One likes to hear stories of DR.. Houghton,
and his death revives them all-those told
when his gentle humanity first made the
fame of the Little Church Round the Cor
ner. and those in which, as an older man,
he played The part of the kindly sympa-
thizer and counsellor. never 100 busy 10
listen nor too shocked to hear.
But one likes also to get a glimpse of
what this mans ideals were. He suggested
them once in an address to his parish,
though he gave them the purposes and
accomplishing nts OF the church over which
he had presided for so many years:
las the knowledge of what the Church
of the TRANSPORTATION was intended TO he,
and was ready to he, and was in the per-
sonal ministry of mercy and blessing: that
no sin. no degradation, no sickness, no
possible peril, was or could be a barrier to
that ministry. The gambling house the
house OF ill repute, the prison house were
opened to it, There WAS no place that WAS
shut against il. There was no man wo-
man who hestated to seek il in time Of
need And. thanks be to God, during all
these forty and-fVe years not so much as
once has the foot of that personal MN
istry from the Church of the TranshgurL-
ton withheld itself from crossing any
threshold through fear from possible per-
sonal peril From the dying IL has come
out from the gambling place at midnight,
and from the house of III repute at the
dawn. And the hand of that ministry, de-
spite of warning. in the midst of pestilence.
has held the head, as il should, of the pes
tilence-smitten, for the receiving of the
body and blood of cur Lord
1.-THE astonishing thing to me-" said
Bishop Potter. in speaking Of DIR. Houghton
after his death, IFS that, although he had
to hear all sorts of troubles and SORROWS,
and constantly came into contact with the
sad side Of life. yet he never lost faith in
the human race. and always was the same
trusting nan. These elements explain the
secret of his power"
They might explain the secret of many
another persons power were they ofteaer
present in life.

Prior to $780, when the matter of the
street extension bill was first taken up by
the board Of trade. there had been intro
duced in Congress a great variety of bills
providing for the plating of streets in that
part of the District of Columbia lying out
side Of, the cities Of Washington and
Georgetown. and for the extension of some
or all Of the streets of the city over that
territory. Most of these bills related to
a few highways or to some particular
street or avenue. The first of these bills
which we have been able to find Is House
bill No. 1924. Forty-ninth Congress, first
0esston. which was introduced on Aprfl q.

would be practically nothing; in Others
| they would be substantial.
But in condemnation proceedings out
| side of existing subdivisions a very diff
| ferent rule should prevail. 1t will sell
| Com happen that new streets will reluire
| to be condemned through large tracts OF
! land, because experience teaches that al
most uniformly the owners of such tracts
are anxious to bring the same into mar
ket as building lots long before the public
convenience requires such condemnat ton.
| But If the owner of large tract of land
should choose to maintain it intact and
| to await condemnation proceedings, the
benefits which, under section IL of the
Highway act, would be deducted would
ordinarily equal compensation for the land
taken, and the man who waited for con-
domination proceedings would thus and
| justly, be put in the same position the
great majority who give the land for the
streets on account Of the greatly enhanced
| value Of that part of their land which is
| not included in the streets. In other
| cases. where new street is to be laid out
outside of existing subdivisions a fair
rule would seem to be that at least one
half of the cost should be assessed upon
property benefited, leaving it to the jury
in special cases. where they find the bene-
1T to equal the damages, to make an award
accordingly. 1t is hard to conceive of a
case in which the public convenience would
require the widening of a street outside
of an existing subdivision where property
in the vicinity would not be benefited to at
least half the cost OF the street.
after very careful examination we have
been unable to find that in any munich
pality in the United States less than one
half of the cost of opening new streets
is assessed upon the property benefited.
Amendments Recommended.
ITO sum up the conclusions hereinbe-
fore expressed, we recommend that the
board of trade urge upon Congress the
adoption of the following amendments to
the highway act:
81. The map of section 1 as filed to be
changed by leaving out certain new streets
or parts thereof and by restoring GER
tain streets which on that map are aban-
doned; these proposed changes to be pre-
pared by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia and included in the bill
when passed. The changes thus made
should be sufficient to reduce the cost
of condemnations in existing subdivisions
in section I to S. 500 600.
1T should further be expressly stated
that the map as amended is to take the
place Of the old one. and that no man
Is to be interfered with in the free use of
lis lands for building or other purposes
until condemnation proceedings shall ac-
tually have been begun. And II should
be provided that before any map shall be
submItted by the Commissioners of the
District to the highway commission for

| free thereof until condemnation pro-
ceedings are instituted.
But it is said that although this is the
| law, yet as matter of fact there is great
| difficulty in making loans on real estate
over which these highways are laid out or
| in making sales thereof. So far as our in
! formation goes. this applies principally to
! land within recorded subdivisions which
| are changed by the map, and in all such
| cases and for this reason. among Others
! the highway act requires that within thirty
| days after any map shall have been filed
| condemnation proceedings shall be insti-
| tGted as to all the land in any existing SUBJ
| divisions which it is proposed to take or to
affect This has been done as to all the
| subdivisions included within section l, and
| 1t Is the tendency Of the condemnation
proceedings. and not the recording of the
map, which has injuriously affected the
| land owners.
| the largest cities of the United States. in
! Guiding Boston, Brooklyn, New York. Phil
adephia. Baltimore and Pittsburg. similar
maps have been authorized and filed and
| used for many years. Each of these Cities
| except Boston, has had at least fifty years
of such experience.
And here in thedDistrict we are advised
that as to a very large proportion Of the
| land Which is affected by the maps the
land owners not only do not object to them,
| but are anxious that they should be COM
pleted as soon as possible. SO that they
| may subdivide accordingly. This is espe-
cially true as to the owners of large tracts
OF land. There areteonle instances in which
comparatively small parcels of land are in
juriousiy affected by reason of the fact
that an undue proportion thereof is in
cluded within the boundaries of the pro-
posed streets. Occasionally an entire par
eel will be within the limits of the proposed
street. 1t Is unreasonable to expect that in
such cases the land owner will voluntarily
subdivide his land, Andit should not be in
the power of the anthonities by refraining
from beginning condemnation proceedings
at the proper time to- compel him to do So
When tract of this kind Is brought with
In the area of land required for building
purposes the owner should have the right
upon agreeing to dedicate a reasonable
proportion of his land to require the au-
thorities to proceed with the condemna-
ton Of the rest and to pay him full value
therefor without any deduction for benefits
and without any assessment
The Expense.
so. 1t Is urged that the carrying out
of the highway act will be attended with
great expense.
In publications which have come to our
notice it has been calculated that five
hundred million square feet of land will
be required for streets outside of Wash
ington; that the average price OF this land
will be at least % cents per square foot,
