown  by  the  fol- 
lowing tabular  statement  of  the  expenditure  of  the  fund,  and  may  fur- 
nish a  future  guide  lor  the  charitable  who  may  make  contributions  of 
artieles  instead  of  money. 

The  amount  of  cash  contributed  was   611,751  ',Y3 

Which  was  distributed  thus:

In  conclusion,  we  take  pleasure  in  congratulating  the  charitable  upon 
the  suffering  tin  y  relieved  by  their  generous  and  spontaneous  response, 
and  wo  beg  leave  to  commend  Major  W.  (i.  Brock,  the  Chief  of  Police," 
for  the  admirable  method  he  adopted,  and  which,  with  the  aid  of  his 
officers  and  men,  he  so  efficiently  executed. 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servants,

176     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


The  number  of  admissions,  which  was  223,  is  almost  identical  with 
that  of  the  two  previous  years,  but  the  number  remaining  at  the 
dose  of  the  year,  925,  as  well  as  the  number  under  treatment  during 
the  year,  1,120,  exceeds  that  of  any  previous  report.  As  the  hospital 
becomes  a  permanent  home  for  the  most  of  those  avIio  do  not  recover, 
it  is  to  be  expected  that  the  number  of  inmates  will  slowly  increase. 
The  daily  average  number  under  treatment  was  890.  Bather  more  than 
one  third  of  the  discharges,  including  deaths,  have  been  recoveries,  and 
the  deaths,  81  in  number,  have  been  a  little  more  than  7  per  cent,  of  the 
whole  number  treated. 

Throughout  the  year  the  hospital  has  enjoyed  an  immunity  from  epi- 
demic disease  or  extensive  disaster,  which  while  it  is  not  different  from 
its  usual  record  is  none  the  less  a  subject  for  congratulation  and  thank- 
fulness. In  a  community  of  nearly  1,000  insane  persons  the  possibili- 
ties of  accident  or  outbreak  are  many  and  are  a  source  of  daily  anxiety 
to  the  officers  in  charge ;  indeed,  when  we  take  into  account  the  crowded 
condition  of  the  house,  it  is  a  matter  of  surprise  that  so  little  really  seri- 
ous trouble  has  hitherto  occurred  in  our  hospital. 

The  recently-erected  buildings  for  special  classes  have  afforded  great 
relief  to  our  overcrowded  wards,  and  another  year's  test  of  their  prac- 
tical working  has  only  confirmed  the  opinion  that  in  some  such  provis- 
ion for  the  quiet  classes  will  be  found  a  satisfactory  solution  to  the 
great  social  problem  of  the  care  of  the  chronic  insane.  Startling  events 
of  almost  daily  occurrence  show  that  it  is  unsafe  to  have  them  at  large 
in  the  community;  humanity  protests  that  they  shall  not  be  left  neg- 
lected in  almshouses;  what  is  wanted  for  them  is  care  in  comfortable 
but  inexpensive  homes  connected  with  our  present  curative  establish- 
ments for  the  insane. 

So  many  requests  have  been  received  for  information  about  the  new 
buildings  from  those  interested  in  the  erection  of  similar  structures  else- 
where, that  we  have  inserted  in  this  report  the  ground  plan  and  eleva- 
tion of  the  relief  building,  so-called,  which  we  think  will  convey  the 
information  desired.  This  is  a  building,  with  outer  and  interior  walls 
of  brick,  constructed  and  furnished  at  a  time  when  both  labor  and  ma- 
terial were  exceptionally  low,  and  the  whole  expenditure  (lid  not  exceed 
$250  per  patient  for  the  number  now  occupying  it.  Allowing  that  this 
would  be  an  unsafe  figure  on  which  to  base  an  estimate  at  present  prices, 
as  it  certainly  would,  still  it  is  demonstrable  that  accommodations  which 
are  all  that  are  needed  for  the  comfortable  care  of  the  mild  cases  of  in- 
sanity can  be  provided  at  an  expense  for  furnished  buildings  of  less 
than  $500  per  patient. 

When  it  shall  become  the  settled  policy  of  the  States  to  care  for  all 
their  insane,  taking  them  out  of  the  town  and  county  almshouses,  plac- 
ing them  in  homes  connected  with  the  existing  hospitals,  and  giving 
them  workshops  and  tillage  lands,  it  will  be  a  greater  advance  in  their 
treatment  than  any  that  has  been  made  since  the  earnest  philanthropy 
ol  Miss  )ix  first  called  attention  to  the  condition  of  this  unfortunate 
class  and  created  so  many  of  our  present  hospitals;  which  was  a  noble 
charity  and  meant  for  all,  but  practically  it  has  been  found  that  the  lib- 
eral and  expensive  provision  for  the  cure  of  insanity,  admirable  and 
necessary  as  it  is  for  a  part,  has  proved  so  great  a  tax  that  no  State  has 
thus  tar  been  willing  to  provide  such  elaborate  asylums  for  the  whole.

Thetorm lis "now moderately  remunerative  and  affords employment  to

Se  crops  are  large  and  are  consumed  on  the  place.  The  fruit  crop 
Sreasing  and  adds  a  pleasant  variety  to  the  table  in  its  season.  The 
ve^Sffirden  can  usually  be  relied  on  throughout  most  of  the  year 
for  t lie san e  purpose.  The  amount  of  milk  produced  last  year  was 
43  753  canons, giving  a  daily  consumption  of  about  120  gallons.  \\  ith 
proper  shelter  lor  it  is  probable  that  the  production  can  be  car- 

riK  tol50  gallons  daily,  which  will  afford  a  liberal  supply  of  this 
best  nutriment  for  the  aged  and  infirm  who  constitute  so  large  a  pro- 
portion of  the  insane.  What  we  consider  the  advantages  ot  the  farm 
in  addition  to  its  products,  are,  that  it  offers  varied  occupation  not 
otherwise  so  satisfactorily  afforded,  gives  space  for  walks  and  recrea- 
tion to  a  large  proportion  of  the  inmates,  and  is  the  most  salubrious  of 
all  possible  surroundings  for  so  extensive  a  pile  of  buildings.  In  the 
torrid  heat  of  the  summers  of  this  latitude  it  is  restful  and  invigorating 
to  c<anc  from  the  stilling  pavements  of  the  city  upon  our  green  lawns 
and  feel  the  wind  blowing  from  the  river.  The  pleasing  variety  of 
country  fields  and  woods  is  a  relief  to  the  necessarily  monotonous  lite 
of  the  insane,  and,  while  such  ample  grounds  show  a  most  liberal  pro- 
vision of  the  government  for  her  insane,  they  are  none  too  large,  nor 
will  the  variety  afforded  by  a  few  hundred  acres  seem  too  great  to  those 
who  must  perforce  find  in  them  the  limit  of  their  world. 
The  estimates  of  appropriations  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 

1883,  are  as  follows  : 

1.  For  the  support,  clothing,  and  treatment  in  the  Government  Hos- 
pital for  the  Insane,  of  the  insane  of  the  Army,  Navy,  Marine  Corps, 
and  the  Revenue  Cutter  Service,  and  of  all  persons  who  have  become 
insane  since  their  entry  into  the  military  or  naval  service  of  the  United 
States,  and  who  are  indigent,  and  of  the  indigent  insane  of  the  District 
of  Columbia,  $202,500. 

It  is  estimated  that  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1883,  the 
hospital  will  be  called  upon  to  provide  for  an  average  number  of  not 
less  than  900  of  the  indigent  insane  belonging  to  the  above  classes,  and 
that  the  cost  per  patient  will  be  $225  ;  this  includes  all  the  expenditures 
of  the  hospital  except  those  for  special  repairs  and  improvements.  As 
the  number  of  patients  under  treatment  at  the  close  of  the  last  fiscal 
year  was  925,  and  is  still  increasing,  it  is  possible  that  the  above  Will 
prove  an  underestimate  in  numbers  and  consequently  in  amount. 

It  is  asked  that  the  provision  which  has  been  made  for  some  years  be 
continued;  that  not  exceeding  $1,000  of  the  appropriation  for  support 
may  be  expended  to  defray  the  expenses  of  the  removal  of  patients  to 
their  friends;  also,  that  the  permission  which  is  now  granted  to  the  Vol- 
unteer Soldiers'  Homes  be  extended  to  the  Government  Hospital  for  the 
Insane,  viz,  to  dispose  of  hospital  products  and  articles  manufactured 
by  the  inmates  for  the  benefit  of  the  hospital. 

2.  For  general  repairs  and  improvements,  $10,000. 

This  annual  expenditure  is  necessary  to  prevent  deterioration  in  the 
hospital,  and  is  true  economy  in  the  proper  care  of  the  buildings  and 
grounds;  it  is  the  amount  usually  estimated,  and  is  the  same  as  the 
appropriation  for  the  current  year. 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  179 

3.  For  special  improvements,  viz,  a  supply  of  pure  water,  increased 
accommodations  for  hay,  stock,  and  farm  implements  ;  a  detached 
kitchen  and  cooking  apparatus,  with  scullery;  fire- walls  between  sec- 
tions; a  mortuary  building;  in  all,  $38,500. 

No  special  improvement  has  been  asked  in  this  estimate  that  has  not 
been  considered  essential  to  the  continued  welfare  of  the  hospital,  and 
certainly  there  is  none  more  so  than  a  full  supply  of  pure  water  for  all 
purposes  of  the  inmates.  It  is  a  cruel  wrong  to  longer  delay  giving  the 
insane  the  use  of  the  water  from  the  Upper  Potomac,  which  the  United 
States  Government  has  so  munificently  supplied  to  the  city  of  Wash- 
ington and  the  departments  here.  It  is  not  a  difficult  work.  Our  pres- 
ent arrangements  for  pumping  and  water  service  are  ample;  it  only 
needs  suitable  depositing  reservoirs  with  a  6-inch  iron  pipe  laid  for 
about  three-fourths  of  a  mile  across  the  bed  of  the  river,  most  of  the 
distance  in  shallow  water,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  sum  asked  will  be 
sufficient  to  complete  the  work.  A  little  excellent  water  for  drinking 
is  obtained  from  springs  near  the  hospital,  but  this  is  a  scanty  supply 
at  best  and  liable  at  any  time  to  be  greatly  diminished,  if  not  entirely 
cut  off,  by  the  summer's  drought.  The  water  for  all  other  uses  is  pumped 
from  the  Anacostia  at  a  point  where  it  ebbs  and  flows  by  the  hospital 
grounds.  This  stream  takes  the  wash  of  East  and  South  Washington; 
its  flats  have  long  been  a  favorite  dumping-ground  for  the  dredgings 
from  the  channel  of  the  Potomac,  and  we  believe  it  is  endangering  the 
health  of  our  inmates  to  continue  its  use ;  every  severe  storm  leaves  it 
for  days  unfit  for  anything  but  a  fertilizer.  Surely  the  poisonous  mud 
of  this  sluggish  creek,  with  its  annual  increment  of  defilement,  is  unfit 
to  be  the  water-supply  for  a  great  hospital  of  dependent  sufferers  who 
are  allowed  no  option  in  the  selection  of  a  home.  That  there  may  be  110 
delay  in  the  completion  of  this  very  necessary  work,  it  is  asked  that 
8^5,000  of  the  appropriation  for  special  improvements  be  made  imme- 
diately available. 

Another  pressing  want  is  room  for  the  storage  of  hay  and  the  proper 
care  of  the  stock.  More  than  100  tons  of  hay  is  now  standing  in  stacks 
exposed  to  the  weather,  simply  because  we  have  no  room  for  it  in  the 
barn.  A  piggery  was  built  last  year,  and  with  that  exception  no  farm 
building  has  been  added  since  1874;  meantime,  the  milk  produced  on 
the  farm,  every  quart  of  which  is  needed  for  the  proper  sustenance  of 
our  great  household,  has  increased  from  15,925  gallons  in  1875,  to  43,753 
gallons  in  1881,  the  herd  of  milch  cows  being  nearly  doubled,  with  no 
additional  provision  for  their  shelter  other  than  a  few  sheds,  which 
afford  but  very  indifferent  winter  protection.  The  thrifty  farmer  pro- 
vides warm  quarters  for  his  stock  and  thereby  reduces  his  expenditure 
for  their  food.  It  is  economy  for  the  hospital,  whose  dairy  farm  sup- 
plies so  important  an  element  of  the  daily  food  of  its  inmates,  to  take 
the  best  possible  care  of  its  neat  cattle,  and  $5,000  is  asked  for  these 
very  necessary  farm  buildings. 

The  hospital  has  quite  outgrown  its  old  culinary  arrangements,  and 
some  new  provision  will  have  to  be  made.  The  present  kitchen  is  in 
the  basement  of  the  center  building,  directly  under  the  executive  offices, 
which  en  jov  a  more  than  tropic  heat  in  summer  in  consequence;  the  odor 
of  cookiiig'is  less  localized  and  extends  through  the  whole  building.  In 
the  best  modern  hospitals  the  kitchen  is  placed  either  111  the  highest  story 
of  the  building  or  iu  a  detached  structure,  thus  avoiding  all  discomfort 
to  the  wards  from  heat  and  odor.  The  arrangements  of  this  hospital 
do  not  admit  of  locating  the  kitchen  in  the  top  of  the  house,  and  indeed, 
unless  the  ground  rent  is  a  serious  item  as  in  cities,  it  would  seem  to  be 


180    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


better  in  all  cases,  in  view  of  the  greater  security  from  fire,  to  place  it 
in  a  distinct  building.  Such  detached  building  should  be  made  fire- 
proof, of  one  story,  with  skylights  and  ventilators  directly  over  the 
cooking  apparatus,  making  the  whole  room  light  and  airy.  The  scullery 
should  be  an  adjoining  room,  having  all  convenient  arrangements  for 
the  preparation  of  vegetables  and  washing  of  dishes.  The  kitchen  itself 
should  be  specially  fitted  with  all  the  necessary  apparatus  for  the  cook- 
ing of  food  on  a  large  scale,  as  well  as  such  approved  appliances  as  may 
be  needed  for  making  special  dishes  for  the  sick.  Much  of  the  apparatus 
in  (uii'  present  kitchen  is  comparatively  new  and  excellent,  and  it  is 
thought  that  $4,000  will  enable  us  to  erect  the  building  and  purchase 
all  the  additional  apparatus  which  the  increased  accommodations  have 
rendered  necessary. 

Several  destructive  fires  have  occurred  in  hospitals  for  the  insane 
daring  the  past  year  in  different  parts  of  the  country;  this  has  led  us 
to  make  a  careful  re-examination  of  our  own  hospital  for  all  sources  of 
danger  in  this  direction.  In  addition  to  the  ample  provisions  in  other 
respects,  which  have  already  been  made,  we  recommend  the  construc- 
tion of  fire-proof  walls  of  brick,  with  iron  doors,  between  the  different 
sections  of  the  hospital  building,  so  that  should  a  tire  un fortunately 
occur  it  could  be  confined  to  the  section  in  which  it  originated.  It  will 
not  be  a  difficult  matter  to  arrange  for  such  Avails;  some  slight  changes 
in  a  few  rooms  w  ill  be  necessary,  but  these  changes  will  be  improve- 
ments rather  than  otherwise,  and  for  the  sum  asked,  $3,500,  it  is  thought 
that  the  whole  work  can  be  accomplished.  Within  walls  where  every 
year  more  than  a  thousand  insane  persons  are  provided  for,  no  safe- 
guard against  so  terrible  a  calamity  as  tire  should  be  omitted. 

So  far  as  it  is  possible  all  the  surroundings  of  the  insane  should  be 
pleasant,  and  all  depressing  scenes  and  associations  should  be  avoided. 
The  want  of  a  suitable  mortuary  building  has  long  been  felt,  and  81,000 
is  asked  for  this  purpose.  The  fitness  of  Things  seems  to  demand  a 
proper  provision  for  the  dead  outside  the  wards  of  the  living;  no  well- 
appointed  hospital  is  without  this.

S2.)0,000;  tor  expenditure  in  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1883, 

25,000. 

The  time  has  come  when  some  new  provision  will  have  to  bo  made  for 
the  female  insane  in  this  hospital.   Accommodations  for  150  women  are 
now  crowded  with  230,and  the  number  is  steadily  increasing.  In  making 
new  arrangements  it  is  very  important  that  they  should  be  the  best 
known.    1  he  experience  in  Philadelphia,  in  New  York,  and  in  Michigan, 
has  clearly  established  the  decided  advantage  of  providing  for  the  care 
of  the  two  sexes  in  distinct  hospital  buildings,  having  separate  iuclosures 
lor  each.    Nowhere  is  the  importance  of  such  distinct  provision  for  the 
female  insane  more  dearly  .shown  than  at  the  Government  Hospital  for 
I  nsane.    J  he  male  patients  being  in  excess  in  point  of  numbers,  the 
c.  Km  party,  as  is  usual  in  such  eases,  goes  to  the  wall.    In  the  matter

extensions  to  provide  for  100  additional,  without  marring  the  architect-

of  modern  science  in  regard  to  the  comfort  and  the  cure  of  the  insane  can 
be  completed  for  the  sum  named.  The  present  steam,  water,  and  gas 
supply,  as  well  as  the  present  bakery  and  laundry,  would  be  available  for 
both  departments,  and  the  whole  would  remain  under  one  executive  head. 
That  there  may  be  no  delay  in  the  erection  of  this  very  necessary  build- 
ing, the  amount  for  expenditure  in  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  .'30,  188,3, 
is  asked  immediately  available. 

Three  citizens  of  Washington,  each  prominent  in  his  sphere,  who  had 
in  former  years  been  members  of  the  Board  of  Visitors,  have  passed 
away  since  the  date  of  the  last  annual  report.  In  view  of  the  long  and 
faithful  service  which  each  one  of  these  gentlemen  rendered  to  the  hos- 
pital, it  is  deemed  but  proper  that  the  resolutions  of  respect  passed  by 
the  Board  at  their  annual  meeting  should  have  a  record  here,  and  they 
are  accordingly  inserted. 

DR.  WILLIAM  GUNTON. 

Whereas  this  Board,  since  the  date  of  its  last  annual  meeting,  has  been  called  to 
mourn  the  loss  of  Dr.  William  Gunton,  who  for  fifteen  years  held  an  honored  place 
anion*;  its  members,  and  who  during  a  large  portion  of  that  time  was  called  to  preside 
over  its  deliberations:  Therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  with  profound  respecdt  for  his  memory,  we  hereby  testify  and  record 
our  admiration  for  the  high  intellectual  qualities,  the  rare  business  sagacity,  the  un- 
remitting industry,  and  the  spotless  integrity  with  which  he  adorned  his  long,  labori- 
ous, and  useful  career  in  the  presence  of  this  community,  and  which,  as  they  followed 
him  in  the  diligent  and  faithful  performance  of  every  duty  and  trust,  were  especially 
manifest  to  those  of  us  whose  privilege  it  was  to  consult  with  him  for  the  interests  of 
this  Hospital,  and  for  the  welfare  of  its  afflicted  inmates,  who  ever  found  in  him  a 
friend  as  sympathetic  in  feeling  as  he  was  wise  in  counsel. 

Resolved,  That  while  we  can  but  deplore  the  loss  of  one  who  made  his  career  as  full 
of  useful  activities  and  honorable  labors  as  it  was  full  of  years,  we  desire  at  the  same 
time  to  add  to  these  sincere  regrets  the  gratulations  and  thanksgivings  which  are 
most  due  for  the  spectacle  of  a  finished  life,  as  harmonious  and  symmetrical  in  its 
well-ordered  proportions  as  it  was  remarkable  for  the  length  of  days  accorded  to  it  by 
the  favor  of  Divine  Providence. 

Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  entered  on  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  and  that  a 
copy  of  them  be  sent  to  the  family  of  the  deceased. 

HON.  EI  CHARD  WALLACH. 

WThereas  the  Hon.  Richard  Wallach,  for  many  years  a  member  of  this  Board,  hM 
departed  this  life  since  the  date  of  the  last  annual  meeting:  Therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  with  sincere  admiration  for  the  mental  endowments  and  engaging 
social  qualities  with  which  he  adorned  every  sphere  of  life,  and  which  were  never 
seen  to  better  advantage  than  when  they  called  him  to  high  and  responsible  public 
trusts,  we  desire  hereto  record  our  special  and  grateful  recollection  of  the  intelli- 
gence, fidelity,  and  zeal  which  he  brought  to  the  discharge  of  the .philanthropic  labors 
devolved  upon  him  as  a  member  of  this  Board  during  the  entire  period  of  his  connec- 
tion with  it,  and  by  which  he  has  justly  won  for  himself  a  name  and  place  among  the 
friends  and  benefactors  of  this  institution. 

Resolved,  That  this  resolution  be  entered  on  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  and  that  a 
copy  of  it  be  sent  to  (lie  family  of  the  deceased. 

HON.  HENRY  I).  COOKE. 

Whereas  the  Hon.  Hexry  D.  Cooke,  for  many  years  a  member  of  this  Board,  has 
been  called  away  from  this  life  since  the  date  of  our  last  annual  meeting  :  Therefore 
be  it 

Resolved,  That  we  hereby  place  on  record  the  tribute  duo  to  the  commanding  abili- 
ties, the  high  public  spirit,  and  the  patriotic  enthusiasm  which  in  a  difficult  crisis  of 
our  country  were  evinced  by  services  as  useful  as  they  were  brilliant,  and  which,  as 
they  followed  him  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  assumed  towards  this  institution, 


182    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

made  him  no  less  diligent  than  faithful  in  the  discharge  of  the  public  trust  with 
which  he  here  identified  his  name,  and  with  which  his  memory  is  now  gratefully  asso- 
ciated. 

Resolved,  That  this  resolution  be  placed  on  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  and  that  a 
oopy  of  it  be  sent  to  the  family  of  the  deceased. 

Our  acknowledgments  are  due  to  Washington  amateurs  for  a  number 
of  dramatic  and  musical  entertainments  during  the  past  winter,  which 
were  much  enjoyed  by  our  household,  also  to  the  Marine  Band,  under 
Professor  Sousa,  for  an  outdoor  concert  during  the  summer,  which  was 
quite  an  unusual  treat.  Amusements  continue  to  be  a  prominent  feature 
in  the  treatment  of  the  insane,  both  here  and  elsewhere. 

The  medical  staff  of  the  hospital  lias  been  increased  by  the  addition 
of  a  physician  to  the  night  watch,  thus  giving  a  medical  officer  always 
on  duty  at  all  hours  of  the  day  and  night.  Dr.  A.  C.  Patterson,  of 
Washington,  D.  0.,  who  has  for  some  months  past  performed  this  im- 
portant night  service  in  an  acceptable  manner,  lias  been  appointed  to 
the  position.  AVe  believe  the  result  will  show  this  step  to  have  been  a 
wise  and  important  one.  and  that  a  night  service  which  makes  the 
medical  service  of  a  hospital  continuous  for  the  twenty-four  hours  will 
be  found  advantageous  in  all  large  establishments  for  the  insane. 

During  a  temporary  absence  of  Dr.  Witmer  in  Europe,  Dr.  M.  S.  Seip, 
senior  assistant  of  the  State  Hospital  at  Danville,  Pa.,  has  rendered  us 
valuable  assistance. 

The  other  officers  of  the  staff  remain  as  before,  and  have  continued  to 
perforin  their  respective  duties  in  a  faithful  and  accept  able  manner. 

Again  commending  to  Congress  the  interests  of  this  great  hospital, 
the  importance  of  which  can  hardly  be  over-estimated  or  its  responsi- 
bilities ignored, 

We  are,  very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servants, 

JOS.  K.  BARNES, 

President  of  the  Board.

SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS. 


The 


revision  of  the  special  assessments  has  been  completed  in  accord 


io?o    £t  the  acts  of  Congress  approved  June  19,  1878,  and  June  27> 
ihe  detailed  statement  will  be  fouud  in  the  report  of  Mr.  Wm 
tfoome,  transmitted  herewith. 


208    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


The  net  result  of  the  revision  is  as  follows : 

^  .  .    .  .    $4, 875, 546  45 

Original  assessments   3  711  669  92 

Revised  assessments   J  

  1, 163,  876  53 

Difference 


In  cases  where  the  revision  increased  the  assessment  it  has  been 


est.    Interest  is  also  due  upon  the  unpaid  assessments. 

In  the  annual  report  of  the  Commissioners  for  1875,  it  was  estimated 
that  the  amount  of  special  assessments  yet  to  be  issued  was  (approxi- 
mately) $2,078,635.69.  There  had  then  been  issued  $3,150,050.47.  Total, 
$5,228,695.10.  Upon  this  was  predicated  an  available  surplus,  after  the 
redemption  of  the  8  per  cent,  improvement  bonds,  of  $1,680,844.74. 

After  that  date,  and  prior  to  the  revisions  authorized  by  Congress, 
the  amount  of  the  original  assessments  fell  short  of  the  estimated  amount 
by  $353,148.71.  The  revisions  have  reduced  them  $1,240,525.14  j  giving 
a  total  loss  of  $1,593,673.85. 

It  would  appear,  therefore,  that  the  surplus  estimated  in  1875  has 
been  nearly  absorbed  as  to  the  principal  by  the  revisions. 

The  books  of  the  special  assessment  office  show  a  balance  of  uncol- 
lected tax  originally  pledged  to  the  redemption  of  these  bonds,  of 
$684,131.55,  upon  which  interest  at  10  per  cent,  is  due  from  the  various 
dates  of  the  lien  certificates,  beginning  with  A.  D.  1873.  This  interest 
will  continue  to  run  at  10  per  cent,  until  the  tax  is  paid. 

It  is  not  practicable  to  give  from  the  special  assessment  office  a  state- 
ment of  the  8  per  cent,  bonds  ;  but  it  may  be  assumed  that  the  amount 
outstanding,  including  principal  and  interest,  will  not  exceed  $700,000. 
The  interest  is  now  running  at  6  per  cent.,  the  bonds  having  all  matured. 

It  is  to  be  remembered,  however,  that  the  acts  of  June  10,  1878,  and 
June  27,  1879,  have  virtually  negatived  the  law  which  pledged  the 
special  assessment  tax  collectible  after  May  29,  1873,  to  the  redemption 
of  the  8  per  cents.,  by  making  drawback  certificates  receivable  in  pay- 
ment of  this  tax.  Up  to  this  date  there  have  been  received  $244,732.41 
of  the  drawbacks. 

There  are  drawback  certificates  outstanding  or  ready  for  issue,  which 
are  receivable  at  any  time  in  payment  of  this  tax,  though  otherwise  re- 
ceivable in  payment  of  certain  arrears  of  general  tax,  amounting  to 
$04,838.36.  Other  drawback  certificates  are  ready  for  issue,  receivable, 
also,  at  any  time  in  payment  of  this  tax,  and  redeemable  only  from  the 
proceeds  of  the  same,  amounting  to  $105,520.59.  The  former  draw  no 
interest;  upon  the  latter,  interest  is  claimed. 

It  is  evident  that  no  further  concession  can  be  made  to  delinquents  in 
this  tax,  uuless  other  provision  shall  be  made  for  the  redemption  of  the 
drawbacks  and  bonds. 

