DISPOSAL OF CITY REFUSE.

'The collection and disposal OF city re-
fuse has been one Of the long standing
problems with which the Commissioners
have had to contend. In the appro2ria-
ton act for the current year an appropria-
ton of Sis, 900 was made for the collec-
ton and disposal of all kinds of city re-
fuse. and the Commissioners were author
lied to enter into a contract or contracts

1.-THE Commissioners believe thoroughly
In the merit system Of appointments and
promotions in tho District service. which
has been established and maintained BY
the action OF the Commissioners, but ought
to have the formal protection OF an act
of Congress. AS the Attorney General OF
the United States has held that the Presf-
dent is not authorized under the Civil Serv-
ice act to extend the civil service rules
over the District offices, the Commission
ers are constrained to ask once more that
Congress will pass civil service act for
the District of Columbia.
The Commissioners are heartily in SYM
patty with the proposition for the con-
struction of a memorial bridge across the
Potomac River to Arlington Cemetery.
Thew believe that such "a memorial to
American patriotism ought to be erected

Crossings.
Eat last there seem to be good grounds
for hope that steps will be soon ipau-
gurated to improve the steam railroad
situation in Washington. Plans for the
abolition of grade crossings in the
city Of Washington along the lines
Of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn
sylvania railroads were submitted to
Congress at Its last session. and bills to
authorize the proposed changes were in
troduced In the Senate and passed by that
body. 1t is believed that the plans pro-
posed are the most practicable for the
purpose. and it is earnestly hoped that
these highly important improvements may
be authorized by Congress at its next SEES
sion.
During the year the suburban street
railways of the city were rebuilt and re-
equipped and are now giving a better ser
vice than at any other period in their
