PUBLIC UTILITY GROUPS
AID IN NEW PROGRAM
City Expects to Save Large Sums
by Regulating Opening Of
Thoroughfares.

Bids were asked today by the District
Commissioners for street paving, re-
placement and repair jobs estimated to
cost $l,55O,000. This, together with
work already under contract amounting
to 100000, will be the Districts high
way program for the fiscal year 1880.
For the first time this year the an
nouncement of the streets to be paved,
replaced or otherwise treated contains
the dates at which each individual job
is expected to start. This sequence was
arranged by Capt. Herbert c. White
hurst, the Districts co-ordinator and
chief engineer, after consulting the pro-
grams for the working season of all
District departments and public utility
concerns whose duties involve cutting
up street surfaces. This is expected
to save large sums by eliminating heed
less cutting up of streets, as has oc-
CURED hitherto by the execution of
several unrelated programs by the sewer,
water and highway departments and
the telephone. gas, electric and tele-
graph companies.
The work now under contract Is a
holdover from contracts awarded dur
ing the current fiscal year, but not
completed in the last working season.

priation was expended in street WIDEN
