son. J. W. BARLEY, Thomas Gray, Julius Tolson
and others. President Barker and Mr. Latti-
mer, from the committee on railroads, reported
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
had taken no steps toward providing safe
guards at the Bridge street grade crossing.
The same gentlemen reported that Capt. ROs-
sell had stated that the Commissioners would
doubtless soon issue an order for the
Anacostia railroad to repave its share
OF Bridge street, and if it failed the District
would prosecute the work and hold the rail-
road responsible. Mr., Lattimer s.renuously
objected to the way the street cars blockaded
Bridge street. Sergt Kerby when consulted
by the association thought it unfortunate,
though unavoidable, owing to the single track
along Nichols avenue. MIR. Lattlmer then
wanted double track, and to this MIR. Koenig
objected. President Barker desired the asso-
citation to recommend the appropriation of
$50 600 for Pennsylvania avenue extended and
Sl5,oOO for Minnesota avenue from Pennsylya-
MIA avenue extended to Benning. This aroused
strong antagonism led by Secretary Mundell,
reinforced by Messrs. Frisbie, Rose, Buck
ley Armstrong and King. They objected
to the association being used to boom
private subdivisions directly and Anacostia
Indirectly. They thought the money ought to
be expended in Anacostia and not in the coun-
try for the benefit of land spectators. On
motion o. Justice Armstrong the association
refused to make the Recommendations. An ex-
tension of sewers was asked-one to follow the
water main along Harrison street from Minnesota
avenue to Bridge street, one along Nichols
avenue and Monroe street and one along Jeifer-
son street from Monroe to Green's Hill. Mr..
Rosp oil IN no uhicb ia to ANN
into the old one at the corner OF Jackson and Fill
more streets. The old one, Mr.. Rose stated,
was already overtaxed, and the stopping of it
for the accommodation of the new sewer would
Harrison between Monroe and Fillmore
street,. These sewer questions were re-
ferred to special committee consist
ing of Benjamin Mundell, j. w. BARLEY
and H. A. Linger. The procuration of shade
trees for all streets not now supplied en-
trusted to the committee on streets and roads.
Mr.. King desired the board walk on Harrison
street from Pierce to the east end of Avalon
terrace to be replaced by one of brick. 1t was
decided to ask tor the erection OF street lamps
on all highways along which gas mains run.
The committee on streets and roads
directed to urge the Commissioners to use the
appropriation of "a, 900 now available for Pierce
and Fillmore streets. MIR. FOLSOM presented
the claims OF Navy avenue and Shannon place
and these were turned over to the proper COM
mittee.
