missioners for the support of the District
government for the next fiscal year, and
tc transmit them to Congress in the reg
ular book of estimates" without comment
other than a brief statement to the effect
tlat owing to his lack Of personal knowl-
edge on TIE subject he is unable to pass
judgment on the merits of the estimates,
Individually or collectively. In doing this
he but follows the course pursued last year
and previously. 1t therefore appears that
although the estimates are larger than
usual, they will go before the House COM
mittee on appropriations in the form pre-
pared ty the District Commissioners. The
&c neral estimates for the support of the
District have been already published in
full in The Star.
The Street Schedule.
Every property holder and resident of
Washington is interested in the improve
nent of the streets and avenues of the
city. and there is no item of news which
comes from the Commissioners office of
more Importance than the list of streets
which the Commissioners decide upon as
he one most in need of Improvement
This list is compiled only after careful
consideration on the part of the Commits
sioners, and much time is spent in prepar-
iLg the schedule upon which all appropria-
tions for street improvements are based.
In all they ask for s5OO,0O0 for this work.
The Commissioners today completed this
list and sent it to the Treasury Depart
ment to be made a part of their annual
estimates for the support of the District
