to say of the passage by the House of tho

Colonel John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner Of the District: Mr.. c. B. Hunt,
the District computing engineer, and Mr.,
Charles Moore, clerk of the Senate District

the duties OF his detail as member Of the
District board.
Colonel Bfddle is preparing the report
conner, assistant to the Engineer Commits
sioner. in charge Of the surface division OF
the department.. and Mr.. Hunt, the comput-
ing engineer. Much Of the extensive work
done upon the subject in the way Of COM
putations Of cost has fallen upon Mr.. Hunt
and the part he has played in assisting the
Commissioners in their consideration Of the
subject has been no small one in any re-
spect.
At the conference yesterday in the Quaker
city the details OF the plans were carefully
gone over. 1t was probably the final con-
sultation between the District authorities
and the railroad officials prior to the MAX
ing OF the Commissioners report. Agree
mens were arrived at on all points, it is
stated. The information cleaned by the
Commissioners in their study Of the whole
subject, and especially the cost, 1t Is stated.
is for the benefit Of the Senate District
until that committee has received the re-
port.
