procure license and set the wedding feast, but
Miss Cotton repented OF her cnoice about seven
hours before the appointed time. She notified the
MINISTER .nar sne Meddng was on ana let tns
she had telegraphed to Mr.. vandegrift, Of Coats

prise met Mr.. vandegrift Mr.. vandegrift had
never met the parents OF his bride, nor had he

EXTENsION OF STREETS.
The Damages % PrOperty-OWners he
yOmd the Boundary

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
There has been q good deal OF interesting reading
In The STAR recently on the matter Of extending
the system OF streets to the high grounds on the
north OF Boundary street, and nearly all OF the
articles contain some correct ideas as to how the
extension should be made, but nearly all fail to
cover the whole ground. Allow me to present one
or two thoughts on points about which no one has
written, and, so far as / know, no bill yet intro
duced In Congress provides for. In TIE STAR Of
the 4th instant &c. r. n" offers some good sug-
gestions, but omits to notice other points equally
necessary. He does not propose to open east and
the people OF the District need to travel east and
west as well as north and south? He proposes to
let the present streets "revert to the owners"
Who does he mean when he says "owners--the
dealer who subdivided the land twenty years ago
and Is now dead, or an innocent purchaser who
has built home on small lot fronting on 20 feet
can legally lad-Out street he abandoned and re.
vert TO any one, except all persons damaged
property but damages for being broken up7 The
Constitution OF the United states provides that
private property shall not be taken for public use
without 'Just compensation" What is "just
compensation for breaking up a home? Not
the auction price Of the property by any means.
&c. r. N" proposes to tax "certain proportion Of
the cost on the AUDITING properly" This would
be decidedly unjust.
suppose he owned lot so feet wide, and in the
STRENGTHENING process the commission concluded
70 take 40 feet and leave hts lot sized 1Ox15O He
then owns the "abutting" property, and would
under his plan, have not only to loose four-nfths
OF MS lot, but be assessed TO pay for grading &C.
Are not the owners OF lots 100 feet on benef1ted
by the street7 Are streets laid out and Improved
10 benefit only those who live directly on them, or
Tor the great mass who live on cross streets who
must use them? 1t must be remembered that the
present owners are OF the charges against
the persons who made and recorded these various
SUBDIVISIONS but are anxious to have such correc-
lions and changes made as will bene1t the whole
District, providing they are not injured thereby.
There are numerous houses now fronting on streets

every street is to be maze straight as a bee-line
and new streets will be opened so far from them
That they will have to travel private property
