ALEXANDRIA NEWS.

ALEXANDRIA, Aug 27.-Mayor Simpson, of
Alexandria, has written TO the District Commits
sioners, asking for the name of any local official
fully qualified in knowledge and experience
to express an expert opinion to the quality
OF gravel found in bank and its suitability for
road and street construction. He has been in
formed that Morris Hacker, assistant engineer OF
the surface division OF the District Engineer De
partment possesses such qualifications.
The above, which appeared in today's Times,
occasioned considerable comment in this city
a,none those familiar with the occurrences which
occasioned the appeal to the Washington authori-
ties for an expert by Mayor Simpson. For several
years past the material used by the city in con-
structing roadways was obtained from a gravel
bank owned by the city near the canal Last
year it was found that the supply from this
source had nearly been exhausted and the city
committee on streets directed the city engineer
to look out Tor another gravel bank Material
was subsequently obtained from a bank in Fair
fax county until the committee, few months
ago. discovered material in bank near the
reservoir which they considered adr.irable for
the construction of roadways. The gravel was
examined by City Engineer Dunn, who pro-
nounced it superior to anything Of the kind which
had been used in this city. Subsequently Acting
City Engineer Corse endorsed the opinion OF Mr..
Dunn, and the committee began the use OF the
material in Gibbon and Commerce Streets Be
fore the work was completed in Commerce Street
there was some complaint that the material be-
ing used not as good as 1t should be-
Mayor Simpson, it is said, shared III the opinion
He convened special meeting OF the council,
and in communication to that body com
planned OF the gravel being used IN building road
ways Under a resolution proposed by Council
man Iawler Councilmen Moore and Kelly and
Aldermen Clarke and Curtin were appointed

and the work being done. At a special meeting
OF the council the special committee submitted
voluminous report in which it was stated that
thorough investigation of the gravel bank and
the work being done by the committee on streets
had been made and that in the opinion Of the
committee mo better more durable material
