ANALOSTAN ISLAND.
The Analostan Island topic was revived
At the municipal building today by the
transmission to the Senate of some addi-
.ional papers, omitted from previous cor
-espondence A communication from Dr.
!. c. Busey. president OF the Medical So
ciety, was forwarded. in which The writer
saws he has no knowledge concerning the
lealthfulness of the island. but he believes
as a matter of palicy that the government
should obtain possession OF 1t and Eoid
a for any purpose for which il may be
suitable.
The doctors idea is that the selection OF
TN. island as n site for the contagious hos
pi,al would have solved the problem raised
by the pre- eiudices existing against its loca-
ton elsewhere, and which has heretofore
de!a yed The construction of the hospital.
An adverse recommendation was made by
the Commissioners today upon House bill
1858 to extend Connecticut avenue from
Florida avenue TO Rock Greek. The same
general rea sons are given as were assigned
IN the case of Seventeenth street and other
thoroughfares, which interested citizens
are seeking TO have extended on the indi-
vitual plan. They do not debate the gen.
eral merits of acE proposition as 1t arises,
but say. in substance, that the better fea-
lures of street extension are embodied in
the highway act. the adoption of which is
urged upon Congress
GOES TO GEN DODGE.
