Martin \ Curtain and others have
filed protest with the Commissioners
against the proposed manner of paving
jackson Street. between North Capitol
and First Streets northeast.
c. l.. Hunt, the Computing Engineer. in
reporting upon the matter, states that the
so-called jackson Street referred to is
not a street but an alley. thirty feet
wide. and he states that it is being paved
as such under the assessment system
providing for the pavement Of alleys. Mr
Hunt states that old brick sidewalks
exist in this alley. but he SAYS that in
the paving work in progress IT Is not
proposed to retain them but to carry the
modern alley pavement To the alley lines.
This construction. Mr. Hunt says, com
mends itself to his office as best, espec-
tally from the sanitary point OF view,
and he recommends that il be not
changed The Commissioners have ap-
proved the recommendation
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-03-22

This, he says, necessitates the action rel
alive to the curbing recommended above
in the way of raising the curb 10 the
proper grade. The Commissioners have
approved the recommendation.

posal to the Commissioners to grade Thir-
ty-sixth Street between L Street and New
Cut Road for $3.50.
Morris Hacker, Of the Engineer Depart
ment, in reporting upon the proposal. rec
ommends that it be accepted. He states
that the price using the bidders figures.
is - cents a cubic yard. MIR. Hacker
states that his own estimate of the
grading is 100 cubic yards. which
would bring the price down to 2D6 cents
lie informs the Commissioners that there
is surfacing of Old macadam on the
street. which. If the street is graded. he
recommends that the bidder be request
ed to save and replace ON the street when
the grading is completed. This recon-
mendatiun has received the approval oil
