Evening star., 1914-07-17

the expense was met by the munich
pality out of a special appropriation.
Under the Borland provision the ques
ton has come up as to whether or not
the District can go ahead with its re.
surfacing program without advertising
the work or giving some sort of a hear
ing to the property owners who will be
called upon to bear a part of the ex-
pense.
Ask for Instructions.
Engineer department officials are un-
certain as to what they should do. and
have asked the Commissioners for in
structions. 1t is not unlikely that the
matter will be referred to the corporation
counsel for an opinion.
The total cost of the resurfacing work
contemplated is estimated at approxi
mately SSGO.OOO-
| Though the appropriation bill has now
received the signature of the President.
the engineer department will not proceed
with the resurfacing work until the ques-
ton of what notice shall De given prop
|erty-owners has been settled. This may
occasion a delay of several weeks
1t is anticipated that owners. in many
instances, will protest against streets
being resurfaced at this time on the
ground that the improvement is not need
ed. In this event the department may
be required to materially revise its sched-
ule.
