Appropriation for Current Year.

The appropriation for the current
year for the general work of the Office IS
$l7soO. To this can be added the 50. Oc5
for piats of subdivisions. making sls. SEQ
The $1,000 for re-survey of the Beatty &
Hawkins addition brings the total up
to s2l,sG0. but this latter amount is. of
course, for a special matter It is OBJ
vious, therefore, that the general ap-
preparation Is not yet sufficient to meet
all needs for the year 1904, with it's
reasonably expected increase of work
II should always be remembered that
the net cost of maintenance of this Of
fee is found by deducting fees, which
this year amount to $500. and next
year viii doubtless exceed $4,000. leav-
ing the actual cost sl3.ss0 on the basis
of The estimate presented.

gTess did not provide for the purchase

Duties of Assistant.

''As to the Assistant Surveyor. his
responsibility. practically every wall in
the city proper now being constructed
on lines furnished bv him. ard in {. g
majority OF cases subsequently verified
by him when marked out on footings
The city proper Is his ordinary field Of
work, and the questions continually
coming up require extreme accuracy. and
unusually good Judgment. The admir-
able work of the present incumbent in
systematiziEg the basis Of surveys all
over the city should be duly recognized
while believing that In the general
case ii is better to have the force of
this office on the per diem basis, I do.
however, think that in the case OF
Messrs. Forsyth and Hazep. whose sery-
ice has been so long and so valuable,
they should be placed upon the regular
roll, but ! dc not wish this done at tba
expense of a reduction in total of actual
pay. | think the increased responsibilit-
of Mr.. Hazen ever that of the average
assistant engineer in the District serv-
ice would justify the fixing of his pay a;
Sl,600 on the regular roll, with thirty
days leave. These two gentlemen get
but ten days leave, or one-half the
leave they had years ago.
"A second conIputer is estimated for.
at s2.15 per dieln. for the reason that.
unless the Office work is unusually
slack one computer canDot cover the
work.

Estimate of Expenses.


The estimate for the expenses of HI,
office for the next fiscal year aggregate
S23,6S5, as against s20,927 appropriated
for the current fiscal year
Mr.. LOCKER asks that his own salary be
increased from $4,000 TO $4,000. and a
number of other increases.
He asks for three items of special es-
Inmates, as follows: $1,000 for re-survey
of District boundary line, as per annual
report; $500 for restoration of block
corners, eastern section, rs per annual
report; $500 for purchase of Latimer
collection of field notes.
Explanatory of the several items OF
increase in his estimates for the next
fiscal year Mr. LOCKER submits the fol-
lowing statement:
AS to the Surveyor. the salary recon-
mended is the same as that asked for
by the Commissioners in 1895. at the
time this Office was placed on a salary
basis and fees abolished. At that time
the amount fixed by Congress was 81, ,000
but since then the personnel of the Of
fee has increased to three times the
original number. the amount of receipts
from ices turned in to the Collector of
Taxes 10 two and One-half times the
amount in '95. the work Of every descrip-
tion turned cut is probably four times
rs great. and in many ways the work
and respoDsi iDility OF the head of the Of
iice have increased at a rate represented
approximately by 80 per cent in each
year over the preceding for the past
four years. II is. therefore, thought not
improper that. under the present condi-
tions. the head of the office should be
paid as much as was deemed by the
Commissioners the proper amount in
1895. when none OF the growth above
noted had-begun. II seems merely fair
business proposition.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
SURVEYOR LOCKER

Esition of this Office which is believed 10
| be heartily reciprocated by the officer
in charge OF Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Two projects still remain. wherein
| special surveys are necessary to secure
| good results. The first of these is a
| complete clearing out of the entire
| boundary line of the District. much of
| which has been overgrown with heavy
! timber, and obscUred in various ways
| for century. An appropriation of
S1.500 is needed for this. which should
include the placing of monuments on
each side OF all roads intersected by the
District line. and also at all salient
points of hill and valley. TO enable this
important line to be easily picked up at
| any time. and followed from point to
point.
This matter is important in the cap
ture of fugitive criminals, etc The
other object is the restoration of the
original monuments at the corners of
the blocks of the extreme eastern sec
tiOn of the city. these points having
been lergely destroyed during the civil
war. This would cost about 1000. One
or both of these matters should be pro-
yided for at the coming session of Con-
gress.
~ renew my urgent appeal for action
determining the true status of the East
ern Branch waterfront. | do not know
to what extent the matter of property
right in this locality will be taken up
in connection with the survey author
lied by the last Congress, to be made by
the War Department, but presume that
this survey will relate chiefly to the
question of deepening of the channel.
and the reclamation OF shoals adjacent
therto."

from the chief Office of the Italian
Barque I-incelles, Pensacola, Fla,
writes:
81 have suffered for several wears
with chronic catarrh of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiving the least benefit. Through
one of your pamphlets began the use
OF Peruna, and two bottles have en-.
tireiy cured me. recommend Peruna
to all my friends. 10. BertOletto.
In catarrh of the stomach, as we'll
as cactarrh of any other part of the
body, Peruna is the remedy. AS has
often been said, if Peruma will cure
catarrh in one part, it will cure catarrh
in any other part of tire body.
Catarrh is catarrh whel ever it is To-
Gated, and the remedy that will cure it
anywhere will cure it everywhere.
If you do not receive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the uss of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case, and he
will be pleased 10 give you his valuable
advice gratis.
