Opposition to the Commissioners
Plan of Street Extension.
hESSRS.BRIfTON And PARKER'S LETTER
Why They Object to Decatur and
Twenty-third Streets.
AN EXPLANATORY MAP

Under the act of Congress which pro-
vided for the extension of the city of
Washington beyond its present boundaries
the Commissioners of the District were
authorized and instructed to prepare plats
of the streets and avenues as they should
run in the addition and submit the same
for approval to q commission, consisting of
the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the
Interior and the chief of engineers.
In pursuance of this law the engineer
department of the District government has
been busily engaged preparing plans for
the proposed extension and maps of the
two suburban sections lying respectively
on either side of 7th street (or Brightwood
avenue). These plans have been submitted
to the Commissioners, and that OF the
section west of 7th street has been ap-
proved by them. A number of the prop
erty holders owning real estate in the sec
tion lying north of the present city boun-
Diary and west of Brightwood avenue are
not satisfied, however, with the plans de-
cided upon by the Commissioners, and the
superior body, headed by the Secretary OF
War, which may be properly regarded as
court of appeals in the premises, and
which will shortly commence considering
the plats submitted, is already in receipt
of protests against the adoption of certain
of the recommendations made by the Com
misSionerS.
A Sample Protest.
A sample protest of this character is
given herewith in the following letter. ad-
dressed, May 10th last, to the Secretary of
War and his colleagues, by Mr.. A. T. Brit
ton and Mr.. Myron NJ. Parker ex-Commis
sioner Of the District, who preceded Com
missioner Truesdell in office:
LAS owners of lots to Is. inclusive, in
block II, of Kalorama subdivision" says
the letter, I'VE respectfully protest against
the stepping of the northerly extension of
ed street, against the widening of De-
catur street between 22d street and Mas
sachusetts avenue. when Decatur street is
not opened eastward to Florida avenue,
and against the opening of 23d street from
Decatur street for about three blocks north:
ward only, as has been proposed In the sec
tional map recently submitted for your
approval by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, under act of Congress
approved March 2, 1893.
THE widening of Decatur street takes
nearly 5,iO0 feet from our lots, and the
opening of 23d street for few blocks only
takes nearly 5000 feet additional. So that
ont of an ownership of about 45,OOO feet,
more than $4,000 feet are taken from US,
CIR about one-third of our whole ownership.

Reports received by the marine hospital

filed before the surveyor general of Ar
izona claim to the grant, based on
the Willing deed. and his counsel was
that of the Southern Pacific. Reaves
said he did not tell the Southern Pa
ciiic lawyer he was satisfied the deed
was sprious. but did give him the name
of Miguel Peralto as one who knew
more about the deed than any living
man. He urged the Southern Pacific
lawyers to send for Miguel Peralto and
get his statement. hut the lawyer did
not take his advice, SO the claim was
filed and pushed on the basis Of the
Willing deed.
Reaves said he believed DIR. w, W.

any one else about the fabrication of
the Willing papers. Celebrating his
testimony of the interest of the South

damaging to the Southern Pacific rail-

he abandoned the Peralto grant until
the row arose between Tom Scott Of
the Texas Pacific and the Southern Pa
cific magnates, Huntington. Crockeu
and others. When the railroad fight
developed and Scott beat the Southern
Pacific out of its land grant, Reaves
thought his Willing papers in the Per-
alto grant might be OF some value to
the Southern Pacific.
He showed them first to W. W.

Of the Pacific slope. Stowe confirmed
his impression that he had something

hold of. Stowe provided a way where
