REPORT FAVORABLE.
Commissioners IndOrse Bill for Ex
tension of Sherman Avenue.


In report to Representative Babcock
chairman Of the House District committee,
on House bill 1876, providing for the ex-
tension of Sherman avenue, the District
Commissioners recommend favorable action
on the measure.
The bll,' say the Commissioners, pro
vides for extension Of Sherman avenue to
a width of ninety feet south to Florida ave-
nue.. Sherman avenue is the only street of
good width and easy grade between 9TH and
14th streets which tcaverses the territory
Immediately north of Florida avenue 1t
forms a highly desirable outlet into the
suburbs of this section. 1t possesses the
easiest grade of all the streets leading to
the top of the hill back of the city, and
with its central location and good grade
il Will probably become one of the most
important thorough fareS leading out of the
city. Its present entrance to the city is a
very awkward one, running into Grant ave
nue. about iNl feet east of Florida avenue
Grant avenue being only forty-fye feet in
Width--emirely too narrow for the present
necessities of travel. The Commissioners
believe that il would be Of general public
benefit to extend the avenue straight
through to Florida avenue.
Attention is invited to the fact that the
bill provides for the extension of the ave-
nue. with width of ninety feet. The street
north of Grant avenue IS 100 feet wide and
it is believed that it would be wise TO OBJ
serve this width in making the extension
proposed in the dill.
The amount of land required to extend
the street with a width Of ninety feet is
"a $50 square feet, and with a width of 100
feet $500 square feet. When this land
was condemned about year ago under the
highway extension act the jury valued the
land at 80 cents per square foot.
mo definite appropriation is made for ac-
ouiring the necessary land for the extern
sion of the street, and section s of the bill
requires that the cost of grading. paving
and sewering the street shall be paid olit
of the revenues of the District of Column
bia. 1t is believed that definite appropria-
tions should be named, one-half to be paid
by the United States and one-talf by the
District of Columbia"

Library DuifdfnR

The WashiI gton Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects met recently In
the octagon building. Senator McMnlan's
Dill providing for site and for the con-
struction Of the public library which Mr..
Carnegie has offered the city was discussed
The Objectionable features. from the archi-
tects' point Of view, were considered. An
amendment was adopted and this will be
sent the senator, with the request that it
be embodied in the bill The amendment
provides that all of the proposed ten COM
peting architects who viii submit designs
snail he adequately compensated for their
services. and that the successful one shall
nave entire control of the building; shall
be paid according to the schedule adopted
by the American Institute, and that there
shall also be clerk OF the works. whose
compensation shall come out of the money
available for the erection of the building
Those present were of the opinion that
there should be no division of authority and
that placing the architect in sole charge
would dispense with the engagement OF any
other superintendent.
