The Commissioners have addressed a

appropriation bill for paving Florida ave-

ton that the property owners be required
to place sidewalks in front of their prop

be at variance with the system establish
ed by law, and they would not recommend
such a change in the established system.
Referring to the proposition to pave Flor
ida avenue from Connecticut avenue to
18th street, the Commissioners state that
the proposed work is highly desirable. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 will be required
for the pavement.
Wants to Know.
NJ. L. Hallett of 1912 Goth street writes to
the Commissioners today asking IF the
Metropolitan railroad owns the city, and if
not, why is it not compelled to accommo-
date the citizens?' He says there were no
cars running on the Boundary line after
10 o'clock yesterday morning, and in the
afternoon they were only running at in
tervals of thirty minutes. Continuing, he
says:
II am told they have perfect monopoly
of this part of the city, for which they pay
nothing, act as they please, ard stop for
a few inches Of snow. Is there no redress?
Is it not in your power to enforce service?
If not where is the remedy?' The matter
has been referred to the engineer depart
ment for investigation and report.
