And it be paved with either one or the oiher improved pavements now coming into general use. If stone is to be used, the Belgian pave. ment possesses the greatest advantace, but should one of wood be preferred, either the Nicholson, Ream, Fayette, Siaiferd or Stowe will prove to be as near pertection as itis pos- sible to construct ‘hem. The expense ot paving might be equitably proportioned between the munici and general governments. General Micbler calls attention to the im. provements suggested by the completion of the north wing of the Treasury ent. Itis to be that the site of that building is so low, and that in consequence the fine effect of the elegant fronton the north is considerably impaired, He refers to the recommendation of Mr. Mullett to condemn a@ strip of land sixty-one feet. wide on 15th street and remoye street a x distance frem the building, or that the grades of 15th street and that portion of the avenue on the north, between 15th street and the centre of the President’s House, pe re- duced, as the tepypepea of this magnificent bnilding shonld be as extensive aud beantiful si possible, Similar Prag ace pppllcatale to the streets encompass atent Office Boiling and the Post Ottice Dep: : Seventh street should receive a gradual and easy grade between the northeast angle of the first-named building and Pennsylvania avenue, “appro- din support 6th Stree te, and aleo that part of <th street be- tween F street and the avenue. ‘THE CANAL The Washington Canal has remained in :ba same, if not reduced toa still more filthy and tilent condition, no efforts having been Eade by either the Government or the S Yation to better it.
