NEW HEALTH INSPECTOR.
Neenah G. Smith Will Investigate Tuberculosis in the District.

Other appointments were approved by the commissioners as follows: R. W. BURCHARD, dumpman in the street cleaning department; B. J. KURBIN, engineering department, steam crane operator; A. H. WILLIAMS, subinspector, engineering department.

Asks Change in Street Name.
The commissioners have received a letter from Messmore KENDALL, 27 William street, New York city, asking that the name of Mozart place, near Meridian street, in Washington, be changed to its former name of Messmore Place, in honor of his grandfather, Col. Messmore, who owned much property in that vicinity. A bill has been introduced in Congress to accomplish this, but the commissioners have reported unfavorably on it. They state that there is no public desire to change the name.
