Do Not Justify Present Action.

Mr.. Justice Harlan Of the United States
Supreme Court recently invited the atten-
ton Of the District Commissioners to cer-
tain cracks in the asphalt pavement on
Euclid place which have lately appeared,
suggesting that early attention to the mat
ter would prevent the water from escaping
through the surface of the ground and
further injury Mr.. c. B. Hunt, the COM
putting engineer of the District. to whom
the matter was referred by the Commits
sioners, says an examination shows that
the cracks referred to are not such as to
Justify present action, as experience shows.
he states that no advantage is gained but
rather the contrary, by making repairs un-
der such circumstances. He promises that
the pavement shall be carefully watched.
and that as soon as the best judgment of
his office indicates repairs are needed they
will be promptly made.
