The committee on streets and roads Of the
Takoma Park Citizens Association, COM
posed Of Messrs. Wilton j. Lambert, chair
man; Louis P. Shoemaker and J. B. Kin
near today presented to the District Com
nlissioners the following recommendations
for appropriations. which it is asked shall
be included in the Commissioners estimates
to Congress: ---s ''.'i
's First. We urge that UmatilIa street be
opened at the earliest possible moment from
Piney Branch road to Brightwood avenue,
and that the same be made available for
public travel. s.rs~. e. t.r,r.a
Second We request that 9th street ex-
tended be opened as speedily as possible.
Third. We ask for an appropriation for
the opening to the full width and grading
of Blair road from Chestnut avenue to the
District line.
Fourth. We desire that estimates be in
cluoed for the graveling Of Oak and Mag
nolia avenues, both of which streets have
been rendered in a very unsatisfactory con-
dition by reason of the running of water
mains along the same.
And We also believe that, owing to the
increase of the population in our section
and the extreme danger that threatens pc
destrians as well as those travelling in We
hicles over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
the public benefit ii 9TH street were EXTEND
ed some distance north Of the present cross
ing under the tracks of the B. and o. i'm
mediately at a point where the railroad is
elevated upon an embankment, and where
the street so cut may strike upon grade of
one Of our main streets lying through the
resident section OF Takoma. We believe
that this would tend to an avoidance of the
repetition Of serious accidents which have
occurred at this crossing.
1--WE request that Carroll avenue be ma
cadamized from the railroad to the Dis
trict line, as it Is now in very unsatis-
factory condition.
I'VE further request that you urge at once
upon the proper committees of Congress
the opening Of 18Th 14th and 10Th streets
and also Umatilla street west from Bright
wood avenue to 10th street; and in making
this latter request we wish to say that it
is not proffered in behalf of any particular
interest or for the benefit Of any particu-
lar person or land owner, but in behalf of
the general public, who are interested in
the proper development and Improvement
of this section of the District of Columbia
and who desire to promote the general well
fare thereof
I'm making the above requests this COM
mittee has been extremely anxious to urge
no greater expenditure on the part of the
government and of the District in this
locality than they believe is not only alb
solutely necessary for the wants of the peo-
pie. but that would he fair In considera-
ton of the quantity of taxes paid by the
citizens of Takoma into the District treas

The Kidneys

If your kidneys are out of order
you don't feel like going to work
when you get UP in the morning.
Your back is lame and sore, and
aches, and your sleep has not been

Failure of the kidneys properly to
perform their functions often makes
a failure of life itself-it weakens all
the energies.
Hoods Sarsaparilla contains the best and safest
substances for inygorating and toning the Kidneys

writes: Il had kidney trouble and took medicine
