REMEMBERING THE GEORGETOWN STREETS
AS there seems to be considerable misunder-
standing about the proposed REMEMBERING OF
the houses In Georgetown, it may be as well to
state that no change of street names is conten-
plated. 1t Is simply sn extension west OF ROCK
brn Of fe h Pan IN In en,s city Of
and west, commencing with Water street, and
all parallel with 1t, will have a continuation of
the numbers On streets in this city Running
east ana west. For instance: The numbers of
houses on Water street Will be continuation OF
the K-street numbers, but the name OF Water
street VIII not DE changed: The first number
on the west side OF K-Street bridge would come
at the corner of Greene and Water streets and
would be 2901, as 2Sth street is the last street In
Washington. Needwood street. lying betUeen
w wafer yer ana Bridge, would commence with 2SOl
street VIII commence with 2701, at the corner
OF Monroe, just west of the M-Street brid re- and
SO on In the same way with Olive Gay, Dunn
barton, Bea1l, West and Stoddard streets
West street will commence at 26Ol at the cor
ner OF North street. The streets running north
and south In Georgetown, all commence with
the number 1901 at Water street, increasing
with the houses In northerly direction. There
being no street corresponding to NeedWood
street, between Washington and High, there
street Is reached. The same rule will apply
between Washington and High, where there is
no cross street corresponding to Olive and
Prospect streets To fully understand the sys--
tenn, one should have plat of the streets of
Washington and Georgetown to look at and it
is probable that there will be many who will
tical operation.
COMPLAINING OF THE DOG NUISANCE.

section OF the CITY, sends complaint TO Major
Morgan about savage dogs in that neighbor-
hood, and one bull dog in particular at 18th and

lonely traveller al ordinary dog locks as big as
a grizzly bear.
