bad Condition.
The condition of 37th street for it's
entire length from Prospect avenue to +
street has been called to the attention of
the Commissioners, in hopes that some
effort will be made to place it in condition.
The street skirts the prop erty of George
town University ard is far worse than a
country read. 1t is dangerous to drive
wagons over the thoroughfare, and in wet
weather pedestrians cannot use 1t. The
street Is without any sidewalks, and is
,illuminated at night with few naphtha
lamps. 1t is never cleaned, and refuse of
all sorts remains uncollected on all parts
of the highway. There is a movement
now pending TO extend this street to the
Tenleytown road, but the residents of the
present portion would be better satisfied
if some little attention was shown the ex-
listing street.
