The List OF Streets TO BE Improved
Divulged After u Singular Delay.
After an apparently rrrl0scless delay, at
tended however with more or less prev1rlca-
tion, the District commissioners decided yes
tcrday to divugc to the public the streets
which they have asked authority TO improve
during the next fiscal year. The lis. is by law
required TO be transmitted to the Secretary OF
the Treasury, with the estimates Of expcnl.
lures If approved, both are included In tho
Secretnry's estimates to Congress. They were
duly received at tho Treasury Department
some four weeks ago, and referred by the Sec.
retary's private secretary to the bureau having
the revision Of them Mr.. Manning not having
had the matter before him personally ut al.
il has been usual for the list of streets to be
liyen out MS soon rs completed by the com.
missiOners; but repeated applications by news.
men met with almost rs great variety OF
10 one reporter for the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
II was stated that the list was not in tho Dis.
trlct buildings to another that by acciden; no
copy had been retained, but that on sending to
the treasury for one II was furnished, with the
express condition that no newspaper man was
to sec 1t. In the last case n reason for this was
asked, when T. was stated that Secrctiry NJ IN.
ming did not want to be bothered by pc 1plo
who were interested In certain streets not In
cludod coming to protest or complain.
