SHERMAN AVENUE EXTENSION.
District Commissioners Report Ia
vorabiy and Make Suggestions.

The District Commissioners yesterday
transmitted to Representative Babeock
Chairman of the House District Committee
a favorable report on House bill 1876.
providing for the extension of Sherman
Avenue.
The bill provides for the extension of
Sherman avenue to a width of ninety
feet" explains the report, south 10
Florida Avenue. sherman Avenue is the
only street OF good width and easy grade
between Seventh and Fourteenth Streets
which traverses the territory Immediately
north of Florida Avenue. 1t forms
highly desirable outlet into the suburbs
of this section, as il 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 it will
probably become one of the most important
thoroughfares leading out of the city Its
present entrance to the city is very
awkward one, running into Grant Avenue
about 100 feet east of Florida Avenue,
Grant Avenue being only 10 feet in width
entirely too narrow for the present neces-
stiles of travel. The Commissioners be-
lieve that it 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
avenue with width of 90 feet. The street
north of Grant Avenue is 100 feet wide,
and it is believed that it would be wise
to observe this width in making. the ex-
tension proposed in the bill.
The amount of land required to extend
the street with width of 30 feet is "A. $50
square feet. and with a width of 100 feet.
$500 square feet. When this land was
condemned about a year ago under the
highway extension act, the jury valued the
land at 80 cents per square foot.
NO definite appropriation is made for
acquiring the necessary land for the ex-
tension of the street. and section s of the
bill requires that the cost of grading.
paving and sewering the street shall be
paid out of the revenues of the District
of Columbia. 1t is believed that definite
appropriations should be named. one-half
to be paid by the United States and one
half by the District of Columbia

PUBLIC LIBRARY SITE.
Mount Vernon Square Recommended
by the Comm issioners


Favorable consideration has been given
by the District Commissioners TO the prop
osition to make Mount Vernon Square the
site Of the proposed new public library, to
be erected with funds donated by Andrew
Carnegie.
House bill No. HIP, providing for a site
in Mount Vernon Square, was yesterday
sent TO Representative Mercer. Chairman
of the Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee OF the House, with strong endorse
ment by the Commissioners. In their re-
port they recommend several minor
changes. Among these is the suggestion
that three years be allowed in which to
construct the library building. instead of
two years, as provided in the bill. After
consultation with prominent builders. the
Commissioners think that at least three
years will be required in which to con
struct a suitable building
Concerning their former action in rec
nmmending the Centre Market site, the
Commissioners say:
The site on Pennsylvania Avenue, be-
tween Seventh and Ninth Streets, was rec
commended because that site is available
and sadly needs improvement and because
the Commissioners are DESTROYS that in
time. the whole south side OF the Avenue
may be adorned by public buildings but
they regard the Mount Vernon Square site
as entirely appropriate. and. in view of the
favorable recommendation by the Senate
Committee and the Importance of early ac-
tiOn by both houses they strongly recon-
mend the early enactment of the legisla-
tion embodied in the enclosed bill

Attorney Thomas Opinion of Inter-
est to Many Property Owners.
8. T. Thomas attorney for the District.
yesterday rendered an opinion concerning
special assessments for alleys which will
be of interest to many property owners.
The ruling is the result of suggestions re-
Gently offered by ]. Harrison Johnson. Mr..
Johnson suggested that the laws governing
these special assessments be amended so
that assessment for paving entrance alleys
be assessed on all owners of property
abutting on the main alley. instead of on
the owner OF the property along the en-
trance alley.
Attorney Thomas is of the opinion that
such a change would involve the entire
scheme of the assessment and permit law.
He also thinks that entrance alleys add to
the value of the particular property which
they touch. The Commissioners approve
the opinion of the attorney.

Burke are both accused of having unlaw-
fully extOrted from an unknown but
wealthy woman $4,000, which, it is al

action against her for the alienation of the
affections of Edith Manning from her hus-
band, ]. II. Manning. Burke will be placed
