ings of the United States government,
was $16.431,0 46. which was an increase

preceding year Of $1.646,sS7; the num-
Der of permits issued was 10,937, an in
crease over the previous year Of 1882.
The number of dwelling houses construct
ed was 2,023. a decrease OF IA over the
preceding year; the number Of apartment
houses erected was 70. an increase OF 1
over the preceding year. The number of
business buildings erected was 800 an
increase of 113 over the previous year.
The total number of new buildings erect
ed was 2546, an increase Of 1873 over the

The distribution Of the value Of these
improvements, including repairs to exist
ing buildings, Is as follows:

Grade Crossings Eliminated;
Improvement of R0adWays

The work Of eliminating grade crossings
and the Improvement Of the plaza in
front Of the new Union railroad station
provided for by acts Of Congress approved
February IL, 1901. and February %, 1903
has practically been completed. and no
further appropriation will be asked for In
the next fiscal year.
Phe final work was the paving OF the
roadways in the plaza and the intersect.
ing streets. and this has been accom-.
plished. The paving used was shee,
asphalt and asphalt block.
While the acts Of Congress above re.
ferred to provided for the eliminating O,
grade crossings within the city limits. and
In q small piece Of territory lying to. the
north thereof. there were still left sew.
eral grade crossings on much-trayele6
highways. such as Benning road, Ceda,

granted to eliminate the grade crossin,

construction of a suitable subway ani

item Of $4,000 for the eliminating of tn,

the highswater line along the shores. 1t
Is important that this hiEh-water line
be accurately determined by an official
survey. as 1t Is receding rapidly. The es-
timaded cost OF making this survey is
$1,000, and the surveyor recommends an
immediate appropriation for the purpose.
The value of having such a record is
appareht, as 1t would prevent expensive
iawsults and much delay In the future
development Of the park system along
the Eastern branch.
Trees and Parking.
The number of trees planted IN streets
curing the year was 1890. This was an
increase of thirty ever the preceding
year The number of trees removed was
I'lol' making net increase of trees dur
ing the year of 1,S79. The number of
trees on streets. parking. and, in school
yaras at the close Of the fiscal year was
'a,oot. Inc mileage Of streets planted
W.. Win trees Is $3.50. an increase during
tne year or about six miles. This mileage
was injured on a basis of $50 trees per
n1lIe. The amount expended in the plant
ing and care of trees was 81, 67460.
me varieties OF trees planted were ash,
elm. g1ngko. linden, Norway and sugar
NAPLES nap,es, red. pin; and pyramidal oaks,
SIX thousand seven hundred and sixty
eight seedlings were planted in the nurse
ries.
one OF the most interesting features of
the work under this head during the wear
was the planting of trees around the
plaza at the Union station and the i'm
proFements on the isles Of safety on the
PIAZZA. Ihlrty-two pin-cak trees were set
out IN the continuous space at the outer
cage or the isles of safety and the con-
tinuous tree space was sown with grass
because of the limited funds approp,i-
ated TOT the care of trees and parking, it
1as not been possible effectually to keep
down the growth of weeds in the parking
IN SUBURBAN streets. For the same rea-
son the continuous tree spaces between
the curb and sidewalk have not been
given proper attention These unpayed
trips are provided for the express benefit
II the trees and should be sowed in
srass. both for the benefit of the trees
nd for the improved appearance of the
streets which would thereby be created.
Generally speaking. the amount appro-
DRAFTED for the care of trees and parking
'ias been insufficient
1t is the intention Of the Commissioners
20 ask for an increased appropriation
Nor the next fiscal year. While the
growth OF the District has been continu-
JUS, and the extension Of tree service has
had to keep up with this growth. the
sums appropriated for the planting and
maintenance of trees has practically re-
NAMED at the same figure for many
wears.
