Tho Law making appropriations for the sup
port of the District OF Columbia for the fiscal
year ending June 80, $780, contains the follow
ing provision:
THE President Of the United States 10 hereby
authorized to appoint three competent sani-
tary engineers, who shall examine and report
upon the system of sewerage existing In the
District Of Columbia together with such sug-
gestions and recommendations as may 10 them
seem necessary or desirable for the modifca-
taon and extension of the same, and such re-
port shall be transmitted 10 Congress by the
PRESIDENT ct its next session. And for the pur-
pose OF defraying the expenses Of such exami-
naton and report the sum of $4,000. or so
mach thereof as may be necessary, is hereby
appropriated"
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Commissioners to-day. bearing the above
IN mind, transmitted the following letter to the
President;
AS the Commissioners have not learned that
any action has been taken in the matter, they
deem II possible that this provision has escaped
your observation. or that, as il so intimately re-
lates to branch of the municipal adninistra-
ton OF the District you may be depending upon
them to bfing it to your attention. The Com
missioners therefore have taken the liberty TO
=
any information in their possession that will be
OF service 10 you in its consideration"
VIEWS OF THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.
In speaking Of the above Commissioner
Douglass said that he thought the scheme q
good one The recent foods, he said, clearly
demonstrated that something should be done
TO correct the sewerage of Washington. His
opinion was that food gates should be provided
at the outlet Of the sewers to prevent the tide
from coming in, and the sewerage accummu-
lating in the meantime could be pumped out
At any rate, he said, the subject was good one
and worthy Of much consideration.
Commissioner Hine said that he thought
much good could be done if an improved
method for disposing Of the sewage could be
devised.
Major Raymond said: s'The appointment Of
these sanitary engineers was not recommended
by the Commissioners to Congress and was en-
tirely unnecessary. The sewerage problem is
simple one, sndI think the engineer depart
ment Of the District could easily have handled
it. III we could have had the money appropri-
ated for this purpose TO in replacing OBJ
structed sewers think it would have been a
great deal better, and much more good would
have resulted"

however, by tomorrow. DR.. Allen stated to
Mr.. Wharton his entire disbelief in the truth
