coEoct daily, including Sundays, for pc
riod of five years, beginning December !,

the Commissioners of said District, and

sary to prevent the collection OF dead am am

The matter of the collection and dis
posaI of dead animals under this con-
tract is in my opinion, in the same cate
CORY as garbage, in reference TO Which
had the honor TO advise you January =
IF the Commissioners deem it advisa-
BILE to prevent others than the WashlnS-
ton Fertilizer Company from collectlhS
dead animals the object can De atlaiisu l;
by amending article s, section y, OF the
Police Regulations, relating to the trans
Dortation, etc. of dead animals, by add
ing TO said section the following;
. And further provided, that no such
dead animal or part thereof not intended
ia he used for food shall be Transported

uarhert c. Graves and others have pc
titioued the Commissioners that the road
wav of South Carolina Avenue, between
Eleventh and Twelfth Streets southeast.
be retained at its present width, ana that
il be paved with asphalt block.
c. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer, IN
reporting upon the petition at the request
of the Commissioners, has informed the
Board that sound public reasons require
the narrowing of the roadway referred TO-
He also states that the reasons advanced
for a contrary procedure were carefully
considered when the decision TO narrow
the roadway was reached. With refer
ence to the trees being located some dls-
tance from the curb line, Mr.. Hunt thinks
that this need not be considered serI-
ous objection, as the parking line need not
necessarily be changed. MIR. Hunt states
further that when 1t becomes necessary
to make the Improvement IN the avenue
from Tenth to Eleventh Streets the same
width of roadway, sidewalk, etc, will be
adhered to.
