Tells of Framing Estimates.

He gave a long outline of the methods
employed BY the Commissioners in pre-
pairing their recent estimates for submits
sion to Congress. stating that every sec
tion had been given consideration. and
In number of cases they had made
visits to the various sections to become
personally familiar with the desired i'm
proVelnentS. lie said that from this per-
son2i inspection they found that the re-
quests OF the citizens were fair and i'm
many cases much needed. one of MS
most forcibie remarks was:
None of the improvements will result
TO advantage To any speculative real es-
tate dealers. and intimating that in some
cases this had been the ease. every
benefit the people" he said. In this re-
Gard ne called attention to the fact that
il was the purpose OF the board to Sc
cure street improvements for the squares
that were built up or practically built Up.
He said that he felt that improvements
should go first where the people already
lived, and not in places where there was
prospect only OF future development
Ia connection with the estimates he
stated that he had held conferences with
members of. the. subcommittee OF the APP
preparations committee of the House. and
from their remarks predicted that pracIi
cafiy all of the improvements requested
and desired would be granted. He told of
visit the Commissioners had made with
the members of this subcommittee the
past week to various sections of the city
and said members Of the subcommittee
were heartily in favor of the plan of
placing the improvements where they
would do the most good.
