from the District s45O.GG. at the rate of
$4,000 a year. commencing July /, 1901.
This is in accordance with the act of 1891
which provided for the elimination of the
3. and .. grade crossings, without ref
erence to the union station project No
work was done under that act, which was
amended last February in the terms of the
union station enactment. Work was not
actually started on the Improvement until
the beginning Of the current fiscal year Thus
the District is charged on the books with
$3o0,@O0 III bonus money for work not in
augurated. and if these installments are
exacted on that basis the District Will have
gift to the B. ana o. ahead of time 1t
is bad enough to compel the District to bear
its share of the cost of this work. 1t is
worse to require it to pay for this. with
other permanent improvements, on cash
basis. But it is intolerable that it should be
thus compelled to pay actually in advance
No more striking commentary on the alb
surdity of the present fiscal policy OF Con-
gress toward the District could possibly
be had than this single item.
