COST OF EXTENSION,
Report by the CommfsAloners Con-
corning 10th Street.

In report made by them to Senator
Mcmillan, chairman of the Senate District
committee. on Senate bill asa. for the ex-
tension of 10th street in direct line from
Florida avenue to Piney branch, with a
circle at the intersection of Columbia road.
the District Commissioners today stated
that the opening of the street is considered
to be one of the most important of the
several measures recently introduced for
the extension Of streets in the suburbs.
las the necessary land for the extension
of the street between Florida avenue and
Morris street." explain the Commissioners,
has already been acquired by the Dis
trict, 1t is unnecessary to make any pro-
vision in the bill for this portion, which
therefore can be omitted. There seems to
of a circle at 10th street and Columbia
road. This is not general intersecting
point of streets and avenues and therefore
it woul1 seem to be inconsistent with the
general plan of the city of Washington TO
establish one there. For these reasons Ii
is suggested that the circle be omitted"
The estimated cost of acquiring the land
within the lines of 10th street extended
between Morris street ana Piney branch
Is said to be as follows: 115,200 square feet
in Meridian hill at $40 foot, $2l0, 24o:
162, 600 square feet in Deniscn and Leigh
tons subdivision at IS cents foot. sl21 800:
81, 100 square feet in Meridian hill at %
cents foot. $1SS,040; thirty houses. aver
aging $4,000 each. $l2O.000 and grading and
macadamizing, $20,OO0. Total, $685. $50.
These estimates, the Commissioners state.
are based on the awards Of the. jury OF
condemnation In the case OF land proposed
to be taken for street purposes under the
highway act in the Denfson and Leighton
subdivision. the awards having been made
about year ago.