There  has  been  presented  to  Congress,  with  each  annual  report  of  the 
Commissioners  since  1873,  an  approximate  statement  of  the  account  of 
the  United  States  with  the  special  improvement  tax.  The  revisions 
having  been  completed,  it  is  found  that  the  amount  chargeable  to  the 
United  States  is  $3,324,707.99.  Credit  by  appropriations,  $3,522,036.18. 
Balance  to  credit  of  United  States,  $198,228.10. 

The  rule  of  apportionment  has  been  to  place  the  United  States  in  the 
attitude  of  the  District  government,  with  respect  to  the  improvement, 
wherever  United  States  property  fronted  upon  the  line.  If  the  United 
fetates  owned  upon  both  sides  of  the  street  or  avenue  where  improved, 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA..  209 

the  whole  cost  was  charged  to  the  general  government.  If  upon  one 
side  only,  five-sixth*  of  the  cost  was  charged  to  the  general  govern- 
ment, leaving  one-sixth,  as  contemplated  by  law;  to  be  assessed  against 
private  property  adjoining  and  immediately  benefited. 

Specific  acts  ma  king  appropriations  to  pay  the  proportional  part  of 
the  Doited  States  have  been  passed  since  1871,  pursuant  to  estimates 
based  upon  this  ride.  It  may  therefore  be  assumed  that  the  basis  of 
adjustment  has  had  sufficiently  the  attention  and  sanction  of  Congress, 
and  that  credit  should  not  be  given  the  United  States  upon  this  account 
for  other  than  appropriations  specifically  made  for  this  purpose. 

Concurrently  with  the  street  improvements  and  laying  of  small  lateral 
sewers,  the  cost  of  which  is  the  basis  of  the  special  assessments  actually 
made,  there  was  undertaken  by  the  board  of  public  works  the  construc- 
tion of  certain  large  main  sewers,  of  which  the  principal  items  of  cost 
will  aggregate  $1,048,838.55. 

To  apportion  fairly  the  cost  of  these,  the  board  of  public  works  levied 
a  tax  differing  in  method  and  proportion  from  that  for  the  street  improve- 
ments. 

The  city  w  as  divided  into  its  several  natural  drainage  areas,  and  each 
area  assessed  in  advance  of  the  completion  of  the  work,  for  the  cost  of 
the  corresponding  system  of  drainage  required,  at  an  uniform  rate  per 
square  foot.  A  more  equitable  distribution  of  cost  could  not  be  made, 
but  authority  of  law  was  wanting  for  the  levying  of  the  tax  in  this 
manner. 

The  action  of  the  board  of  public  works  was  set  aside  by  Congress,  the 
portion  of  the  tax  collected  was  required  to  be  refunded,  and  the  sewer- 
age certificates  to  be  redeemed.  The  burden  was  thus  lifted  from  the 
shoulders  of  (he  beneficiaries  and  settled  upon  those  who  were  not. 

As  all  of  this  was  merged  in  the  general  funding  of  floating  debt  into 

>.0.>  bonds,  of  which  the  United  States  assumes  one-half  the  payment, 

't  would  appear  upon  superficial  examination  that  the  United 'States 

should  not  be  debited  upon  its  special  improvement  account  with  any 

part  ol  this  expenditure  because  of  equitable  considerations. 

careful  consideration  of  all  the  facts  appears  to  indicate  the  con- 
trary. 

The  present  organic  law,  which  took  effect  in  June,  1878,  assumes  for 
™«4  United  States  one-half  the  debt  of  the  District  of  Columbia  as  exist- 
ing at  that  time.  If  it  could  be  shown  that  an  equitable  balance  was 
scruck  in  this,  then  the  special  account  for  Improvements  would  be  equit- 
ably credited  with  that  element  of  the  funded  debt  so  assumed. 

Aae  report  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia  for  1878 
(Page  4)  contains  an  approximate  statement  of  this  question,  showing 
*at  atter  assuming  one-half  the  debt  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  in

210    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

Congress  has  forbidden  the  equitable  division  of  the  cost,  in  propor- 
tion to  the  benefit  conferred,  and  compels  the  alternative  of  not  assess- 
in^  at  all.    So  the  District  loses  the  additional  tax.  n 

ft  is  not  unreasonable,  then,  to  assume  that  the  cost  should  be  equally 
divided  between  the  United  States  and  the  District  ot  Columbia,  the 
special  improvement  account  of  the  United  States  being  debited  to  this 

eXInUciosinff  the  subject  of  special  improvement  tax  I  am  con  strained  to 
repeat  the  conclusions  arrived  at  in  L875  and  reiterated  in  : 

The  operation  of  the  law  has  not  been  always  uniform  and  equitable,  and  the  iati- 
tnde  of  executive  discretion  in  administering  it  has  not  favored  uniformity  of  appli- 
cation *  *  It  provided  that  a  reasonable  proportion,  not  exceeding  one-third 
the  cost  thereof,  should  be  assessed  against  the  property  adjoining  and  especially  ben- 
efited by  the  work  of  improvement  which  the  territorial  government  was  created  to 
inaugurate.  For  similar  improvement  under  the  preceding  term  of  government  the 
entire  cost  was  assessed  against  the  adjoining  property. 


#  * 


Under  the  present  permanent  commission  government  the  Lmted  States  pays  one- 
half  the  ireneral  fund  of  the  District  one-half,  and  adjoining  property  pays  nothing. 
This  is  the  opposite  extreme,  between  which  and  the  corporation  method  ot  imposing  the 
whole  cost  upon  adjoining  property  the  law  assessing  one-third  of  the  cost  was  the 
mean.  In  consulting  the  wishes  of  property-owners  as  to  the  location  of  needed  im- 
provements, it  will  be  difficult  to  find  any  law  of  natural  selection  to  take  the  place 
of  this  Under  tin'  corporation  government  the  expressed  wish  of  the  adjoining  owners 
was  a  necessary  preliminary  to  the  execution  of  the  work  and  the  consequent  imposi- 
tion of  the  tax\  Under  the  present  government  the  absence  of  a  special  tax  evokes 
contending  claimants  for  the  benefits  of  the  work  of  improvement. 

It  is  to  he  remembered  that  the  "rules  lor  revision"  recognize  the 
obligation  of  the  District  of  Columbia  to  replace  the  rotten  wood  pave- 
ments, for  which  a  special  tax  is  collected,  with  other  and  durable  pave- 
ments. 

DKATNAGE  AND  SEWETCAGE. 

Work  has  progressed  rather  slowly  upon  the  Boundary  intercepting 
sewer.  Some  difficulty  has  been  encountered  from  subterranean  springs, 
sandy  bottom,  and  caving  banks,  but  the  principal  obstacle  has  been 
the  delay  incidental  to  contract  work.  The  cost  has  been  increased  by 
the  nature  of  the  foundation  required,  and  the  delay  has  caused  the 
loss  of  the  advantage  due  to  the  lower  prices  prevailing  at  the  time  this 
work  was  first  advertised.  The  lower  and  larger  section,  22  feet  in 
diameter,  has  been  completed,  and  no  further  difficulty  is  encountered 
at  present  in  constructing  the  20-foot  section.  lu  all,  about  3,000  feet 
have  been  completed. 

It  is  proposed  to  begin  the  relief  of  the  northwestern  section  of  Wash- 
ington by  constructing  an  additional  main  sewer  in  the  Slash  Bun  Dis- 
trict, where  it  is  very  much  needed.  The  present  sewers  are  too  small, 
and  will  Hood  nearly  every  house  in  this  district  in  severe  storms.  An 
estimate  for  this  is  presented  herewith. 
Another  severe  storm  last  June  sustains  the  record  of  the  past  20 

rs.  A 
which 
New 

York  avenue  sewer  had  just  been  completed.  Its  size  is  computed  for 
a  rainfall  of  2  inches  per  hour,  and  it  was  severely  tried,  the  water 
standing  four  feet  above  the  arch  in  the  man  holes.  It  is  to  be  re- 
gretted that  at  this  time  the  lower  part  of  the  sewer  was  somewhat 
obstructed  by  an  awkward  attachment  of  telegraph  wires  to  the  interior 
of  the  arch.  This  had,  no  doubt,  some  retarding  effect  upon  the  flow  of 
water,  and  prevents  a  satisfactory  comparison  of  the  actual  with  the 


KEPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  211 

theoretical.  It  is  very  clear,  however,  that  2  inches  of  rainfall  per  hour 
is  a  moderate  estimate  as  a  basis  for  computing  the  necessary  capacity 
of  the  sewers.  The  new  system  is  making  reasonable  progress  and  will 
advance  more  rapidly  when  a-  larger  share  of  the  annual  appropriations 
can  be  given  to  the  work. 

Meanwhile  a  matter  of  growing  importance  is  the  repair  and  the  inci- 
dental modernizing'  of  the  old  system.  The  inverts  of  all  the  old  brick 
sewers  are  rapidly  wearing  out,  under  the  influence  of  transported  sand 
mid  gravel.  The  repairs  must  be  effected  by  a  complete  renewal  of  the 
invert,  with  generally  a  change  of  shape,  and  in  every  case  with  more 
durable  material,  glazed  terra  cotta  for  the  smaller  sewers,  and  trap- 
rock  blocks  for  the  larger  ones.  It  will  be  practicable  to  effect  this  with 
the  larger  ones  by  working  within  the  existing  sewers,  but  the  smaller 
brick  sewers,  and  all  defective  pipe  sewers,  must  be  dug  up  and  rebuilt. 

The  Fourteenth  street  sewer,  44  feet  in  diameter,  had  a  dangerous 
break  in  the  invert  last  summer,  160  feet  in  length.  The  invert  was  replaced 
with  trap  rock,  laid  upon  a  foundation  of  hydraulic  concrete,  at  a  cost  of 
$3.7li  per  linear  foot.  The  work  was  done  under  many  disadvantages  and 
without  such  appliances  as  will  be  used  when  this  class  of  work  is  taken 
in  hand.  The  cost  may,  therefore,  be  considered  excessive.  There  are 
upwards  of  forty  miles  of  brick  invert  that  must,  sooner  or  later,  be  re- 
placed with  other  material,  but  tin;  average  cost  will  probably  be  much 
less  than  that  of  the  Fourteenth  street  sewer  repair,  and  fortunately 
will  be  distributed  over  a  long  interval  of  time.  The  completion  of  the 
intercepting  sewers  on  Boundary  street  will  extend  this  time.  The  sand 
and  gravel  broughtdown  by  the  county  streams  is  the  principal  agent  of 
destruction  of  the  old  brick  inverts,  and  this  will  be  turned  aside  upon 
the  hard  trap-rock  invert  of  the  new  sewers. 

Some  idea  of  the  quantity  of  this  material  is  given  by  the  following 
statement,  for  the  two  years  ending  June  1881,  of  the  quantity 
obtained  from  Tiber  sewer:

But  to  this  must  be  added  the  wear  and  tear  of  the  perishing  inverts. 

THE  RECLAMATION  OF  THE  FLATS. 

All  of  fchese  features  of  the  drainage  system  have  the  attention  of  Con 
&ress  and  are  eared  for  in  the  regular  annual  appropriations,  but  an 
urgent  need  exists  of  immediate  attention  to  the  outlets  of  the  sewers  on

the  first  stage  of  the  work.  The  filling  to  a  desirable  elevation  above 
tide  may  be  cheaply  completed  afterwards  in  dredging  the  river  chan- 
nel, and'  need  not  be  hurried.    The  marsh  disappears  at  the  hist  stage 

of  the  work.  ,  c  , ,  , 

It  is  fortunate  that  we  have  not  to  apply  the  system  of  the  low  coun- 
tries Holland  needs  land  for  agriculture,  and  finds  that  the  bottom 
of  the  sea  on  her  borders  makes  fertile  land.  She  builds  enormous 
embankments,  strong  enough  to  resist  the  sea,  and  maintains  them  un- 
der constant  supervision  at  great  peril.  The  outer  slopes  arc;  strongly 
revetted,  and  the  inner  slopes  of  grass  have  dumb  watchers  in  great 
fiocks  of  sheep  that  trample  down  the  holes  made  by  burrowing  ani- 
mals. Powerful  pumps  lift  the  water  from  the  bottom  to  the  surface  of 
the  sea,  first  throwing  out  the  sea  water  and  then  forever  after  working 

to  keep  the  land  dry.  ■    a,  . 

Holland  has  no  desire  to  fill  the  low  ground  so  reclaimed,  blie  has 
nothing  to  fill  with  except  water.  She  wants  the  bottom  of  the  sea  as 
she  finds  it.  She  grows  her  bread  there.  If  ours  were  a  case  of  Hol- 
land it  would  be  well  to  reconsider  the  question  of  moving  the  capital. 


WATER  SUPPLY. 


It  is  hardly  of  less  importance  that  the  additional  supply  of  water,  so 
much  needed  in  the  higher  sections  of  the  city,  should  be  at  once  pro- 
vided. Estimates  and  plans  have  been  presented  from  time  to  time, 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  this  matter  will  receive  the  attention  of 
Congress.  If  it  be  considered  that  the  present  supply  of  25,000,000 
gallons  per  diem  is  sufficient,  it  must  be  remembered  that  this  amount 
can  only  be  brought  in  at  an  insufficient  elevation;  and  more  pumps 
would  be  necessary  to  give  the  high  grounds  their  share.  A  quarter  of 
a  million  dollars  invested  in  meters,  with  sufficiently  prohibitory  rates, 
would  reduce  the  consumption  to  any  desired,  and  far  below  any  desi- 
rable, quantity;  but  it  is  hardly  advisable. 

In  the  use  of  pure  water  we  are  yet  only  one-half  as  high  in  the  scab' 
of  civilization  as  were  ancient  Home,  Jerusalem,  Byzantium.  Their 
water  supply  was  300  gallons  per  capita,  and  it  came  long  distances — 
from  many  different  sources — in  costly  aqueducts.  We  have  within 
easy  reach  a  least  flow  of  a  thousand  million  gallons  per  day  of  pure 
water  dashing  to  waste  over  the  Great  Falls  of  the  Potomac.  There 
may  be  some  excuse  for  the  wasted  energy  of  Niagara.  No  field  of  en- 
terprise seems  great  enough  or  near  enough  to  take  it  in;  but  the  Poto- 
mac has  its  mission  in  Washington. 

At  the  present,  we  need  only  a  commencenrent — an  appropriation 
sufficient  to  bring  to  the  city  what  can  already  be  brought  as  far  as  the 
distributing  reservoir,  and  this  is  sorely  needed. 

Jt  cannot  be  far  in  the  future  that  a  generous  supply  will  flow  through 
the  city  for  every  conceivable  use.  Then  the  reservoir  on  Rock  Greek 
will  be  needed.  It  will  be  a  beautiful  lake  of  2,000  acres,  with  rocky 
shores  and  promontories  jutting  out  in  every  direction.  It  will  have 
a  greatest  depth  of  140  feet,  with  all  the  advantages  of  this  great  depth 
of  water,  and  a  capacity  of  nearly  two  thousand  millions  of  gallons  in 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  213 


the  irst  three  feet  of  depth.  The  rocky  banks  will  be  their  own  revet- 
ment. The  growing  timber  in  the  proposed  bed  of  the  lake  will  pay  for 
its  own  removal.  A  dan  of  impervious  masonry  will  close  the  gorge  of 
the  lake,  joining  rook  to  rock  on  either  side.  The  cost  will  be  $800,000 
for  the  aara  and  the  price  of  2,000  acres  of  steep  rocky  hillside  for  the 
bed  of  the  lake. 

Tor  the  purpose  of  the  reservoir  nothing  further  would  be  needed, 
except  legislation  prescribing  appropriate  sanitary  regulations. 

The  causeway  of  the  Seventh  street  road  over  Piney  Branch  would, 
perhaps  have  to  be  raised  slightly,  but  the  cost  would  be  insignificant. 
No  other  highways  cross  the  site  of  the  reservoir,  but  a  number  of  local 
county  roads  could  be  taken  across  by  bridge  and  causeway  at  shallow 
points,  if  thought  ad  visible.  A  continuous  drive  around  the  lake  would 
be  constructed  in  the  coarse  of  time,  ami  the  rest  of  the  park  would  fol- 
low, covering  the  drainage  area  of  Bock  Creek  within  the  District. 


RAILROADS. 

In  compliance  with  your  instructions  1  have  carefully  examined  into 
the  question  of  the  removal  of  the  present  steam  railroads  from  the  sur- 
face of  the  streets,  within  the  limits  of  Washington,  and  adjusting  them 
to  the  established  grades  of  the  city  in  such  manner  as  to  otter  the  least 
obstruction  to  ordinary  surface  traffic  In  this  investigation  I  have 
kept  in  view  the  general  plan  and  the  several  requirements  prescribed  by 
yon.  The  result  is  shown  in  the  accompanying  plans  and  estimates, 
which  may  be  briefly  explained  as  follows: 

The  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Road  now  enters  the  city  limits  at  Boundary 
street,  between  Ninth  and  Tenth  streets  northeast,  crosses  Boundary  a 
few  feet  below  grade ;  passing  in  a  southwesterlv  direction  across  Ninth, 
Eighth,  Seventh,  Sixth,  L,  K,  I,  Fifth,  Fourth,  Third,  and  Second,  sev- 
eral feet  above  the  grade  of  each  ;  follows  Delaware  avenue,  on  grade, 
as  far  as  E  street  northeast,  and  thence,  several  feet  below  grade,  across 
D  street  and  North  Capitol  to  the  depot  on  New  Jersey  avenue. 

This  road  breaks  the  grade  of  nearly  every  street  it  crosses  within  the 
city  limits,  and  is  a  serious  obstacle  to  the  improvement  of  the  north- 
eastern section  of  the  city.  It  effectually  prevents  the  improvement  of 
North  ( apitol  street  within  less  than  two  squares  of  the  <  Japitol  grounds. 
On  the  streets  which  it  crosses  at  grade  there  is  the  ordi nary  danger 
from  that  source  to  the  city  traffic,  and  this  upon  such  an  important 

thoroughfare  as  Massachusetts  avenue  within  a  short  distance  of  the 
tapitol, 

the  Metropolitan  Branch  of  the  same  road  enters  the  city  limits  at 
Boundary  street,  between  First  and  Second  northeast,  and  continues 
down  First  street,  on  grade,  to  Delaware  avenue,  where  it  unites  with 
the  Washington  Branch.  Down  to  this  point  it  is  open  to  t  ho  ordinary 
objections  to  steam  railroads  which  occupy  the  greater  part  of  a  narrow 
street  at  grade,  and  cross  the  intersecting  streets,  also,  at  grade. 

It  w  proposed  to  unite  the  two  branches  of  this  road  at  some  point 
outside  the  city  limits,  to  be  selected  bv  the  company,  and  bring  them 
into  the  city  at  Boundary  street  on  the  line  of  Twelfth  street  east,  and 
°n  the  established  city  grade. 

inence  the  road  will  follow  the  line  of  Twelfth  street  southward,  on 

e  *rade  of  the  street,  to  G  street,  at  which  point  the  grade  changes 
p°  jj's  to  enter  a  tunnel  at  the  north  building  line  of  Maryland  avenue, 
following  the  line  of  Twelfth  street  southward  the  tunnel  continues  to 

ineoln  Square,  and  passing  beneath  this  square  turns  into  the  line  of 


214    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


-North  Carolina  avenue,  which  it  follows  to  the  west  building  line  of 
Second  street  east.  At  this  point  the  city  grades  fall  precipitously 
to  the  low  grounds,  and  a  short  open  cut  connects  the  tunnel  with  an 
elevated  road,  which  follows  the  same  line  of  North  Carolina  avenue  to 
the  intersection  of  New  Jersey  avenue  and  E  street  southeast,  crossing 
this  intersection  at  an  elevation  of  22  feet  above  the  street  grade.  Up 
to  this  point  the  line  is  intended  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  Baltimore 
and  Ohio  Eailroad,  and  is  designed  for  two  tracks  only. 

The  Baltimore  and  Potomac  Railroad  now  enters  the  city  limits  at  the 
Eastern  Branch,  between  L  and  M  streets  south,  crosses  Fifteenth, 
Fourteenth,  Thirteenth,  and  Twelfth  streets,  and  thence,  in  tunnel, 
along  the  general  line  of  Virginia  avenue  and  K  street  south  to  the 
west  building  line  of  Sixth  street,  where  it  emerges  upon  the  grade  of 
K  street,  and  follows  the  line  of  this  street,  conforming  approximately 
to  the  street  grades,  to  Canal  street,  thence  along  ('anal  street  to  Vir- 
ginia avenue,  along  Virginia  avenue  to  Maryland  avenue,  and  along 
Maryland  avenue  to  the  Long  Bridge,  conforming  to  the  street  grades. 

From  the  western  terminus  of  the  tunnel  to  the  Long  Bridge,  this 
road  is  open  to  the  ordinary  objections  to  steam  railroads  which  occupy 
the  greater  part  of  a  narrow  street  at  grade,  and  cross  the  intersecting 
streets  also  at  grade.  Where  the  line  is  upon  the  avenues  there  is  plentv 
of  space  for  the  tracks  and  the  street  traffic  also,  but  the  objections  in- 
cident to  being  on  the  street  grade  are  in  full  force,  and  complaints  are 
numerous  that  the  avenues  are  made  use  of  as  freight  depots,  for  mak- 
ing up  trains,  and  loading  or  unloading  freight.  A  change  is  quite  as 
much  needed  here  as  in  the  case  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  in 
the  northeastern  section  of  the  city. 

This  road  has  its  depot  at  Sixth  street  and  Pennsylvania  avenue,  which 
is  reached  by  branches  from  the  main  line  on  Virginia  avenue  and  Mary- 
land avenue,  down  the  line  of  Sixth  street,  running  across  the  mall  and 
cutting  off  the  Capitol  from  the  Executive  Mansion  and  public  buildings. 
When  the  privilege  of  this  location  was  granted  to  the  company  the 
mall  east  of  Sixth  street  was  unimproved,  and  the  objection  was  not  so 
obvious.  At  present  this  improvement  is  progressing  by  annual  appro- 
priations and  the  presence  of  the  depot  and  tracks  is  a  serious  and  un- 
sightly obstruction.  These  branch  lines  are  open  to  the  common  objec- 
tion of  occupying  the  greater  part  of  a  narrow  street  at  grade. 

It  is  proposed  to  deflect  this  road,  where  it  is  in  tunnel  at  Eighth 
stay  and  \  irgima  avenue,  northward,  along  the  line  of  Eighth  street, 
^S^^t^^JtaSBt  ^Mbenee  along  E  street  to  the

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA..  215 


road  follows  the  line  of  Virginia  avenue  to  a  point  between  Four-and-a- 
half  street  and  Sixth  street  southwest,  where  a  short  open  eut  follow- 
jnu  the  same  line  connects  it  with  a  tunnel 'beginning  at  the  east  build- 
ing line  of  Seventh  street  southwest,  Street  traffic  on  Four-and-a-half 
and  Sixth  streets  may  be  diverted  at  Virginia  avenue  to  Third  and 
Seventh  streets,  respectively,  one  square  each,  along  the  line  of  the  av- 
enue, or  these  streets  may  be  adapted  to  crossing  the  railroad  by  the 
use  of  a  light  iron  bridge,  and  a  short  approach  by  ramp,  as  in  similar 
cases  in  New  York  City  and  elsewhere.  All  other  streets  are  crossed 
with  sufficient  headway  under  the  elevated  roads  to  pass  under  at  their 
present  grades. 

From  the  east  building  line  of  Seventh  street  the  tunnel  continues 
along  the  line  of  Virginia  avenue  to  Maryland  avenue,  thence  along  the 
line  of  Maryland  avenue  to  the  west  building  line  of  Twelfth  street, 
where  an  open  cut  commences,  following  the  same  line  of  Maryland 
avenue  to  the  east  building  line  of  Fourteenth  street.  Here  it  termi- 
nates in  the  street  grade  where  the  present  causeway  of  the  Long 
Bridge  commences. 

It  is  proposed  to  widen  this  causeway  to  160  feet,  and  raise  the  grade 
uniformly  out  to  tin*  bridge  abutment,  which  is  to  be  15  feet  above  tide. 
A  roadway  and  foot-walk  will  continue  on  each  side  of  the  railroad 
tracks  to  within  a  suitable  distance  of  the  abutment,  at  the  same  grade, 
but  upon  nearing  the  abutment  these  roadways  will  be  made  to  rise 
gradually  above  the  grade  of  tin4  tracks  and  meet  upon  an  arched  way 
above  them.  This  will  leave  the  lower  chords  of  the  bridge  for  the 
road-bed  of  the  railways  and  the  viaduct  upon  the  upper  chords  of  the 
bridge  will  carry  the  ordinary  traffic  of  vehicles  and  foot  passengers 
above  the  tracks. 

A  new  bridge,  to  replace  the  Long  Bridge,  is  indispensable.  When 
ilic  channel  of  the  river  is  contracted  to  its  proper  width  by  the 
new  water-front,  scouring  will  inevitably  take  place  around  the  piers  of 
the  present  bridge,  and  the  probability  is  that  the  first  freshet  there- 
after would  carry  it  off.  It  is  not  of  proper  construction  for  the  use 
required  of  it  in  the  future,  and  cannot  properly  accommodate  two  im- 
portant railroads  and  the  local  vehicular  traffic.' 

It  is  proposed  to  construct  a  new  bridge  upon  the  general  plan  here 
outlined  of  adequate  strength  and  capacity,  and  with  stone  piers  at 
intervals  of  about  250  feet,  sunk  to  a  solid  foundation,  if  practicable  to 
>ea-rock,  like  the  piers  of  the  aqueduct  bridge.  Borings  taken  many 
years  ago,  indicate  the  probability  of  finding  the  rock  at  a  reasonable 
depth,  but  are  not  conclusive  as  to  this.  A  draw  of  sufficient  size  to 
;><'<jominodate  the  navigation  of  the  river  will  be  needed. 

In  order  to  afford  the  railroad  companies  an  opportunity  to  negotiate 
lively  for  the  purchase  of  sites  for  the  new  depots  they  require,  it  is 

thft  >  tG  leave  to  the  coml>anies,  respectively,  the  selection  of 

"6  site,  as  well  as  the  option  of  combining  in  a  union  depot  or  erecting 
separate  depots,  imposing  only  the  condition  that  the  location  and  grade 
such  depot  or  depots  shall  be  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Commis- 
sioners of  the  District  of  Columbia. ' 

I-  j  .  "  a  careful  consideration  of  various  routes  and  plans  for  accom- 
j  iisnmg  the  purposes  here  stated,  1  believe  that  the  plan  presented 
give  the  most  satisfactory  results. 

n  the  part  of  the  District  it  presents  the  following  advantages  : 
nrnv  °  Mnl(lin&s  tor  depots,  which  now  obstruct  the  growth  and  im- 
plement of  the  city,  are  to  be  abandoned, 
several  miles  of  track  now  laid  through  the  streets  of  the  city,  as  if 


216    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


through  wild  lands  remote  from  human  habitation,  or  running  on  grade 
across  aud  along  populous  streets  and  avenues,  are  to  be  put  under 
around  a  sufficient  depth  to  enable  the  street  traffic  to  pass  over  them, 
or  lifted  sufficiently  above  the  grade  of  the  streets  to  enable  the  traffic 
to  pass  under  them,  maintaining  the  present  grades  ot  the  streets.  This 
is  accomplished  in  the  case  of  every  street  on  the  line  ot  each  road  after 
its  entrance  into  the  city,  except  two  (Four-and-a-half  and  Sixth),  which 
can  be  especially  provided  for,  and  three  others,  (Second  east,  Thirteenth 
and  Thirteenth-and-a-half  west),  which  can  be  similarly  provided  for, 
should  they  ever  require  it.  The  two  latter  are  short  streets,  only  three 
squares  in 'length,  intersected  by  an  open  cut  near  their  lower  end.  They 
will  probably  never  need  a  crossing. 

