DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
AN UNSAFE TRACK.


Chief Farquhar of the bureau Of yards and
docks has written a letter to the Commissioners
calling attention to the condition Of the navy
yard track outside the yard at the point where
a contractor is putting in a sewer under the
track. He says the contractor has made
a deep excavation up and on each side Of the
track and while it is in that condition it is not
safe for the Baltimore and Potomac locomo-
tives or cars to pass over it. as the ground
is soft and continually caving in. He requests
that the necessary steps be taken to cause a
proper safeguard to be placed under the ties
Of the track to prevent accident.
WANTS THE cATERPnLARs KILLED.
Mr.. n. W. King of No. Oil New York avenue
has requested the Commissioners to employ
two men with necessary implements to COM
piete the destruction Of the caterpillars on the
streets of the park through New York avenue
as the work performed destroying these yermin
a few days ago, though very satisfactory, was
not complete. MIR. King says in conclusion
that the caterpillar is becoming the sub
ject Of more consideration each year in this
city, and as our beautiful trees cannot be pro-
tected from them except by heroic treatment
it il believed that the Commissioners and the
superintendent of public buildings and grounds
would be justified in suspending all of the labor
on the streets and in the parks until this terri
BILE pest is completely annihilated.
CONTRACTS AWARDED.
The Commissioners today awarded the fol-
lowing contracts: To ]. T. Summers. 10000
cubic yards concrete and paving sand at SO
