THE PROJECT OPPOSED.
The commissioners Decide 10 Aban-
don Proposed Law.


The project embodied in House bill 5777.
10 create permanent board for the open
ing of streets in the District of Columbia.
has probably received quietus so far as
the Fifty-sixth Congress is concerned.
The bill, similar TO one introduced in
Congress In 1898. provides that the District
Commissioners name a board of three to
serve as special commission for the open
ing and extension Of streets. 1t was ad-
versely reported upon by District Attorney
Duvall several days ago, and Commissioner
Beach has recommended to his associates
that the papers be filed on the ground that
the bill is wholly unnecessary. He says
the subject OF the form Of street extension
bills has been fully considered by the
House Committee on the District Of Colum-
bia, and their views embodied in the bill
already reported 10 the House, for the
opening OF Columbia Road. east of Thir-
Ieenth Street This is regarded by the
committee. says the Commissioner. as a
model bill for this purpose and the one
most likely TO be enacted By Congress He.
therefore, regards il as superiluous to send
20 the committee another measure covering
the same ground.
II is understood that Commissioners
Wight and Ross acquiesce in the view OF
Captain Beach regarding this bill.
