prepared TO recommend this structure II the Dis
tnct revenues should be In any wise drawn upon
f0r Us completion. The urgent and pressing needs
OF the District proper are great that for years TO
come all the revenues to be derived from taxation
and appropriations by Congress will be needed for
expenditure within the District.
The case is different with regard to improved
communication across the Eastern branch. At
Ih0 present time there are but two bridges, viz
behnings and Anacostia, furnishing cOmInun1ca-
uoA Neither OF these structures is adequate to
us purpose nor sufficiently centrally located. A
structure extending from the eastern terminus OF
pennsylvania avenue across the river Is urgently
needed, and Its due proportion OF the expense OF
this construction may well be borne by the Dis
tr1ct government. There is no bridge across Rock
creek at the present time which can be regarded
as satisfactory, whether in point of stability OF
needful accommodation. Those within the city
proper, upon Pennsylvania avenue, N and p
streets, are narrow and not entirely secure. They
should as early as possible be replaced by more
substantial structures OF greater width and per-
manence. The county bridges acrOSs Rock creek,
az Woodley lane road and Pierce mill road, are
wooden structures OF considerable age upOn which
repairs have been made from time to time. These
also should be replaced by iron or masonry struc-
lures OF greater elevation and accommodation.

been recognized as not only en- undesirable rea-
ture of street architecture, but serious detri-
ment TO several municipal interests
The natural alternative Is to put the wires be-
meath the surface, but the companies have re-
sisted this on the ground that practicable sys-
tenn Of underground wiring has yet been devised
and because the cost 9f changing the system
would be very heavy. The former argument Is no
longer tenabe, and the latter does not carry SUI
icient weight to warrant the further postpone
ment of so necessary provision. The great CAPT
