DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Oppose Widening the Street.

Oppose Widening the Street.
A delegation Of citizens representing the
owners of property and residents Of Kene-
saw avenue, appeared before the Commits
sioners this morning to protest against the
contemplated widening of the sidewalk of
kenesaw avenue. 1t was represented that
when the syndicate owning the property
subdivided it into lots and sold the same
a condition was imposed in the deed which
carried reservation that when houses
were built they should be set hack 30 feet
from the front line of the lots. in order to
provide a parking space along the street.
The owners pay taxes on this strip. hut cam
not build upon 1t. Some time ago the peo-
pie of the neighborhood petitioned for a
sidewalk, understanding that the sidewalk
would be six feet in width. Monday morn
ing last they learned from workmen that
the sidewalk was to be eight feet wide: that
the roadway, instead of being 30 feet from
curb to curb. was to be widened 10 feet, 3
feet being taken from each side.
Mr.. M. r. O'Donohue. following the above
explanation of affairs by Judge McCalmont
stated that he also understood that the side
walk and roadway were to be widened. This
would necessitate the setting back of the
trees, so that they would occupy a position
between the sidewalk and the building line
instead of being next the curb. He protest.
ed against this. stating If it were done on
the north side Of the street the trees would
not afford any shade for pedestrians He
had prepared for widening of the street
only feet, taking ~ feet Off of each side
To this he made no objection, but was op-
posed to widening of 10 feet.
Judge McCalmont said he thought the
interests of the owners on the street would
be best subserved by keeping the roadway
as narrow as the necessities Of the case
would permit; that there seemed desire
to get a street railroad ON the avenue and
the proposed widening seemed to have
some such action as this i'm view. The citi-
zens were opposed to q street railroad
through Columbia Heights south of Kenyon
street. and would fight any such project
The Citizens Association had put itself on
record In this matter.
The Commissioners denied that there was
any proposition to widen the sidewalk to
8 feet, and the hearing closed with the
promise of the Commissioners to bear i'm
mind everything that had been said on the
subject.