The  advantage  of  this  disposition  of  the  railroads  is  not  alone  the  se- 
curity obtained  for  the  ordinary  city  t  raffic.  It  effects  as  well  a  reclama- 
tion of  the  narrow  streets,  now  wholly  occupied  by  the  tracks,  and  pre- 
vents the  use  of  the  streets  as  freight  depots,  or  for  any  purpose  other 
than  through  transit.  The  result  will  be  a  very  great  improvement  in 
the  value  of  real  estate,  now  depreciated  because  of  the  present  state  of 
affairs. 

The  proposed  lines  follow,  where  in  excavation,  the  course  of  a  ridge 
upon  which  the  surface  flow  of  rain-fall  naturally  divides.  The  effect 
upon  the  drainage  system  of  the  city  is  therefore  a  minimum.  There  is 
very  little  interference  with  the  sewers.  At  Maryland  avenue  it  will 
be  necessary  to  deflect  a  3£-foot  diameter  sewer  to  (r  street,  and  along 
G  to  Fifteenth.  The  lower  portion  of  the  intercepted  sewer  then  becomes 
available  for  the  drainage  of  an  additional  area  south  of  it,  and  nothing 
is  lost  by  the  change.  No  other  sewers  of  any  importance  are  inter- 
cepted. 

The  same  peculiarity  of  following  the  ridge  affords  the  advantage  of 
very  short  open  cuts,  connecting  the  tunnel  with  the  elevated  road,  tin* 
sudden  descent  of  the  surface  grades  at  the  end  of  the  ridge  favoring 
the  transition.  Thus  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  railroad  crosses  the  line 
of  Second  street  east,  in  tunnel,  and  crosses  First  street  and  New  Jersey 
avenue,  only  one  square  distant,  by  elevated  road  at  22  feet  above  the 
grade  of  New  Jersey  avenue.  The  Baltimore  and  Potomac  Railroad 
crosses  the  line  of  Third  street  east,  in  tunnel,  passes  one  square  above 
the  terminus  of  Second  street  and  (Tosses  New  Jersey  avenue,  also  22 
feet  above  grade.  This  prevents  interference  with  the  travel  of  any  in- 
tersecting street. 

The  surplus  excavation,  which  will  be  quite  a  large  amount,  will  be 
used  for  filling  Delaware  avenue  and  other  streets  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
Capitol  which  cross  the  line  of  the  old  canal  and  for  reclaiming  the  Poto- 
mac flats  in  the  vicinity  of  the  present  Long  Bridge. 

The  route  proposed  appears  to  otter  a  number  of  advantages  to  the 
railroad  companies. 

The  right  of  way  is  given,  throughout,  on  the  line  of  public  streets 
and  avenues. 

The  lines  are  short  and  direct,  with  easy  curves. 

On  the  line  of  the  Baltimore  and  Potomac  Railroad,  the  maximum  cut 
is  35  feet,  and  the  line  is  a  short  one.  On  the  line  of  the  Baltimore  and 
Ohio  Railroad,  the  maximum  cut  is  35  feet,  and  on  the  combined  line 
from  New  Jersey  avenue  westward  it  is  only  20  feet.  All  tunnels  will, 
therefore,  be  built  in  open  cut,  with  very  little  danger  of  any  trouble 
whatever  from  underground  springs.  The  material  excavated  will  be 
a  strong  clay,  with  some  gravel  and  perhaps  sand.  No  rock  excavation 
is  probable. 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  217 

This  work  will  present  much  less  difficulty  than  does  the  boundary 
sewer  now  in  course  of  construction.  There  the  maximum  cut  is  45 
feet,  and  water  is  found  at  a  depth  of  30  feet,  in  considerable  quantities, 
witli  sand  and  gravel  that  wash  out  rapidly  from  beneath  the  overlying 
clay,  bringing  down  the  side  banks  into  the  excavation. 

The  shallow  cut  makes  it  practicable  in  the  construction  of  the  tun- 
nels to  provide  readily  for  unlimited  ventilation. 

The  grades  arc  sufficiently  easy,  the  maximum  being  53  feet  per  mile, 
much  h  ss  than  has  heretofore  been  found  practicable  in  this  class  of 
construction;  the  ground  being  exceptionally  favorable. 

The  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  has  the  longest  and  most  expensive 
independent  line  to  run,  besides  providing  for  connections  outside  the 
city  limits.  The  connections  of  the  Baltimore  and  Potomac  Railroad  re- 
main as  they  are  now.  On  the  other  had,  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Rail- 
road acquires  a  valuable  franchise  in  the  crossing  of  the  Potomac  on.the 
line  of  the  Long  Bridge. 

Plans  of  the  proposed  improvement  are  transmitted  herewith,  and 
detailed  estimates  have  been  prepared  under  my  direction,  the  compu- 
tations being  made  by  Mr.  George  IT.  Bailey  and  Mr.  John  P.  Alexander.

SUMMARY. 

Independent  line  Baltimore  and  Ohio  to  New  Jersey  avenue   959,  878  60 

Independent  line  Baltimore  and  Potomac  to  New  Jersey  avenue   405,393  95

Grand  total   *2,  305, 824  09 

The  first  two  items  would,  perhaps,  suffice  for  the  present,  adding 
the  cost  of  a  temporary  wooden  trestle  from  New  Jersey  avenue  to  Four- 
and-a-half  street,  and  reserving  the  more  expensive  construction  of  the 
viaduct  until  it  shall  be  considered  necessary  to  put  the  roads  under 
ground  west  of  Four-and-a-half  street.  The  beam  tunnels  might  for  the 
present  be  omitted  and  temporary  wooden  bridges  be  substituted  for 
them. 

The  grand  total  represents  a  considerable  expenditure,  but  the  cost 
may  be  urged  as  an  objection  to  any  plan  for  changing  the  present  loca- 
tion of  the  tracks,  and  would  be  urged  with  much  greater  force  against 
any  other  line  than  the  one  selected  if  it  served  the  purposes  intended 
in  this  one.  No  temporizing  scheme  should  be  considered  at  all.  It  is 
better  to  let  the  tracks  remain  as  they  are  than  shift  the  nuisance  to 
other  localities,  only  to  be  shifted  again.  That  the  present  plan  is  an 
economical  one  appears  in  this,  that  it  serves  the  purposes  intended  at  a 
minimum  of  cost. 

The  Fourth  avenue  improvement  in  New  York  City,  designed  to  accom- 
plish precisely  the  same  results,  has  recently  been  completed.  The 
length  of  the  line  differs  but  little  from  that  of  the  one  here  proposed, 
yet  the  cost  was  about  $6,000,000.  It  was  economically  constructed 
under  thoroughly  competent  and  careful  management.  The  lesser  cost 
of  the  proposed  route  through  Washington  is  due  to  the  natural  advan- 
tages of  the  line  selected. 

As  the  cost  of  the  bridge  will  depend  largely  upon  the  depth  to  which 
the  piers  must  be  sunk  to  reach  a  solid  foundation,  and  this  has  not  yet 
been  ascertained,  no  estimate  is  given  for  this.  The  building  of  the 
causeway,  having  side  slopes  of  earth,  will  constitute  a  part  of  the  rec- 
lamation or  the  flats  over  which  it  will  extend,  and  will  be  made  from 
the  surplus  excavation  for  the  tunnel.  The  small  amount  of  masonry 
rHiuirea  tor  joining  the  side  roads  over  the  tracks  at  the  commencement 
or  the  viaduct  will  rest  on  piles  to  be  driven  before  the  filling  begins. 

am  indebted  to  Mr.  Allen  Campbell,  formerly  commissioner  of  public 
tl  eFnnrfi  "°W  ^.mPtM>ller  of  New  York  City,  for  the  detailed  plans  of

The  most  important  work  executed  on  the  streets  since  the  establish- 
ment ot  the  present  form  of  government,  in  1878,  has  been  the  gradual 
placement  of  the  worthless  wooden  pavements.    The  amount  of  this

can  be  rephu 

will  therefore  be  on  the  1st  of  next  July  about  10  miles  of  streets,  con- 
taining nearly  250,000  square  yards  of  wooden  pavements  nearly,  if  not 
quite,  impassable  and  dangerous.  Although  a  great  many  of  the  princi- 
pal thoroughfares  have  now  been  properly  paved,  yet  many  important 
streets  are  included  in  these  10  miles,  such  as  portions  of  New  Jersey, 
.Massachusetts,  Pennsylvania,  Xew  Hampshire,  Rhode  Island,  and  Mary- 
land avenues,  and  of  Fourteenth,  Ninth,  and  P  streets.  The  proper 
paying  of  these  and  other  streets  now  covered  with  fragments  of  wood 
exceeds  in  importance  all  other  work  on  the  streets,  and  it  is  hoped  that 
as  much  of  the  current  revenues  of  the  next  fiscal  year  as  can  possibly 
be  spared,  after  the  ordinary  expenses  of  the  city  are  provided  for,  will 
be  appropriated  for  this  work. 

As  stated  in  previous  annual  reports,  all  pavements  laid  since  L878  in 
this  city  have  been  of  certain  standard  descriptions,  to  wit:  a  pavement 
of  asphaltic  concrete  laid  on  a  foundation  of  hydraulic  cement  concrete,  for 
streets  of  moderate  grade  and  uniformly  distributed  travel;  and  a  pave- 
ment of  granite  blocks  laid  on  a  foundation  of  well-rolled  gravel  and 
sand  and  cemented  with  tar  and  gravel  in  the  joints,  for  streets  of  con- 
fined travel  or  steep  grades.  In  addition,  one  or  two  squares  have  been 
paved  each  year  with  compressed  asphalt  blocks;  a  lack  of  certain  ty  as 
to  the  durability  of  this  pavement  having  prevented  its  use  in  larger 
quantities. 

The  qualities  of  these  different  pavements  were  discussed  at  length 
in  the  last  annual  report,  and  it  is  not  necessary  to  again  describe  them. 
Certain  minor  changes  have  been  made  as  the  result  of  a  large  practical 
experience  but  m  general  terms  the  character  of  the  pavements  has  not 
oten  altered  since  1878.    The  principal  of  these  minor  changes  consist

On  all  pavements  laid  since  1878  the  repairs  for  a  period  of  five  years 
are  made  at  the  contractor's  expense.  On  the  pavements  laid  prior  to 
that  date  the  repairs  are  made  by  the  District.  The  most  important  of 
these  are  the  repairs  to  the  concrete  pavements  (principally  of  coal  tar), 
which  make  up  a  length  of  about  30  miles.  Under  the  system  which 
has  been  gradually  established  these  pavements  are  kept  in  thorough 
repair  at  all  times.  The  minor  repairs  and  patching  are  made  under  a 
contract  let  each  fiscal  year  for  that  classof  work.  Under  this  contract 
skilled  laborers  are  kept  at  work  on  some  portion  of  these  pavements 
during  a  portion  of  every  month  in  the  year  except  during  the  winter. 
The  total  amount  of  work  executed  during  the  past  year  was  28,580.70 
square  yards  of  repairs,  costing  123,861.27. 

In  this  manner  small  holes  are  repaired  before  they  become  serious, 
and  the  surface  is  kept  in  good  order.  When  finally  the  surface  is  so 
worn  out  that  small  repairs  are  no  longer  sufficient,  then  the  street  is  re- 
surfaced with  a  coating  of  asphaltic  concrete  similar  to  that  used  in  new 
asphalt  pavements.  The  following  streets  were  thus  resurfaced  last 
year,  viz : 


J*  street  southwest,  from  Four-and-a-half  to  Eleventh  streets, 
uitreel  northwest, from  Eighth  to  Thirteenth  streets

Contracts  were  also  made  in  May  last  for  resurfacing  portions  of 
Pennsylvania  avenue,  Vermont  avenue,  V  and  II  streets,  amounting  to 
25,000  yards  in  all,  but  owing  to  the  failure  of  the  contractors,  the  work 
has  m>{  yet  been  executed. 

flu;  annual  cost  of  maintaining  all  the  concrete  pavements  in  the 
District  averaged  8j  cents  per  square  yard  for  the  seven  years  previous 
to  1880.  For  the  la"st  year  the  cost  (including  contracts  not  yet  com- 
pleted) was  about  9  cents  per  yard.  If  constantly  attended  to  in  the 
manner  above  described,  the  surfaces  can  be  kept  in  good  order  at  small 
expense,  and  they  then  give  great  satisfaction.  An  appropriation  of 
not  less  than  $50*000  should  be  made  for  this  purpose  for  the  next  year. 

l.he  rmiffh  .stone  pavement*  are,  as  a  general  rule,  in  bad  order.  It  is 
a!J  n,ferior  kind  of  pavement,  and  the  limited  appropriation  made  annu- 
ally tor  miscellaneous  work  under  the  superintendent  of  repairs  is  entirely 
^adequate  to  keep  them  in  proper  order. 


222    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

The  macadam  pavements  have  greatly  deteriorated  daring  the  six  years 
in  which  hardly  any  repairs  have  been  made  to  them.  The  pavement 
on  Four-and-a-half  street  is  so  completely  worn  out  that  a  portion  of  it 
is  now  being  replaced  with  granite  blocks.  The  rest  of  the  street  will 
be  repaired  from  the  appropriation  of  $5,000  made  at  the  last  session  of 
Congress  for  the  repair  of  macadam  roadways.  A  small  amount  of 
work  greatly  needed,  can  also  be  executed  with  this  appropriation  on 
other  macadam  streets.  A  similar  appropriation  should  be  made  for 
next  year. 

The  graveled  streets  arenas  a  general  rule,  in  localities  where  there  is 
not  a  geat  deal  of  travel ;  they  are  kept  in  as  good  order  us  is  possible 
with  the  small  appropriation  for  miscellaneous  repairs. 


OTHER  IMPROVEMENTS. 

Of  the  appropriation  of  $300,000  for  paving  and  improving  streets, 
live-sixths  of  the  whole  amount  was  expended  in  replacing*  the  wood. 
The  remaining  $50,000  was  expended  as  follows:

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  223 
CURRENT  WORK  OF  REPAIRS  OF  STREETS  AND  ALLEYS. 

There  are  25  miles  of  stone  pavements,  35  miles  of  graveled  streets, 
43  miles  of  paved  alleys,  and  2<J0  miles  of  brick  sidewalks — for  the  or- 
dinary ;md  cm  rent  repairs  of  which  no  special  provision  is  made,  except 
in  one  general  appropriation  for  current  repairs.  The  estimate  submit- 
ted for  this  purpose  last  year  was  $.'50,000,  but  the  appropriation  made 
tortlie  current  year  was  only  $20,000.  This  sum  is  totally  inadequate 
to  perform  the  large  amount  of  work  of  this  character  absolutely  neces- 
sary in  the  course  of  the  year,  and  it  will  be  impossible  to  prevent  some  of 
the  cobble  and  gravel  streets  from  getting  into  very  bad  order  after  the 
rains  of  next  spring.  Thirty  thousand  dollars  is  the  least  sum  for  which 
this  work  can  be  done.  It  cost  $.33,412.40  in  lS79-'80,  and  $32,1G4.72  in 
lsso-'si.  The  nature  of  the  work  performed  last  year  is  shown  in  the 
statement  of  the  superintendent  of  repairs  (Appendix,  Table  E).  It  in- 
cluded 29,700  square  yards  of  cobble-stone  laid  or  relaid,  14,400  feet  of 
gutter  stone  relaid,  2,500  feet  of  curb  reset,  5,000  square  yards  of  brick 
sidewalks  relaid,  65,000  yards  of  graveling  roadways,  and  30  receiving 
basins  built  under  pumps  and  hydrants  to  carry  the  drippings  into  the 
nearest  sewer.  After  every  rain  large  numbers  of  dangerous  holes  are 
reported  by  the  police,  and  these  must  be  promptly  repaired  in  order  to 
prevent  accident.  The  present  force  of  overseers  (and  many  of  the 
laborers)  employed  under  the  superintendent  of  repairs  have  been 
selected  from  among  the  employees  of  several  years  past,  and  they  are 
thoroughly  efficient  and  familiar  with  their  duties,  and  the  work  per- 
formed under  them  usually  costs  less  than  similar  work  executed  under 
contract,  and  it  is  much  better  done.  It  is  hoped  that  the  importance 
oi  this  (  lass  of  work  will  be  recognized  at  the  next  session  of  Congress 
by  making  a  sufficient  appropriation  for  it. 

In  regard  to  the  sidewalks,  the  old  municipal  ordinance  of  1853  re- 
quired the  owners  or  tenants  of  property  to  keep  the  sidewalks  in  their 
front  in  proper  repair;  and  provided,  in  the  event  of  their  failure  to 
comply  with  the  ordinance,  for  the  performance  of  the  work  by  public 
officers,  and  the  assessment  of  the  cost  against  the  property.  While 
this  ordinance  has  never  been  specifically  repealed,  the  attorney  has 
advised  the  ( Vmunissioners  that  it  is  no  longer  in  force  and  that  the  side- 
walks must  be  repaired  in  the  same  manner  as  the  roadways,  i.  e.7  at  the 
expense  of  the  general  public;.  About  05  per  cent,  of  our  sidewalks  are 
paved  with  bricks,  a  pavement  which  has  little  to  recommend  it,  except 
its  cheapness.  Of  the  whole  260  miles  of  this  pavement  at  least  one- 
tenth  is  in  very  bad  order.  It  is  a  question,  however,  whether  its  re- 
pair is  of  as  much  importance  to  the  city  at  large  as  the  replacement, 
of  the  wood  pavement  on  the  carriage-ways.  In  case  it  should  be  de- 
termined to  do  any  of  this  work,  I  have  submitted  an  estimate  for  re- 
paving  the  sidewalks  of  both  sides  of  Pennsylvania  avenue  from  the 
bapitol  to  the  Treasury,  with  a  permanent  pavement  of  blue  stone  flag- 
ging, or  of  Portland  cement-stone,  such  as  has  been  largely  used  in  the 
Capitol  grounds  and  elsewhere.    The  cost  of  this  work  is  estimated  at 

teas  than  $50,000.  Should  it  be  done,  a  portion  of  the  bricks  ob- 
where  avenue  could  be  used  to  make  temporary  repairs  else- 

STREET  CLEANING. 

The  paved  streets  are  swept  by  contract,  running  for  three  years 
Inject  to  annual  appropriations)  from  July  1,  1880,  at  the  rate  of  23J 
cents  per  1,000  square  yards  actually  swept  and  cleaned.    Of  these 


\ 


224    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

streets  about  4  per  cent,  are  cleaned  daily ;  6  per  cent,  twice  per  week ; 
50  percent,  once  per  week;  and  40  percent,  once  in  two  weeks;  the 
streets  on  which  there  is  most  travel  being  cleaned  most  frequently. 
The  total  amount  cleaned  during  the  past  year  was  110,535,16*0  square 
yards,  costing  f 26,252.10.  The  contractor  uses  sweeping-machines  with 
revolving  brooms. 

The  unpaved  streets  are  cleaned  from  time  to  time  by  day's  labor,  under 
the  superintendent  of  repairs,  $2,029.45  having  been  expended  lor  this 
purpose  last  year.  The  unusually  heavy  fall  of  snow  during  the  past 
winter  necessitated  a  considerable  expense  for  leveling  snowbanks, 
cleaning  crosswalks,  and  removing  ice  from  the  roadways.  The  ice 
was  broken  up  by  large  scrapers  supplied  by  the  contractor  for  street 
cleaning,  and  he  was  paid  the  actual  cost  of  this  work,  amounting  to 
$254.07.  The  balance  of  the  work  necessary  for  removing  the  snow 
and  ice  was  performed  by  day's  labor  under  the  superintendent  of  re- 
pairs, at  an  expense  of  $2,819.37. 

The  total  expenses  for  street  cleaning  were  then  as  follows: 

Cleaning  paved  streets   $26,252  10 

Cleaamg  unpaved  streets    2,  029  45 

Removing  snow  and  ice   '.i,  063  44 

Sprinkling  macadam  .streets   499  42 

Total   31,844  41 

In  addition  to  salaries  of  inspectors,  amounting  to  $1,280.45. 

For  the  present  year  the  appropriation  is  only  $30,000,  and  as  many 
streets  have  been  repaved  during  the  past  and  present  year  and  require 
more  frequent  cleaning,  it  is  probable  that  this  appropriation  will  be  in- 
sufficient to  carry  the  present  schedule  of  cleaning  during  the  year,  and 
in  the  spring  the  streets  will  have  to  be  cleaned  less  frequently.  For 
the  next  year  the  appropriation  should  be  restored  to  $33,000. 

ALLEY  CLEAN  [NG. 

The  alleys  are  cleaned  at  present  on  the  same  system,  paved  alleys 
by  contract  at  M  cents  per  1,000  square  yards  for  each  cleaning,  and 
unpaved  alleys  by  day's  labor.  During  the  past  year  the  alleys  were 
cleaned  by  contract  for  a  fixed  sum  of  $4,275.  The  alleys  are  cleaned 
once  a  week  during  the  summer  months,  and  once  in  two  weeks  during 
the  winter. 

STREET  LIGHTING. 

The  streets  are  lighted  by  the  Washington  and  the  Georgetown  gas 
companies,  under  contracts  with  these  companies  at  so  much  per  lamp 
per  annum.    The  rate  last  year  was  828.70  in  Washington,  and  $32  in

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  225 

The  act  of  June  4,  1880,  appropriated  82,000  for  erecting  and  lighting 
lamps  in  alleys.  Under  tin's  appropriation  75  lamps  were  erected  in 
the  alleys,  where  they  are  of  great  service  to  the  police  in  following 

criminals. 


COUNTY  ROADS. 


The  principal  work  done  in  the  county  during  the  past  year  was  the 
thorough  repair  of  Seventh  street  road,  which  is  the  main  entrance  to 
the  city  from  the  north.  This  work  began  at  Boundary  street-  and 
for  a  distance  of  1,437  feet  the  entire  road-bed  was  piekedup  and  relaid 
with  macadam,  the  curbs  set,  and  sidewalks  repaired.  Beyond  this 
point  the  read  was  repaired  by  picking  np  the  old  macadam,  rebreaking 
it.  and  adding  fresh  metal  in  the  central  portion  of  the  road  18  feet 
wide,  and  In  graveling  the  road  on  each  side  of  the  macadam  The 
work  was  done  m  the  most  thorough  manner,  bv  dav's  labor  It  was 
stopped  by  bad  weather  in  the  latter  part  of  November,. at  which  time 
the  work  had  progressed  as  far  as  Sammy's  Hill,  a  distance  of  9  287 
feet.  The  cost  of  this  (including  an  accumulation  of  macadam  metal 
for  further  work)  exhausted  the  appropriation  offl5,000  made  for  that 
special  purpose.  This  year  the  work  was  resumed  on  July  5,  and  con- 
tinued until  September  29,  at  which  date  it  had  progressed  as  far  as 
be  foot  oi  the  loll  leading  to  Brightwood,  a  distance  of  4,730  feet  from

226    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLl  MBIA. 

The  oblect  of  this  survey  is  to  obtain  accurate  maps  of  a  scale  suffl- 
itS  to  make  proper  plans  for  the  extension  of  the  streets  and 
o  \»i » i 1 1  ^ » s|  i  n^^ie  rai  )idl  y  Rowing  portion  of  the  county  just  north  ot  tliecity. 
The  Ste  kS  Lid  out  in  that  section  do  not  conform  to  each  other 
or  to tb ^general  plan  of  the  city,  and  an  alteration  in  their  lines  will 
he  demoded  as  soon  as  they  are  thickly  built  upon.  It  is  very  impor- 
tent  thaS  error  should  be  avoided  in  streets  to  be  laid  out  hereatter. 

ESTIMATES  FOR  THE  COMPLETION  OF  STREETS. 

The  act  establishing  the  present  form  of  government  requires  the  Com- 
missioners to  transmit  annually  to  Congress  estimates  ot  the  amount 
necessary  to  defray  the  expenses  for  the  next  liscal  year;  and  among 
these  estimates  "a  statement  showing  in  detail  the  work  proposed  to  be 
undertaken  by  them  during  the  fiscal  year  next  ensuing,  and  the  estimated 
cost  thereof."  The  act  further  provides  that  after  Congress  approves 
these  estimates  it  shall  appropriate  the  amount  of  one-half  thereof,  and 
that  the  other  half  shall  be  raised  by  a  certain  uniform  tax  upon  taxable 
property  and  privileges.  . 

There  being  no  provision  for  assessing  any  portion  whatever  ot  the 
cost  of  street  improvements  upon  the  abutting  property,  petitions  im- 
mediately came  in  in  large  numbers  praying  for  improvement  s  of  every 
character.  The  number  of  these  petitions  presented  during  the  last- 
three  years  and  now  on  fde  in  this  office  amounts  to  72(1,  and  they  in- 
elude  nearly  every  street  in  the  city.  As  previously  stated,  however, 
the  Commissioners  limited  their  work  on  the  streets  mainly  to  re- 
placing worthless  wooden  pavements,  which  alone  has  absorbed  all  the 
revenues  available  for  street  work  ;  and  hence  the  greater  part  of  these 
petitions  have  not  been  acted  upon. 

In  order  to  prepare  a  basis  on  which  to  make  the  estimates  and  state- 
ment of  work  above  referred  to,  I  have  carefully  examined  the  condition 
of  every  street  within  the  limits  of  the  two  cities,  excluding  the  un- 
settled portions  east  of  Lincoln  Park,  south  of  N  street  south,  and 
between  the  White  Lot  and  the  Observatory.  The  necessary  measure- 
ments have  been  made  and  the  estimate  calculated  in  detail  of  the-  cost 
at  present  prices  of  putting  all  the  streets  in  proper  order,  as  petit  ioned 
for.  This  schedule  is  submitted  herewith  (Appendix,  Table  C  ),  together 
with  a  map  showing  the  present  condition  of  the  streets  and  the  im- 
provements needed.  It  comprises  work  on  173  st  reets  or  parts  of  streets 
in  the  city,  in  addition  to  the  suburban  streets  just  outside  the  city 
limits. 

The  most  important  work  is  the  replacement  of  wood  pavements, 
amounting  to  UI^T.jT  square  yards,  and  estimated  to  cost  1633,627.55. 

Next  in  importance  is  the  replacement  of  a  portion  of  the  rough  and 
unsuitable  cobble  or  blue  rock  pavements  in  the  heart  of  the  city — such 
as  -U,  6tb,  10th,  and  14th  streets  adjacent  to  Pennsylvania  avenue. 
The  amount  of  this  work  is  99,713  square  yards,  estimated  to  cost 
$259,847.15. 

