UP TO NACEL TO WORK
FOR STREET REPAIRING
More important Improvements
in Way of Commissioners
Support of His Demand.

If Secretary Nagel of the Department
of Commerce and Labor desires a new
paving on the street in. front of his 14th
street offices he will have to bestire him.
self in much the same manner as, dc
members Of citizens associations and
dwelIers in suburbs under the same cir
cumstances.
According to a report drawn up by
Capt. Mark Brooke. assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, no item for the re-
paving of 14th street between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and F street has been in
cluded in the estimates for Congress. Sec
rotary Nagel says. however, that the
present condition of the street causes
such a rumble of noise that he can't
do business over the telephone.
Congress Baked Repairs.
This is not the first time the people in
the department have complained because
the granite block on that street makes
rumble as if the place were paved with
the old-fashioned cobblestone. In 1905
the Commissioners were asked to do
little something for that street, but
Congress cut out the item.
The Secretary wrote to the Commits
SiOners recently:
will you do me the kindness to ad-
wise me of the present status of the mat
ter?'
THE noise caused by loaded vehicles
passing over this portion of 14th street.
which is Immediately in front of the
main building occupied by the depart
ment, is almost intolerable. There are
frequently periods during the day when
the use of the telephone in the front
suites is practically out Of the question.
and the business of the department is
seriously retarded.
If there is anything which can be done
which would relieve this condition l
would appreciate it,
More Important improvements.
In reporting. Capt. Brooke says that no
item will go to Congress for this work,
unless something special is done, and
also:
I'm the absence of specific authority,
there is no way by which the street can
be repaved, unless the whole cost of the
work is borne by the abutting property.
The objectionable conditions complained
OF are appreciated, but the same c0ndi-
tiOnS exist in the case of certain other
streets paved with granite block, the need
for whose removal is considered more
urgent.
An item for the removal of this block
was included in a former estimate of this
department. but was not retained by the
committees in Congress. II might be
practicable to include a supplemental item
at the time the estimates are taken up by
proved by this office, provided 1t did not
jeopardize the items for the removal of
granite block already included in the
estimates
