AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.
Commissioners Suggest Changes In
Bill for Street Extension.

Bill for Street Extension.
In a report made today to Chairman
BGbcock of the House District committee
on House 1853, providing for the extern
sion Of 17th street in a straight lire from
Florida avenue to Park street, Mt. Pleas
ant, the District Commissioners recon-
nended that the bill be amended in certain
respects, so that, among other things, the
United States shall be required to bear
equally with the District the expense to
be incurred in carrying out the proposed
extension.
With their report the Commissioners for
warded plat showing the location of the
street as named in the bill, and also one
showing the location recommended by
them, which. they state, is in accordance
with their previous recommendations in
connection with the highway extension
plans for the first section.
The Commissioners state the extension
named in the bill will pass close to exist
ing stre9ts in Meridian Hill and Ingleside,
and, besides costing more for the land
taken, will leave narrow strips between
the proposed extension and existing streets
of insufficient depth for building purposes.
The route recommended by the Commits
sioners would, they say, connect 18th
street with Central avenue and widen
that avenue wholly upon the east side,
extending said street in a direct line from
lngleside to Columbia road. This line
will, the Commissioners think, be much
cheaper, both for the purpose of acquir-
ing the land and for OF ening the street, as a
large portion of the route is already in the
possession of the District, and a consider
able part of 1t already brought to ap-
proximate grade. To follow the line
named in the bill. the Commissioners be-
itye, would require the purchase of land
for the full width of the street for the en-
tire distance.
The estimated cost of the extension on
the route recommended by them includ-
ing the land, grading. macadamizin and
improvements, is, the Commissioners state
S1!e9jO. 1t is believed by them that If
the street Is to be opened the expense
should be borne equally by the United
States and the District and If the bill is
to receive the favorable consideration of
the committee. they so recommend.

The Capitol.

If the governor should see fit tC
ask consideration of new capitol,
the time is fast ripening for him
to do SO. 1t was first pointed out
in these dispatches, long be-
fore the meeting of the legis-
lature, that the governor
would ignore this question in his
regular message, but that he
might take it up in special mes
sage after the legislature had been
in session some days. He did
ignore all reference to the building,
of a new capitol in his regular
message. For some days there
has been growing belief that he
would soon send in u special mes
sage on this question. If he
should do so, thtre is nU doubt
about the speedy passage OF the
new capitol bill, if the expressions
of members of the legislature may
be taken for anything. In fact,
some of the members heretofore
TO the erection of new
,tatehouse now say that such a
is absolutely necessary, |
md that the matter should no |
onger be procrastinated. They |
,oint out that the governor said in
us message TO the extra session
hat the old building was danger
