AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
An AnaeOstia Citizen Complains of
Damage From Drainage.

He Suggests Thnt Good Hope Road
Be SfraiEhtened-The Assessors
Opinion on II Request for Re
fund of Costs and Interest.
r. a. PyIes. Of lis Monroe Street, Ana
costa. has complained TO the Commission
ers of damage done to his property by sur
face drainage from the Good Hope Road
He suggests as a remedy that this road be
Strengthened and widened-
Morris Hacker, of the Surface Division,
in reporting upon the matter, at the re-
quest of the Commissioners, has sub
mitted this statement:
The Good Hope Road is constructed on
the side of a hill, and rises at about a E
per cent grade. The surface of ground to
the south is at an elevation several feet
lower than highway, and through this low
land parallel to road flows a perennial
stream The gutter from north side of
road, as shown on plat, is turned across
the road through a pipe, and empCied
into Tavine. I presume it is of this drain
age that writer complains. I am unable,
however, TO see how such condition can be
changed al this time. There IS too great
an accumulation Of drainage to attempt
to continue it in d gutter all the way down
on the north side.
y recommend that the writer be in
formed that the typographical conditions
( are such that the complaint made cannot
! be remedied until sewers sufficient in size
to carry off surface water are extended up
this street; also that a special appropria-
I ton by Congress and dedication of land
viii be necessary before highway can be
widened-"
The Commissioners have taken action
based upon the above report, and Mr..
! Pyles will be informed accordingly.
