Measure Opposed
By Commissioners

Regarding the Improvement of other
thoroughfares as of greater importance,
the Commissioners sent to Congress to-
day an unfavorable report on the bill
introduced by Senator Page of YER
mont to provide for the grading and
improving of Pennsylvania avenue
southeast from Bowen road to the Dis
trict line.
In their estimates for the fiscal year
1918, the Commissioners included list
of sixty-fve county roads and suburban
streets which are considered more
worthy of improvement at the present
time. At the time this list was made
up the question Of including Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast was considered.
ut is understood the State of Mary
land proposed to construct a road to
meet Pennsylvania avenue southeast at
the District line in order to provide a
more direct access to the city. When
this Is done there will be greater neces-
sity for improving Pennsylvania avenue.
than exists at present." the Commits
sioners say in letter to Senator Gal
linger.
In q report on the bill introduced by
Congressman LObeck, of Nebraska, for
paving G street southeast, the Com
missioners say that an item for this
improvement is already included in the
District appropriation bill.
