ter from Messrs. George W. Stickney, F. Kurtz
johnson. Samuel Ross aud others. owners of a
tract of land in Georgetown known as Cooke
Park, which they proposed TO subdivide in
casett met with the Commissioners approval
which they requested. Capt Rossell in his in
dorsement upon the papers. recommended that
the matter be referred TO the attorney of the
District for an opinion as to whether the Com
missioners have the right to change
the lines of the streets in Georgetown as
the proposed subdivision contemplated the por-
tions of the streets now in existence to go back
TO the property owners and they to give in
place of them other streets of greater area
The matter was referred to the attorney for
the District, and Mr.. s. T. Thomas. assistant
attorney. after examining the subject re-
ported adversely on the subdivision in view of
the fact that il involves the closing OF Park
avenue, which. he says, cannot legally be done
without the authority OF an act of Congress
and the owners of Cooke Park must go TO
Congress for relief. The Commissioners have
approved the attorneys opinion.
COMPLAINING OF THE POLES

from the residents and property owners OF
square 433 protesting against the erection of
telegraph or telephone poles on said square
