FUNDS TURNED OVER TO THE U. s. TREASURER.
Reference was made in The STAR some DAYS
ago to the fact that the District Commissioners
had procured the necessary legislation from
Congress authorizing them to deduct one dol
lar each per month from the pay of each police
man, which sum so deducted shall be added to
and form part Of the present police fund"
Under this same law making appropriation for
the District a like provision was drawn mp by
the Commissioners for q fremen's relief fund,
to be created by dedcting one dollar each month
from the pay of each fireman. This is q new
move on the part of the Commissioners for the
good Of the fremen Of this District, and meets
with the entire approval OF the fire department.
Another fund which has heretofore been In
custody OF the District Commissioners is the 10
per cent retain from the contractors, which con-
stitutes a considerable amount. All these sepa-
rate funds are to be turned over to the Treasurer
Of the United States, and hereafter, by this act,
to be kept there, subject to draft by the Com
missioners and their successors. The time
fixed for the transfer of the same is O'Clock to
day. The Commissioners do not desire the GUS
tody Of any moneys belonging to the public,
and favor making the deposits In the United
States Treasury. The legislation TO that end
was effected at their request.

AleXandriR Affairs.


STREETwAYs SoUTH.-The city Of Alexandria
is cut OF from its natural boundary on the
ssouth-Huntine creek-by the fact that when
opening Of the present century the southwest
line Of the District Of Columbia became the
southwest line Of the corporation Of Alexandria,
beyond which no streets could be opened by
city authority. In 1902 openings were made
on all streets south to the District line, fences
there. And when the city went back to i. Vir-
gin1a in 1S47 the old District line had become
the Fairfax county line, so tnat the Jurisdiction
OF the city was still limited by an imaginary
line running due northwest from the light
house at Jones' Point. Hence, Alexandria has
only two thoroughfares to Hunting creek. As
the establishments of manufactures on the creek
ming thence of especial interest it is probable
that the subject will be brought to the attention
Of the legislature at its next session.