Next  in  order  is  the  replacement  of  the  macadam,  where  it  was  left 
unfinished  or  improperly  laid  prior  to  187o.  New  York  avenue,  east  of 
5th  street,  11th  street  southeast,  and  the  western  portion  off  street  are 
samples  of  this.  The  whole  amount  is  80,931)  square  yards,  estimated  to 
cost  $174,018.85. 

All  of  this  work  is  replacement  of  pavements  already  laid,  but  now 
worn  out  or  unserviceable. 
Of  new  work  there  is  required  a  certain  amount  of  paving  on  streets

of  heavy  travel,  such  as  Virginia  avenue,  F  and  H  streets  south,  and 
Vermont  avenue,  Q,  and  other  streets  north.  The  total  amount  is 
118,000  square  yards,  estimated  to  cost  (with  grading  and  sidewalks) 
$305,522. 1 0.  Less  important  streets  are  estimated  for  a  gravel  roadway, 
together  with  curbs,  gutters,  and  sidewalks.  The  number  of  streets 
partly  built  upon  but  wholly  unimproved  is  very  large,  amounting  to 
985,188  square  yards,  and  the  estimated  cost  of  improvement  is  $903, 
919.80. 

1  have  also  estimated  for  relaying  the  sidewalks  on  Pennsylvania 
avenue, $51,397.20, and  for  grading  and  graveling  the  streets  of  recorded 
subdivisions  adjacent  to  the  city,  $194,230. 

The  grand  total  of  cost  of  these  improvements  is  $2,582,502.05.  This 
is  the  work  for  which  petitions  are  on  hie,  and  which  is  necessary  to 
complete  the  streets  of  the  city  and  its  suburbs.  It  is  apparent  at  a 
glance  that  its  cost  far  exceeds  the  amount  of  revenue  which  can  be  de- 
voted to  the  streets  for  several  years.  With  an  annual  appropriation  of 
$300,000  (as  for  the  past  three  years)  it  will  be  more  than  eight  years 
before  this  work  can  be  completed*  If  a  law  were  passed  by  which 
abutting  property  could  be  made  to  bear  some  portion  of  the  cost  of 
street  improvements  by  which  its  value  is  immensely  enhanced,  much 
more  work  could  be  done  in  each  year;  and  the  readiness  of  property- 
holders  to  share  the  expense  would  assist  the  Commissioners  in  select- 
ing what  work  is  to  be  done  from  among  the  immense  quantity  asked 
for.  Without  such  assessments  the  general  revenues  cannot  replace 
the  balance  of  wood  pavements  alone  in  less  than  two  years. 

I  respectfully  submit  this  schedule  to  your  judgment  in  order  that  you 
may  select  the  work  to  be  executed  during  the  next  fiscal  year. 
Very  respectfully,  vour  obedient  servant,

Before  closing  my  report,  I  wish  to  urge  upon  Congress,  through  you, 
the  very  great  necessity  of  its  taking  steps,  at  the  approaching  session, 
to  improve  the  water  supply. 

Everything  concerning  the  Water  Department  is  in  the  most  satisfac- 
tory condition  except  the  want  of  an  ample  supply  of  water. 

The  rents  are  paid  up  closer  than  they  have  ever  been  in  any  previous 
year,  and  the  arrearage  tax  on  mains  is  being  satisfactorily1  collected. 
The  water-takers  are  more  prompt  in  complying  with  the  lawsand  regula- 
tions; and  the  plumbers,  who  have  as  a  class  been  found  much  fault  with, 
1  am  happy  to  state  readily  comply  now  with  the  law  and  regulations, 
with  a  few  exceptions,  and  give  the?  department  no  trouble. 

lhe  department  lias  had  considerable  increased  work  in  trying  to  have 
the  stop-cock  and  street-washer  boxes  which  project  above  the  sidewalks 
lowered  to  the  grade  of  the  pavement.  The  majority  of  the  property- 
owners  act  promptly  after  being  notified  to  have  their  boxes  lowered. 
^ veiTin' a  ligiAt  about  tue  matter, but  by  kind  persuasion  have  finally 

It  is  difficult  to  estimate  for  certain  expenditures  of  the  department 
in  auvance.  For  instance,  we  cannot  tell  how  many  of  the  mains  may 
need  repair.  This  depends  altogether  upon  the  severitv  of  the  winter. 
*  e  Mould  no  doubt  have  had  a  great  deal  of  this  kind  of  work  to  do 
■  I"1™ r  ',llt  for  the  timely  snow  which  afforded  protection  to  them, 
■i  in  fh  "^PWtowto  improvement"  by  the  board  of  publi  wok 
wer  V  i  iC!S  Were  lowered  aild  the  water-mains  in  said  streets 
to  ZmZt 772  ^  corre?Pood  with  the  grade,  consequently  they  are

annffion  nf  r^f  **  ^P^ated,  as  it  altogether  depends  on  the 
aie Zl ^  i  tieS  \h°  T  Lnterested  in  having  them  laid.  As  the

trouble.  It  thought  the  supply  would  be  increased  for  domestic  use  by 
the  shutting  down  of  the  public  fountains,  and  a  request  to  Colonel 
Rockwell,  Commissioner  of  Public;  Buildings  and  Grounds,  to  shut  them 
oil"  was  gracefully  complied  With  by  him,  and  the  experiment  proved  of 
considerable  benefit.  At  present  there  is  a  very  large  number  of  elegant 
residences  being  erected  which  will  require  a  large  supply  of  water,  and 
unless  some  action  is  promptly  taken  to  give  this  increased  supply,  per- 
sons will  feel  discouraged  and  the  city  will  fail  to  be  improved  by  par- 
ties who  are  willing  and  anxious  to  build, but  are  discouraged  by  the 
great  scarcity  of  water,  especially  on  the  higher  points  of  the  city.  Mr. 
Henry  Larman,  the  inspector  and  tapper  of  mains,  calls  my  attention 
again  to  the  importance  of  inserting  a  30-inch  stop-cock  for  a  blow-off 
near  the  intersection  of  New  Jersey  avenue  and  D  street,  northwest,  for 
the  purpose  <>t'  Hushing  the  large  mains  to  clean  out  the  mud  which  ac- 
cumulates In  them.  1  consider  Mr.  Larman  a  very  practical  man,  and 
consequently  attach  importance  to  any  recommendation  which  he  may 
make. 

In  the  present  limited  Supply  of  Potomac  water  I  think  it  would  be 
well  to  preserve  for  use,  in  the  case  of  an  emergency,  all  the  pumps  the 
water  of  which  has  by  chemical  analysis  proved  to  be  of  a  pure  and 
healthful  quality  which  are  now  in  existence.  Besides,  there  are  quite 
a  number  of  poor  persons  who  cannot  afford  to  buy  ice,  and  the  pump- 
water  for  drinking  purposes  affords  them  great  comfort  in  the  swelter- 
ing davs  of  midsummer. 

1  do  nut  think  it  advisable  to  sink  any  new  wells,  for  the  reason  of  the 
extensive  system  of  sewerage,  except,  perhaps,  in  very  special  instances. 

There  is  one  more  thing  1  wish  to  call  attention  to  while  I  am  on  this 
subject;  that  is,  the  great  importance  of  the  police  being  instructed  to 
keep  vigilant  watch  over  pumps,  for  the  reason  that  we  often  have  to 
repair  them  as  many  as  three  or  four  times  within  a  month,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  mischievous  boys  throw  gravel  and  stones  down  them,  and  we 
sometimes  take  out  as  many  as  a  bucketfull.  Two  or  three  arrests  and 
convictions  for  this  outlawry  will  suffice,  I  think,  to  correct  this  trouble. 

1  will  add  that  the  clerks  and  employes  of  the  department  continue 
to  give  satisfaction,  and  are  always  prompt,  reliable,  and  efficient.  The 
inspector  and  tapper  of  mains  gives  increased  evidences  of  his  effi- 
ciency, and  is  frequently  called  out  at  night,  in  all  kinds  of  weather,  to 
superintend  the  repairs  of  leakages  in  mains  to  prevent  the  wastage  of

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  237 


large-sized  tree-boxes  have  been  procured,  and  1,000  of  the  second  size 
for  newly-planted  trees. 

Among  other  items,  58,000  stakes  have  been  used  for  supporting  the 
boxes,  7,500  pounds  of  material  for  strapping,  and  135  kegs  of  nails  in 
repairing  and  renewing  boxes. 

One  hundred  and  fifty-live  old,  decayed,  and  useless  trees  have  been 
removed,  and  2,075  holes  prepared  for  planting. 

The  animal  expenditure,  essentially  necessary  for  the  ordinary  care  of 
the  50,000  trees  in  the  city  lias  now  become  so  large  that  only  a  small 
amount  of  the  annual  appropriation  allotted  the  parking  commission  is 
available  for  the  extension  of  tree-planting. 

The  maintenance  of  the  boxes  for  protection  of  the  trees  constitutes 
a  large  item  of  expenditure*  Over  30,000  of  the  boxes  either  have  been 
renewed  or  stand  in  need  of  renewal,  and  every  year  adds  to  the  list. 
An  effort  has  been  made  to  dispense  with  the  boxes  in  the  case  of  the 
older  trees,  but  it  was  found  impracticable  to  preserve  the  trees  from 
injury  after  removal  of  the  boxes,  so  that  they  had  to  be  again  protected, 
it  is  contemplated  to  substitute  a  cheap  guard  which  will  protect  the 
main  stem  of  the  tree  from  the  gnawing  of  horses,  and  from  the  chop- 
ping with  hatchets  and  peeling  with  knives  in  the  hands  of  those  who 
find  a  malicious  amusement  in  destroying  public  property,  which,  so  far 
as  regards  the  shade  trees,  they  seem  to  be  able  to  do  without  let  or 
hinderance.  If  a  suitable  guard  can  be  adopted,  it  will,  to  that  extent, 
diminish  the  expenditure  for  protection. 

Consequent  upon  the  improvement  which  curtails  the  width  of  the 
streets  and  removes  the  curb  line  to  a  greater  distance  from  the  build- 
ing line,  many  trees,  formerly  on  the  curb  line,  are  now  included  in  the 
parking,  and,  in  some  instances,  they  are  left  in  the  sidewalk,  where  they 
are  palpable  obstructions  in  the  public  thoroughfare;  but,  whether  in 
the  parking  or  the  sidewalk,  they  are  mostly  situated  so  as  to  be  injuri- 
ous to  the  newly-planted  trees,  and  they  should  be  removed  at  once. 

Street  trees  are  subjected  to  many  casualties  and  unhealthy  influences 
which  are  in  a  great  degree  unavoidable.  They  are  particularly  liable 
to  injury  from  storms  on  account  of  the  early  removal  of  all  branches 
from  the  lower  portion  of  the  main  stem;  this  pruning  is  unavoidable 
in  order  that  branches  may  not  interfere  with  the  proper  use  of  the  streets 
and  sidewalks,  but  it  weakens  the  body  of  the  trees,  and  deprives  them 
ot  the  power  of  resisting  the  storms,  as  compared  with  trees  whose 
natural  growth  is  not  disturbed  by  manipulations;  hence  the  necessity 
of  a  strong  protecting  box — strong  enough  to  support  the  plant  for  the 
first  two  or  three  years  of  its  growth ;  but  after  it  ceases  to  atford  sup- 
port it  is  of  no  further  value  except  as  a  guard  to  the  stem  from  depre- 
dations, as  remarked  above.  With  a  view  to  lessen  the  chances  of  injury 
horn  gales,  recourse  is  had  to  pruning  or  thinning  out  the  tops  during 
Bummer,  thus  allowing  the  wind  to  pass  through  the  branches  and 
measurably  saving  the  trees  from  being  uprooted  by  storms. 

Again,  insects  are  more  prevalent  and  more  injurious  on  city  trees 
than  on  those  situated  in  more  exposed  locations.  The  shelter  and 
warmth  of  the  city  favor  their  increase,  and  although  various  remedies 
have  been  suggested  and  tried,  looking  to  their  eradication,  few  have 
oeen  of  practical  value. 

To  destroy  all  kinds  of  scale  insects  on  the  branches,  no  remedy  has 
heen  found  so  efficient  as  that  of  covering  them  with  a  coating  of  com- 
mon lime-wash.  Many  suggestions  have  been  given  for  the  destruction 
of  caterpillars,  and  if  the  operation  was  confined  to  a  few  trees  the  rem- 
edies would  be  found  efficient;  but  when  multiplied  by  thousands  it  is 


238    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

found  that  the  cost  becomes  altogether  beyond  the  appropriations  avail- 
able for  this  purpose;  therefore  the  only  practicable  mode  is  that  ot  re- 
moving the  young  insects  before  they  have  extended  their  webs  over 
the  branches!  and  this  is  accomplished  so  far  as  means  will  allow,  but  it 
is  only  partially  performed  on  account  of  the  amount  of  labor  required. 

Leakage  from  gas-pipes  is  another  evil  which  destroys  many  trees. 
This  cannot  be  foreseen,  even  if  it  could  be  prevented. 

Notwithstanding  all  drawbacks,  there  is  no  city  on  this  continent  so 
well  furnished  with  healthy  shade  trees,  and  as  to  cost  of  planting  and 
care,  we  may  safely  challenge  comparison,  for  a  similar  result,  with  any 
city  in  the  world. 

Respectfully  submitted.

REPORT  OF  THE  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  GAS  AND  LAMPS. 

Engineer's  Office,  District  of  Columbia, 

Washington,  September  15,  1881. 

Sir:  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  my  report  of  the  operations  of  tin's 
office  and  expenditures  incurred  front  June  30,  1880,  to  June  30,  1881, 
showing  a  total  expenditure  of  ^ll^^T^SO. 

The  street  lamps  of  Washington  and  Georgetown  have  been  lighted 
during  the  past  year  2,200  hours.  Sixty  extra  hours  were  burned  in  the 
month  of  March,  owing  to  the  inaugural  ceremonies,  and  the  great  in- 
flux of  strangers  into  the  citymade  it  necessary  to  keep  the  streets  lighted 
fbrthe  protection  of  the  same.  The  extra  hours  burned  in  the  month  of 
March  were  severely  felt  in  the  month  of  June,  as  it  reduced  the  number 
ot  hours  allotted  to  that  month,  and  as  the  month  was  dark  and  stormy 
it  caused  great  dissatisfaction,  owing  to  the  streets  not  being  lighted, 
and  as  the  appropriation  was  limited  to  2,200  hours  there  was  no  rem- 
edy without  creating  a  deficiency  and  violating  an  order  of  your  depart- 
ment. A  new  contract  was  entered  into  with  the  Washington  and 
Georgetown  Gas  Companies  Junel,  1881,  for  lighting  and  repairing  the 
stive,  hnnps  of  these  cities  for  one  year;  the  former  at  $28  and  the 
latter  al  $30 per  annum;  but  before  the  contract  avus  signed  the  Com- 
mittee on  the  District,  House  of  Representatives,  requested  its  suspen- 
sion, u  hen  a  proviso  was  inserted  in  the  sundry  civil  appropriation  bill, 
quiring  the  gas  companies,  on  and  after  duly  1,  1881,  to  light  and  re- 
pair  the  street  lamps  of  the  two  cities  for  the  sun,  of  $25  per  lamp  per 
a  mum,  aim  giving  the  Commissioners  the  discretion  of  using  other  illu- 
i  m  ;  ng  material  m  case  of  a  retusal  on  the  part  of  the  companies  to 
ai^ep h ne  same,  ine  above  figures  will  reduce  the  nj  ice  of  gas  for

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  239 


expense  of  the  gas  company;  the  burner  used  is  the  Ellis  adjustable. 
The  burner  was  tested  and  adjusted  by  the  United  States  inspector  of 
o;is  to  burn  six  feet  of  gas  under  a  pressure  of  thirteen-tenths,  it  being 
the  average  pressure  of  the  eity. 

Eighty  seven  lamps  have  been  erected  during  the  past  year  in  the  two 
cities.    Street  lamps  have  been  extended  to  keep  pace  with  the  improve- 
ments, and  L  can  see  no  good  reason  for  any  further  extension  of  lamps 
during  the  next  year  except  a  small  number  in  the  northwest  section  of 
the  city,  where  it  is  improving  very  rapidly.    Seventy-five  lamps  have 
been  erected  in  the  alleys  in  the  different  sections  of  this  city  and  George- 
town from  the  special  appropriation,  approved  June  4,  1880,  for  erect- 
ing and  lighting  lamps  in  alleys  ;  these  lamps  will  be  a  great  auxiliary 
to  the  police  department  if  proper  protection  can  be  given  them,  as  they 
are  entirely  hid  from  the  view  of  persons  passing  on  the  streets,  and 
therefore  entirely  at  the  mercy  of  the  inhabitants  of  those  alleys,  who 
are  not  of  our  best  class  of  citizens,  and  love  darkness  rather  than 
light;  and  I  am  sorry  to  report  that  a  large  number  of  those  lamx>s 
have  already  been  broken.   I  would  also  report  that  there  has  been  a 
great  destruction  of  the  lamps  lately  erected  beyond  the  boundary,  by 
the  boys,  along  Seventh-street  road;  also  by  the  students  of  Columbia 
College,  on  Fourteenth-street  road.    The  attention  of  the  faculty  was 
called  to  this  great  waste  of  public  property,  and  they  have  promised  to 
give  them  their  protection  in  the  future.    An  arrest  was  made  in  the 
month  of  May  for  the  breakage  of  those  lamps,  by  the  police  department, 
and  when  brought  before  the  police  court  the  law-officers  of  the  Dis- 
trict decided  that  there  was  no  law  to  punish  parties  for  destroying 
public  property  in  the  county,  and  the  party  was  released  without  any 
punishment.    I  would  respectfully  recommend  that  on  a  repetition  of  the 
offense,  the  lamps  be  removed  from  the  posts  in  the  county  until  some 
law  can  be  found  to  give  them  protection.    There  has  also  been  a  great 
destruction  of  glass  in  the  lamps  in  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  city ; 
whole  squares  have  been  broken  in  one  night — Fourteenth  street  from  B 
to  1J,  and  Maryland  avenue  from  Twelfth  to  the  long  bridge,  have  been 
the  principal  points  broken.   The  police  department  have  given  me  all 
the  aid  in  their  power,  but  with  their  limited  force  it  is  impossible  to 
keep  their  men  at  one  point  any  great  length  of  time.    A  large  number 
of  glass  street-signs  have  been  broken  during  the  past  year  ,  principally 
by  the  lamp-lighters  ;  and  on  my  recommendation,  in  my  last  report,  that 
the  gas  companies  beheld  responsible,  which  met  your  approval,  will 
have  a  beneficial  effect.    The  signs  broken  have  been  put  in  complete 
order,  and  covered  in  the  contracts  made  with  the  two  gas  companies 
for  the  repairs  of  those  signs  in  the  future.    One  hundred  new  street 
designations  have  been  placed  on  corner  lamps  which  have  been  erected 
since  the  streets  were  first  marked,  and  which  will  be  a  great  conve- 
nience to  strangers  visiting  our  city. 

On  the  27th  of  June  a  great  storm  passed  over  the  heart  of  the  city, 
causing  great  damage  to  the  street  lamps,  which  accounts  for  the  large 
number  of  new  lamps  used,  as  some  eighty  were  entirely  destroyed,  and 
two  hundred  more  or  less  injured.  In  Georgetown  the  approaches  to 
Oak  Hill  Cemetery  have  been  lighted,  as  well  as  a  portion  of  the  alleys. 

No  erection  of  new  lamps  will  be  required  in  this  city  during  the  present 
J  ear.

The  pressure  of  work  to  complete  the  revision  of  the  special  assessments 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  241 


prior  to  the  session  of  Congress  in  December  last  prevented  the  prepa- 
ration of  any  statements  for  use  in  the  annual  report  for  1880. 

STREETS,  AVENUES,  AND  ROADS. 

The  revision  of  the  assessments  upon  all  the  streets,  avenues,  and 
roads  has  been  completed,  the  result,  as  affecting  each  lot  and  subdivis- 
ion, has  been  entered  upon  the  records,  and  the  drawback  certificate, 
if  any  due,  has  either  been  issued  or  awaits  the  claim  of  owner.  Appen- 
dix i  is  a  statement  in  continuation  of  the  tables  in  the  annual  report 
of  I879,and  gives  the  revisions  completed  since  that  date  of  assesments 
upon  streets,  avenues,  and  roads. 

UNITED  STATES. 

In  the  annual  report  for  1870  is  a  statement  of  the  charges  against 
the  United  States  in  assessments  not  at  that  time  revised.  Appendix 
2  is  a  statement  of  the  corrected  amounts  charged  to  the  United  States 
in  the  revision  of  said  assessments,  amounting  to  $821,205.04  instead  of 
11,085,226.10  as  originally  charged. 

ALLEYS. 

The  alley  assessments  were  suspended  by  a  verbal  order  of  the  former 
Board  of  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia.  The  present  board, 
by  their  order,  dated  February  0,  1880,  revoked  the  order  ot  suspension 
and  directed  the  revision  of  these  assessments.  I  have  completed  the 
examination  of  these,  and  the  work  of  correcting  the  frontages  to  be 
assessed  under  the  order  of  August  27,  187S,  ascertaining  the  partial  and 
total  exemptions  under  the  existing  regulations  and  the  several  acts  of 
Congress,  the  calculation  of  the  drawbacks  to  which  the  individual  lots 
may  he  entitled  either  by  a  credit  upon  unpaid  assessment  or  by  certifi- 
cate, and  the  entering  upon  the  records  the  net  result,  iS  being  pushed 
with  all  the  rapidity  that  my  extremely-reduced  force  will  allow.  Ap- 
pendix 3  is  a  statement  of  the  alley  assessments,  showing  the  amount 
of  the  original  assessment  and  the  amount  of  the  revised  assessment. 
The  latter  amount  is  subject  to  reduction  by  the  drawbacks  that  maybe 
round  due  to  the  individual  lots  as  the  work  of  completing  these  revis- 
ions progresses,  as  well  as  cases  in  which  the  charge  against  property 
assessed  is  virtually  canceled  by  reason  of  the  omission  of  such  charge 
in  certificates  issued  by  the  collector  of  taxes  during  the  period  of  the 
suspension  of  these  assessments. 

LIEN  CERTIFICATES  NOT  HELD  BY  THE  COMMISSIONER  OF  THE  SINK- 
ING- FUND. 

The  amount  of  uncollected  special  assessments,  as  revised,  applicable

based  have  been  by  revision  reduced  to  $173,489.18.  Amount  of  reduc- 
tion 8105,520.51).  'These  lien  certificates  bear  interest  upon  their  face 
at  10  per  centum  per  annum  from  the  date  of  issue,  an  average  of  over 
eight  years.  The  act  of  Congress  approved  June  19,  1878,  provided  for 
the  issue  of  a  drawback  certificate  for  the  amount  of  the  erroneous  or 
excessive  charge,  but  as  the  Commissioners  of  the  District  of  Columbia, 
by  their  decision  dated  September  10,  1880,  declined  to  entertain  the 
question  of  accrued  interest  upon  the  amount  of  such  reduction  the 
holders  of  the  lien  certificates  have  refused  to  accept.  Appendix  4  is 
a  detailed  statement  of  such  lien  certificates  as  affected  by  the  revision 
of  the  assessments  upon  which  they  were  based.

immediate  settlement  for  land  taken,  without  the  delay  incidental  to  the

The  current  work  of  this  office  is  by  no  means  inconsiderable,  and 
embraces  much  that  dors  not  appear  in  a  report  of  this  nature. 

I  cannot  injustice  to  my  clerks  close  this  report  without  bearing  tes- 
timony to  their  faithful  conduct.  They  have  worked  without  regard  to 
office  hours,  and  without  the  hope  of  fee  or  reward,  actuated  solely  by 
their  zeal  for  the  public  service. 

I  am,  gentlemen,  very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant,

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  249 


This  composition  makes  a  tough  and  still  bard  asphalt  pavement. 
The  results  of  these  analyses  have  been  weekly  submitted  to  Lieuten- 
ant Greene. 

All  the  hydraulic  cements  used  on  the  public  work  of  the  District- 
are  daily  tested  by  me  as  to  their  tensile  strength,  and  the  results  ob- 
tained are  weekly  reported  to  Lieutenants  Hoxie  and  Green  with  an 
annotation  of  the  points  where  the  cements  have  been  used. 

Hydraulic  cement,  being  one  of  the  most  important  materials  employed 
in  the  public  work  now  in  progress  in  this  District,  I  have  devoted  to  it 
a  great  deal  of  time,  both  in  accordance  with  your  orders  and  wishes 
and  for  the  purpose  of  advancing  the  manufacture  in  this  neighborhood 
of  a  hydraulic  cement  of  the  first  class,  equal  at  Mast  in  quality  with 
the  best  Hosendale  cement;  and  I  am  now  fully  confident  that  through  my 
analyses  and  the  advice  that,  accordingly,  I  have  given  to  our  neighbor- 
ing hydraulic  cement  manufacturers,  namely, of  Shepherdstown,  Kouud 
Top,  and  ( Cumberland  cements,  these  manufacturers  are  now  making  and 
furnishing  the  market  of  the  District  of  Columbia  with  hydraulic  cement 
fully  equal  to  the  well-known  Rosendale  hydraulic  cement.  The  District 
lias  not  only  derived  therefrom  the  advantage  of  a  better  quality  of  hy- 
draulic cement,  but  through  our  labors  a  competition  in  this  important 
article  has  been  created,  reducing  the  market  price  20  per  cent,  at  least. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that,  with  the  knowledge  of  the  chemical  com- 
position  of  a  limestone,  the  nature  of  the  lime  produced  therefrom  after 
calcination  can  be  easily  adjudged.  The  analysis  of  limestone  thus  pre- 
sents to  the  engineer  department  a  high  interest.  Therefore,  I  now  give 
you  the  results  of  my  analyses  and  a  succinct  idea  of  the  manner  in 
which  I  have  proceeded  in  these  analyses. 

In  the  analysis  of  limestone,  it  is  of  the  greatest  importance  to  deter- 
mine the  quantities  of  moisture,  carbonate  of  lime,  magnesia,  alumina, 
and  silica, 

PROCESS  OF  ANALYSIS. 

Ten  grams  of  the  limestone  in  small  fragments  are  calcined  in  a  plati- 
num crucible  at  white  heat  ;  the  loss  p  represents  carbonic  acid  and 
moisture. 

