THEY CAN REVISE.

Power of the Commissioners Over the Esti-
mates of the Superintendent of Charities.
Some time ago the superintendent of chari-
ties in a letter to the Commissioners. called at
tention to their rulings under the act creating
the Office of superintendent of charities that
they had not the right to modify the annual
estimates made by that official. The superin-
tendent Of charities called attention to the fact
that contingencies might arise in which this
would be a question of considerable import
ance. and suggested that the opinion of the
assistant attorney for the District be called for
upon the question. Assistant Attorney S. l..
Thomas sent his opinion i'll the matter to the
Commissioners this morning He holds that
the law creating the Office OF superintendent of
charities confers upon the Commissioners the
right to revise that officials annual estimates.

A PERMANENT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS.
A Preliminary Field Party Started Out
the Work Today,

Preliminary Field Party Started Out on
the Work Today.
The first work under the new bill providing
for permanent system Of highways was begun
today by the engineer department. While
the Commissioners have not as yet decided
upon any definite plans for the extension of
city streets, it is the policy Of the
engineer depar TINT nt which will have immedi-
ate charge of the work to place three engineer
ing parties in the field and give each one
charge Of section. For instance, one party
will look after the extension of the streets in
the east, another in the west and a third in
the north. This plan will extend the streets
in the different frontier sections gradually.
This morning a preliminary field party
started out for the purpose of paving the
way for the regular field parties when the
Commissioners commence regularly to do the
work. The party sent out this morning will
make a survey Of 18th street first, then
Connecticut avenue and lastly Rhode Island
avenue. A map will be prepared showing the
lines of the extensions which 1t is believed will
greatly assist the new field parties when they go
into the field
