The Washington, Alexandria, and

ing that steps be taken to widen Four
teenth Street northwest, from 3 Street
to n Street southwark. The letter of the
company was referred to the Surface De-
partment. and the Computing Engineer
has now reported.
This roadway is forty feet wide. and
is paved with stone blocks. The widen
ing of the roadway, would, of course,
have to be done under the provisions of
a special appropriation, and the circum-
stances OF the case are not such as to
appeal to this office as justifying a rec
ommerdation for such al appropriation.

exists for standing vehicles along the

standing vehicles must be allowed. in

"A fifty-foot width through residence or

and a forty-foot width has been followed

The East Washington Heights Citizens
Association recently requested that the
gutter on the west side of the Good
Hope road be relaid in front of the
property of ]. z Briggs. This request
is similar to one made last May by R. A
PyIes, and the Engineer Department have
advised the same report 10 be made to
the association as was made in that case.
1t was then stated that Good Hope road
is constructed at the point in question on
the side Of a hill, and rises at about
per cent grade. The surface of the ground
to the south was reported to be at an
elevation several feet lower than the
highway, and that through this low land.
parallel to the road, runs a perennial
stream. 1t was said that the gutter from
the north side Of the road is turned across
the road through pipe and empties into
the rayine. 1t was this drainage of which
complaint was made, and the former ap-
plicant was informed that the conditions
could not be changed now. He was told
that there was too great an accumulation
of drainage to attempt to continue it in
a gutter all the way down on the north
side Of the road.
1t is now recommended that the asso-
citation be informed that the Topographic
cal conditions are suCn tDat the COM
plaint made cannot be remedied until
sewers sufficient in size to carry off sur
face water are extended up this street;
also that a special appropriation by Con-
gress and dedication OF land Will be neces-
sary before the highway can be suffi-
cientiy widened for permanent improve

The matter was referred to the Surface

work on this street has been completed
for the present. owing to the fact that
the appropriation for its improvement has
been exhausted. The roadway and the
sidewalks have been brought to grade,
and the greater part of the parking space,
and the report states that nothing more
can be done at present except to remove
some material still left on the parking
space.

penalties. interest, and costs. The facts
pertaining in the case as reported from
the Tax Department are:
The general tax for the year 1889 was
advertised in the delinquent list for the
said year as the west 1O5 feet of lot 2S
square 4i2, which should have been the
west 100 feet, in the name of John Rueth.
The general tax for the year 1888 on said
lot was advertised as the twenty-five feet
on Seventh Street and west 109 feet on F
Street which was incorrect and should
have been the twenty-five feet on Seventh
Street and west l09 feet on S Street.
1t is admitted the advertisement for
both years was defective and technically
might be claimed as a description not s'if
fcient for Identification of the property.

ton, has forwarded it to his associates
with the following recommendation:
Il recommend that the applicants he in
formed that 1t is impossible for the Com
missioners to permit the use of the park
ing space for business purposes; that busi-

shipping, but Tat the packing and un-
packing of furniture upon the public
