The Commissioners yesterday had two
communications under consideration rela-
tive to the proposed establishment of a

One of them was from Worthington
Dorsey. of 1898 Sixteenth Street northwe St

for the establishment of such a cemetery
ii will seriously affect the value OF the
surrounding property, and would prove OBJ
noxious to those living in the neighbor-
hood. AS property holder adjacent to

dent Of Brookland. Mr.. Dorsey asks that
the Commissioners refuse the request OF
the Franciscan friars to establish a ceme-
terry on the grounds of the monastery.
The other communication was from
Sheehy & Sheehy. attorneys of the Fran
ciscan Fathers, by whom the application
was first made, who wrote as follows Re

tabish q private burial place on the

WATER MAIN IN FLINT STREET.
Petition of Brightwood Citizens Will
Ia, (:rnnteH.
513-515 Seventh Street.

The Commissioners yesterday approved
the recommendation of Captain Beach, to
the effect that water main be laid in
Flint Street. Brightwood Park.
The laying of this main has been the
subject of two or three petitions to the
Commissioners within the last few mon tbs.
Before the passage of the Appropriations
bill for the fiscal year of 1901 the Com
missioners did not see their way clear to
laying the MAN, especially because the es-
timated returns from the assessment did
not foot up more than $3l2.5O, when the
cost of the Improvement was estimated at
81, 467. For this reason the project was
reported against until June s, when the
Engineer Commissioner returned the petit
ton to the Superintendent of the Water
Department, calling attention to the pas
sage of Public Act No. 1877. approved June
9 which he thought ought to reverse pre-
yious decisions. This was found to be
the case, and the Superintendent of the
Water Department recommended the lay
ing of the main before the street in ques-
ton should be macadamized in accordance
with the act OF Congress.
Acting on the advice of the Engineer
Department the Commissioners have de-
termined to order the improvement as re-
ouested by the residents of Flint Street.

BIDS TOO HIGH.
The Commissioners Will Rendyertise
for Proposals for Stationery.


The board of the Treasury Department
authorized by law to pass upon the con-
tracts OF the District. recently called the
attention of the Commissioners to the prices
named in the contract for furnishing STA
tionery for the fiscal year of 1901. o. L.
Spalding. Chairman of the board. in let
ter to the Commissioners, states that the
prices OF the lowest bidder for stationery
for the use q. the District for the said
fiscal year are considerably in excess oil
the amounts charged the several execu-
tive departments. and other Government
establishments for similar articles. MI
Spalding further states that the prices ara
in excess of those charged for the current
fiscal year In consequence OF these facts,
the board refuses 10 pass the contract as
awarded, and calls on the Commissioners
for explanations regarding the higher bid
for the coming fiscal year.
In considering the matter Mr.. Ross
moved that the Commissioners proceed to
readyertise for bids to furnish stationery
for the fiscal year of 1901. in which the
other Commissioners concurred. and the
order to advertise for bids for stationery
will be issued.
