Excerpt from Forms of Local Government in the District of Columbia: With List of Washington City Officials Appended

It will probably not be considered that the real force of this statement is diminished by the fact that Congress in 1796, and again in 1798, passed laws authorizing a loan for the purpose of completing the buildings begun in the new city for the use Of Congress and the executive depart ments. Again, in the spring of 1800, a law was passed while Congress was still in Philadelphia in regard to the removal Of the public Offices to the new city, which, among other provisions, directed that footways be made in the city for the greater facility Of communication between the various Departments and offices of the Government. In neither case, it must be admitted, was the local legisla tion either elaborate or important.
