SUBSTITUTE BILL PROPOSED.
Action of Commissioner i'm Sth Street
Extension Case


Col. John Biddle the Engineer Commits
sloner, has recommended to his associates
OF the District board that the following re-
port be made upon Senate bill 3131 For the
extension of Sth street northwest, or Wright
road, District of Columbia"
The bill provides for the extension Of Sth
street. or Wrights road, northward to Irv-
ing street as said road or street Is now
shown by the standard plat OF streets or
highways of said District and on file in the
surveyors office of the District of Column
bia. This extension is not shown on the
recorded system of highway extensions but
a map IS inclosed herewith showing the ex-
tension desired. Wrights road is only thirty
feet wide from Grant street to its present
northern terminus but the Commissioners
believe that the extension to Irving street
should be fifty feet wide, this being the
present width Of Sth street below Grant
street Wrght's road. which is an exten-
sion of Sth street, will, they believe, be
eventually widened to fifty feet.
ITO extend the road as proposed would
require the condemnation of lot In Wright
& Dole's subdivision, which is estimated to
cost about $4,000.
THE Commissioners believe that the ex-
tension should be made both a sanitary
measure and matter of great conven-
ience to the section. The bill, however. r.
not I'm the approved shape of street eXten-
sion bills. and they have to inclose here
with draft of a bill which they recon-
mend be substituted for the bill under con-
Sideration."

pending questions. One of the minor
of the American demands, heretofore
disregarded, namely the return of the
package OF insurance policies seized
by the authorities. was complied with
yesterday, while indications point to
the Porte being desirous of prevent
ing further friction by settling other
matters, including the rebuilding of
the American mission house at Khar-
put in Turkish Armenia, which was
destroyed at the time of the Armenian
massacre there and granting permis-
sion to Armenian women and children
to join their husbands and fathers
who are naturalized Americans.
