He Protests Against an Alleged
Waste of Improvement Funds.
The communication which was sent to
the District Engineer Commissioner By
Major G.. A. Arms relative to the grading
OF Albsmarle Street, and in connection
with which the writer claims to have been
misrepresented is as follows:
Il protest against the further waste of
funds appropriated for the Improvement of
Albemarle Street, and call your attention
to the incompetent management in grad
ing said street. II called your attention
verbally to the dirt being dumped down
near the branch, where it is likely to be
washed away, unless a culyert is built
over it. There, are places where the dirt
can be put that will be an advantage to
the street as well as to the property ad-
joining it.
Il am confident that careful investiga-
tion will convince you. or any business
man, that twG-thirds of the money appro-
priated for that street has been, wasted,
as there has been sufficient money appro-
priated to have fully completed it from
Connecticut Avenue to Grant Road, Under
proper management. Having dedicated and
donated the greater part Of said land to
the District, and SO far having been de-.
prived of the benefits to which l am en-
titled. on account of failure and neglect
to grade and complete said street, feel /
have perfect right to seek redress and
try to prevent any further waste of ma
terial and money through ignorant and in
competent men whom you appear to place
in charge of it,
