Trouble Other Notes.

The engineer department this afternoon
announced the completion of the third Sec
ticn of the street extension plan in accord
ance with the highway act.
This section includes all the suburbs west
of Rock Creek Park ana ali area about
the size of Washington city. The rectan-
Sular system OF streets las been carried
over the entire section with the eXcep-
tion of some localities where the topog
raphy of the couEtry is extremely rugged.
On account of the few irregular subdi-
visions in that section great latitude has
been allowed in a study of the plan, and
the system Is more regular and Symmetri
cal than any previous section.
The main avenues lead toward The city
in a fan-shaped manner and cross avenues
have been provided running the whole
length of the section. y number Of sub
divisions exist in this section that were
laid out under the act OF 1885, and these
have been generally conlormed TO in the
new plan.
A special feature of this section is the
preservation of the beautiful ravineS and
the establishment of parkways on both
siGcs of the streams that pass through
these deep hollows. One is along Foundry
branch, one along Saptcn branch and
another along Broad branch leading to the
Chevy Chase circle. A new park boundary
has been proposed by Mr.. Olmstead for
Rock Creek Park. by which many beautiful
tracts will be added to the park, the pres
ent boundary being moved further to the
west. Along this new boundary a system
OF curved streets has been devised, so as
TO fit the general lay OF the ground and
preserve its landscape features.
Along the Potomac river q wide boule-
ward is proposed to run on the edge of the
hluifs. This lies between the canal and
conduit road, and will command tine
View OF the river along its whole length.
Provision has also been made for better
connections with Georgetown, which will
reHeVe some of the travel on NJ street and
the narrow canal road.
The fCrtificati0ns of the late war which
lie in this part of the District have been
surrounded with proposed parks and con-
nected with wide streets avenues. The
American University and Cathedral sites
are within this section and some molitica-
ton OF their boundaries is suggested in
the plan.
The streets in general are laid out ninety
feet in width in conformity with the law
ana the avenues are from 100 to 16J feet
This section will be laid before the Com
missioneTs at the board meeting this af-
teraoon for their approval.

The Commissioners today ordered the
garbage contractor to remove from his

pears, according TO the health officers
statement. that a complaint was made by
one of the large hotels that the garba se
was not being regularly collected. Accord
ing to custom, the contractor was notified
to show cause within three days why he
should not be fined In the meantime let
ter was received from the proprietor of
the hotel, in which he stated that the
complaint was made for the purpose of
getting e daily service. and not because
