Some important changes are contemplated
in street extension plans, the details for
which are now before the board of Commits
sioneTs. Among these are the suggested
transfer OF Fourteenth street line at all
points where there is a DETECTION from a
direct course, thus running 1T as a straight
thoroughfare through to the isrict
line This VIII enable the Commissioners
TO continue Fifteenth street through, also
in a straight course. Interested citizens,
among whom is MI Blair Lee, have been
invited TO confer upon the proposed
changes with the District authorities.
The Commis toner's yesterday agreed
upon certain recommendations to the high
way commission respecting street exten-
sions, which, If adopted, will cause a
