THE REPORT OF ENGiSEsR HoxIE
Just made, I'm which he states :-"After \
long search have found the original papers
OF the commission under whose direction the
avenue was paved in pursuance of the act of
congress approved July stu. 1870, with a
statement of their assessment of the cost /

the CapitOI gate and 18th street, is a bitumi-
nous concrete. TEe cost of this as estimated
In my last annual report, is S2Ss CO., and
should certainly not exceed $500, 900. This
uo'N LOT include the paving be- ween the
tracks of the street railroad, nor the two feet
on either side of the outer rails. For this
space granite blocks upon Foundation OF
hydraulic cement should be used, the blocks
outside of the outer rails being laid so as to
dOvetail into the concrete pavement, at an
estimated cost OF So 400. 1 should recon-
mend, however, that proposals be invited

THE RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED.
TIE Commissioners approve the recon-

advertisements for proposals for the repay

lished in such cities as the Commissioners
deem desirable, AT least two weeks in al
advance of the time fixed for the opening of
the bids.
In regard 10 the assessment of the cost OF
the new pavement they suggest that in
view of the fact of the private property
holders having paid so large proportion OF
the cost OF the present pavement, as hereto
fore shown, a liberal contribution for the
payment of the new pavement should be
made by the United States.
