formed at the Treasury department that this

two salaries to one person. The result Of the

The Extended Avenue.
THE OWNERS OF THE LAND PROPOSE TO OPEN
UP MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE AT THEIR OWN
EXPENSE.
AS stated in Saturdays STAR, the gentlemen
interested In the property along the proposed
extension OF Massachusetts avenue intend to
begin at once, at their own expense, the OPEN
ing OF the avenue from the Tenseyt town road
some 1900 feet, to the land owned by the gov
ernment iOr a naval observatory site. The
commissioners propose to extend the avenue
from boundary TO Rock creek; but on the other
nf fl,a n1Nx>.rk
three hundred feet, to the naval observatory
site, belongs to the same men, but owing to the
impossibiiity of continuing the proposed extern
out authority from Congress, it is considered to
be more practicable at this time to begin at the
other end. They have donated the land and
will make the road at their own expense, a
width OF 16O feet. This will include q circle
where the line Ofthe extended avenue comes
be begun at once and will probably be followed
by subdivision of the property into villa
