practical effect Is to reduce ninety-foot
street to an actual width Of eighty feet,
and 4 secondary effect is to ruin the archi-
lecture of the capital city. 1t seems to be
4 part OF human nature to otake all that can
be obtained for nothing: and, as no charge
Is made for these encroachments upon the
public streets, very few seem to be willing
to build a house without securing a bay
window. thus producing uniformity III the
appearance of residences which is rapidly
becoming such an invariable feature as 10
mar. as beforesaid. the architectural np-
pearance Of the city. 1t is recommended
that the schedule of projections in front Of
buildings be modified that the present
narrowing Of the streets, which is going on
ali over the District, will be restricted to a
reasonable degree. The extent to which
this is carried in Individual cases may he
realized when 1t is stated that in a recent
application for permit to build upon a cor
ner lot the proposed house was SO designed
that q per cent of it was to stand on the
public street, and numbers of very similar
cases could be cited II necessary.
The appearance Of the national capital
would also be greatly improved II the prop
erty owners would take little more care
Where street pavements are furnished with
out any charge whatever against the abut-
ting property, and the property has to pay
only half the cost of sidewalks and curbs
and the trees are set out and cared for by
the municipality, it would seem as II it
were but a small service to ask Of the
property owner to keep the parking in an
attractive condition.
An attempt was made by one of the en-
gtneer commissioners few years ago to
construct walks leaving a space for grass
plat between the walk and the curb, an ar
rangement that Is adopted in many of our
cities with success and with great adyan-
tage to the appearance Of the streets; but
as the property owner in Washington would
not keep this space in condition. the result
was unsightly bare spots or mud holes
bordering the streets where the attempt
was made. SO that recent sidewalks have
been laid to the curb. leaving q space only
by feet around each tree. This Is not
suf1cient to secure proper nourishment for
