The revised street extension plan OF
the District Commissioners was today
submitted to Congress formally in the
shape of the proposed bill together Win
an exhaustive report
The street extension bill has Deeh
,,,.intad i'm full heretofore In The Ilmes.
II Drovides, i'm brief, that the original
n-milliOn-d dollar extension shall be
cut down to something like half, by
the elimination Of many costly street
revisions in the thickly settled portions
of the northwestern suburbs mediate
IN adjacent to the city. The General
Government is to pay half the cost OF
the extension and the Districts share
is to be provided for by a bond issue
payable in ten years.
In submitting this bill, one of the
most important and considered
ever framed for the District, the Com
missioners make a report giving a
careful and interesting resume OF all
the reasons fer the suburban highway
system. and Of all the work that has
been done upon ii so far, in addition
10 specially detailing the reasons Tor
the changes in the new bill.
They say with regard to the general
system that the experience Of all grow
inc cities has shown clearly the needs
of a comprehensive plan laid out far
I'm advance Of the extension Of the
streets and avenues through suburban
districts The ordinary growth Of large
cities is by the adding Of the smaller
towns around. The act Of August, p,
1883. was designed to provide for the
formation of suburban villages with
regular system Of streets in harmony
with Washington. looking forward to
their eventual addition to it. The weak
ness OF this act lay in the fact that
no authority was given the Commis-
sioners to make a comprehensive plan
for the entire District by means of
which they would be able to fOretell
what would be the proper system OF
streets in any part of the District
where such a village was being devel-
oped. The result Of the former lack
OF all system and Of this defective
plan Of 1858 are many "misfit" subdi-
visions oUt of all harmony with the
city streets.
The act Of 1898, the Highway Ex-
tension Act" was designed to remedy
this evil. In it's practical operation
this act they say, has proved TO be
difficult if not impracticable in its
provisions. The amendments submit
ted are believed to obviate these diff
culties "as well as to remove certain
hardsips entailed by the act in its
present condition"
The general provisions OF the act
