EXTENDING N. Y. AVENUE.
Curve Proposed Where IL Crosses
the Railroad Tracks.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived communication from William H..
Brown. chief engineer OF the Pennsylvania
Rsaroad Company in which he makes GER
tain suggestions relative to the proposed
extension Of New York Avenue from Flor
ida Avenue TO the Bladensburg Road.
Mr.. Brown calls attention 10 House bill
So. which provides for this extension, and
asks that It be so amended as to make a
better junction with the new line of
railroad in connection with the union ter-
minal system.
Mr Brown asks that New York Avenue
be curved around parallel with the new
line Of railroad where the avenue strikes
5 street to the right of way OF the old
Baltimore and OHIO Railroad and then
along the old right OF way back to the
original line Mr.. Brown says that such
an nrrangement ould save the expense to
his company OF building a long and eX-
pensive bridge across the avenue at an
angle. and he thinks it would be better
for the purposes OF traffic.
The Commissioners have taken the mat
ter under adsisement and will inform the
company of their views upon the subject
when the bill referred to is acted on.

POLICEMEN TO EXERCISE.
Crossing Guards Must Keep Moving.
Sny Commissioners.

To obviate any further misunderstand-
ing as to the duties of street-crossing
policemen, Major Sylvester, by direction
Of the District Commissioners, has issued
the following order through the various
captains and lieutenants OF the depart
ment:
That the duties of the special police
men at street railroad crossings are here
by defined as follows:
''To see generally that all police regu-
lations are enforced.
ITO do everything in their power TO
avoid accidents, rendering whatever as
sistance may be necessary in case an acci-
dent should occur
ITO aid pedestrians in safely crossing
at crowded thoroughfares, and answer
civilly such questions as may be asked
them regarding location of streets. ho-
tells, public buildings, etc.
Also. special policemen at street rail-
way crossings should not confhe them
selves to any one corner. but move about
from corner to corner. giving themselves
such exercise in this respect as will pre-
vent Illness; prevent reckless riding and
driving and congestion of the street by
pedestrians waiting for cars; maintain
peace and good order at their respective
posts: and in case of an emergency call
for police service within a reasonable dis
tance from their posts officers having
police powers should respond.

TIME FOR CONTRACTOR.
Extra work Allowed for on an En-
pired Agreement.

The Superintendent of Repairs has for
warded to the Commissioners a proposal
Of w. E. Mooney TO change the location
of pump and receiver in the boiler Of the
jefferson School boiler house for the sum
OF S75.
Capt. Chester Harding in charge OF the
Department of Repairs, has forwarded a
statement to the Commissioners relative
to the matter to the effect that the time
of the contract for the construction at
the boiler house has expired, and that the
contractor is completing the work with
the cost of inspection charged TO him.
Captain Harding states. however, that
the work proposed with reference to the
changing of the pump and the pipes is
extra work. ard that the contractor
should not be held responsible for its eN-
