_ CITY AND_DISTRICT. TRE nock EEK TUNNEL, A BIN Providi: ‘Appropriation for the Work to Congress. ‘Tee District Commissiooers have addressed a letter to Chairman Hemphill, of the House District committer, inciosting a bill providing for an ap- Propriation of 080,000 to make the tunnel and Other improvements by which It 18 proposed to de- fect the course of Rock Creek at Lyon's Mills so as toreciaim a large area. In thelr letter the Com- rs of the District of Columbia the honor to submit for your consideration the draft of a bill providing for the improvement Of Kock Creek, a streau Which sep raves (be cities orgetown, During the past Was the subject of a peti Uon signed by many prominent citizens of tue Dis thet, and accordingly che Commissioners nad the honor to invite attention to it in tueir last annual regort and to submit a predminary project for the work. “(he general features of the projected Improve. ment are shown upon the accompanying sketch, It ts proposed to deflect the waiers of the creek through a tunnet or (unnels along the line of 25th Street extended, from a point near Lyon's Mill to a potnt at or near O street, and it is further contemplated to cover the bed of Che creek with an arch or arches from the point last Mentioned to the south line of syivania avenue, The consiructions having been compieted, the old creek bedcan be Glied tn and the streeis can be extended la embankment. Thus the valley can ultimately be brought to the grade of the sur. rounding country. “The benetts which will result from the execu- tion of this project are obvious. The existing bridges over Rock Creek, connecting Washington and Georgetown, do not furnish adequate commu- nications between the two cites. A heavy ex- penditure will be reqiiired in the near future to put them in proper coudition and to adapt them to the imperative requirements of ‘The Billng in of the valley of Roc nish compiete communication and save the ex- pense of reconstruction, repair, and main‘enance O€ bridges for all future’ time.

Incidentally, this lm- ovement Will furnish ample and greatly-needed jucnping ground for grading in neighboring pat 8 of ine District, and it will enable the serious ques- tion of the sewage pollution of the creek to be treated in @ satlstactory manner. ~The engineering features of this project have been pronounced entirely feasible.

Astronomy, he sald, has always been the favorive science among those connected with the academy, al- though the others were by no means over- shadowed, The Lawrence Smith was given in honor of one of the members of the ucademy Who had devoted nis lite to the science of astronomy. It is valued at $200, and is awarded every two 3ears to the citizen of any country who has done the best work in the study of meteorological bodies The committee having the award in charge, said Prof. Marsh, were yiad that they could conscientiously and unhesitatingly give the iy dal to one of the members of the academy, and it was the unanimous choice of the commitiee tha: Prot-H. A.

He had, conlinued Prof, Marsh, lald the fouadation of ‘the ‘meteorological science, and entitied to be called its father. Prot.
