introduced in the House yesterday Dill authorizing
the President to appoint commission of four per-
sons, each from the War. Agriculture. Post

and report upon the feasibility and desirability of
constructing boulevard from the Atlantic to the
Pacific oceans. The bill was introduced at the re-
quest of DR.. John T. Nage. the chief of the Bureau
of Vital Statistics. of New-York. The commission
said Mr. Dunphy is to report upon the cost Of the
boulevard, the character of the roadbed. and the
several States through which 1t viii from
New-York to the Pacific slope. DR.. Nage's idea
is to make the proposed boulevard similar to that
of the Western Boulevard in New-York City, with
roadway either side and promenade through
the centre. shaded by trees. Mr.. Dunphy roughly
estimates the cost at 100000. Aside from the
utility of the roadway. II would AFFORD employ

as one Of the chief considerations OF the plan.
