A GROWING SUBURB.

The improvements Accomplished and
Those Contemplated at University.
The pretty suburb University, which until
recently was known as Brooks Station, is fast
becoming one of the most attractive of Wash
ington's suburban localities. Itis constantly
growing in size, and its population is now
over 300. This small town is not yet three
years old, though the name Brooks has been
known for many years as one of the stations
on the Metropolitan Branch of the b. & o.
Railroad. The houses, which are all new,
are built in the latest architectural styles
Most OF them are occupied by their owners,
who have beautifed the surroundings with
beds OF flowers Of every variety. For many
years the depot was small frame dwelling.
After the Catholic University was built
within sight of the railroad, the faculty de-
sired that the station should be in keeping
with the magni6cence of their institution,
and conference with the railroad official
was held which resulted in handsome new
depot being constructed of the same kind of
stone as that used in the University Building.
The station agent, Mr.. White, improved the
ground south of the station by having it
leveled and rolled, after which flower beds
were planted and grass seed sown. The
Sbatiou is now one OF Une pTetUleSU on Lne
Metropolitan Branch. The Oldest house at
University is the Brooks Mansion, which has
just been sold by Miss Varney to Catholic
society for school. The house was built
over fifty years ago and it remained in the
same family until three years ago when Miss
Varney bought it for $500. When Mr..
Brooks owned it, his plantation contained be-
tween 100 and 200 acres OF land. Acre after
acre has been sold until there now remains
but two acres. The house is beautifully
located and is surrounded by tall trees. The
interior of the house is very handsome. The
rooms are large and airy, the ceilings high,
and the halls very wide. On account of the
rapid increase in the population of University
it is expected that the District authorities will
soon build public school. A church will
follow. University affords every convenience
for a suburban home. The city can be reached
at all hours either by train or by electric cars

of each piece Of work was given. The total
amount in Southeast Washington was $171 900
and in the northeast section $211 900, making
the whole sum for the eastern section of the
city $Ss2,000. They consider this amount to
be proper proportion of the public money
to be expended in that section The state
ment was referred to the Engineer Depart

A Busy Plumber.

Mr.. j. r. Quinter, one of the best known
and most practical plumbers in the city,
whose shop is located at 1914 Rhode Island
avenue, has had his hands full of business
this season and the work he now has on hand
keeps him and his efficient corps of assistants
constantly employed. Mr.. Quinter is one of
the Oldest plumbers In Washington, having
been engaged in that business fifteen years.
During that time he has won the respect of
all those with whom he has dealt by his
thorough business principles and his prompt
attention to all the jobs he undertakes. He
has just completed the plumbing in the three
commodious store and apartment houses which
W. W. Burdette has erected at tho corner of
Rhode Island avenue. and Seventh street
northwest. Probably no other house in the
city bas a more extensive and elaborate
system of plumbing than that which Mr..
Quinter placed In Mr.. Davis residence on
Connecticut avenue near street northwest.
The work is a model of its kind. The bath
rooms are very handsome, containing Roman
tubes, tiled floors, and excellent nickel
plated work. Mr. Quinter is also the plumber
for three fine houses In course OF erection at
the corner OF Hillyer Place and Twentieth
street. They will be fitted with the most
modern plumbing appliances. He, as well,
did all the plumbing for two rows containing
81 and So houses respectively. One row is
located on the square between Ninth and
Tenth and S and T streets, and the other on
the square between Fifth and Sixth and L and
M streets northwest. Among the other
houses he has fitted with plumbing are one
for Mr.. Norlinger on NJ street, between
Thirtieth and Thirty-irst, three for Mr.
Eberly, and three for Dr. Combe at 1908, 13l0
and 1912 Ninth street northwest. Mr.. Quinter's
work recommends itself.

Street Names Cannot BE Changed

Attorney Thomas has rendered an opinion
to the Commissioners which states that in the
absence of express authority from Congress
the Commissioners have no power to change
the names of streets and avenues. He sug-
gests that parties who desire to have the
names OF streets changed go to Congress next
winter and get a special act passed authoriz-
ing the desired change.
