ROCKVILLE PIKE,
Project for Improving the Thorough
farc bX MacaLamiziur


Next Wednesday is the time fixed when the
bids for macadamizing the Rockville pike
are to be in the hands of the county COM
missioners. BY law which was passed az
the last session of the Legislature of Mary
land the commissioners of Montgomery
county were authorized to issue S25 ,ooG
bonds, and to use the proceeds to macad-
amize what is known as the old Rockville
Pike road.
In view of the fact that it is one of the
main roads into this city from a fertile Sec
ton of Maryland, whence a great deal of
the market supplies of the city comes, 1t
has long been evident that the roadway
ought to be improved. 1t is now proposed
under this law to grade, regulate and
maeadamize the road for about nine miles,
which comprises the distance from Rock
vile to the bounds of the District.
1t is expected, if contract is made for
the work under the present bids, that the
road will be completed the latter part of
the present year. 1t is stated that one con-
tractor has expressed his willingness to do
the work and to take the bonds in payment.
1t is not believed, however, that the COM
missoners will have any difficulty in dis
posing of the proposed issue.

Suggested by Gen. Butler.

The location at Manassas was suggested
1t is understood, by Major General M. c.
Butler, who says there is plainly of water
near Manassas.
There is Bull run and Broad RIM botb
good streams" he says, where the men
would nave facilities for bathing and fos.
HaShlng their clothes. The confedera re-
army, numbering over 60,000 men was To-
Gated there from early in April until the
close OF August, and ! never heard of any
complaint during all that time of n lack
of water. There Is bound to he moro or
less dirt where so many men are located
no matter how strict the regulations NAV
be, but where there is running water for
all washing purposes the maximum degree
OF cleanliness is possible.
1T would not be safe to locate the camp
upon any part of the upper Potomac" the
general continued, because pollution of
the river and of the drinking water of
Washington would follow. The camp
should never have been located where ii
is, but, considering the number of men
there, do not think the sick list is a large
one. The experts in the discovery of germs
and microbes are likely to discover greater
dangers than really exist, and / think this
has been the case at Camp Alger Still. a
much better location than the present can
be found, and that in the vicinity of Ma
nassas would not only be desirable, but,
as II can be easily reached, 1t seems to me
to be the most practical site that can be
considered"
An effort is being made by some promi-
nent residents of the section to have the
troops moved farther down the line Of the
Southern railroad to Remington, on the
Rappalnannock river. There is more water
there than at Manassas, and, as the dis
tance is not much greater, 1T is possible
that a site upon the Rappahannock may
be definitely determined upon.

Third Brigade Moves Mt Noon.

AS directed in the above order. the vari-
Gus regiments of the I'd Division were
ready to leave camp early this morning.
They were compelled to wait, however, on
the chief wagner of the division, who did
not report with the wagons from st.
Asaph's mule park until after 8 o'clock
This prevented a start before noon, at
which time the regiments of the Sd Bri-
gade. 1st Rhode Island. ID Tennessee and
Sd Missouri, were on the march. The 1st
Brigade. consisting of the 22d Kansas, Sd
New Fork and 10th Indiana, started at 2
O'Clock Two of the three regiments re-
mainirg, the 7th Illinois and 9th Pennsyl-
vania, will leave about O'Clock the other
regime mt of the I'd Brigade, the 4th Mis-
souri,, having been detailed to serve as
division guard.
According to the plans agreed upon by
General Graham and General Davis last
night. the division must march nine miles
today to Burke Station on the Southern
railroad. The day following the division
is expected to march only seven miles,
reaching Bristoe Station, near Manassas
the third day. Colonel V. s. Musk and
Lieutenant Van Dieman, the engineer Off
Ger of the corps and the division, rode
ahead Of the troops in order to select a
suitable camping ground. They will reach
Manassas tonight and will map out the
camp as rapidly as practicable.

VIII Require q Week.

Camp Alger will not be entirely deserted
for at least week, as corps headquarters
and the 1st Division will be unable to set
out for Manassas until after the I'd Di-
vision is well established.
AS indicated in the special order quoted.
the direction from the War Department
came by telegraph. 1t also came most un-
expectedly. In substance it merely direct
ed General Graham to move the I'd Army
Corps lin the direction of Manassas" at
once To do this without an increased
supply of army wagons was a manifest i'm
possibility, and General Graham therefore
decided to send the I'd Division today and
the 1st Division as soon afterwards as the
mule teams can return from Manassas.
Meanwhile corps headquarters, the two di-
vision hospitals and the eight regiments of
the lst Division VIII remain in their pres
ent quarters. Major General Butler said
this morning that he did not think it like
ly that his men would move before next
Tuesday.
There is much discussion as to the mr.
pose OF the order. Some of the officers on
duty at corps headquarters seem to think
II hkely that permanent camp will be
established at or near Bristoe Others
however, incline to the belief that the
troops are merely to be kept in the field
unth the commission appointed for the pur-
pose snail have selected permanent camp
ing ground, presumably either at Mount
Gretna, Pa, OF at Seagirt, N. j. All agres