After  this  ten  other  grama  of  the  pulverized  stone  "are  dissolved  in 
dilute  chlorhydric  acid;  carbonate  of  lime  and  of  magnesia  and  the  me- 
tallic oxides  are  dissolved ;  the  silicate  of  alumina  and  silica  remain  un- 
touched; the  precipitate  is  received  on  a  filter,  washed  with  hot  pure 
water,  calcined,  and  weighed.  The  weight  p'  represents  anhydrous  sili- 
cate of  alumina  and  the  silica.  The  filtrate  and  washes  after  being 
mixed  are  evaporated  at  a  low  heat,  in  order  to  eliminate  the  excess  of 
hydrochloric  acid.  This  is  redissolved  in  pure  water,  and  is  put  in  a 
glass-stopped  bottle  of  a  capacity  of  2,000  grams.  This  is  filled  with 
pure  saturated  lime-water.  After  having  been  well  shaken  it  is  left 
standing,  the  oxides  of  iron,  manganese,  and  magnesia  are  precipitated: 
the  liquid  is  decanted  by  means  of  a  syphon  after  the  alkali  reaction  has 
oeen  ascertained;  the  precipitate  is  received  on  a  filter,  washed,  calcined, 
and  weighed. 

It  is  apparent  that,  if  the  weight  p'  is  subtracted  from  the  weight 
( 1{K~P)  the  diference  ( 10—^—//)  represents  the  weight  of  the  lime  CaO  : 
we  nnd  now,  by  calculation :  1st,  the  weight  of  q  of  carbonic  acid  which 
lormed  carbonate  of  lime  with  the  quantity  of  lime  found;  and,  2d,  the 
weight  of  the  same  acid  which  formed  carbonate  of  magnesia  with  the 
Precipitate  p" ,  given  by  the  lime-Avater.  The  precipitate  as  magnesia 
counted  (q+q<)  represents  thus  the  weight  of  the  carbonic  acid  contained

in  tbe  limestone.  Tims  we  have :  p-{q+<l'),  representing  H.  O :,  water 
combined  with  the  hydrosilicate  of  alumina. 

n  order  to  ascertain  the  exact  composition  ot  the  precipitate,  it  is 
necessary  to  analyze  tbe  precipitate  produced  by  the  lime-water,  which 

is  done  in  the  following  manner:  •!  , 

The  precipitate  is  dissolved  in  diluted  chlorhydric  acid,  and  an  excess 
of  ammonia  is  added ;  alumina  and  the  oxide  of  iron  alone  are  precipi- 
tated This  is  received  on  a  filter;  it  is  redissolved  m  dilute  chlorhy- 
dric acid.  To  this  solution  is  added  caustic  potash,  which  precipitates 
the  oxide  of  iron,  and  alumina  remains  dissolved;  the  oxide  ot  iron  is 
well  washed  with  hot  water,  calcined  and  weighed. 

The  alkaline  containing  the  alumina  is  sursaturated  with  chlohydnc 
acid,  and  the  alumina  is  precipitated,  the  solution  being  heated  by  car- 
bonate of  ammonia  to  separate  the  magnesia  from  the  oxide  ot  manga- 
nese; this  is  done  by  adding  snlphhydrate  of  ammonia  which  precipitates 
the  manganese  as  sulphide;  then,  after  the  separation  of  this  sulphide, 
magnesia  is  precipitated  by  phosphate  of  ammonia  as  phosphas  niag- 
nesiffi  ammouiacale.  This  precipitate  is  received  on  a  filter,  washed 
and  calcined,  and  from  the  hydrophosphate  of  magnesia  obtained  and 
weighed.  We  now  calculate  the  quantity  of  magnesia,  and,  therefrom, 
the  quantity  of  carbonate  of  magnesia  contained  in  the  limestone.

32.30  average  percentage  of  silica  and  silicate  of  alumina. 

It  lias  thus  been  shown  that  the  Shepherdstown  cement  requires  less 
silica  and  silicate  of  alumina  for  the  manufacture  of  a  strong,  slow  set- 
ting hydraulic  cement  than  for  the  Cumberland  and  Hound  Top  cement. 
This  must  be  attributed  to  the  different  percentages  of  magnesia  con- 
tained in  the  different  stones. 

Shepherdstown  cement  contains  5.74  per  cent,  of  carbonate  of  mag- 
nesia. 

Cumberland  cement  contains  2  per  cent,  of  carbonate  of  magnesia. 
Round  Top  cement  contains  traces  only  of  carbonate  of  magnesia. 
Shepherdstown  cement  requires  30.37  per  cent,  of  silica  and  silicate 
of  alumina. 

Cumberland  cement  requires  32.50  per  cent,  of  silica  and  silicate  of 
alumina. 

Bound  Top  cement  requires  33.27  per  cent,  of  silica  and  silicate  of 
alumina. 

SHEPHERDSTOWN  HYDRAULIC  CEMENT. 

Upon  investigation  and  analysis  of  the  strata  from  which  this  cement 
is  made,  I  recommended  the  rejection  of  stratum  No.  4,  5  feet  thick. 
Ine  cement  manufactured  from  the  other  named  strata  will  not  set 
before  25  minutes  in  a  temperature  of  from  70°  to  8(P  Fahr.:  and  it 
may  be  classified  among  the  "cold  setting"  cements.  It  generally  gives 
good  satisfaction;  the  average  breakage  l"xl"  at  five  days  is  55 
pounds'  ^         dayS'  250  poumls>  an(l  {t  breaks  as  high  even  as  350

foot;  in  all  5  strata,  representing  19  feet  in  thickness,  and  containing  an 
average  percentage  of  33.27  of  silica  and  silicate  of  alumina. 

The  cement  manufactured  from  the  above-named  five  strata  gives  excel- 
lent results.  It  sets  slow  and  cold  in  about  twenty  minutes,  and  gives 
a  tensile  strength  which  compares  favorably  with  those  of  the  Shepherds- 
town  and  Cumberland  companies. 

CUMBERLAND  HYDRAULIC  CEMENT. 


The  quarry  of  the  Cumberland  Hydraulic  Cement  Company  is  com- 
posed of  twelve  strata,  of  which  eleven  strata  were  heretofore  used  in 
the  manufacture  of  their  hydraulic  cement,  while  the  twelfth  or  upper 
stratum  had  been  rejected  as  unfit  for  use. 

The  cement  thus  obtained  sets  hard  in  five  minutes,  and  after  being 
made  into  mortar  mixed  with  sand  it  sets  before  the  mason  can  put  it 
into  place;  at  the  second  setting  it  loses  part  of  its  hydraulic  properties. 
For  that  reason  the  use  of  this  class  of  cement  was  prohibited  in  the 
public  works  of  the  District  of  Columbia. 

In  compliance  with  your  desire  and  orders  I  investigated  the  mauu- 
facture  ot  the  Cumberland  hydraulic  cement;  and  I  learned  the  above 
facts  through  written  communications  and  verbal  explanations  made  by 
the  owners  and  the  superintendent  of  the  quarry. 

The  analysis  of  the  cement  made  from  the  eleventh  strata  and  the 
analysis  of  the  upper  stratum  calcined  show  evidences  that  these  gen- 
tlemen had  for  years  rejected  a  stone,  the  twelfth  or  upper  stratum  neces- 
sary to  make  a  slow  setting  cement. 

This  rejected  stone  having  been  properly  calcined,  pulverized,  and 
screened,  was  mixed  in  different  proportions  with  the  original  Cumber- 
land cement  made  from  the  eleventh  strata,  when  I  discovered  that  equal 
parts  of  the  rejected  stone  mixed  with  equal  parts  of  the  eleven  strata 
of  cement  produce  a  good  slow  setting  hydraulic  cement,  giving  about 
equal  results  in  tensile  strength  with  the  Shepherdstown  cement,  with 
the  difference  that  it  sets  somewhat  quicker;  yet  it  is  slow  enough  to 
be  used  in  all  public  works,  provided  the  above  formula  is  strictly 
adhered  to. 

In  conclusion  I  desire,  with  many  obligations,  to  acknowledge  the  as- 
sistance received  from  you,  greatly  facilitating  my  operations,  and  to 
remain, 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

E.  J.  DB  SMEDT, 
Chemist,  General  Inspector  of  Asphalt  Pavements. 

Maj.  William  J.  Twining,  United  States  Engineers, 

Engineer  Commissioner,  District  of  Columbia.

REPORT. 


I  have  the  hoi  or  to  present  herewith  statements  in  detail  covering  the 
operations  of  this  department  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881. 
I  trust  that  these  statements  may  give  evidence  of  substantial  progress 
in  the  right  direction.  Our  labors  in  this  branch  of  the  public  service 
have  been  put  forth  in  an  earnest  energetic  effort  to  accomplish  all  pos- 
sible good  for  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  it  affords  me  much  pleasure 
to  be  able  to  say  that  our  showing  as  to  healthfulness  is  even  better  than 
that  of  last  year.  Seventy-one  less  deaths  occurred  during  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1881,  than  during  the  year  preceding.  The  total  num- 
ber of  deaths  occurring  was  4,136,  of  which  number  2,20G  were  of  white 
persons,  and  1,031  of  colored  persons,  showing  a  death-rate  of  18.18  per 
1,000  per  annum  for  the  white,  31.27  for  the  colored,  and  22.'>0  for  the 
total  population.  Of  the  decedents  1,678  were  children  under  five  years 
of  age,  while  707  were  persons  60  years  of  age  and  over. 

There  were  3,595  births,  812  marriages,  and  363  still-births  reported. 
The  following  tabular  statement  gives,  in  a  condensed  form,  the  deaths 
by  class,  sex,  and  color,  with  percentages  and  death-rates  : 

Deaths  by  classes,  arranged  according  to  sex  and  color,  with  percentages  and  annual  death-

WASHINGTON  MALARIA. 

In  the  health  department,  probably  more  so  than  in  any  other  branch 
of  the  public  service  of  the  District  government,  are  we  compelled  to 
delay  the  commentary  portion  of  our  report ;  the  tabular  work  requi- 
site to  intelligently  illustrate  the  statistics  relating  to  births,  marriages, 
and  deaths,  and  render  them  of  some  value  to  the  statistician,  is  neces- 
sarily extensive,  and  covers  some  time  after  the  expiration  of  the  year 
which  the  report  includes.  During  the  time  of  preparation  opiestions 
may  arise  in  the  public  mind  which  demand  prompt  consideration,  and 
which  it  may  be  well  to  answer  or  discuss  promptly.  As  the  period 
intervening  between  the  date  properly  covering  this  report,  and  that  at 
which  it  is  being  prepared  for  the  public  hands,  was  a  period  during 
which  more  than  ordinary  interest  centered  upon  us,  I  think  I  may  be 
pardoned  if  I  enter  into  a  little  explanation  coupled  with  a  comparison 
relative  to  the  healthfulness  of  ours  and  other  cities  during  the  past 
few  historic  weeks. 

Washington,  its  ins  and  outs,  its  uprising  and  its  down  sitting,  its 
every  fluctuation  and  its  every  change,  is  usually  heralded  to  the  world, 
but  the  events  of  the  memorable  months  of  July,  August,  and  Septem- 
ber, 1881,  have  made  it  during  that  time,  more  than  ever,  a  cynosure 
for  all  eyes  and  a  subject  for  every  critic.  We  have  been  discussed 
latitude,  longitude,  meteorology,  topography,  and  climate.  Cur  atmos- 
phere has  been  descanted  upon  by  many  who  were  as  fully  acquainted 
with  their  subject  as  they  were  with  the  surface  of  the  earth  surround- 
ing the  north  pole.  Our  sewerage  and  drainage  has  been  discussed  pro 
and  con  by  others  just  as  well  informed.  The  mirror  has  been  held  up 
to  an  imaginary  Roman  Campagna,  or  black  hole  of  Calcutta,  and 
Washington  and  the  District  of  Columbia  pictured  as  the  reflection.  It 
would  be  useless  of  course  for  me  to  attempt  a  description  of  the  condi- 
tion of  the  public  mind  which  influenced,  called  for,  or  tolerated,  such 
senseless,  unfounded,  and  yet  startling,  vaporings  as  were  heralded  forth 
regarding  the  sanitary  condition  of  our  cities.  A  prominent  New  York 
divine,  influenced  no  doubt  by  the  daily  press  reports,  spoke  from  his 
pulpit  in  ominous  tones  of  "the  pestilential  atmosphere  surrounding 
the  abiding  place  of  our  Chief  Magistrate."  Indeed,  I  wonder  that  the 
atrocious  crime  of  July  the  2d  has  not  itself  been  charged  up  to  the 
account  of  "  Washington  malaria."  Malaria  has  been  a  fruitful  theme. 
It  has  furnished  columns  upon  columns  to  the  daily  and  weekly  press, 
giving  work  to  numerous  typos,  startling  reading  matter  to  the  general 
public,  and  has  ofttimes  proven  a  very  convenient  shelter  for  the  puzzled 
doctor.  I  think  that  most  of  the  "ills  which  human  flesh  is  heir  to" 
have  at  some  time  found  cover  beneath  its  seven  letters.    The  attempted 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  363 

definitions  of  the  term  "malaria"  are  rather  vague  and  unsatisfactory, 
and  the  manner  in  which  it  moves  and  the  dire  results  which  follow  are 
equally  strange  and  unaccountable.  Malaria  is  the  cause  of  many  ills 
in  many  forms  here  in  the  District,  or  at  least  it  is  so  accredited.  True, 
many  of  the  same  conditions  arising  from  "malaria"  here,  result  from 
entirely  different  causes  in  other  sections  of  the  country. 

When  our  lamented  President  had  been  on  his  bed  of  suffering  for 
several  days,  and  his  attendants,  earnest  and  eager  in  his  behalf,  un- 
mindful of  themselves,  had  been,  night  and  day,  watching  and  waiting 
by  his  side,  u  malaria'-  stepped  in  and  took  hold  of  them,  one  by  one — 
something  it  had  never  done  before. 

One  of  our  authorities,  in  attempting  to  define  or  describe  malaria, 
says  :  "It  is  proved  by  the  experience  of  all  ages  that  there  is  an  inti- 
mate connection  between  marshy  districts  and  certain  diseases,  espe- 
cially the  various  forms  of  intermittent  and  remittent  fever;  but  the  exact 
nature  of  the  noxious  agent  and  the  circumstances  upon  which  its  forma- 
tion and  extrication  depend  are,  even  at  the  present  day,  not  altogether 
established.  It  is  clearly  neither  heat  nor  moisture,  for  the  crews  of 
clean  ships,  when  cruising  in  the  tropics,  at  a  distance  from  the  land, 
are  usually  very  healthy  ;  nor  is  it  any  known  gas  extricated  from  the 
marsh,  for  the  gases  collected  by  stirring  up  marshes  (carbonic  acid, 
nitrogen,  oxygen,  and  carburetted  hydrogen)  may  be  inspired  without 
giving  rise  to  any  of  the  symptoms  resembling  those  produced  by  mala- 
ria. It  may  be  regarded  as  an  established  fact  that  the  noxious  agent 
is  a  product  of  vegetable  decomposition  accruing  under  certain  conditions 
of  heat  and  moisture." 

The  "certain  conditions"  under  which  it  takes  hold  of  its  victims  are 
as  mysterious  and  unaccountable  as  those  under  which  it  is  produced. 

If  one  of  the  President's  attendants  had  been  taken  sick  at  Elberon 
it  would  probably  have  been  from  some  disease  other  than  malaria.  No 
other  would  have  dared  try  to  usurp  malaria's  rights  at  the  White 
House  ;  malaria  has  a  monopoly  here.  Dyspepsia  has  been  termed  our 
"  national  disease."  Malaria  may  be  said  to  have  attained  a  widespread 
reputation  as  our  national  capital  disease.  If  a  man  stepped  upon  an 
orange  peel  upon  one  of  our  pavements,  and,  slipping  down,  sustained  a 
fracture  of  some  limb,  there  are  those  who,  two  weeks  later,  would  go 
to  work  to  demonstrate  to  you  the  effect  of  malaria  as  a  prime  factor  in 
that  man's  case  and  condition.  When  an  excuse  is  wanted  for  any 
abnormal  condition  of  the  human  system,  malaria  comes  up  as  naturally 
as  quinine  is  taken  down.  It  has  really  become  fashionable.  No  one 
thinks  of  suffering  from  anything  other  than  malaria.  Now,  it  is  not 
my  intention  or  desire  to  attempt  a  denial  that  the  conditions  attendant 
upon  what  is  supposed  to  be  a  malarious  atmosphere  exist  to  a  certain 
extent  in  certain  portions  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  but  what  I  do 
want  to  assert  and  proclaim  is  the  fact  that  that  prominence  and  sensa- 
tional coloring  given  to  everything  coming  from  the  national  capital 
during  the  late  exciting  period  has  given  •undue  prominence  to  this 
question  of  Washington  malaria  and  done  gross  injustice  to  the  health- 
fulness  of  our  climate. 

It  is  generally  accepted  as  a  fact  that  the  malaria  which  does  exist 
in  our  cities  arises  from  the  flats  or  marshes  on  our  river  front;  and  I 
think  all  are  persuaded  of  the  necessity  which  demands  action,  looking 
to  the  eradication  of  this  evil  from  our  midst.  At  the  same  time, 
we  know  full  well,  in  the  light  of  present,  knowledge,  that  what  are 
known  as  the  malarial  diseases  depend  not  alone  upon  the  miasma  from 
marshes  for  their  origin.    They  are  found  to  exist  in  locations  far  re-

moved  from  any  such  influence.  Filthy  streets  and  foul  gutters  in  a 
city;  the  saturation  of  the  soil  about  dwellings;  the  foul  air  from  damp, 
un ventilated  cellars;  the  accumulated  filth  from  domestic  animals;  the 
defective  drainage  of  houses;  to  all  these  sources  have  been  traced  the 
responsibility  for  just  such  an  effect  upon  the  human  system  as  is  ac- 
credited to  the  malaria  of  the  marshes.  Zymotic  diseases  are  those 
which  the  best  of  authority  teach  us  are  dependent  upon  an  impure  air. 
They  might  be  termed  filth  diseases.  Filth  of  some  kind,  whether  it  be 
the  decayed  vegetable  matter  on  a  marsh,  the  decayed  cabbage  in  a 
country  cellar,  or  the  decaying  remains  of  a  domestic  animal  on  a  city 
street,  either  render  the  air  impure;  and  the  impurities  taken  into  the 
lungs  poison  the  blood  and  produce  disease. 

Now,  the  principal  disease  attendant  upon  the  breathing  of  an  air 
rendered  impure  from  any  of  the  causes  named  are  diarrheal  diseases, 
typhoid  fever,  malarial  fevers,  scarlet  fever,  diphtheria,  and  small  pox. 
Below  is  given  a  list  of  fourteen  of  our  prominent  cities,  with  a  com- 
parative statement,  showing  the  deaths  occurring  in  each  from  the  dis- 
eases above  referred  to,  the  percentage  of  same  to  the  total  deaths,  and 
the  annual  death-rate  therefrom  for  the  very  period  when  such  a  howl 
was  made  about  Washington  malaria,  viz,  from  the  middle  of  June  to 
the  middle  of  September,  1881. 

The  figures  are  those  given  by  the  authorities  of  the  ckies  named, 
and  are  assumed  to  be  correct.

It  will  be  seen  by  an  examination  of  the  above  that  we  stand  fifth 
highest  in  our  showing  of  the  annual  death-rate  from  the  principal 
zymotic  diseases  for  the  period  named.  Those  cities  which  show  a 
higher  death-rate  are  Pittsburgh,  New  York,  Brooklyn,  and  Baltimore.

and  Boston,  Cincinnati,  and  Milwaukee  each  less  than  two  in  one  thou- 
sand below  us,  while  the  mean  annual  rate  for  the  whole  taken  together 
stands  seven-hundredths  above  the  rate  shown  for  our  cities.    In  other

words,  the  180,000  population  of  the  District  of  Columbia  during  the 
time  covered  in  this  statement  lost  1,290  of  its  number,  or  an  annual 
death-rate  of  10.22  per  1,000,  while  the  4,932,107  population  of  the  com- 
munities named  lost  38,004,  or  at  the  rate  of  10.29  per  1,000  per  annum. 
These  figures  speak  for  themselves,  and  demonstrate  very  clearly  that 
what  is  accomplished  by  "  Washington  malaria"  here,  is  rendered  pos- 
sible by  different  agencies  in  other  localities. 

We  have  no  reeking  streets  and  foul  gutters;  "our  surface  soil  and 
sub-soil  is  generally  well  drained;  our  dwellings  are  as  a  rule  wTell 
drained  and  properly  ventilated,  and  we  guard  against  accumulations 
of  filth. 

There  is  no  city  in  this  country  where  the  health  authorities  are  held 
to  such  strict  account  and  so  much  expected  of  them,  and  there  is  none 
where  so  much  has  been  accomplished  by  sanitary  reform.  With  the 
Potomac  flats  nuisance  removed  from  our  doors,  we  would  stand  par 
excellence  the  most  healthful  as  well  as  the  most  beautiful  city  in  the 
world. 

THE  INSPECTION  OF  PLUMING. 

House  drainage  and  plumbing  work  are  subjects  to  which  consider- 
able attention  has  been  given  in  the  pages  of  my  former  reports,  and  I 
think  I  may  be  pardoned  when  I  say  that  what  has  at  last  been  ac- 
complished is  a  matter  upon  which  the  people  of  this  District  are  to  be 
sincerely  congratulated.  Early  in  my  experience  as  health  officer  I 
began  to  appreciate  the  necessity  lor  applying  some  remedy  to  the  evils 
which  were  constantly  appearing  as  a  result  of  defectively  constructed 
sewers  and  "scamped"  plumbing  work.  In  my  report  for  the  year 
1878  I  called  attention  to  the  subject  under  the  head  of  "  sewer  gases 
in  dwellings,"  as  one  worthy  of  and  demanding  special  attention.  I 
said  then: 

There  should  be  employed,  under  direction  of  the  health  officer,  a  competent  person 
whose  dul  y  it  should  he  to  inspect  all  houses  in  course  of  erection  and  investigate  the 
construction  and  arrangement  of  the  sewers,  sewer  trap*,  waste  and  drain  pipes. 

It  should  be  necessary  to  have  a  certificate  as  to  the  correctness  of  the  sewers, 
sewer  traps,  and  drain  pipes  ere  the  property  could  he  inhabited,  and  any  person  fail- 
ing to  do  plumbing  work  properly,  whereby  noxious  gases  might  enter  premises,  should 
he  liable  to  line. 

I  urged  that  the  attention  of  Congress  be  called  to  the  matter,  and  in 
the  winter  of  1878  had  a  bill  u  authorizing  the  employment  of  an  in- 
spector of  plumbing  in  and  for  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  for  other 
purposes"  framed  and  presented. 

The  necessity  for  such  legislation  was  made  apparent  to  the  members 
of  the  House  Committee  on  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  they  reported 
the  bill  favorably.  It  passed  the  House  of  Representatives  in  the  early- 
part  of  1879,  but  action  could  not  be  secured  in  the  Senate  at  that  ses- 
sion of  Congress.  In  my  report  for  1871)  I  dwelt  at  length  upon  the 
subject  of  "  house  drainage,  sewer  gas,  and  defective  plumbing,"  and 
tried  to  give,  in  the  most  forcible  manner  possible,  the  reasons  why 
there  should  be  no  further  d<  lay  in  making  and  enforcing  laws  covering 
the  subject.  The  passage  of  the  bill  by  the  Senate  was  finally  secured, 
but  it  was  slightly  amended,  which,  of  course,  sent  it  back  to  the  House, 
where,  owing  to  a  press  of  other  business,  it  was  left  untouched  upon 
the  Speaker's  table.  Laborers  in  a  good  cause  should  not  be  discour- 
aged, however,  and  at  the  last  session  of  Congress  it  was  again  pre- 
sented and  finally  passed.    On  January  25,  1881,  it  received  the  ap- 


V 


3G6    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

proval  of  the  President  anil  became  a  law.  The  text  of  the  bill  was  as 
follows : 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United  States  of  America 
in  Congress  assembled,  That  there  shall  he  appointed  by  the  Commissioners  of  the  Dis- 
trict  of  Columbia  an  inspector  of  plumbing  for  said  District,  whose  duty  it  shall  be 
to  inspect  all  houses  in  course  of  erection,  and  pass  upon  the  plumbing  and  sewerage 
of  said  houses.  And  the  health  officer  of  the  District  of  Columbia  is  hereby  authorized,  un- 
der direction  of  the  Commissioners,  to  execute  and  enforce  regulations  governing  plumbing, 
house  drainage,  and  the  ventilation  of  house  sewers;  and  any  person  who  shall  neglect  or 
refuse  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  the  said  regulations  when  promulgated 
shall  be  punished  by  a  fine  of  from  twenty-five  to  two  hundred  dollars  for  each  and 
every  such  offense,  or  in  default  of  payment  of  fine  to  imprisonment  for  thirty  days. 

The  duty  imposed  upon  the  health  officer  of  executing  and  enforcing; 
regulations  was  no  light  task,  but  it  was  entered  upon  as  earnestly  as 
the  previous  work  in  the  same  direction  had  been  pursued.  After  care- 
ful study  of  the  theories  of  some  of  our  best  known  authorities  on  plumb- 
ing, sanitary  engineering,  &c,  and  comparison  with  what  our  own  ex- 
perience taught  us  must  prove  necessary  in  this  District,  an  outline  of 
regulations  was  framed.  A  copy  of  this  outline  was  sent  to  each  of  our 
leading  authorities  on  the  subject  in  this  country,  and  one  to  each  of 
the  plumbers  in  this  District. 

To  them  I  frankly  stated  that  as  we  were  among  the  pioneers  in  this 
sort  of  work  in  this  country,  and,  indeed,  as  very  little  had  been  done 
in  the  same  direction  anywhere,  we  had  not  the  experience  of  others  to 
guide  us,  and  consequently  must  rely,  to  a  great  extent,  upon  the  prac- 
tical experience  of  practical  men  in  getting  an  insight  into  what  might 
be  required  to  secure  the  proper  performance  of  such  work.  That  it 
was  the  earnest  desire  of  the  health  officer  to  do  nothing  which  would 
work  unnecessary  hardship  to  the  plumbers,  and  to  leave  nothing  un- 
done which  would  tend  to  promote  the  health  and  protect  the  lives  of 
the  people  of  this  District. 

I  asked  that  they  look  them  over  carefully,  and  that  they  point  out 
anything  which  might  be  considered  a  defect. 

In  response  I  received  much  valuable  information  and  advice,  and 
through  this  channel  desire  to  return  thanks  to  Col.  George  E.  Waring, 
James  C.  Bayles,  Charles  F.  AVingate,  Henry  C.Meyer,  Dr.  J.  S.  Bil- 
lings, many  of  the  plumbers  of  this  city,  and  others.  The  city  plumb- 
ers were  requested  to  meet  and  confer  with  the  health  officials,  and  they 
responded  promptly.  The  provisions  of  the  regulations  were,  as  a  rule, 
satisfactory  to  those  whom  they  were  intended  to  control,  and  the  lew 
points  which  met  with  objection  the  plumbers  were  asked  to  confer 
among  themselves  upon  and  suggest  such  change  as,  in  their  opinion, 
justice  demanded. 

Thus  the  first  code  of  regulations  governing  plumbing  and  house 
drainage  in  vogue  in  this  country  was  prepared  and  adopted  as  follows: 

REGULATIONS  GOVERNING  PLUMBING  HOUSE  DRAINAGE, 
AND  THE  VENTILATION  OF  HOUSE  S,EWEKS  IN  THE  DIS- 
1K1CT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

ACT  authorizing  the  employment  of  an  inspector  of  plumhing  in  and  for  the  District 

of  Columbia,  and  for  other  purposes.

performing  the  duties  in  a  manner  very  satisfactory  to  all  concerned.

