navy permitting the sale of even beer

interests of the service that the sale or
issue to enlisted men of malt or other alco-
holic liquors on board ships of the navy or

ants are forbidden to allow any malt or
other alcoholic liquor to be sold to or is
sued to enlisted men, either on board ship
or within the limits of navy yards, naval

STATUS OF A THOROUGHFARE.
Decatur Street Must Be Classed as an
Alley.

The attorney for the District has advised
the Commissioners that, so far as the build
ing regulations are concerned what has
been known as Decatur street northeast
cannot be classed as a street. The question
decided by the attorney arose upon the ap-
plication of Mr.. David f. Weaver for q
permit to construct on sublots 100 to 103,
square GEO, bounded by 0 and p. North
Capitol and list streets, certain buildings.
The plans for the buildings making proVi-
sion for projecting steps, it became neces-
sary to determine whether the thorough
fare mentioned is q street or an ALLEY, for
if an alley the step projection would be in
admissible. 1t appears that Decatur street
is an extension of one of the ways inro
squares, as such spaces We're designated
by President Washington, and that 1t was
extended and called Decatur street, in a
subdivision of the original lots in the
square. The attorney holds that the acts
of recognition of the District authorities
of Decatur street do not change its original
status as an alley, and that the thorough
fare is not, therefore, a street, but an alley.
