FOR DISTRICT BONDS
The Commissioners Will Recommend the
Issue Of $7,5OO,OOO Worth.
To BE Used In Extending the Sewerage
System and Improvement of Streets
Funds in Local Banks.

At an executive session of the Board OF
Commissioners today the Commissioners
decided upon most important recommen.
dation to be submitted to Congress for in.
corporation in the new District appropria-
tion bill. 1t was to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury to issue bonds, secured by
the District of Columbia, to the extent OF
S.500.OO0. to be issued from time to time
as the occasion presented itself. OF this
amount IS, 1000 is for the extension of the
sewerage system, as recommended by the
sewerage commission June 30, 1880. The re-
naming $2,5OO,0OO is to provide for the i'm
provement Of streets. These bonds are to
bear interest at the rate of per cent per
annum.
1t was also decided to get permission
from Congress to deposit all District funds
In local banks instead Of the treasury, as
Is done at present. By this arrangement
the Commissioners hope to keep the Dis
trict's money in active circulation at home
Under the bond system, If Congress au-
thoriZes it, the Commissioners will not ask
for the entire issuance at once, but will
only ask for the sale of a sufficient amount
at time to defray whatever expenses ac-
crue.
All Of the Commissioners are heartily in
favor Of the scheme, and will do their ut
most to have Congress act favorably there

The populist Senators smelled Of 1t and de-
clared that had it been grown under
alliance influences 1t would have been at
least half as large again.
Todays freak was the petition presented

1t was decided to notify the owners Of
proposed sites through the news columns

lots, and would now like to ascertain the
lowest sum for which they can be bought.
1t is stated that the committee will not
conftne itself to the lots proposed, but will
look over every site which they think
might be available and ascertain from the
owners the value which they put upon the
piece Of real estate which strikes them
most favorably.

committee on public buildings and grounds,

that they would send in their offers at once
stating the size Of the lot, its location and
the lowest price at which the government
can secure 1t. There have been already a

not feel satisfied until they have heard from

Worlds Fair Communications.

The Vice President laid before the Senate

tary Of the Columbian exposition in refer
ence to the joint resolution of Mr. Dur.

managers to confer upon expert workers
and principal producers of exhibits litho-
graphic fac SMILES Of medals and diplomas
The committee Is agreed with the board OF
lady managers that the resolution in its
present form is not satisfactory and should
not pass. The prerogative assumed by the
board of lady managers in taking charge
of the interests of all skilled workmen In
all departments of the exposition did not
seem to the executive committee to be in
harmony with the act of Congress provid-
ing for its appointment and a protest was
filed by the board of directors Of the asso-
ciated American directors. At a meeting
of the executive committee Of the Column
bian commission held September 25 1t was
decided that the resolution was dangerous
to the interests of exhibitors and utterly
inadequate (appropriating only $500 for a
proper recognition of the work Of the arti-
san and for that reason they demonstrated
against 1t and see no reason why the reso-
luton should pass.

Cleaning Out the Fountain.

Five men. armed with brushes. brooms,
sand and polishing stone, set to work this
morning to render the fountain at the west
front Of the Capitol fit to be seen. 1t has
been in a most shabby condition for some
time, owing to the fouling action of the
water Instead of being white It had turn
ed to a muddy green, mixed with brown.
BY noon today, however, the original
white marble had been reached by dint of
fierce scrubbing through the .ncrustations.
Architect Clark hopes to restore the foun-
tain to it's original whiteness some day. The
basin Is peculiarly followed, and has no
outlet save over the brinl, so that the sedi-
ment in the water settles until 1t forms a
compound resembling a Virginia farm more
than q limpid sheet Of water. Fully a
bushel Of good soil was removed today.