AIR  SUPPLY  IN  DWELLINGS  HEATED  BY  HOT  AIR. 


As  a  subject  closely  associated  with  that  of  house  drainage,  and  a 
matter  which  has  not  hitherto  been  treated  with  that  care  which  its  im- 
portance demands,  I  desire  to  call  attention  to  the  ordinary  means  used 
in  supplying  air  in  the  heating  of  dwellings  by  means  of  furnaces  and 
"  Latrobe7'  stoves.  So  many  of  our  houses  have  stoves  and  furnaces 
defectively  constructed  in  this  respect,  that  I  trust  the  few  words 
which  follow  may  receive  careful  attention.  How  many  of  us  who 
have  Latrobe  stoves  in  dining  and  sitting  rooms,  have  become  familiar, 
in  our  sleeping-rooms  above,  with  the  odor  from  one  or  the  other 
of  the  rooms  below.  How  many  occupants  of  rooms  in  boarding-houses 
have  come  to  readily  diagnose  the  complexion  of  the  coming  break- 
fast by  turning  on  the  register  in  their  bed-rooms.  How  often  have 
many  of  us  learned  in  the  room  above,  supplied  from  Latrobe  in  office 
or  sitting-room  below,  that  a  poor  cigar  was  being  burned  by  some 
smoker  in  the  apartment  last  mentioned.  These  I  give  as  common 
illustrations  of  the  channels  through  which  impure  air  may  be  brought 


\

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  371 

to  our  living  and  sleeping -rooms.  Probably  you  will  say  that  the  odors 
arising  from  beefsteak,  coffee,  and  cigars  would  not  be  liable  to  prove 
detrimental  to  health,  and  I  grant  you  the  point  is  well  taken.  This, 
however,  is  not  the  question.  There  is  any  quantity  of  free  pure 
air  all  around  us,  and  there  is  no  necessity  for  breathing  that  which 
has  been  once  breathed  by  the  cook,  which  has  passed  over  the  viands 
fresh  or  stale,  or  traveled  through  the  interstices  of  tobacco,  and  come 
out  with  the  smoke  of  a  cigar.  All  that  is  required  to  accomplish  the 
avoidance  of  such  conditions,  and  the  securement  of  an  adequate  supply 
of  fresh  air  to  furnaces  and  Latrobes,  is  to  see  that  there  is  a  proper  cold- 
air  duct  taken  from  some  point  out  of  doors,  and  all  means  for  the 
taking  in  of  in-door  air  excluded. 

The  importance  of  this  suggestion  should  not  be  underestimated.  In 
many  instances  in  this  and  many  other  cities,  hot-air  furnaces  are  located 
in  unventilated  cellars,  and  having  no  cold-air  duct  from  the  outside, 
the  inmates  of  the  entire  building  are  forced  to  breathe  the  air  taken  up 
from  the  cellars.  The  cellar  is  probably  made  a  receptacle  for  all  refuse 
from  the  rooms  above,  there  is  an  accumulation  of  ashes  and  filth  in  the 
corner,  an  imperfectly  drained  surface  and  a  defective  sewer  trap  to 
sewer  opening  in  the  floor,  with  other  insanitary  conditions  generating 
impurities  to  be  taken  up  by  the  ducts  of  the  furnace,  and  conveyed 
above  for  use  as  lung  food  by  the  unfortunate  and  unsuspecting  occu- 
pants. 

Instances  are  known  where  the  furnace  has  been  set  in  a  pit  in  the 
cellar  (room  not  being  given  between  floor  and  ceiling)  and  the  trenches 
about  this  pit  found  filled  with  stagnant  water,  dead  rats,  mice,  &c 
Latrobes  have  been  taken  out  and  a  hole  found  under  the  hearth,  whereby 
all  air  for  rooms  supplied  was  taken  from  a  damp  and  entirely  imvent- 
lated  cellar.  In  the  winter  season  with  all  possible  means  of  ingress 
for  cold  air  to  rooms  stopped  and  the  hot  air  being  supplied  from  such 
a  source  as  described,  can  we  wonder  that  cases  of  typhoid  and  scarlet 
fever,  diphtheria  and  other  diseases  dependent  upon  impure  air  are  de- 
veloped !  It  is  said,  and  very  truly,  too,  that  ventilation  is  wasted  when 
directed  against  any  avoidable  pollution  of  the  air.  It  is  the  wisest 
policy  to  see  that  nothing  is  taken  into  your  dwelling  by  one  channel 
which  it  may  be  necessary  to  construct  another  to  remove.  By  all 
means  acquaint  yourself  thoroughly  as  to  from  whence  comes  the  air 
you  heat  to  breathe. 

THE  ABATEMENT  OF  NUISANCES. 

The  number  and  character  of  the  nuisances  abated  by  direction  of 
this  department  during  the  year  is  exhibited  in  the  following  table 
(Table  A),  and  foots  up  20,071.  This  number  is  5,510  less  than  came 
to  our  notice  last  year,  and  the  fact  speaks  a  word  in  favor  of  our  sani- 
tary condition.

ALLEYS. 


The  condition  of  many  of  our  alleys  adds  largely  to  the  nuisance  table 
every  year,  and  I  can  only  repeat  the  recommendation  formerly  made 
of  having  the  alleys  paved  and  sewered  as  tast  as  possible.  I  take  this 
opportunity  also,  while  speaking  of  alleys,  to  indorse  the  petition  of  the 
physicians  to  the  poor,  asking  that  the  populated  alleys  be  named  and 
the  houses  therein  numbered.  Every  movement  looking  to  an  improve- 
ment of  their  condition  in  any  way  renders  the  committing  of  nuisances 
in  them  less  liable  to  occur. 


ASHES. 


Ashes  have  again  contributed  a  large  share  to  the  total  number  of 
nuisances  reported,  no  less  than  1,097  standing  accredited  to  this 
account.  Iteration  and  re-iteration  is  usually  necessary  to  secure  the 
accomplishment  of  needed  reforms,  and  I  propose  to  continue  still  fur- 
ther the  agitation  of  this  question  of  the  removal  of  ashes  from  all  dwell- 
ings at  the  public  expense.  Last  year  but  425  cases  where  ash  traps  had 
become  nuisances  were  reported,  while  this  year  the  number  has  crept 
up  to  1,097.  In  my  last  annual  report  attention  was  called  to  this  mat- 
ter in  the  following  words : 

This  is  a  subject  of  no  small  importance,  and  one  upon  which  I  think  action  has 
been  too  long  delayed.  No  provision  is  made  for  the  removal  of  ashes  by  the  authori- 
ties, and  as  a  consequence  large  accumulations  are  found  in  alleys,  yards,  and  vacant 
spaces  over  the  entire  area  of  the  two  cities.  These  accumulations  of  ashes  become 
also  a  place  of  deposit  for  filth  and  refuse  of  all  kinds,  and  entice  the  creating  and 
maintaining  of  numberless  nuisances.  On  a  majority  of  premises  in  Washington 
and  Georgetown  you  will  find  in  cellar,  area,  or  yard  such  an  accumulation.  In  some 
cases  it  is  kept  in  box  or  barrel,  in  others  it  is  dumped  on  the  ground  or  pavement  in 
one  corner  of  the  yard.  To  it  is  added  daily  some  portion  of  refuse,  animal  or  vege- 
table, potato-parings,  egg-shells,  dish-water,  and  other  refuse.  If  in  the  cellar,  which 
you  will  nnd  in  many  instances  is  the  case,  the  foul  odors  and  noxious  gases  emanat- 
ing therefrom  permeate  the  entire  house,  and  their  constant  inhalation  by  the  inmates 
results  in  some  form  of  low  fever,  which  no  one  can  account  for,  and  which  is  accord- 
ingly set  down,  in  case  of  death  therefrom,  as  a  visitation  of  Divine  Providence.  The 
ash  of  wood  or  coal  is  not  set  down  in  the  category  of  nuisances,  and  taken  alone 
tliere  is  nothing  in  either  to  prove  injurious  to  health,  but,  as  I  said  before,  the  accu- 
mulation invites  deposits  of  animal  and  vegetable  matter,  and  these  decavin^  do  cre- 
ate a  nuisance,  and  one  Avhich,  if  within  a  building  used  as  a  dwelling/ is  liable  to 
prove  injurious  to  the  health  of  the  inmates. 

I  think,  therefore,  it  would  be  a  wise  measure  for  the  authorities  to  take  steps  look- 
ing to  the  regular  removal  of  ashes  from  dwellings.  This  is  a  work  performed  in  many 
cities,  and  one  which  I  think  could  be  inaugurated  and  successfully  conducted  here 
at  uo  very  great  expense. 


374    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

I  would  earnestly  recommend  that  an  appropriation  be  asked  of  Con- 
gress at  the  coming  session  to  meet  the  requirements  of  such  a  service. 

DEFECTIVE  DRAINAGE  AND  HOUSE  SEWERS. 

The  good  work  of  bettering  the  drainage  of  yards  and  enforcement  of 
house  connection  where  sewers  are  available  is  being  pushed  forward 
with  due  energy.  During  the  year  570  defects  in  drainage  have  been 
remedied  and  115  connections  with  sewers  made,  upon  notice  from  this 
department. 

SOAP  FACTORIES. 

This  item,  so  suggestive  of  appropriateness  in  the  category  of  nuis- 
ances, bids  fair  to  disappear  entirely  from  our  list.  The  figure  one 
covers  the  year's  work  in  this  line,  and  no  farther  trouble  from  soap  fac- 
tories is  apprehended.  The  question  as  to  authority  of  the  health  de- 
partment to  abate  nuisances  of  this  character  was  finally  decided  when 
the  legalization  of  the  health  ordinances  by  Congress  took  place,  and 
the  perpretrations  of  nuisances  of  that  class  have  yielded  submission. 

GARBAGE. 

The  question  of  the  removal  of  garbage  is  not  new.  All  are  acquainted 
with  the  trouble,  continued  from  year  to  year,  and  the  numerous  contracts 
annulled.  We  have  been  hoping  against  hope  for  better  things  in  this 
line.  We  have  been  promised  by  contractors  and  have  promised  the 
people  in  return.  How  these  promises  resulted  is  known  to  the  public. 
Xow,  however,  we  have  better  reason  to  hope;  my  recommendation  of 
last  year,  that  a  sum  sufficient  to  secure  a  proper  performance  of  the 
work  of  removing  garbage  be  asked,  was  acted  upon,  and  the  present 
contractor  is  receiving  an  advance  of  one-third  on  the  former  price  for 
the  same  labor.  The  outlook  now,  it  affords  me  much  gratification  to 
say,  is  that  the  trouble  has  been  effectually  remedied. 

The  following  table  shows  amount  of  offal  collected  and  removed  dur- 
ing the  year:

HOUSE  NUISANCES. 


AVhen  we  come  to  consider  the  question  of  house  nuisances,  the  urgent 
demand  for  legalization  of  sections  7  and  9  of  the  ordinances  (passed 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  375 


over  for  some  reason  at  the  time  action  was  taken  by  the  Senate)  pre- 
sents itself.  Section  9,  which  applies  specially  to  houses  and  house  nuis- 
ances, reads  as  follows : 

Sec.  9.  Tb.it  any  dwelling-house  or  building  wherein  people  live,  congregate,  or 
assemble,  whicb  is  deficient  in  ventilation,  drainage,  or  otber  provision  essential  to 
health,  which  has  a  leaky  roof  or  is  below  grade,  so  as  to  render  the  walls  thereof 
damp  and  the  rooms  unhealthy,  or  is  decayed  or  filthy,  and  premises  which  are  filthy 
and  offensive,  are  hereby  declared  nuisances  injurious  to  health;  and  any  person  who 
shall  create  or  maintain  such  nuisance,  and  who  shall  fail,  after  due  notice  from  this 
board,  to  abate  the  same,  shall,  upon  conviction,  be  fined  not  less  than  five  nor  more 
than  fifty  dollars  for  every  such  offense. 

Kow,  it  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  table  that  during  the  year  160 
houses  have  been  found  in  filthy  condition,  while  129  were  in  such  con- 
dition as  to  be  pronounced  u  unfit  for  human  habitation."  The  import- 
ance of  having  a  law  to  govern  such  cases  certainly  will  not  be  ques- 
tioned in  this  enlightened  age.  I  have  often  wondered  what  could  have 
been  the  influence  which  led  to  the  striking  of  the  two  sections  named 
from  the  list,  when  the  ordinances  were  legalized.  I  cannot  imagine 
that  such  a  body  as  the  United  States  Senate  desired  to  legislate  in 
the  interest  of  penurious  landlords  who  would  have  tenants  live  in 
houses  the  sanitary  condition  of  which  would  endanger  the  health  and 
lives  of  the  occupants,  and  yet,  at  the  same  time,  I  cannot  think  that 
what  is  supposed  to  be  the  body  representing  the  intelligence  of  our 
land,  in  its  highest  order,  failed  to  appreciate  the  necessity  for  placing 
such  a  law  upon  the  statute  books. 

The  same  argument  applies  to  the  action  taken  on  section  7,  which 
relates  to  stagnant  water  on  lots.  This  section  was  also  stricken  out 
when  the  resolution  legalizing  the  ordinances  was  passed.  It  reads  as 
follows: 

Sec.  7.  That  stagnant  water  upon  any  ground  or  lot  within  the  cities  of  Washing- 
ton or  Georgetown  or  the  more  densely  populated  suburbs  of  said  cities,  and  any 
marshy  land,  the  same  being  made  such  by  defective  drainage  or  otherwise,  are  hereby 
declared  nuisances  injurious  to  health;  and  any  person  causing,  creating,  or  main- 
taining such  nuisance  who  shall,  after  due  notice  from  this  board,  refuse  or  neglect  to 
abate  the  same  shall,  upon  conviction,  be  fined  not  less  than  ten  nor  more  than  one 
hundred  dollars  for  every  such  offense. 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  the  labor  in  this  direction  has  been 
so  seriously  embarrassed  by  the  action  referred  to.  It  would  scarcely 
seem  necessary  to  argue  in  favor  of  the  importance  of  preserving  a  well- 
drained  soil  and  enforcing  the  removal  of  all  stagnant  ponds;  such  action 
is  strongly  urged  by  all  authorities  upon  hygiene  and  public  health. 
We  can  only  hope  that  our  lawmakers  may  be  brought  to  see  their  mis- 
take and  not  delay  its  correction.  If  the  long-pending  u  municipal  code" 
is  not  taken  up  at  the  coming  session  of  Congress,  then  some  special 
action  should  be  had  looking  to  a  remedy  of  the  evil  resulting  from 
the  repeal  of  these  two  sections  of  these  ordinances. 

MANURE. 

"Manure  and  its  removal"  is  a  subject  which  has  been  discussed  in 
two  former  reports.  The  table  gives  evidence  of  421  cases  in  which 
nuisances  have  arisen  from  this  source,  and  doubtless  manure  has  con- 
tributed in  greater  or  less  degree  to  many  more. 

The  time  has  arrived  which  demands  the  adoption  of  means  for  the 
transfer,  through  one  channel,  of  all  offal  from  our  cities.  The  country 
around  the  District  of  Columbia  certainly  gives  evidence  of  the  want 
of  all  the  sustenance  to  her  soil  that  the  refuse  of  onr  cities  can  give

it.  Much  more  is  taken  from  the  farms  and  market  garden  lands  sur- 
rounding us  than  is  put  back.  Much  more  is  wasted  here  than  would 
give  ample  food  to  those  lands.  Victor  Hugo,  in  Les  Miserables,  gives 
a  striking  picture  of  the  waste  of  a  great  city.  The  earth,  he  says,  is 
impoverished  by  the  sea. 

Paris  [he  says]  cists  twenty-live  millions  of  francs  annually  into  the  sea,  and  this 
we  assert  without  metaphor.  *  How  so  and  in  what  way?  By  day  and  by  night.  To 
what  object?  For  no  object.  With  what  thought?  Without  thinking.  What  to 
do?  Nothing.  By  means  of  what  organ f  Its  intestines.  What  are  its  intestines  ? 
Its  sewers.  Twenty-five  millions  are  the  most  moderate  of  the  approximative 
amounts  given  by  estimates  of  modern  science.  *  *  *  Science,  after  groping  for 
a  long  time,  knows  now  that  the  most  fertilizing  and  effective  of  manure  is  human 
manure.  The  Chinese,  let  us  say  it  to  our  shame,  knew  this  before  we  did.  Not  a 
Chinese  peasant  who  goes  to  the  city  hut  brings  at  either  end  of  his  bamboo  a  bucket 
of  what  we  call  tilth.  *  *  *  Thanks  to  the  human  manure  the  soil  iu  China  is 
still  as  youthful  as  in  the  days  of  Abraham,  and  Chinese  wheat  yields  just  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty  fold  the  sowing.  There  is  no  guano  comparable  in  fertility  to  the 
detritus  of  a  capital,  and  a  large  city  is  the  most  important  of  dungnuxous.  *  *  * 
To  employ  the  town  in  manuring  the  plain  would  be  certain  success,  for  if  gold  be 
dross,  on  the  other  hand  our  dross  is  gold. 

What  is  done  with  this  golden  dung?  It  is  swept  into  the  gulf.  We  send  at  great 
expense  fleets  of  ships  to  collect  at  the  southern  pole  the  droppings  of  petrels  and 
penguins,  and  cast  into  the  sea  the  incalculable  element  of  wealth  which  we  have 
under  our  hand.  *  *  *  All  the  human  and  animal  manure  which  the  world  loses 
if  returned  to  the  lan/l  instead  of  being  thrown  into  the  sea  would  suffice  to  nourish 
the  world.  *  *  #  Do  you  know  what  those  piles  of  ordure  are  collected  at  the 
corners  of  streets,  those  carts  of  mud  carried  off  at  night  from  the  streets,  the  fright- 
ful barrels  of  the  night-man,  and  the  fetid  streams  of  mud  which  the  pavement  con- 
ceals from  you?  All  this  is  a  flowering  field;  it  is  green  grass  ;  it  is  mint  and  thyme 
and  sage ;  it  is  game ;  it  is  cattle  ;  it  is  the  satisfied  lowing  of  huge  oxen  at  evening ; 
it  is  perfumed  hay  ;  it  is  golden  wheat ;  it  is  bread  on  your  table  ;  it  is  warm  blood 
in  your  veins;  it  is  health;  it  is  joy ;  it  is  life.  *  *  *  So  desires  that  mysterious 
creation,  which  is  transformation  upon  earth  and  transfiguration  in  heaven.  Restore 
this  to  the  great  crucible,  and  your  abundance  will  issue  from  it,  for  the  nutrition  of 
the  plains  produces  the  nourishment  of  men.  You  are  at  liberty  to  lose  this  wealth 
and  consider  me  ridiculous  into  the  bargain.  This  would  be  the  masterpiece  of  your 
ignorance.  *  *  *  Each  eructation  of  your  drains  costs  us  one  thousand  francs, 
and  this  has  two  results — the  earth  impoverished  and  the  water  poisoned ;  hunger 
issuing  from  the  furrow  and  disease  from  the  river.  These  surprising  follies  are  not 
new ;  it  is  no  youthful  nonsense.  Imitate  Paris  and  you  will  ruin  yourself.  More- 
over, Paris  imitates  itself,  particularly  in  this  immemorial  and  insensate  squandering. 
•  *  #  "The  drains  of  Rome,"  says  Liebig,  "absorbed  the  entire  welfare  of  the 
Roman  peasant."  When  the  Campagna  of  Rome  was  ruined  by  the  Roman  drains 
Rome  exhausted  Italy,  aud  when  it  had  placed  Italy  in  its  cloaca  it  poured  into  it 
Sicily,  and  then  Sardinia,  and  then  Africa.  The  drains  of  Rome  swallowed  up  the 
world,  and  this  cloaca  afforded  its  tunnels  to  the  citv  and  the  world.  Urbi  et  Orbi. 
Eternal  city,  unfathomable  sewer. 

This  argument  applies  alike  to  the  waste  of  the  other  offal  of  great 
cities  as  well  as  to  that  carried  off  by  its  sewers,  and  it  applies  to  Wash- 
ington as  well  as  Paris.  The  day  is  coming  when  our  sewage  must  be 
preserved,  and  all  that  is  iu  it  to  nourish  the  land  taken  out  and 
returned  to  our  fields. 

Like  the  Roman  cloaca,  which  absorbed  the  richness  of  its  own  land 
and  then  gulped  down  Sicily,  Sardinia,  and  Africa,  so  have  the  sewers 
in  the  older  cities  of  this  our  new  world  absorbed  the  sustenance  of 
many  fields  and  farms  in  the  older  States  without  returning  anything, 
and  then  sent  the  sons  of  those  who  once  tilled  a  rich,  fertile  soil,  off'  to 
he  great  West  to  open  new  veins  for  their  vampire  mouths.  It  is  time 
that  we  were  learning  something  from  China  in  the  preservation  of  our 
soil.  It  is  nothing  new  to  hear  of  "  played-out n  farms  in  Maryland  and 
Virginia,  and  there  is  no  reason  why  all  the  wealth  of  manure  which  is 
now  wasted  in  the  capital  should  not  be  applied  to  those  "  played-out" 
farms  and  set  them  to  again  putting  "  bread  on  our  tables  and  warm 
blood  in  our  veins." 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  377 

Perhaps  the  day  of  irrigating  farms  for  the  preservation  and  utiliza- 
tion of  our  sewage  has  not  yet  arrived,  but  the  day  and  hour  is  here 
which  speaks  loudly  the  demand  for  utilization  of  all  other  offal  from 
our  cities.  We  should  have  one  point  for  the  receipt  of  all  refuse,  and 
the  law  should  require  that  it  be  there  taken  and  deposited  at  regular 
stated  periods  from  all  dwellings  and  places  where  it  accumulates.  The 
authorities  themselves  should  take  charge  of  this  material,  which  should 
include  offal  and  filth  of  all  kinds,  and  they  should  put  it  in  condition 
to  again  be  placed  upon  the  fields  and  farms.  Let  us  begin  by  purchas- 
ing a  farm  of  our  own  and  enriching  that.  A  farm  of  a  few  hundred 
acres  at  some  convenient  point  could  soon  be  made  a  source  of  profit  to 
the  District.    By  all  means  let  us  have  an  offal  depot  and  a  city  farm. 

SEWER-TRAPS  OR  CATCH-BASINS. 

Iteration  again  becomes  necessary  in  referring  to  the  subject  of 
the  cleaning  of  our  sewer-traps  or  catch -basins  at  street  corners.  The 
very  dry  weather  prevailing  during  the^  summer  and  fall  of  the  past 
year  has  rendered  these  receptacles  for  the  sediment  of  our  street  wash- 
ings more  than  usually  offensive,  and  added  (if  it  were  necessary)  addi- 
tional evidence  of  the  demand  lor  some  more  approved  method  of  clean- 
ing. The  work  of  cleaning  these  places  is  performed  under  direction 
of  the  Engineer  Department,  and  I  can  of  course  but  advise  respecting 
the  manner  in  which  it  should  be  done.  Nuisances  to  the  number  of 
234,  resulting  from  the  foul  and  offensive  condition  of  sewer-traps,  were 
reported  during  the  year.  To  quote  my  former  words  on  this  subject : 

It  does  seem  strange  that,  with  the  advance  of  improvements  in  almost  every 
branch  of  public  work,  the  present  system  of  cleaning  sewer- traps,  corresponding  to 
the  ancient  method  of  cleaning  our  cobble-stone  streets  with  hoes  and  shovels,  and  the 
privy -boxes  with  buckets,  should  still  remain.  It  certainly  looks,  to  say  the  least, 
out  of  keeping  with  other  things  to  see  three  or  four  men  with  hooks  and  buckets 
dipping  the  foul  accumulations  from  one  of  these  receptacles,  depositing  the  mass  on 
the  pavement,  and  then  dragging  it  off  through  the  street  in  open  carts,  to  offend  the 
nostrils  of  every  passer-by.  If  some  pueumatic  process  cannot  be  brought  into  use  to 
abate  this  nuisance,  then,  during  the  summer  mouths,  disinfectants  should  be  used, 
and  closed  receptacles  employed  in  transporting  the  material. 

The  present  method  is  clearly  in  violation  of  section  2  of  the  Health 
Ordinances. 

FOOD  INSPECTION. 

The  following  table  (Table  C)  will  show  the  nature  and  amount  of 
food  condemned  as  unwholesome  during  the  year.  Much  has  been  ac- 
complished in  this  direction  during  the  past  few  years,  but  much  remains 
yet  to  be  done  which  can  only  be  reached  through  the  inspection  of  live 
stock  and  the  establishment  of  an  abattoir. 

A  well-known  German  authority,  in  speaking  of  the  subject,*  says : 

The  necessity  can  no  longer  be  disputed.  This  arises,  first,  from  the  possibility  of 
the  infection  of  meat  used  for  human  food;  and,  secondly,  the  butchers  have  not'the 
necessary  knowledge,  and  much  less  the  good  will,  to  cousider  the  health  of  the  people 
against  a  possible  increase  of  profits.  Butchers,  as  a  rule,  do  not  believe  in  the  danger 
from  diseased  meat,  and  therefore  cannot  be  convinced  of  what  is  so  clear  to  us. 

The  compulsory  slaughtering  in  public  abattoirs  offers  other  advantages,  which  in 
themselves  are  sufficient  to  make  it  desirable  : 

(1.)  It  will  put  an  end  to  the  driving  of  cattle  through  the  sfreets  of  our  larger  cities. — 
This  inconvenience  is  overcome  in  Berlin,  where,  according  to  the  street  regulations, 
cattle  moved  in  the  day-time  must  be  transported  in  closed  wagons. 

(2. )  Prevention  of  cruelty  in  butchering. — It  is  not  necessary  to  prove  how  much  cruelty 
mag  be  practiced  in  the  slaughter  of  animals.    In  private  slaughter-houses  it  is  not 

*  u  Trichina?  and  Trichonosis;  "  Glazier. 


378    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


seldom  in  consequence  of  insufficient  room,  deficient  arrangements  for  holding  the 
victim  firmly,  and  especially  in  consequence  of  lack  of  firmness  in  handling  the  instru- 
ment of  death,  which  can  alter  the  best  methods  of  killing  animals  to  a  system  of  tor- 
ture. In  the  large  abattoirs  the  work  is  divided ;  every  man  attains  the  greatest  possi- 
ble dexterity  in  his  particular  work,  and  thus  only  can  the  greatest  possible  certainty 
of  rapid  death  be  secured.  The  international  congress  for  the  prevention  of  cruelty  to 
animals,  held  in  Zurich  in  1869,  saw  correctly  in  the  erection  of  abattoirs  an  effective 
expedient  to  prevent  unnecessary  pain  to  animals. 

