EXTENSION OF AN AVENUE.
missiOners Submit Report OF
House Bill 12O43.

The District Commissioners have sub
mitted to the House District committee the
following report upon House bill 12O43, for
the extension of LIE Droit avenue north
west, referred to them by the committee
for examination and report:
"A map is submitted herewith showing
the portion of LIE Droit avenue which it is
proposed by the bill to open. AS will be
seen by an examination of the map the
street is of local Importance, as it cannot
be considered through street. the pro-
posed extension running merely between
Elm street and the Howard University
reservoir. 1t is, however of considerable
Importance to it's Immediate section owing
to the fact that Pomeroy and Wilson
streets have now no outlets at their eastern
extremity, nor has Albany street any out
let at It's western end By connecting
these streets and giving them an outlet it
will afford much relief to the streets which
are now simply cul-de-sacs. The estimated
cost involved is shown upon the map and
amounts to total of about $4S,OOO.
