Keferred to the Committee on Public Works. Mr. Moore hoped that the protest would be read — the journal, and moved that it be printed. Here were the grades of the city being altered and great damage being done to prop- erty without authority of law. The motion to pis was adopted—yeas 2), pay, Mr. Campbell. Br. Harkness introduced resolution request- ing the Governor to re] 10 the House at bis earliest convenience, by what clause of the organic act and by what appropriation the Board of Public Works bi been authorized to alter the plan of the city of Washington, by directing, at great cost, radical changes to the long established grades of F street north, be- tween ith and 20th streets west, and of lth and 18th and other streets of that vicinity, to the great damage of the costly improvements erected upon the squares fronting on said atreets. Mr. Boswel! urged the adoption of the r tion. It appeared from the protest that the Board of Public Works had no right to attempt to do this work without authority of law, and the Governor ought to be able to answer the inquiry. No bill bad yet been paseed author- izing the work, and be would not give the Board of Public Works the power to opea streets, &c., without authority trom the Legis- jature. Mr. Murray offered as a substitute a resola- tion requesting the Governor to comiuunicate to this House by what authority and what nec +s- sity occasioned a change of grade on +aid street. Mr. Dickson moved «n amendment to the su stitute, ‘‘and what appropriation has been made for the payment of thesame.” Agreed to. ‘Mr. Burgess claimed that the entire control of the streets was placed in the bande of the Board of Public Works by the 2th section of the act of Congress, but that they were required to wait until an appropriation was made. Mr. Harkness eaid that it was not a legal question, but a question of fact. The organic act did not give te the board the entire conirol of the streets, but simply entrusted them with their repair. He charged that the Board of Public Works had assumed prerogatives that belonged to the Cnited States aione. The nights of the citizens were being outraged, and there should not be any delay. The fact wax patent that the work was being done, and the House should know the authority under which it was done. He demanded the toformation in the name of the people of the District of Columbi The people were becoming alarmed, and they should be informed upon the eubject. Mr. Moore said that a vote of reference would be to delay the inquiry while the mischief was being cone. Mr. McKnight’s motion wae lost, and the eubstitute as amended by Mr. Vicksou was adopted.

He was willing to adopt the resolution, if it did not place the House in a wrong ition. - Campbell said the work had been awarded to J. V. W. Vandenburg for €4,50 by the Mayor of the city of Washington. Mr. Moore eaid the whole amount a the city Councils was tat =00, an ed only repairs to the s'reet.
