A Rio Plan

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Allow disnterested person to make a
few suggestions through the columns of the
GAZ ITTE in behalf OF Alexandria. have
loug cnut ende d that Alexandria heights and
he land lying between Alexandra ard
Washington as far SO the fats on the river
would 10 ka the most handsome and Coo
veuien, suburban villas TO Washington OF
ell territory around Washington Within the
same djstsnoe If the city. nor can l see why
the Washington land boomers did not take
this up 10 preference TO laying off towns 10
to Is miles out In the country. My plan
would be this: Build 3 suitable bridge
across the liver and extend TWO wide
avenues. ssy 100 feet wide, running parallel
the whole dstsuce from the nearest point
to the bridge, and beyond the Il ate through
10 Alex ndria, forming gradual curves as
you near the town 30 as to tap
the main stem Leading to the depo !.
These avornes shond be nicely macsdam'Z I'd and
broad, handsome sdewa Ks laid The centre of
each avenue, say thirty feot wide, should be re-
served and sown II fue lawn grasses with row
OF handsome shsde trees on each size, and 1T
proper intervals beds Of illwers There should be
four rowe of trees on each avenue and. of course,
YOU will leave space for cross streets il need
running back 30 20 foot alleys, as to allow free
circulation of pure air. You should, of course,
have good sewerage and an abundance OF pure
water for all purposes. When all this is DONE put
on your Electric Cars and have them plying he
tween the cities ach half hour to make it en-
tirely convenient for those doicg work in either
city. Thus you will have winter as we'll IA sum-
mer residents. When ready to sell your lots they
should be sold alternately deserving every other
one) at public auction, after b,ing properly ad-
vertised, and with cerrain restrictions as to cost
and quality of buildings; viz No frame build
ings should be allowed aud none to be built cost
ing less than $1,000 The purchaser should be
required to build within or two years from
date of purchase The front of no building
should be allowed nearer the sidewalk than 10
feet 1t will take millions to do this, but when
properly done believe it would pay the investors
500 per cent profit in ten years. One of the
many advantages III this locality is, you would be
between two fine markets. OF course, you would
have tho avenues lighted with electricity. and
this could be done from the Alexandria or Wash
ington plant. Yours truly

a RUMoR Ia current in the country De-
twsep Front Royal aud Washington, to the
effect that Senator Barbour had something
to ao with tbs defeat Of the bill granting the
Norfolk and Western Railroad al entrance
into Washington city. Mr.. Barbour Is now
in California, AID not having heard the ru-
NOR referred tc, Of course has not denied 1t.
The GAZETTE, however, does 80 for him.
AMI 1t has personal knowledge OF all the facts
az 6he case. Mr.. Barbour was an earnest
sunoortar of the bill both 10 the District oil
Colnmbja committee, OF which he was
member, and 10 the Senate, going 30 far as
10 vote for it even with the Objectionable
Cumberland and Washington amendment,
when that amendment was fist proposed,
ia order to secure its passage. He was the
friend of the bill from frat to last. and is no
more responsible for it's defeat than tue man
in the moon. Il was very late In the session
when the bill came up for final action, so
lase that when S ,nator Eimund5 objected
to it. on the ground that thu proposed route
through Washington would occupy too
much of the streets of that city, and threat
ened to speak on that obi sctioa, Its fate was
sealed. for either it or some Of the necessary
appropriation bills hsd to fall, and, OF course,
it bad to go. How such rumor was start
ed is one of the many things which no fell
low can find out.

FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence Of the alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON. d. o., March 81, 1880.
II is understood TO day that Mr.. Hubbard
Of West Virginia is being pushed for the
neH judgeahip Of the Virginia circuit, and
that if ex Secretary Golf of that State shall
cot desire the place, Mr.. Hubbard will have
the il fuence of Mr.. E;kips. II ia said to-
day that Judge Paul. who is being pushed
by the Mahoneites OF Virginia for the pl .ce,
has 20 chance as the President has poor
opinion Of ''ex rebels," and even less OF re-
aGjusteis.
There seems to be hitch in President
Harrison'a contemplated southern and VEST
ern "trip. 1t is said 1t was supposed at the
White House the announcement OF the trip
would have flooded that house with requests
from every city in the West and South to
have place in the itinerary, and with pre-
tests from othe. paris OF The country against
it, on account Of the danger OF accidents and
the long time the President won d he away
from the national capital, but that as neither
invitations nor protests have been received
Mr.. Harrison is doubtful whether the visit
would be agreeable to the people to whom
it was to be made, and whether accidents
or prolonged absence would be disagreeabie
to those Of the other sections. Private Sac
rotary Hals,ead said to .day no time was
fixed for the trip. and that it was doubtful
i; it would ne made.
Senator Daniel was 10 the city to-
day. When informed that q few III
informed people in his State we're
attributing the defeat of the bill
granting the Norfolk and Western Railroad
au entrance into this city to Mr.. Barbour, he
said the people referred to were doing Mr..
Barbour great Injustice, as Mr.. Barbour was
as much in favor of the bill as he, Daniel
who WISE its patron. He said the bill Was
reached so late In the session that, with any
objection. it was impossible for 1t to be-
passed.
A private dispatch received here from
Nsw Orleans saws the letter otGov. Nichols
