Citizens Call Upon the Commissioners to Re
lieve Them Of the Racket.

The cobblestone pavements on Sixth and c
streets have long been complained of, and it is
thought by some to be singular that, though
these streets are In the center of the city, they
are the only ones in the vicinity that are not
paved with concrete. There are several objec-
tons to the cobble stones the main one being
that they cause great noise, and are injurious
to vehicles. A delegation of citizens and prop
erty-hOders including MesSrs. NJ. b. Charlie
ton u Co., f. Tcnney Il Co., u. ID. Gilman,
Selden " Robbins, Mrs. n. w. Cushing, Edward
Temple, Postmaster COnger, Luther Martin,
Martin x Butler, James J.. Barbour " Co,
James y. Davis d Co., and others were at the
district commissioners office yesterday for
the purpose of having these streets
paved with concrete They left q petition
with the commissioners asking for the imme-
diate improvement of the streets. The com
missioners said that they would look over the
work in hand, and IL the funds would admit
they would have the streets repaired. The
commissioners said that they were working on
the old plan of expanding the appropriation
in the different parts of the city, and that they
had commenced in the center of the city as
near as II had been practicable and were ex-
pending money in the Improvement of the
streets toward the boundaries; in this they
had been compelled TO swerye from the uni
form course because of the direction given to
private improvement, &c, but as a rule have
TO abide by 1t rs nearly as possible. Capitol
hill, South Washington, and the northeast por-
ton had seemingly been neglected, but they
had done the best they could with the means
ut their command.

THE MONUMENT.
work at the Dizzy Height will Hereafter be
Slow and Tedious,


"What has caused the delay in laying stone
for the apex of Washington monument? You
were advertised to begin Sept. So asked n re.
porter yesterday OF Capt Davis, who has i'm
mediate charge OF the construction. The cap.
tain said thatthc date named was the mistaken
idea of some cntcrprising newspaper man who
had probably misunderstood what was told
him. "The stones are rapidly being pre-
pared" said the captain, but we will not be
ready TO begin laying the first course of the
apex before next week some time" Capt
Davis said that the stones which will form the
outer face Of the conc-shnped apex will meas
IRE feet In length by feet inches IN width
and when the first courses are laid, II viii be
impossible to lay more than one course day,
even II that much can be accomplished The
succeeding work will not be much faster be-
cause there is only one derrick now In use,
where before, In laying the courses on tine
shan, four derrlcks were available, ana stone
could be placed In position as fast almost as 1t
could be hoisicd on the elevator. The
apex Will be provided at places on
each face with horizontal Sits which

reporter, "of the great American idea OF going

some time ago the plans for u bridge some
