General and Personal News Gathered
West of Rock Creek.

At meeting of the Epworth League OF

The purchase of the grounds Of the old
Olympic base ball club. at the intersection
of 32d 34th, 35th, V and W streets, by
New York syndicate has caused the spread
ing of a rumor that several hundred houses
viii be erected on the site, work on which
Will begin next year. The property has an
area of about 150, 600 square feet, taking in
more than a block. Several rows of good
residences have been erected in the vicini-
ty, which, 1t is said, have proved to be
good investments.
At the last meeting Of the Georgetown
Citizens Association the question of public
improvements in the west end was con-
sidered, and it was the unanimous opin-
ion of all present that the town had been
much neglected for several years past;
that the money appropriated for the sec
ton had not been spent, and that many
streets for the improvement of which ap-
propriations were made were carried over
from year to year. This was the statement
of Mr.. George w. King, who said the i'm
provements made on some streets were out
of appropriations made for last year. He
also called attention to the fact that what
little improvements there were in this sec
ton were invariably put off until the close
Of the fiscal year, when the bulk Of the
funds had been expended in other sections,
leaving an insufficient sum for the COM
pletion OF the work started, necessitating
Its being carried over for another fiscal
year. 1t is said full report of the mat
ter will be made at the next meeting of
the association, when some definite action
will be taken.