(3.)  Greater  cleanliness  on  account  of  the  more  judicious  arrangements  and  cleansing  with 
water. — The  most  careful  cleanliness  in  private  slaughter-houses  cannot  compete  with 
the  properly  arranged  abattoirs,  because  the  space,  especially  in  the  larger  cities,  is 
always  very  limited,  but  even  in  ordinary  cases  is  generally  insufficient,  and  filth  is 
the  rule,  and  it  only  exceptionally  occurs  that  the  accumulations  do  not  become  un- 
bearable. In  public  slaughter-houses  the  care  for  the  best  possible  state  of  cleanliness 
is  increased  by  its  publicity. 

(4. )  With  the  closing  of  private  slaughter-houses  in  cities  ahunclant  sources  of  air-poisoning 
are  removed. — Those  living  in  the  vicinity  of  slaughter-houses  know  best  how  often  iii 
summer  the  air  becomes  foul,  particularly  near  open  water-courses.  The  question  here 
not  only  concerns  the  foulness  and  unpleasantness  of  the  air,  but  from  the  putrefaction 
of  blood  very  often  arise  peculiarly  dangerous  substances,  which  are  directly  infectious, 
and  therefore  in  densely  populated  cities  the  greatest  care  should  be  taken  to  prevent 
such  decomposition. 

*  *  *  1       *  *  #  « 

(5.)  Heal  progress  in  the  control  and  extermination  of  infectious  and  contagious  diseases 
among  domestic  animals  — It  is  a  fact  that  the  public  'in  general  is  inclined  to  hide  con- 
tagious diseases,  and  on  this  account  it  is  very  difficult  to  check  and  especially  to 
exterminate  them.  Obligatory  inspections  of  slaughtering  are  by  far  the  surest  means 
of  accomplishing  this  end.  The  discovery  of  contagious  diseases  in  the  abattoirs  is  so 
important,  fortius  reason  alone  the  compulsory  use  of  the  public  building  should  be 
inaugurated  in  every  city.  When  the  enormity  of  the  danger  to  the  public  health  on 
account  of  the  diseases  of  our  domestic  animals  in  the  present  condition  of  commercial 
intercourse  is  considered,  and  when  it  is  seen  that  we  can  seldom  prevent  their  intro- 
duction by  isolation,  but  that  our  efforts  must  be  directed  to  a  rapid  destruction— that 
we  can  do  little  to  prevent  but  must  act  to  repress— it  may  be  safely  said  that  a  suc- 
cessful exercise  of  the  duties  of  the  veterinary  police  without  legal  control  of  the 
slaughter-houses  can  by  no  means  be  accomplished. 

With  all  these  great  advantages  to  the  states  and  the  cities  the  butchers  will  lose 
nothing.  On  the  contrary  they  have  the  greater  advantage  in  the  expenses;  that 
butchering  together  is  handier  and  cheaper,  and  the  scraps  and  offal  can  be  more 
readily  utilized.  In  former  times  the  slaughter-houses,  as  the  bakeries,  Avere  erected 
solely  for  the  profit  to  the  trade.  No  supervision  was  necessary  in  those  days.  The 
butchers  know  this  very  well,  and  when  they  (as  in  North  Germany)  nevertheless 
SRB086,*-  °Wigatory  use  of  public  slaughter-houses  by  bringing  forward  all  possible 
aitnculties  and  the  cost,  they  must  have  some  ulterior' object,  which  probably  is  that 
tbey  do  not  wish  to  be  interfered  with  in  their  business,  which  indicates  still  more  the 
necessity  of  supervision.  The  profits  made  must  certainly  be  great  when  the  butchers 
reject  the  very  apparent  advantages  and  conveniences  of  public  slaughter-houses. 

It  may  thus  be  seen  that  in  the  most  cultivated  cities  in  Europe  the  necessity  of 
compulsory  use  of  public  abattoirs  has  become  apparent,  but  it  seems  inexplicable 
that  such  measures  have  not  succeeded  in  North  Germany,  where  the  consumption  of 
meat  is  greatest,  and  where  pork  and  beef  are  often  eaten  in  a  raw  or  half-cooked 
condition,  and  where  therefore  the  danger  of  infection  is  much  greater  than  in  other

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  381 
THE  INSPECTION  OF  MARINE  PRODUCTS. 

Congress  at  its  last  session  was  convinced  of  the  necessity  for  provid- 
ing an  inspector  of  marine  products,  and  we  were  enabled  to  dispense 
with  the  services  of  Officer  J.  R.  Sutton,  who  had  been  detailed  to  per- 
form this  duty. 

Mr.  Gwynn  Ilarris  was  appointed  as  inspector  on  July  1,  and  has 
proven  himself  a  very  capable  and  efficient  officer.  The  following  tabu- 
lar statement  (Table  E)  exhibits  work  done  in  this  branch  of  the  service 
during  the  year:

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  3S°x7 


SANITARY  SURVEY  BY  SQUARES. 

It  affords  me  much  pleasure  to  be  able  to  present  the  following  report 
in  detail  showing  the  condition  of  eacli  square  in  the  two  cities.  The 
data  here  collected  and  exhibited  will  prove  of  much  value  to  the  stu- 
dent or  statistician  inquiring  into  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  District 
of  Columbia.  The  labor  involved  in  collecting  this  information  was 
performed  by  the  corps  of  sanitary  inspectors  during  the  winter  months 
of  1880-'S1.  Each  square  is  given  by  number,  and  a  glance  gives  you 
the  number  and  kind  of  houses  thereon,  those  premises  having  houses 
and  yards  sewered,  the  number  of  water-closets,  privy-boxes,  yards 
paved,  slaughter-houses,  cow  stables  or  yards,  and  hog-pens.  In  a  com- 
parative position  are  given  the  deaths  occurring  on  each  square  during 
the  year,  divided  according  to  color,  together  with  a  separate  statement 
of  deaths  from  the  principal  zymotic  diseases.  Taking  this  information 
in  connection  with  that  given  in  the  "report  of  sanitary  survey"  in  my 
last  annual  report,  I  think  that  they  form  the  most  full,  complete,  and 
concise  sanitary  history  yet  given  of  any  city  in  this  country. 

By  referring  to  the  totals  we  find  that  there  are  30,474  houses  in  the 
two  cities,  15,541)  brick,  and  14,925  frame  ;  of  this  number  10,066  are 
sewered;  13,672  have  yards  sewered.  There  are  14,114  water-closets, 
and  16,492  yards  paved.  The  privy-boxes  number  15,886;  there  are  369 
row-yards  or  cow-stables,  17  slaughter  houses,  and  11  hog-pens  within 
the  boundary  lines. 

A  large  addition  to  the  value  of  the  report  would  have  been  made  by 
securing  the  population  of  each  square,  but  our  limited  time  and  force 
would  not  admit  of  the  attempt  at  taking  such  a  census.  The  average 
number  of  occupants  to  each  house,  according  to  census  of  1880,  is  5.25. 

Of  the  total  number  of  squares,  179  were  found  defective  in  drainage; 
39  below  grade;  32  having  alley  in  insanitary  condition;  19  containing 
stagnant  water,  and  37  having  houses  in  insanitary  condition. 

According  to  the  assessors'  census  of  1878,  the  houses  within  the 
limits  of  the  two  cities  at  that  time  numbered  25,656.  According  to 
this  showing  our  buildings  have  increased  4,818  during  the  past  three 
years.

INVESTIGATIONS  TO  ASCERTAIN  LOCAL  CAUSE  OF  DISEASE. 

The  force  at  the  disposal  of  the  health  officer  has  never  been  sufficient 
to  warrant  the  comprehensive  research,  study,  and  investigation  which 
the  importance  of  this  subject  demands.  Notwithstanding  the  enlight- 
ened and  advanced  condition  of  the  public  mind  and  the  general  rec- 
ognition of  the  importance  of  every  measure  in  the  interest  of  the  pub 
lie  health,  our  legislators  are  yet  slow  to  provide  in  the  appropriation 
bills  the  means  for  employment  of  adequate  and  competent  skill  in  fer- 
reting out  and  placing  before  the  public  all  possible  information  which 
might  tend  to  prevent  the  rise  and  spread  of  infectious  or  contagious 
diseases.  In  consequence  of  this  limited  means  and  force  we  have  not 
been  able  to  give  time  to  proper  investigation  in  the  effort  to  ascertain 
the  local  cause,  if  such  existed,  in  cases  of  death  from  zymotic  disease. 
The  subject  is  a  broad  one  and  the  field  it  opens  affords  opportunity  for 
extended  illustration,  by  fa  (it  and  figure,  which  would  prove  of  great 
interest  and  value.  The  following  report  of  the  medical  sanitary  in- 
spector gives  information  as  to  examination  in  124  cases;  85  of  diph- 
theria, L'7  of  typhoid  fever,  and  12  of  scarlet  lever.  The  information  is 
not  so  lull  and  complete  as  we  could  desire,  only  three  diseases  being 
given,  and  the  facts  in  no  particular  case  illustrated.  The  causes  before 
mentioned  must  be  our  excuse  for  this,  and  1  trust  some  information 
may  be  gleaned  from  the  following  report. 

Success  attended  our  efforts  in  the  only  case  where  we  were  called 
upon  to  prevent  the  spread  of  small  pox  during  the  year.

412     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


Tt  will  be  seen  by  this  that  there  is  a  closer  relation  between  diph- 
theria and  croup  than  between  either  of  them  and  scarlet  fever;  this  is 
shown  in  all  the  quarters  except  the  three  ending  December  31,  1877, 
March  31,  1878,  and  March  31,  1880. 

During  the  past  year  there  has  been  a  decided  increase  of  deaths  from 
diphtheria,  but  there  has  been  also  a  decided  decrease  of  deaths  from 
other  diseases,  typhoid  and  scarlet  fevers  included.  The  general  health- 
fulness  of  any  place  should  be  determined  by  the  rate  of  the  total  mor- 
tality, and  not  on  account  of  an  unusually  large  or  small  number  of 
deaths  the  causes  of  which  may  be  classed  under  one  or  more  names. 
By  selecting  one  or  more  causes  of  death  for  comparison,  any  place  may 
prove  itself  the  healthiest  locality  in  the  country. 

I  would  renew  this  year  the  recommendations  made  in  my  report  to 
'  you  last  year,  regarding  a  thorough  topographical  and  geological  survey 
<)f  the  District,  &c,  and  in  addition  would  suggest  that  some  measure 
be  taken  by  which  we  could  ascertain  the  depth  of  "the  ground  water/7 
Wells  might  be  sunk  for  this  purpose  in  different  portions  of  the  city, 
or  possibly  some  of  the  present  wells  could  be  used  for  the  purpose. 
This  process  of  investigation  would  certainly  remove  some  of  the  doubts 
in  the  minds  of  the  people  as  to  the  relation  of  damp  soil  to  phthisis, 
diarrhceal  diseases,  and  how  many  more  we  cannot  tell.  Wells  used 
for  this  purpose  might  be  "driven"  and  no  water  should  be  allowed  to 
be  taken  from  them.  The  cost  for  this  investigation  would  be  but  slight 
compared  with  the  probable  good  to  be  obtained  by  it.  1  would  also 
recommend  that  investigations  be  made  for  the  purpose  of  helping  on 
the  discoveries  in  regard  to  disease  germs,  their  culture,  and  their  modi- 
fied effects  upon  the  system  when  so  cultured.  M.  Pasteur,  M.  Chau- 
veau,  Dr.  Farr,  Prof.  Burdon  Sanderson,  M.  Toussaint,  Kelbs,  and 
Tommasi-Crudeli,  and  George  M.  Sternberg,  surgeon,  United  States 
Army,  are,  with  many  others,  working  out  results  of  the  greatest  mo- 
ment to  mankind  in  this  direction.  Undoubtedly  some  of  these  investi- 
gators will  yet  discover  the  remedy  by  which  scarlet  fever,  diphtheria, 
and  perhaps  typhoid  fever  may  be  rendered  as  harmless  as  small-pox 
by  vaccination.  No  better  place  than  Washington  could  be  selected 
for  the  purpose  of  these  investigations,  and  I  hope  you  will  give  this 
subject  such  consideration  as  you  think  it  deserves. 

In  my  last  report  to  you  will  be  found  the  following: 

Physicians  even  of  but  limited  practice  have  known  cases  where  on  no  basis  of 
known  facts  could  the  germ  (if  there  is  such  a  thing)  of  scarlet  fever  l»e  traced.  A 
theory  may  be  a  very  plausible  and  valuable  help  in  explaining  occult  matters,  but 
it  takes  more  than  its  continued  iteration  to  make  the  theory  an  established  or  ac- 
cepted fact.* 

I  have  to  confess  that  the  grand  result  of  M.  Pasteur's  work,  in  dis- 
covering means  of  completely  protecting,  sheep,  cattle,  and  horses  from 
the  scourge  of  u  splenic  fever1'  or  "charbon"  by  vaccinating  them  with 
the  "cultured"  anthrax  bacillus,  the  very  germ  that  in  its  natural  state 
produces  this  disease,  causing  such  terrible  ravages  among  them,  has 
cleared  away  from  my  mind  much  of  the  mist  and  doubt  that  had  settled 
down  upon  the  "germ  theory"  of  disease. 

With  such  a  result  before  us,  the  question  arises,  Why  may  not  this 
be  done  for  all  germ  diseases?  I  believe  it  will  be;  ami  that  Ave  shall 
yet  be  able  to  protect  our  children  from  the  scourge  of  scarlet  fever, 
diphtheria,  &c,  as  we  are  now  from  small-pox;  possibly  consumption

VITAL  STATISTICS. 

The  population  of  the  District  of  Columbia  on  June  .'50,  1881,  is  esti- 
mated at  183,060  (white,  121,300;  colored,  61,760).  This  estimate  is 
reached  by  calculating  the  increase  in  same  ratio  as  that  given  by  the 
census  of  1880  for  the  ten  years  preceding.  The  percentage  of  increase 
per  annum  as  shown  by  the  census  is  at  the  rate  of  3.051};  that  of  the 
colored  population,  3.07  ;  white  population,  2.59. 

Din  ing  the  year  ending  June  30,  1881,  there  occurred  in  the  District 
of  Columbia  4,136  deaths.  Of  this  number  1,170  were  white  males; 
1,026  white  females  ;  021  colored  males,  and  1,010  colored  females  ;  show- 
ing an  annual  death-rate  of  18.18  per  1,000  per  annum  for  the  white, 
31.27  for  the  colored,  and  22.59  for  the  total  population.  The  still-births 
foot  up  370,  and  there  were  3,505  births  and  813  marriages  reported. 

The  history  of  our  mortality  during  the  six  years  ending  June  30, 
L881,  is  clearly  illustrated  in  the  following  tabular  statement  (statement 
k'A"),  and  the  exhibit  is  a  satisfactory  showing  of  our  steady  and  con- 
tinued improvement  in  healthfulness.  The  evidence  of  advance  in  the 
right  direction  is  established  by  the  record  of  annual  death-rates ;  a 
gradual  decrease  year  by  year  is  shown.  In  1870  the  rate  per  1,000  per 
annum  was  26.35 ;  for  the  past  year  but  22.50,  showing  a  decrease  of  3.70 
per  1,000.  Now  let  us  pause  for  a  moment  and  see  what  this  means. 
With  our  population  of  183,060, a  saving  of  life  at  the  rate  of  3.70  per 
1,000  means  that  (as  compared  with  the  year  1876)  the  lives  of  nearly 
700  of  our  population  were  saved  last  year.  This  is  indeed  very  satis- 
factory. 

The  colored  population  shows  a  very  marked  decrease  in  its  death- 
rate.  Prom  40.71  per  1,000  in  1S70  it  has  fallen  to  31.27  for  the  past 
year,  a  decrease  of  0.47  per  1,000.  This  tells  of  decided  improvement 
in  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  colored  population.  The  mean  annual 
death  rate  for  the  white  population  tor  these  0  years  is  18.93,  for  the  col- 
ored 36.57,  and  for  the  total  24.75.

414    REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

Statement  B,  which  follows,  gives  further  evidence  of  this  improved 
condition.  This  statement  shows  a  decrease  in  the  deaths  among  the 
infant  population,  and  also  increased  ages  of  the  decedents  For  m- 
stance,  among  the  white  males  the  percentage  ot  deaths  to  the  total  ot 
persons  5  years  of  age  and  over  has  increased  from  59.6  m  1876  to  bt 
for  the  past  year,  or  at  the  rate  of  7.4 ;  persons  20  years  of  age  and  over 
from  53  per  cent,  to  60.7.  an  increase  of  7.7  ;  persons  40  years  ot  age  ami 
over  from  35.1  per  cent,  to  43,  an  increase  of  7.i>.  Anion--  the  white 
females  5  years  of  age  and  over  the  increase  has  been  from  56.7  to  69.6, 
or  13.2  per  cent.;  persons  20  years  and  over  from  47.<>  per  cent,  to  ;>!U>, 
an  increase  of  12;  persons  40  years  and  over  from  30.4  per  cent,  to  39.4, 
an  increase  of  9.  Although  this  shows  the  greater  increase  of  percent- 
age to  be  with  the  white  females,  still  the  mean  percentage  lor  the  6 
years  to  the  total  deaths  among  this  class  for  each  of  these  periods  of 
life  is  less  than  the  same  among  the  white  males;  the  percentage  at 
each  of  these  ages  among  the  latter  being  greater  than  among  the  white 
females.    Among  the  colored  males  the  increase  of  the  percentage  to 


increase  ot  o.o.  Among  xne coioreu  icniaies  u  years  m  age  anu  uvw, 
the  increase  has  been  from  44  per  cent,  in  L866  to  52.1  for  the  past  year, 
or  8.1;  20  years  of  age  and  over  from  34.3  percent,  to  44.4,  an  increase 
of  10.1  j  40  years  of  age  and  over  from  19.2  per  cent,  to  23,  an  increase 
of  3.8. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  mean  percentages  tor  the  colored  females 
are  greater  than  for  colored  males,  and  the  percentages  of  the  total 
white  decedents  are  greater  than  those  for  the  total  colored.

Of  the  total  decedents  last  year,  53.31  per  cent,  were  white  and  4G.09

and  53.47  per  cent,  of  the  white  decedents;  the  white  females  24.81  per 
cent,  of  the  total  deaths,  and  40.53  per  cent,  of  the  white  decedents : 
the  colored  nudes  22.27  per  cent,  of  the  total  deaths,  and  47.7  per  cent 
of  the  colored  decedents;  the  colored  females  24.42  per  cent  of  the  total 
deaths,  and  52.3  per  cent,  of  the  colored  decedents. 

Table  I  exhibits  according  to  age,  color,  sex,  nativity,  by  months  and 
classes,  orders  and  specific  names,  as  well  as  annual  death  rates  per 
1,000,  a  detailed  statement  of  the  mortality  for  the  year.  Fbere  are  5 
classes  arranged  in  22  orders,  showing  271  mimes  of  specific  diseases  or 
causes  of  death;  of  the  latter,  56  are  causes  given  under  the  head  ot 
violence,  leaving  215  as  the  actual  number  of  diseases. 


I y  M  <  >Ti  c  1  n  SI.  A  S  E8. 


From  this  class  of  diseases  there  were  907  deaths,  or  21.93  per  cent, 
of  the  total  mortality:  the  greater  number,  768,  being  of  the  miasmatic 
order,  and  the  ones  usually  meant  by  the  term  "zymotic."  There  were 
"65  deaths— 128  white  and  137  colored— from  the  diarrhoea!  diseases ; 
L>r>_(s7  white  and  125  colored— being  of  children  under  five  years  of  age ; 
from  malarial  fevers  there  were  130 deaths— 58  white,  72  colored— being 
0L>  more  than  for  the  vear  preceding.  Malarial  fevers,  and  also  typhoid, 
have  been  more  than*  usually  prevalent  throughout  the  whole  country; 
and  probably  the  percentage  of  increase  is  not  much,  if  any,  greater 
here  than  in  other  places.  Diphtheria  caused  124  deaths— KM!  white,  IS 
colored— being  1)5  more  than  for  the  preceding  year.  Croup  proved  fatal 
to  89  children— 64  white,  25  colored — being  44  in  excess  of  the  year  be- 
fore. Sixty-seven  deaths— 44  white,  23  colored— were  caused  by  typhoid 
fever;  being  17  less  than  the  previous  year.  From  scarlet  fever  there 
were  20  deaths— 25  white,  1  colored— being  2  less  than  the  year  before. 
Whooping-cough  caused  19  deaths— 9  white,  10  colored— being  41  less 
than  the  previous  year.  It  would  seem  from  these  figures  that  colored 
persons  are  much  less  fatally  affected  by  the  exanthematous  diseases 
and  diphtheria  than  white  persons.  This  fact  is  not  only  shown  by  the 
records  of  this  office,  but  is  also  shown  by  the  reports  received  from 
other  health  authorities.  There  was  but  one  fatal  case  of  small-pox 
during  the  year,  and  that  occurred  in  the  case  of  a  man  who  came  from 
Philadelphia  on  a  vessel,  and  was  fully  broken  out  w  ith  confluent  va- 
riola  when  he  arrived,  lint  19  deaths  were  ascribed  to  syphilis;  15  of 
these  occurring  among  children  under  live  years  of  age,  congenital  cases, 
the  sins  of  the  parents  being  visited  upon  the  children.  The  deaths  of  02 
children  were  charged  to  inanition  simply;  possibly  many  of  these  would 
have  been  more  propel  •ly  classed  with  congenital  debility.  Excessive 
use  of  alcohol  caused  19  deaths.  , 


II. — CONSTITUTIONAL  DISEASES. 

Constitutional  diseases  caused  1,080  deaths,  or  20.11  per  cent,  of  the 
total  mortality.  The  decedents  were,  274  white  males,  being  23.24  per 
cent,  of  their  total  mortality,  209  white  females,  or  20.10  per  cent,  ot 
their  total  mortality;  225  colored  males,  or  24.43  per  cent,  of  their  total 
mortality;  and  312  colored  females,  30.80  per  cent,  of  their  total  mor- 
tality. The  annual  death-rate  for  the  white  population  from  these  dis- 
eases was  4.40,  and  for  the  colored  8.00.  Cancer  and  phthisis,  two 
diseases  which,  from  their  importance  to  physicians  and  their  patients, 
demand  all  possible  examination  and  illustration,  are  classed  under  this 
head.    A  series  of  tables  giving  all  the  information  that  may  be  ob-

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  417 


tained  from  the  certificates  of  death  from  these  two  diseases  occurring 
in  this  District  from  September  1,  1874,  to  June  30,  1881,  are  given  in 
this  report;  and  the  attention  of  the  medical  profession,  and  all  others 
interested,  is  invited  thereto. 

During  the  past  year  there  have  been  87  deaths  from  cancer,  an  in- 
crease of  10  over  the  year  before1;  they  are  distributed  by  color  and  sex 
as  follows:  White  males,  17;  while  females,  47;  colored  males,!;  and 
colored  females,  22.  The  increase  of  white  decedents  was  14,  colored  2. 
There  were  10  cases  of  cancer  of  breast— 8  white,  2  colored;  27  of  the 
nterns— 22  white,  5  colored;  3  of  the  ovary— 2  white,  1  colored;  and  18 
of  the  stomach — 11  white,  7  colored. 

In  comparing  the  deaths  from  cancer  for  the  past  year  with  the  total 
deaths  since  September  1,  1874,  the  following  significant  facts  ;ire 
noted : 

First.  The  animal  death-rate  for  the  past  year  among  white  decedents 
was  .527  per  1,000;  for  the  full  time  since  September  1,  1874,  it  was  .457, 
an  increase  of  .07;  the  percentage  to  total  deaths  for  the  past  year  was 
2.902 ;  for  the  full  time  2.37,  an  increase  of  .532. 

Second.  The  annual  death-rate  for  the  past  ye  ir  among  colored  de- 
cedents was  .372;  for  the  full  time  .301,  an  increase  of  .012;  the  per- 
centage to  total  deaths  for  the  past  year  was  1.191;  for  the  full  time  .96, 
an  increase  of  .231.  The  experience  of  one  year,  however,  is  not  suffi- 
cient to  predicate  an  assumption  of  an  actual  increase  in  prevalence  of 
the  disease. 

About  two-thirds  of  all  the  deaths  from  cancer  are  of  persons  above 
50  years  of  age,  and  less  than  one-tenth  under  30  years  of  age. 

The  tubercular  order  is  of  great  importance.  Diseases  of  this  order 
proved  fatal  to  934  persons  during  the  year— 238  white  males,  206  white 
females,  213  colored  males,  and  277  colored  females.  Phthisis  pulinon- 
alis  or  consumption  belongs  to  this  order  and  furnishes  759  decedents,  or 
18.35  per  cent,  of  the  total  mortality;  367  were  white  and  392  colored,  or 
16.64  per  cent,  of  the  total  white  and  20.30  per  cent,  of  the  total  colored 
mortality  ;  the  annual  death  rate  per  1,000  for  each  color  being  3.03  for 
the  white  and  6.34  for  the  colored.  The  mean  annual  death-rate  from 
phthisis  since  September  1,  1874,  has  been  3.02  for  the  white  population 
and  6.94  for  the  colored;  this  shows  an  increase  of  .01  per  1,000  among 
the  white  and  a  decrease  of  .64  per  1,000  for  the  colored  population 
during  the  past  year.  The  percentage  of  deaths  from  phthisis  to  total 
deaths  from  all  causes  since  the  1st  of  September,  1874,  has  been  15.68 
for  the  white  and  18.44  lor  the  colored,  showing  an  increased  percentage 
for  the  past  year  of  .90  for  the  white  and  1.86  for  the  colored  population. 
For  the  past  year  there  have  been  12  deaths  of  white  children  under  5 
years  from  phthisis,  and  70  colored;  the  percentage  of  these  deaths  to 
total  deaths  under  5  years  of  age  was  1.72  for  the  white  and  7.14  for 
the  colored;  the  percentage  of  those  dying  under  5  years  of  age  from 
phthisis  to  the  total  deaths  from  the  same  was  3.24  for  the  white  and 
17.60  for  the  colored;  the  annual  death-rate  per  1,000  of  those  dying  of 
phthisis  under  5  years  of  age  was  .099  for  the  white  and  1.133  for  the 
colored;  for  the  whole  time  between  September  1,  1874,  and  June  30, 
1881,  the  percentage  of  deaths  of  children  from  phthisis  under  5  years 
of  age  to  total  deaths  under  5  years  of  age  was  1.33  for  the  white  and 
5.89  for  the  colored,  showing  an  increased  percentage  for  the  past  year 
over  the  full  time  of  .39  for  the  white  and  1.25  for  the  colored;  the  per- 
centage of  the  deaths  from  phthisis  under  5  years  of  age  to  total  deaths 
lrom  phthisis  for  the  full  time  has  been  3.22  for  the  white  and  17.53  for 
the  colored,  showing  an  increased  percentage  for  the  past  year  over  the

fall  time  of  .02  for  the  white  and  .07  for  the  colored;  the  mean  annual 
death-rate  per  1,000  for  those  dying  from  phthisis  under  5  years  of  age 
for  the  full  time  has  been  .01)7  for  the  white  and  L218  for  the  colored, 
showing  an  increased  rate  for  the  past  year  over  the  full  time  of  .0013  for 
the  white  and  a  decreased  rate  of  .085  for  the  colored. 

