OPPOSE NEW HIGHWAY
Commissioners Object to Road
From Nebraska Ave-
nue. West.

The amendment to the sundry civil bill
now pending in Congress providing for
the grading and construction Of a mac
adam highway on Massachusetts avenue.
from Nebraska avenue west to the Dis
trict line, does not. meet with the APP
prevail of the District Commissioners.
In a report to Senator Gallinger, chair
man of the Senate District committee.
the District heads state that the esti-
mated cost of doing the work provided
for in the amendment is $4,000, and that
the amount named in the amendment
$25, COO, would not be sufficient.
The Commissioners do not believe that
there is any immediate public necessity
for the Improvement of this avenue, either
as a main thoroughfare or to serve the
very sparsely settled portion of the Dis
trict through which it passes states the
report There are no improvements
abutting on this portion Of the avenue
and practically none in the vicinity which
are not now served by existing improved
streets or roads
1.-The Commissioners advise against the
adoption of the amendment, and believe
that this proposed Improvement should
receive consideration only In the esti-
mates submitted annually by them to
Congress- They will give the matter con-
sideration in the preparation of their next
estimates.
