MORE CATCH BASINS.
Superintendent of Roads Hacker Recon-
mends Location of Several.

Mr.. ]. J. Glennan, of q Maple Avenue.
Anacostia. recently wrote to the District
Commissioners calling attention to GER
tain streets and suggesting that the ioca-
tion of catch basins be changed to relieve
The situation.
Mr.. Morris Hacker, the Superintendent
of Roads, has submitted report upon
the matter, in which he recommends that,
if the sewers are adequate to carry the
water. additional catch basins be con-
structed on the north side of Jefferson
Street east of Monroe, on the south side
of Washington Street east of Monroe, and
at the northeast corner of Pleasant Place
and Monroe Street.
Mr.. Hacker states that there is no side
walk on the west side of Fillmore Street,
between Pleasant Place and Monroe
Street. and he says that he does not see
sufficient necessity for such a sidewalk to
recommend the construction of the same,
unless requested by a majority of the
abutting property holders.
He says that the brick walk on the
north side of Washington Street is mar
row in places. on account of projecting
steps, but that it is in excellent condition,
and cannot be widened without sacrificing
the shade along the street. which action
Mr.. Hacker does not recommend.
