We arc pleased to know that the con-
tract for the IRON viaduct across bacons-
Quarter branch 10 Barton Heights has
been given out. and that this beautiful
bridge will be completed in the spring :.

and widest cross streets IN the city, with
pavemeits, curbin9. and residences ITS en-
tire length. The bridge will add greatly
TO it's beauty, mEking II straight, level
street from Broad TO Barton Heights. IL
will be the most beautiful drive out OF the
city. and only fifteen minutes walk. The
erection Of the yiaduct will enhance the
yalue of property az Barton Heights and
add TO the convenience and development
of this charming village, which. by the
By. is already little city within itself. IL
has nearly 100 beautiful residences. sur
rounded by pretty gardens and lawns OF
flowers, fountains, &c. Its streets are
wide. clean, and never muddy. winter or
summer. II also has electric lights. making
the hill as bright by night as day. Barton

healthest spot in this section OF Virginia.
has sewerage of its own and sanitary regu-
latons which larger places might profit
bv. II has its own water-p0wer OF tho
purest, clearest water, thus enabling tho
houses TO have hot and cold water through
out. Its residents are protected by IT'S own
police force, and are the happiest, health
lest, and most contented people we know
of anywhere.
There are two handsome churches on
the Heights, and regular preaching every
Sunday morning and night, with Sunday
schools, day schools and the usual
weekly praye.-meetlngs. The pubhc
hall (Wigwan) IS neatly fitted up with a
stage and other conyeniences. and Is
under the management of the Barton
Heights Club, WHO provide weekly amuse-
ments. dances, etc.. for the residents OK

and riding club, the young men de
batting society, library. athletic associa-
ton, and the ladies have societies, guilds,
etc., altogether making barton Heights
the most charming residential portion OK
the city. Long ago all the lots at Barton
Heights and Brookland Park would have
been sold, but the projectors have been
careful 10 prevent them from getting INTO
the hands of spectators or undesirable
purchasers. The Brookland Railway and
improvement Company, who are erecting
the yiaduct, Is composed largely OF me
residents of that section. and have head
quarters az Mr.. Barton's Office, on the
Heights. This company have limited
