CLEVELAND PARK GRADES.
The Complaint of Property Holders
on Newark Street.

Some OF the property holders along the
line of Newark Street, in Cleveland Park,
are dissatisfied with the change OF the
grades proposed by the municipal author
tiles in improving that thoroughfarc.
They have complained to Senator McMil-
Ian, Chairman OF the Senate Committee
for the District, and he recently request
ed from the Commissioners statement OF
the facts in the matter.
The Commissioners have replied. stating
that the grading and repair OF Newark
Street and Highland Avenue was under
taken at the request of interested prop
erty owners from the appropriation for
repairs to county roads. 1t is further
stated that this street was originally
graded by private parties prior to its
dedication TO the District, the grade just
west Of Connecticut Avenue being sbout
II per cent.
1t anDears that the usual practice of
the Engineer Department is to allow no
grades of more than six per cent, that
having been found the most convenient
In this case, however, the Commissioners
authorized a grade OF s.S4 per cent. i'm
mediately west Of Connecticut Avenue, to
satisfy the wishes of property holders
there. The Commissioners say that it
does not seem practicable to construct
n street and to maintain the same at 4
sleeper grade than that.
The Commissioners admit that the
grading necessitated the changing Of
some Of the terraces abutting the street,
but that il was inevitable. They DO not
consider the changes in the terraces as
serious, except from the fact that when
these houses were built they were 10
Gated without reference to the grade
which the municipality might fix or TO
the street lines which might be adopted