III.  — LOCAL  D18EA8ES. 

The  local  diseases  are  those  affecting  the  different  organs  of  the 
body,  and  t  hex  are  divided  in  eight  orders  and  enumerated  in  Table  No. 
1,  under  114  specific  diseases.  These  diseases  usually  consist  of  con- 
gestions or  inflammations,  atrophies,  or  hypertrophies,  and  sometimes 
deposits  of  extraneous  matter,  such  as  the  calculus,  or  the  result  of  some 
one  of  these  conditions.  In  this  class  we  have  1,550  deaths,  or  o7.48 
per  cent,  of  the  total  mortality;  401  white  males,  334  white  females,  392 
colored  males  and  363  colored  females,  being  36.06  percent,  of  the  total 
white  and  -SO.  10  per  cent,  of  the  total  colored  mortality.  From  diseases 
of  the  nervous  system  there  were  534  decedents,  of  which 288  were  white 
and  246  colored.  From  the  principal  diseases  under  this  order  we  have 
the  following  number  of  deaths:  Acute  diseases  of  the  nervous  system, 
70  white,  o7  colored  :  apoplexy,  paralysis,  and  softening  of  the  brain,  122 
white,  00  colored;  convulsions  (idiopathic),  35  white,  L33  colored;  in- 
sanity, 33  white,.")  colored;  epilepsy,  7  white,  5  colored.  Pro  III  diseases 
of  the  circulatory  organs  there  were  100  deaths,  136  being  of  disease  of 
the  heart;  73  of  the  latter  were  of  whites  and  63  colored;  11  persons  died 
Of  aneurism,  6  white,  5  colored;  8  of  these  aneurisms  were  of  the  aorta. 
Diseases  of  the  respiratory  organs  furnished  525  of  the  decedents,  1*18 
being  white  and  307  colored;  of  these  pneumonia  and  bronchitis  supplied 
4l><> — white  104,  colored  265.  The  number  of  deaths  from  these  two  last- 
mentioned  diseases  of  children  under  5  years  of  age  was  284,  8i  white 
and  203  colored.  Diseases  of  the  digestive  organs  were  fatal  in  lil  1 
cases,  129  white,  <S2  colored.  From  diseases  of  the  stomach  there  were 
35  white  and  *s  colored  decedents;  of  the  intestines,  24  white,  25  colored; 
liver,  31  white,  8  colored.  There  were  14  cases  of  cirrhosis  of  the  liver 
and  two  of  gallstones:  hernias,  0  white,  1  colored.  Of  the  hernias  2 
were  scrotal,  3  inguinal,  and  2  strangulated,  the  certifying  physician 
failing  to  state  it  in  his  certificate  and  neglecting  to  inform  this  office 
upon  inquiry  being  made  of  him  by  letter.  There  were  SI  deaths  from 
diseases  of  the  urinary  organs,  50  white,  31  colored,  of  which  nephria, 
or  Bri gilt's  disease,  supplied  37,  22  being  white  and  15  colored.  There 
were  10  deaths  from  diseases  of  the  generative  organs,  all  females,  and 
ft  of  each  color.  From  diseases  of  the  locomotory  and  integumentary 
organs  there  were  20  deaths,  10  white  and  10  colored. 

IV.— DEVELOPMENT  DI8EASE8. 

There  were  453  deaths  from  diseases  ol  this  class — {)'.)  white  males, 
114  white  females,  85  colored  males,  and  1 25  colored  females.  Underthis 
class  there  are  4  orders  and  20  diseases.  The  total  deaths  in  this  class 
constitute  10.95  per  cent,  of  the  total  mortality,  and  an  annual  death- 
rate  of  2.47  per  1,000  for  the  total  population.  The  deaths  in  this  class 
aggregate  11.02  per  cent,  of  their  total  mortality,  an  annual  death-rate 
of  2  in  the  1,000.  The  colored  deaths  made  10.88  p.  r  cent,  of  their  total 
mortality  and  an  annual  death-rate  of  2  47  in  the  1,000.  The  deaths  of 
200  children,  caused  by  premature  birth,  or  from  some  lack  of  proper 
development  during  their  uterine  life,  are  classed  under  this  head;  103 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  419 


of  them  were  white  and  97  colored ;  45  women  died  from  puerperal 
diseases ;  6  from  parturition  direct,  8  from  puerperal  convulsions,  10 
from  puerperal  fever,  7  from  puerperal  septicienia,  and  2  from  preg- 
nancy. From  old  age  there  were  197  deaths,  as  follows:  37  white 
males,  72  white  females,  36  colored  males,  and  52  colored  females. 

V.— VIOLENCE. 

There  were  140  violent  deaths  reported  during  the  year,  53  white 
males,  31  white  females,  38  colored  males,  and  24  colored  females, 
making  3.53  per  cent,  of  total  mortality  and  an  annual  death  rate  of

per  cent,  of  their  mortality  and  an  annual  death-rate  of  0.7  per  1,000; 
and  for  the  colored  population  3.21  per  cent,  of  their  mortality,  or  an 
annual  death-rate  of  1  per  cent,  per  1,000.  Under  this  class  there  are  4 
orders  and  56  specific  causes  of  death.  If  the  deaths  by  violence  are 
excluded  from  the  total  mortality,  the  death-rates  for  the  past  year 
from  diseases  would  he  for  total  population  21.79  per  1,000;  tor  white 
population  17.48,  and  for  the  colored  30.27.  From  accidents  and  negli- 
gence there  were  110  deaths,  some  of  the  principal  causes  of  which  are 
as  follows:  Injuries  from  falls,  21  deaths;  from  the  careless  use  of  fire- 
arms, 0;  railroad  accidents,  4;  drowned,  11;  scalds,  4;  burns,  15;  neg- 
lect of  the  new  born,  4;  street  accidents,  8 ;  overlaid  by  mother,  0; 
careless  use  of  poisons,  4;  traumatic  tetanus,  4;  surgical  operations,  2. 
Two  colored  males  were  hanged  for  murder.  The  deaths  by  homicides 
numbered  17 — 4  white  males,  4  white  females,  5  colored  males,  and  4 
colored  females  ;  5  were  killed  by  blows  on  their  heads,  1  by  penetrating 
wound  of  lung,  (>  infanticides,  3  gunshot  wounds,  1  by  cut  throat,  and 
one  by  wilful  neglect.  During  the  year  11  white  persons  did  "  wilfully 
employed  being  as  follows :  By  hanging,  2;  drowning,  1;  gunshot  seek 
their  own  salvation"  by  committing  suicide,  the  means  wound,  1 ;  burn- 
ing, 1;  cnt-throat,  1;  incised  wound  of  arm,  1;  cyanide  of  potassium,  1; 
arsenic,  1  ;  corrosive  sublimate,  1 ;  laudanum,  1. 

Of  the  table  illustrating  the  births,  still-births,  and  marriages  re- 
ported it  is  not  deemed  necessary  to  make  any  remarks,  as  they  suffi- 
ciently explain  themselves. 

Of  the  map  showing  the  location  of  deaths  but  little  need  be  said, 
except  in  regard  to  the  one  giving  the  location  of  the  total  mortality. 
The  deaths  by  violence  are  not  located  on  this  map  for  the  reason  that 
the  cause  of  their  occurrence  cannot  be  charged  to  the  place  of  death, 
as  the  injury  that  produced  the  fatal  result  may  have  beeu  received  at 
some  distant  point,  and  ought  not  in  any  event  prove  a  reflection  on 
the  sanitary  condition  of  the  place  of  death.  All  these  locations  are 
from  the  certificates  of  death  received  at  this  office,  and  are  believed 
to  be  in  the  main  correct. 

The  table  of  daily  mortality  and  meteorological  conditions  is  on  the 
same  plan  as  the  one  published  in  the  last  report,  with  the  addition  of 
the  daily  maximum  and  minimum  temperature  and  range  of  the  same. 
Sufficient  data  are  not  yet  obtained  to  warrant  an  extensive  analysis  of 
mortality  and  meteorological  relations.  Yet  that  these  relations  do 
exist  cannot  be  doubted.  Although  it  is  not  yet  time  to  base  any  posi- 
tive statements  on  the  data  that  have  been  published,  still  we  may 
hazard  the  remark  that  daily  mean  temperature  ranging  above  70°,  with 
a  daily  range  between  maximum  and  minimum  of  20°,  will  very  materi- 
ally increase  the  deaths  of  children  under  5  years  of  age,  and  with  a 
high  percentage  of  humidity  and  no  rainfall  there  will  be  an  increase  of 
deaths  from  diseases  of  the  nervous  system  and  an  increase  of  nervous

complications  amon g  all  diseases.    The  following  explanatory  note  from 
last,  venort  will  sufficiently  explain  the  use  ot  the  table  : 
Explanatory  Note.— The  column  of  «  daily  rainfall"  indicates  that 

the  amount  was  too  small  to  measure. 

jnThe  "mortality"  division,  classified  according  to  diseases.  75.65  per 
cent,  of  all  the  deaths  appear.'  This  division  might,  possihly  have  been 
?nlprovedl»v  a  classification  as  to  colorof  decedents.  The  number o c h  - 
dren  dying  at  the  ape  of  7  days  and  under  are  also  included  in  the  column 
of  "hose  dying  -under  5  years  of  age."   Under  the  head  ot  "malarial 

fever r" 
rial,  c 
Under 

sease^  of  convulsions,  congestion  of 

the  brain,  &e.,  following,  or  complicated  with,  diarrheal  diseases,  or  with 
anv  of  the  different  fevers,  diphtheria,  whooping-cough,  &c,  are  not  in- 
eluded    All  of  these  cases  are  classified  under  the  primary  diseases. 

The  Chief  Signal  Officer,  U.  S.  A.,  furnished  this  office  with  the  follow- 
ing items,  under  the  head  of  ''meteorological  conditions":  The  daily 
and  monthlv  mean  of  barometer  and  temperature  (dry-bulb),  and  humid- 
ity; the  7  o'clock  a.  m.,  2  and  9  o'clock  p.  m.  observations  ot  barometer, 
temperature  (both  dry-  and  wet-bulbs),  humidity,  direction  and  force  ot 
wind,  state  of  weather,  and  rainfall.  The  other  data  were  worked  out 
by  Dr.  Theodore  Mead,  of  this  office. 

The  movements  of  the  barometer  are  given  in  inches  and  decimals  ot 
an  inch:  the  signs  +  and  -  show  rise  or  fall  of  barometer  and  ther- 
mometer.   The  temperature  is  measured  in  degrees  of  the  Fahrenheit 

scale.  ,  .         f    .  ,„ 

The  items  in  the  column  of  "  Resultant  direction  and  force  ot  wind 
were  obtained  by  platting— using  the  three  daily  observations  as  fac- 
tors—and these  should  be  read  as  follows:  N.  norther/?/  and  not  north  ;. 
S.  southerly  and  not  south;  KE.  northeaster/!/  and  not  northeast,  &c. 
Only  when  the  mean  hourly  force  of  the  wind  agrees  with  the  resultant 
force,  should  the  abbreviations  be  read  in  the  usual  manner.    Ou  many 
'days  each  observation  indicates  a  change  in  direction  and  force  of  the 
wind,  and  the  resultant  direction  and  force  only  show  the  distance,  in 
miles  and  direction,  that  a  particle  of  air  would  be  from  the  point  of 
observation,  were  it  acted  upon  by  the  united  forces  and  directions  of 
the  wind,  as  ascertained  by  the  three  observations  during  one  hour's 
time. 

To  obtain  the  amount  of  air  passing  the  point  ot  observations  (in  this 
case  Washington),  for  any  particular  day,  it  will  be  necessary  to  multi- 
ply by  24  the  number  in  the  column  of  the  ''Mean  force  of  wind  per 
hour." 

The  items  in  the  column.of  "  State  of  weather,"  are,  as  near  as  possible, 
reasonable  summaries  of  the  state  of  weather  as  made  at  the  three  obser- 
vations for  each  day. 

For  the  past  year  the  mean  of  barometer  has  been  30.07  inches,  mean 
temperature  53.2°,  mean  percentage  of  humidity  70  6,  and  total  raintall 
43.56  inches. 

Following  this  last  mentioned  table  are  those  illustrating  the  mortality 
in  this  District  from  September  1,  1874,  to  June  30,  1881.  As  the  sta- 
tistics of  each  year,  added  to  those  already  tabulated,  their  interest  and 
v;  lue  wid  be  increased,  more  especially  in  regard  to  the  two  diseases, 
cancer  and  phthisis.  It  is  hoped  that  these  tables  will  be  found  suffi- 
ciently self  explanatory;  they  bring  out  so  many  valuable  facts  that 
their  study  in  detail  will  amply  repay  any  one  interested  in  the  subject.

Appendix  Z  1. 

District  of  Columbia,  Health  Department, 

.  Washington,  September  29,  1881. 
Gentlemen  :  Referring  to  your  letter  of  the  loth  ultimo,  I  have  the 
honor  to  present  herewith  estimate  of  appropriations  required  to  defray 
the  expenses  of  conducting  the  sanitary  service,  prevent  the  sale  of  un-

prevent  domestic  animals  from  running  at  large  in  the  District  of  Co- 
lumbia during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1883: 

For  salary  of  health  officer   $3,  000 

For  six  sanitary  inspectors,  at  $1,200  each   7,200 

For  two  food  inspectors,  at  $1,200  each   2,  400

REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  577 


As  the  inspector  of  plumbing  was  last  year  appropriated  for  in  the 
inspector  of  buildings'  office,  I  have  not* included  the  salary  of  that 
officer  in  these  estimates.  He  being  employed  under  direction  of  the 
health  officer,  however,  I  have  asked  for  a  small  advance  on  the  sum 
for  contingent  expenses,  in  order  to  be  enabled  to  provide  books,  blanks, 
permits,  office  furniture,  stationery,  &c,  for  him. 

The  salary  of  the  inspector  of  marine  products  was  last  year  placed 
at  $1,000.  This  was  done,  I  think,  without  proper  consideration.  The 
duties  of  that  officer  are  onerous,  and  of  much  importance.  There  should 
be  no  distinction  between  salaries  of  inspectors;  and  1  have  asked  that 
$1,200  be  allowed  him  fn  common  with  the  others. 

In  addition  to  this,  I  would  recommend  that  $1,000  be  asked  of  Con- 
gress, to  be  used  in  abating  nuisances  on  public  property,  such  as  ac- 
cumulations of  rank  weeds,  filth,  debris,  &c.    A  fund  for  this  purpose  is 
much  needed  at  certain  seasons  of  the  year. 
Very  respectfully,  &c, 

SMITH  TO WNSH END,  M.  D., 

Health  Officer,  District  of  Columbia.

with  the  requirements  of  the  act  of  Congress  regulating  gas  works  in 
this  District.  aj  , 

Complaints  have  fallen  off  considerably  regarding  poor  light,  ana

stoppages  produced  mainly  from  tlie  presence  of  naphthaline  in  the 
service  pipes,  have  become  much  less  frequent. 

The  gas  contained  but  a  small  quantity  of  sulphur  (an  impurity  which 
no  method  yet  devised  in  a  commercial  way,  has  enabled  engineers  to 
free  gas  from  entirely). 

The  quantity  of  ammonia  present  was  slight,  and  on  two  occasions 
the  gas  was  absolutely  free  from  it. 

This  impurity  is  now  utilized,  forming  the  base  of  ammonia  sulphate, 
a  salt  which  is  extensively  employed  in  alum  making,  and  is  the  start- 
ing point  of  the  preparation  of  chloride  of  ammonium,  carbonate  of  am- 
monia, liquid  ammonia,  and  other  similar  products. 

On  eleven  occasions  during  the  past  year  the  gas  supplied  by  the 
Washington  Gas  Light  Company  was  of  less  illuminating  power  than 
sixteen  candles,  as  follows  :

On  three  occasions  the  gas  of  this  company  contained  a  slight  excess 
of  sulphur,  over  the  20  grains  allowed  in  each  100  cubic  feet:  March  2, 
20.89  grains ;  April  5,  20.20  grains,  April  22,  26.03  grains. 

The  illuminating  power  and  purity  of  the  gas  supplied  by  the  George- 
town Gas  Light  Company  from  July  1, 1880,  to  June  30, 1881 ,  are  as  fol-

The  quality  of  the  gas  supplied  by  the  Georgetown  Gas  Light  Com- 
pany during  the  first  half  of  the  fiscal  year,  with  a  few  exceptions,  was 
very  high  and  quite  free  from  impurities. 

On  several  occasions  during  the  months  of  January  and  February 
the  illuminating  power  of  the  gas  was  very  poor,  and  the  sulphur  was 
in  excess  of  the  quantity  allowed. 

According  to  letters  received  from  the  company  these  violations  were 
owing  to  derangements  in  the  manufacturing  department,  and  they 
further  state  that  the  defaults  could  not  have  been  prevented  with 
ordinary  care  and  prudence,  but  were  occasioned  by  some  unavoidable 
cause. 

During  the  months  of  March,  April,  and  May,  this  company  weie 
required  to  make  considerable  alterations  in  their  machinery,  tor  con- 
ducting waste  products  from  the  works,  and  in  accomplishing  this 
object,  the  scrubbers  were  frequently  thrown  out  of  action,  which  was 
the  cause  of  the  gas  containing  in  quite  a  number  of  instances  an  excess 
of  ammonia,  and  on  a  few  occasions  an  excess  of  sulphur,  with  some 
depression,  in  the  illuminating  power. 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  579 


The  depressions  in  the  power  of  the  gas,  last  mentioned,  were  mostly 
due  to  defective  retorts. 

These  works  are  now  in  fair  condition,  and  it  is  not  likely  that  viola- 
tions wrill  be  as  frequent  during  the  present  year. 

On  twenty-nine  occasions  during  the  year  the  gas  supplied  by  this 
company  was  of  less  illuminating  power  than  sixteen  candles,  as  follows:

In  every  instance  that  violations  have  occurred,  no  matter  how  slight 
the  infraction,  notice  lias  been  served  on  the  company  violating,  in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  first  section  of  gas  act. 

This  office  has  received  each  month  that  violations  of  the  standards 
have  been  reported  therein,  communications  from  the  company  so 
defaulting,  giving  their  reasons  why  they  were  unable  to  comply  with 
the  requirements  of  the  act.    Said  communications  are  on  file. 

The  specific  gravity  of  the  gas  supplied  by  the  Washington  Gas 
Light  Company  was:  Average  specific  gravity,  .408;  air,  1,000;  high- 
est specific  gravity,  .570  ;  lowest  specific  gravity,  .448. 

Specific  gravity  of  the  gas  supplied  by  the  Georgetown  Gas  Light 
Company  was:  Average  specific  gravity,  .497;  air,  1,000;  highest  spe- 
cific gravity,  .511;  lowest  specific  gravity,  .475. 

GAS  BURNERS. 

During  the  past  year  much  time  and  attention  has  been  bestowed  in 
testing  the  improved  flat  flame  burners,  manufactured  by  Messrs.  George 
Bray  &  Co.,  of  Leeds,  England. 

In  particular  was  attention  given  to  inspection  of  Bray's  special  union 
slit  and  special  union  jet-burners. 

Tests  were  also  made  with  Bray's  30-candle  "  standard"  patent  slit 
union  burner,  and  regulator  uuiou  jet-burners,  and  also  with  the  follow-

The  illuminating  power  of  the  gas  supplied  in  this  District  is  deter- 
mined on  the  "  Bunsen  photometer,"  using  the  English  parliamentary 
standard  Argand  burner,  having  15  holes  and  a  7-inch  chimney. 

This  burner  was  adopted  in  1863,  for  determining  the  illuminating 
power  of  the  gas  supplied  in  the  city  of  London,  and  is  generally  known 
as  the  Sugg-Letheby  Argand.  It  is  not,  however,  the  present  standard 
burner  in  England 

The  gas  referees  in  1870  adopted  Sugg's  London  Argand  burner  No.  1, 
having  24  holes  and  a  6-inch  chimney,  as  a  standard,  and  this  burner  is 
at  present  used  by  the  referees  for  testing. 

By  the  use  of  this  improved  burner  the  illuminating  value  of  5  cubic 
feet  of  London  gas  is  increased  about  1.75  candles. 

On  examination  of  the  above  table  of  tests,  made  with  various  burners, 
it  will  be  observed  that  the  illuminating  power  obtained  with  Bray's 
special  burners  Nos.  5,  6,  and  7,  both  union  slit  and  jet  form,  was  high, 
but  with  Bray's  regulator  burners  only  moderately  good. 

The  result  of  test  with  Bray's  standard  union  slit  burner  was  highly 
satisfactory.  This  burner  is  best  suited  for  street  illumination,  and  will 
yield  the  maximum  candle  power  obtainable  from  a  cubic  foot  of  gas. 

Peeble's  governor  burner  f  urnished  a  high  candle  power.  This  burner 
will  be  found  very  economical  and  desirable  in  localities  where  excessive 
pressure  prevails. 

Sugg's  "  K  K"  Argand  with  central  flame,  performed  well,  but  the  can- 
dle power  obtained,  per  cubic  foot  of  gas  consumed,  was  not  equal  to 
the  candle  power  obtained  with  Bray  standard  union  slit  burner. 

This  Argand  burner  is  rated  to  consume  10.5  cubic  feet  per  hour,  and 
at  this  stated  consumption  to  furnish  an  illuminating  power  equal  to  34 





582     REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 

candles.  In  the  test  made  with  this  burner  it  only  required  8.40  cubic 
feet  per  hour  to  yield  34.17  candles. 

This  test  proves  conclusively  the  superior  quality  of  the  gas  supplied 
in  this  city,  compared  with  that  furnished  in  the  city  of  London,  where 
the  above  described  burner  was  rated.  A  saving  in  the  consumption  of 
over  19  per  cent.,  with  equal  illumination,  was  the  result  of  test. 

Sugg's  "D"  Argand  and  the  Sugg  Letheby  Argand  were  not  suited 
for  the  quality  of  the  gas  experimented  with,  hence  the  poor  results 
obtained  with  those  burners. 

The  Ellis  regulator  burner  maintained  its  good  reputation  established 
last  year,  and  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  best  Hat-flame  burner  manufact- 
ured in  this  country. 

The  special  burners  manufactured  by  Bray  &  Co.  compare  favorably 
with  any  yet  inspected  by  this  office;  they  are  well  made  and  no  doubt 
will  prove  very  durable  in  practical  use.  They  are  best  adapted  for 
consuming  gases  of  high  gravity. 

Gas  of  line  quality  will  yield  a  higher  caudle-power  per  cubic  foot  con- 
sumed through  a  well  made  tiat-name  burner,  either  batwing  or  fishtail 
form,  than  can  be  obtained  with  the  Argand  burners  generally  in  use. 
This  has  been  satisfactorily  demonstrated  during  the  past  year  in  this 
city.  The  gas  supplied  by  the  Washington  (las  Light  Company  for 
some  months  has  been  enriched  with  naphtha  ;  the  combination  of 
naphtha  with  coal  yields  a  richer  and  higher  specific  gravity  gas  than 
we  had  formerly,  and  the  results  obtained  with  the  parliamentary  Ar- 
gand burner  having  15  holes,  which  the  law  expressly  states  must  be 
used  in  determining  the  illuminating  power  of  the  gas  supplied  in  this 
District,  does  not  represent  its  true  candle-power. 

The  ordinary  batwing  and  fishtail  burners,  such  as  the  majority  of  con- 
sumers use,  give  from  15  to  20  per  cent,  more  light  without  increased 
consumption. 

INSPI^CTION  OF  METERS. 

One  thousand  one  hundred  and  thirty  meters  were  inspected  and 
proved  by  this  office  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1881.  With 
the  exception  of  one  meter  inspected  and  proved  for  the  Alexandria 
Gas  Light  Company,  the  above  number  were  inspected  and  proved  tor 
the  Washington  and  Georgetown  Gas  Light  Companies,  and  for  consum- 
ers of  gas. 

The  results  of  inspection  were  as  follows :  46  registered  fast  against 
the  consumers,  average  error  3.36  per  cent. ;  05  registered  slow  against 
the  companies,  average  error  8.35  per  cent. ;  954  registered  within  the 
limits  allowed  by  law,  namely,  2  per  cent,  either  way,  and  were  sealed, 
and  returned  to  the  companies  for  service;  33  did  not  register  the  gas 
flowing  through  them,  and  1  was  locked  so  no  inspection  could  be  made; 
170  of  the  above-mentioned  meters  were  inspected  and  proved  on  com- 
plaints; 59  were  complained  of  by  consumers  of  gas  ;  19  registered  last, 
average  error  3.76  per  cent. ;  10  registered  slow,  average  error  5.54 
per  cent.,  and  30  registered  within  the  limits  allowed  by  law  j  111  were 
complained  of  by  the  gas  companies;  1  registered  fast  3.33 per  cent. ; 
67  registered  slow,  average  error  13.97  per  cent. ;  13  registered  within 
the  limits  allowed,  and  30  did  not  register. 

All  the  meters  inspected,  with  the  exception  of  one,  were  what  are 
known  as  dry  meters,  having  leather  partitions,  or  diaphragms,  tor 
measuring  the  gas ;  the  one  wet  meter  referred  to  was  inspected  and 
proved  for  the  architect  of  the  Capitol  building. 

I  respectfully  renew  the  recommendation  submitted  in  last  annual 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS  OF  DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA.  583 

report,  that  the  act  of  Congress  regulating  gas-works,  approved  June 
23,  1874,  be  modified,  so  as  to  require,  when  for  any  purpose  whatever 
the  heads  of  meters  that  have  been  inspected,  proved,  and  sealed  are 
removed  by  the  gas  companies,  meters  of  this  description  should  be 
classed  as  repaired  meters,  and  brought  to  this  office  for  reinspection 
before  again  being  placed  in  service. 

The  seal  of  the  inspector  is  the  evidence  that  the  meter  has  been  prop- 
erly tested  and  proven  as  required  by  law. 

To  admit  the  right  of  the  companies  to  remove  the  head  of  a  sealed 
meter  and  rectify  whatever  is  wrong,  and  return  meter  to  service  with- 
out reinspection  and  sealing,  would  be  to  render  the  law  practically  in- 
operative, by  making  uncertain,  if  not  impossible,  the  protection  secured 
through  inspection  and  sealing,  by  the  office  created  for  that  purpose. 

I  would  further  recommend  chat  this  office  be  allowed  a  messenger. 
A  man  has  been  employed  to  do  work  of  this  description  during  the 
past  six  years,  and  has  been  paid  for  said  services  out  of  the  meter  fees, 
at  the  rate  of  $450.25  per  annum.  But  owing  to  the  reduced  number  of 
meters  inspected  during  the  last  two  years  the  surplus  revenue  which 
had  accumulated  from  previous  years,  wiien  a  greater  number  of  meters 
were  tested,  is  now  nearly  exhausted,  and  the  indications  not  being 
more  favorable  for  the  present  year,  the  fees  receivable  from  this  source 
will  not  be  sufficient  to  maintain  a  messenger  and  meet  the  other  neces- 
sary expenses,  to  wit,  keeping  in  repair  the  apparatus,  providing  fuel, 
chemicals,  meter  seals,  and  stationery.
