Mr. Adolf Cluss, as expert of the House Committee on the District ot Columbia, sub- mitted the following report to Chairman Buekner Saturday: “I bave the honor to AY the prac- Uce of the late Board of Public Works in paying for work connected with the grad! of streets. Earth was measured simply as excavation except in cases where no snuffi- cient quantity for aheavy embankment was available from the streets. If authority had been given to obtain the same from vate sources, and it was proved to be a > allowance would be made in tL for aiff ined from ference. Mi excavation was notat the of thecon- tra was the designated dum; be charged to con’ ly ceeding difficult of control. Isl, the original list of board was It incinded: ‘Grading, 20 cents per cubic yard, and earth tobe de without extra charge. Invest. st, Be 1436.) The long hauis mostly required this provision impracticani » and on Jan. 22, 1872, the board “ordered that the price of grading be fixed from and after this date at 3) cents per ecubie yard, bavling rot to exceed 200 feet. For each additional 100 feet, 4 cent additional will be allowed.” Excessive quantities were subse- jnently allezed in court, before the investi- ating committee of 1x72 and elsewhere, to have been “measured” up in raany cases, and these allegations were in a number of adopted. cases sustained by the remeasurements of J: | Blickensderfer, jun., the eminent Onio engi- neer, called in by the joint investigation committee of 1874. The attention excited by the subject caused computations to be made by. the engineer of the board of public works in the spring of 1573 as to the real cost of haul. Taese were based upon the distance a cart horse can walk and draw in a working day, vpon the cubic contents of acart,and aremuneration of $2.50 per diem for horse, cart and driver. They showed that the established rate was inadequate. Hence the engineer, in order to be evabied to enforce bonest measurements, recommended the price of hauling to be raised from half a cent to 14 cent which was approved in July, 1873. Difficulties arising in cases where grading was commenced in ISt2 and finished in 1573, the auditor recom- mended in September, 1873, that the new price be applied to the whole jobs in such cases. The verification of the quantities to be charged being in those cases under the control of the departments, the evgineer in- dorsed the auditor, 8nd bis recommendation was adopted. The operation of tils rule, bowever, was excluded in all cases of still- pen contracts, where the grading and baul bad been finally measured in 1872, and sim- ply surface work or sewers were done in isi3. This was done because the grading for those — cases had been measured mostiy upon arbi assumptions, and the quan- Uties obtained were not basod uj @n accu- rate survey of the ground, as it was before the grading was commenced. com, sation thus allowed was found to be ample, and the payments had all been in cash. The reversion of thisaction by the board of audit, or its subordinates, in 1875, even without taking any testimony from these who guarded the public interest in 1873. is difi- cult to . and was & hazardous enter- prise after the lapse of three years. In filling the city canal the mode in vogue for having the public grounds brought up to the ground was primarily adopted. A com tion, five cents per cart load of one- th: of @ cabie yard, in the case was held Re an ag for rig “ hero Surplus earth to dispose of, to dump the same into the canal. Thesame allowance was made to street contractors who were at that time required to deposit their earth Without extra charge, but were put to un- reasonable expense by the increased length of haul. After a com) tion for han! was allowed the charges for the dump in the canal became illegitimate. Allowances may bave been made subsequently by oversighi, or for speciaireasons. But whenever such & | case was regularly brought up or detected it was promptly rejected. Tnere was one ex- ception to this rule, and the cases relied upon in 1875 as precedents for reopening these old aceovnts are probably of this class. In the price paid for patent pavements two feet of grading was included, and whenever tbis eath was dumped in the canal the com- pensation for such deposit was yet admissi- ble fora while. Before long the claim was successfully carried to have the haul al- lowed for such earth exeavated without | The Unton Revival Meetings.

In this com- mepery state of the case the reopening of e old accounts in 1975, resulting in heavy allowances for dumps cannot fail to have been one-sided affairs. Another class of cases is that of streets ® aded from I>72 to Ist3 and remeasured as “Spal” in the fall of 1874,or even 1875, be- cause, it is claimed, the contractor did not ase for the final measurement at an earlier date. These cases occur on Table 3, far- nished by the District Commissioners to your committee on April 5th, and are, per these records, virtually confined to the eon- tracts of Albert Gleason. Deputy Engineer Oertly measured these streets in the sum. mer of 1873, as “final to date.” The pre- scribed percentage to be retained on unfin- ished contracts has not been withheld, hence these weve, prima facie, final measurements Where no work is proved to have been done afterwards.

There is no fixed statute to govern special elections, the law Sf igo only providing for the open- ing of the registration books before the regu- lar elections. Fish REPORT.—The catch of fish at all the shores continues to fail off, and most of the Oshermen regard the season of 1576 as about over; others, however, still entertain ho} of @ heavy run about the middle of this month. The large schools of herring from which the heavy catch of the early part of this week was made did not reach the upper shores, thu: modem | that there could not have been a large ly of fish behind them. Since yesterday's report there have been re- ceived only 5,100 shad and 86,000 herrings. Shad sold at from $17 to $20 ver hundre3: herrings from 10.50 to $12 pér thousand.
