A GRUMBLE ABOUT STREET IMPROVEMENTS
There is considerable grumbling here among
the parties interested because it is given out
that Congress Tor 31st street, is not to be i'm
proved from p street to Road street as estima-
ted for by the District Commissioners but from
street to the summit of the hill, falling short
over 100 yards from Road street. District off,
Gals explain this by saying that the appropra-
t1ons for improvements in this District made
by Congress footed up only five-sixths of the
amount estimated by the Commissioners who
finding this to be the case cut down one-sixth
ening the improvements to that extent, except
in Georgetown which was cut down one-twe tth
only. According to this Georgetown gets more
money for street Improvements this year in
proportion than any other section of the Dis
trict.
