CONSIDER AMENDMENTS
COMMISSIONERS PASS UPON
ITEMS IN APPROPRIATION BILL.
Proposed Improvement on Boundary
Of Reno Subdivision-Report on
Other Matters.

The Commissioners today sent several re-
ports to Senator Gallinger on proposed Sen
ate amendments to the District appropria-
ton bill. With regard to the item Of 5000
for the grading, regulating and improve
ment Of Chesapeake street along the south
ern boundary of Reno subdivision, from
Wisconsin avenue to Grant road, the Com
missioners say the street is now known as
South" street, though it is in the line of
Chesapeake street, and its nomenclature
in the amendment should be chesapeake
or South street." On account of the steep
grade between Belt road and Wisconsin
avenue, the Commissioners believe that no
present improvement should extend beyond
Belt road, and the amendment, If passed.
should read, For grading, regulating and
macada mzing Chesapeake or South street
along the southern boundary of Reno sub
division, from Belt road to Grant road.
The estimated cost of the work Is $500
instead of $1,000 as the bill provides. The
land to the south of the existing street
line has been dedicated, but not all of that
to the north. The improvement of this
street is desirable, but in the opinion Of
the Commissioners it should not be improv-
ed ahead of the streets which the Commits
sioners have included in their estimates
to Congress.
Twentieth Street Grading.
The Commissioners report with reference
to. the amendment intended to be proposed
by Mr.. Teller, to grade and macadamize
Goth street from Queens Chapel road to
Brentwood road, $S,OOO that this item was
included in their estimates, and they know
Of no reason to change their opinion as to
its Importance, but invite attention to the
fact that it has been included as a Senate
amendment to that bill.
The Commissioners recommend favorable
action on Senate bill 7211 ITO provide for
the inspection Of the records Of the health
Office of the District of Columbia" and
transmit a copy of a report of the health
officer of the District on the subject.
Needs Of Wisconsin Avenue.
The Commissioners have forwarded to
Chairman McCleary of the House subcom-
mittee on appropriations a communication
received by them from Mr.. J. Nota McGill
respecting the urgency for the Improvement
Of Wisconsin avenue, and add that the chief
engineer of the fire department reports that
a portion of the fire apparatus in respond
ing to an alarm in that vicinity on the 10th
instant was unable to pull the steam fire
engine up the hill on Wisconsin avenue I'M
til a horse was sent back from the hose
carriage: that the steep grade at that point
renders it impossible for the apparatus OF
the fire department to ascend the hill at
much faster gait than walk. and that the
efficiency of the department would be
greatly increased If this very trying grade
should be removed. as proposed.
