FOR HOUSE NUMBERING.
Order of COmmissioners s6a..in
TerritOry BcyOnd CITY Limit


Territory Beyond City Limits
The board appointed by the District Com
nlssioners January %. 1897. to devise a
plan for house numbering outside of the
city limits was today directed by the Com
mlssioners to submit a plan for the guild
ance of the building inspectors office in
numbering houses in the territory desig-
mated. The board consists of the District
surveyor, Mr.. c. F. Eckloff, of the water
department. and Mr. f. NJ Evans. assist
ant inspector Of buildings. 1t is said the
beard has not yet submitted a plan.
The occasion of the Commissioners order
OF today was complaint received recently
from Mr.. G. Corson of 2714 14th street who
complained of want of proper numbering
OF houses on the street in his neighborhood
sub1ecting him to much annoyance. The
matter was referred to Mr.. John B. Brady.
the inspector of buildings, who reported
that upon personal inspection of the num-
bering of the houses on the west side of
l4th street north of Florida avenue he
found the same to be erroneous in many
blocks. L he cross streets beginning on the
west side of the street are not coincident
with those on the east side, he pointed out
and hence the initial number of the blocks
on the latter side do not agree with those
on the opposite, or west side. He, there
fore, requested the Commissioners to direct
the board to consider the matter to define
a scheme which will avoid errors in the
future

BELT RAILWAY SALE.
Formally Reported to Court and
Ratified COndftfOnaIly.

The report of the trustee of the Belt Rail-
road Company, the American Security and
Trust Company, Chas. J.1Bell, president
appointed under decree Of the District
court, made today to Judge Cox in the
Equity Court, announces the fact of the
sale of the franchises and property Of the
road the 18th of November, 1888. Further
the trustee states that at the sale but one
bidder qualified by making the required de-
posit of 5000 before the offering OF the
property, and that was. Mr. Oscar T. Cros-
by. The latter bid $}50,009; and no other
bid was made, and no other bidder appear
ing, the property was sold to Mr.. Crosby
who, within the five days, the report stated
paid to the trustee the additional sum of
$4,000 in cash and duly assigned claims
upon the said property having priority over
the bonds. IN SO - ~. ....-
The report adds that the real estate, with
the improvements, is assessed for taxation
at about Sl33,000, and as, under the terms
of the act, approved June -, 1898, the pur-
chaser is required to equip the entire line
of said railway with an underground cleo
trio system, iHvolving a large expenditure
within one year from the final ratifica ton
OF the sale, the trustee believes the bid and
purchase of Oscar T. Crosby to fairly repre-
sent the value of the property so sold and
recommends that the purchase be ratified
by the court.
The court signed an order directing that
the sale be ratified, unless cause to. the
contrary be shown ON or before December
p next.
