REPAvING THE AVENUE.
Proposals for repaviDg the north side of Penn
sylyania avenue, from the Capitol to 18th street,
are being prepared by the District Commits
sioners. 1t has lot yet been determined what
particular kind Of pavement will be laid, but il
II generally believed IL will be concrete.
PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES.
The Controller to- day continued the payment
OF District employees. Among those paid were
the garbage masters. The next class paid will
probably be the employees of the board OF public
works.
IL Is hoped the Commissioners will make ar
engagements TO pay the school teachers without
delay, az their annual vacation Is slipping away,
and many OF the ladies who need a trip to the
country OF seaside to recuperate their exhausted
energies, have not the means 10 defray their
expenses until they receive their pay. In a
week or two It will come too late to do any good
in that way.
