The Street I,uproyemept Schedule.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
have desire to be very precise and ex-
acting about reporters statements. but l can
not consent. seemingly. to aequiesce in your re-
port Of my interview with the District Commits
sicners today.
BY the statements and admissions of the Com
missioners il Was clearly shown that often four
streets had been dropped from the schedule as
originally estimated, TO reduce the estimated
amount, 5000. below the amount then already
appropriated therefor. Two other streets ag-
gregsting Slj.450. were also deprived of any
benefit OF the appropriation. making a loss to
our streets OF sls.5OG in that single item of ap-
preparation for tic fiscal wear 1890. OF the
Sil5.4Ij appropriated tie Commissioners claim
10 have expended on tie streets embraced in
said schedule only $l06. or. ~. and ther also
admit that on a single one OF the streets thus
improved -s.SS".65 were expended in excess Of
their estimate therefor-mainly in the purchase
of granite curb not estimated for-mOre than
enough 70 have improved either one of the two
streets thus cut of from any benefit of the APP
preparation. which would have been ample for
both of them if properly expended. The Com
missiOners admit that the sum of 1888 80
was expended in the purchase of curb. not con-
tempEted in the estimates, and that 1891. "A
thereof was for curb now on hand and, of
course, to be used for other improvements than
those for which the money was expressly APP
propriated- In my remarks 1 characterized
the transaction Illegal. but Col. Robert
took exception to the nae of that word
promptly withdrew il merely to save time and
escape u quibble. Bot l made no statement
that Is not true and believe the facts clearly
show a diversion Of funds unwarranted by law
