Stopping of charred refuse storage draws public comment
Secretary George L Wilson opened the Board of Charities session after weeks away in California. Residents near Fifth and K streets NW urged halting the storage of charred refuse on the parking, while Palmers Boring complained of nightly garbage wagon noise. Citizens urged publishing street cleaning schedules again, and sprinkling before sweeping was critiqued by Mrs. G H Philips. The matter was referred to Superintendent Stutler. Separately, Corporation Counsel Duvall ruled funds owed to the family of Policeman William B. Skelly should go to his second wife's legal representatives, as his first wife’s children sought a share. Other items touched charity affairs, personal bonds for speeders, and local ads.
