The thiré section plans of the street ex- tension maps are now being corrected, so as to embody certain ideas and recommea- dations which were brought out in the last consultation with Mr, Olmsted. Engineer Commissioner Black recently left the city on a month's vacation. Before going, ho«w- ever, he discussed very thoroughly, with Mr. Olmsted, the question of street ex- tersions west of Rock creek, and left with his assistant explicit @irections for the Preparation of these plans during his ab- sence. He stated just after the consultation that Several changes would be made in the plans which are considered a material improve- ment, and that until these changes are ccmpleted the maps are not to be open to general inspection, as the annoyarive to his assistants very greatly retarded the work. It is intended, however, that every one in- terested shall be heard or consulted on the subject, and to this end a public hearing is to be given on the return of Commission- er Black early in September, when the plans are expected to be in a complete con- » Or at least so far advanced as to a5 the relation of proposed streets to existing lines, and to set forth clearly topographical maps the various reasons for the locations of new highways. Studies for the extensions beyond -he Ana ostia river, fourth section, are also being made, but as yet are in a very in- ccmplete state. It is intended to work t section by the same method, a public hear- ing being given at the proper time, of which notice will be given in the ne rs. The maps now on exhibition at the Dis- trict building are those of the second sec- tion, or the northeast, between the Ana- costia river and North Capitol street.
