Cost of Making the Extensfon On 81
Straight Line.
AS required by the provision in the Dis
trict appropriation act. the Commissioners
today submitted to Congress a report upon
the comparative advantages and disad-
vantages and comparative cost of opening
Connecticut avenue on straight line.
They say that the straight extension would
cost sI01.314. while the recorded extension
only costs S470,640.
The direct extension. they say, gives a
shorter distance between common points,
but 1t Is small one, and immaterial 1t is
only difference of fifty feet from the de-
hected extension. Concluding their report,
they say:
1.-The straight extension of Connecticut
avenue would leave the existing Connecti-
cut avenue between Kalorama and Cali
fornia avenue. on which lots and improve
ment space in an awkward position, be-
ing only from 81 to 122 feet distant; If the
said existing Connecticut avenue were
closed the cost of opening the direct ave-
nue. would be materially increased.
In brief. the advantage in cost useful
ness and for public convenience obtains
with the recorded and adopted extension
of the avenue"
