Engineer Richards Needs Funds to
Open New Hampshire Avenue.

The District Commissioners recently

Association a copy of a resolution adopt
ed by that body requesting the immediate
advertisement and sale of the houses in
the line of New Hampshire Avenue. be-
tween Whitney and Brightwood Avenues.
and the removal of the same from the line
of the street
W. p. Richards engineer in charge of
streets of the Surface Division, has re-
ported TO the Commissioners upon the
matter that about so per cent of the land
for the extension of New hampshire Ave-
nue. has been paid for in accordance with
the awards of the jury of condemnation
He says that it is hoped that within
the next two months the title to all the
parcels of land affected will be in the
District. and that the houses now standing
in the line of the proposed improvement
may be advertised, sold. and removed
Mr.. Richards says that there is no
money available for the opening of the
avenue, and that the buildings can be re-
moved only from the proceeds of the sale.
The Commissioners have directed that
the Brightwood association be informed

CEILING FOR TIE ASYLUM.
Measure to Provide Temperature
Regulation Recommen ended.

W f. Speir. the contractor who is
building the rear wing of the workhouse
for males at the Washington Asylum has
requested the District Commissioners to
make kncwn their intentions as to plac-
ing ceiling under the roof trusses. Mr.
Speir states that the plans appear to be
silent with respect to the matter, and
that he desires to know the wishes of the
District authorities.
The request of the contractor was re-
ferred TO the Inspector of Buildings, who
has reported that an examination of the
specifications for the building shows that
no corrugated ceiling is provided for the
roof trusses, but that the drawings show
detached portions OF the ironwork with
metal ceiling attached. The Inspector
states that, in his opinion. such ceiling
should be provided TO render the building
warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
He thinks that it was the intention of the
architect TO add the ceiling.
The inspector states that il would cost
more TO run light colored brick to the
wall plates than to introduce a metal
ceiling. He, therefore. recommends that
the ceiling be constructed without extra
cost TO the District.

FOR STREET EXTENSIONS.
Reply to Communication of North

The Northeast Suburban Citizens As
sociation has requested certain improve
ments and extension of streets and ave-
nues in the subdivisions of Woodbridge.

District Commissioners have informed the
association that they will grant hearing
when the bill for the extension of New
York Avenue from its intersection with
Florida Avenue to the Bladensburg Road
is referred to the Board for a report.
Relative TO the items enumerated in the
letter the computing engineer has report
ed as follows:
The Commissioners have recommended
TO Congress an estimate for the extern
sion of Twentieth Street, but it is not
known whether II will be retained in the
appropriation bill as finally passed by
that body. Cincinnati Street is at pres
ent substantially on grade. and when i'm
proved changes from present conditions
will be minor ones.
THE approved grades of Detroit and
Emporia Streets, between Twentieth and
Twenty second Streets, are as near
substantial agreement with the wishes
of the writer as maximum rate OF
grade would allow, and the exact relation
of the present approved grades to his ex-
pressed wish can only be explained in
the office The grading and macadamiz-
ing of Baltimore Street from Eighteenth
Street TO the Queens Chapel Road would
have to be the subject of a special ap-
preparation, and this will be borne in
mind in the preparation of future esti-
mates and every practicable considcra>
tion given to 1t.
The opening of Twenty fourth Street
from Rhode Island Avenue to the Bladens-
burg Road would involve the acquisition
by condemnation or otherwise-of "a very
considerable amount of land. Expectation
cannot be held out al this time that such
action can be reasonably anticipated.

are not at present contemplated other

EARLY CHARACTER FORMATION.
Talked at Chase's Theatre-YOunE
Men Warned That Now In the
Time to Decide Nest I'M sci
pOrtant Question.

An interesting and well-attended meet
ing of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was held at Chase's Theatre yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock. the speaker
of the occasion being Rev. Howard Agnew
Johnson d. D., pastor of the Madison
Presbyterian Church, New York.
DR.. Johnson's address was eloquent and
interesting. He urged the necessity for
young men to make the great decision as
to their souls salvation. He said in part:
Attitude Toward God.
THE greatest of all decisions is the one
which determines a mans attitude toward
Christ Tremendous Importance depends.
in the forming of character. upon the de-
cisions we make. We are bound in this
life to serve one of two masters, Christ
or Satan.
'The choice between them Is one that
we must make, whether we wish TO or
not. Our whole life is continual serv-
ice, and it is for us to choose which of
these masters we shall follow. We have
the liberty to choose whether We will
serve Christ to eternal life, or Satan
to everlasting condemnation.
He then related several touching Incl
dents which tended to impress upon his
audience the Importance of making the
great decision now. Too much OF the in
clination is shown he said. to put off this
all-important question until some future
time. which in the lives of many men
never comes.

however, she states, that her sister-in-

Mrs. WheeldOn declares that Miss

priation of $4,000 for laying walks in
front of Government reservations and
Government buildings.
Seven Miles Each Year.
The outlay of this money results in the
construction of about seven miles of ce-
ment walk annually. Much of it is in the
suburban portions of the District. where
sidewalks are laid for the first time. The
result has been that the expenditure of
the annual appropriation for cement foot
ways has made best progress in the busi-
ness section, and the more recently built
up suburbs.
The miles and miles OF thin, worn
bricks in the older resident sections, over
which the people patiently stumble as
they pass along, have not been touched,
and from present appearance will not be-
unless the District common council that
sits on Capitol HILL authorizes larger ex-
penditure for this greatly needed improve
ment.
Making the best use of the money pro-
vided, the Surface Division is able only
to construct seven miles of good side
walk year. This means that three and
one-balf miles OF the 32a miles of streets
in Washington is provided with new side
walk on each side. At this rate, ii will
take nearly 100 years to get rid of the
brick footpaths in the Capital City.
