N. PACIFIC KY. ADDS FLEET 10 ROLLER BEARING LOCOMOTIVES

First of a fleet of ten mammoth locomotives. completely equipped wi, roller bearings. is now. in operation on the Northern Pacific Railway, hauling the crack North Coast Limited train. The entire fleet of ten represent an investment of $1 1.200,00 and it is expected all will be in commission by January 1.
 Adoption of the roller bearing principle for these locomotives is the result of many months exper'- mentation with locomotive No III, built by the Timken Corpora ton and purchased iy the Northern Pacific. Practical operation of this engire demonstrated that roller bearings reduce maintenance costs and increase ease of operation. Al -, ~ Coast Limited Pullman's din 'n@ ears and observation cars ar-

able funds for the reclamation and de-
velopment of the Anacostia Flats will

neer, reported the AnacoStia project as
1872 per cent completed During the
coming fiscal year he recommends ap-
preparations for work as follows:
Dredging, SIS 900: trenching and levee
construction, $4,000; sea-wall founda-
tions, $4,000; masonry sea wall, $40 900;
effluent conduit, $4,000; labor gangs on
levees, $4,000; supervision of dump fills,
$4,000.
The Government has expended, up to
June 80, 1888, $3,386,75 in develop
ing the Anacostia section in Southeast
Washington. A total of S137,47258 un-
expended as of that date will be spent
in furtherance of the project during the
remainder of the present fiscal year.
The controlling depth of the river be-
low AnacoStia Bridge in March, 1888,
was reported as 2l.5 feet, with a width
of 300 feet, with varying depths in other
sections to the Benning Bridge, where

forwarded to the Senate and House
District Committees a favorable report
on a proposed measure authorizing the
District to sell the old Potomac School

street southwest between D and E

The measure was considered at the
past session of Congress and state
ment on the proposal was requested
from the Commissioners by Chairman
Mary T. Norton of the House District
Committee.
The Commissioners said the property
IS located in the heart of the South
west wholesale market area and that
since it is no longer needed for present
or future school use, or for other mu-
nicipal purposes, it should be sold. The
property. which has an assessed value
of S24.311. has an area of 5,837 square
feet. Under the proposed legislation,
it would be sold by the District to the

appropriate fund of $5O000 to cover
the cost of the construction Of the
large addition to Casualty Hospital
was disapproved today by the Commis-
SionerS.
The Commissioners, in sending an
unfavorable report on the bill to the
House District Committee. quoted the
Board of Public Welfare declaring that
it would be against good public policy
to appropriate public funds for the
erection or repair of private hospitals
or the payment Of debts of private in
stitutions
In approving this position, the Com
missioners said the building for which
the hospital incurred an Indebtedness
was not constructed under supervision
of the Board of Public Welfare or of
the Commissioners, but was a private
enterprise. They pointed out that the
relations of the District to Casualty
Hospital were simply those of a con-
tractual nature to take care of emer-
gency cases, and that there was no OBJ
legation on the part of the District to
provide funds for any new buildings
