BILE to the engineer, the persons who could bid
being advised by letter. The Commissioners
have not at their disposal the data necessary to
state all the expenditures on streets, alleys, &c,
since 1871, and will not have until the records and
books of the board of audit are turned over TO
them. They were informed by the engineer and
the deputy comptroller, having charge Of the as
sessments, that for several months the work Of
making and collecting assessments has been ar
rested by the cessation of statements from the
board of audit Of expenditures on improvements.
The assessments for special improvements for
work done under the Commissioners have been In
conformity with the established rules followed by
the Board of Public Works, the assessment being
based upon the actual cost Of the Improvement.
In closing, the Commissioners express their
disappointment at the extent of the expenditure
for work payable in 3.65 bonds. They explain
their want Of information Of the magnitude of
expenditure in the practical workings OF the Dis
trict government under the creative law which
imposes upon the Commissioners little responsi-
bility for the execution Of the work they order.
The necessity for the work, its character and ex-
tent done under the Commissioners, cannot be ap-
preciated by those not informed of the condition
Of the District. They had found the finances Of
the District embarrassed upon entering upon
their duties and many other dificulties in their
way, and had now the satisfaction to know there
was change for the better. The replies are ac-
companied with exhibits and tables, containing
all the figures called for by the committee.
