The District Commissioners, In reply to Mr..
C. B. Church. chairman Of the subcommittee
on harbor improvements, say that the Commits
city at this time the exact work to which the
limited sum that will be available for sewers
during the fiscal year ending June 3Oth. 1887.
should be applied. The Commissioners say
it is not likely that this sum can exceed
ST., 900, and tits question whether any por-
be 70 ss
estimates should be betrayed from the appropri.
alton for filling up the Potomac fats by which
the necessity for this extension was occasioned;
this question must be determined by Congress.
The construction Of an intercepting sewer on
Water street, while highly desirable, is be-
sewer work, the a cost Of which viii probably
exceed the sum that can be applied to this class
OF improvement
