The body remained on tho chair, but was twisted as though dcath had come in an agonizing form.

The proposition to get a loan of $10,000,000 for the purpose of carrying out immediately the urgent improvemenge of the city is gaining favor every day, and the Commissioners have received ® number of letters urging them to push the matter to a» success ful issue. Citizens of all sections are interested init. M. L Weller of East Washington called this morning and had » long talk with Commissioner on the subject. He was of the opinion that if the loan is made the money should not be spent all at once an “hat no particular section should be favored in the mat ter. He thought an equal division of the money in the several sections of the city should bemade and expended accord- ingly. It would be a wise move, he thought, if the Commissioners were to block ont the im- Provements they deem urgent before thoy sched Congress for permission to make the Joan, STREET EXTENSION.

He was glad to see that Tur Stan bad first called attention to thie matter. There were a great many improvements that should be made at once and it was a hard matter to decide which one should be taken up frst, Pervonally he wae in favor expending at least $2,000,000 on the sidewalks of the city, for it was a notorious fact that Washington was far behind other cities of its size in regard to its sidewalka. The completion of the sowerage system, as recom- mended by the commission appointed about two years ago to investigate this matter, was also of the utmost importance, and the im- Provement of Rock creek should not be delayed. Every one in the city, he believed, was in- terested in the extension of streets and the Commissioners should avail themselves of the cheap prices rovailing at present and go to work condemnii abs ‘Was NO SURPLUS.
