APPEALS TO SYNOD.
DR.. Schick's Plea for Proposed New
House of Worship.

At yesterdays session of the general
synod of the Reformed Church. which is
meeting in Baltimore, Rev. Dr. John NJ.
Schick of this city, pastor of Grace Re
formed Church, where the President is an
attendant, presented the matter of the pro-
posed new Grace Memorial Reformed
Church, which by reason of the contri-
buttons for its erection having been made
by nearly all the Reformed synods Of the
country, will be the national church of
that denomination.
Rev. DIR. Schick presided last night al the
mass meeting held in the Academy of
Music in Baltimore, and in speaking of
the new national church appealed to the
general synod and to the Womens Mis-
sionary Society to contribute funds for two
memorial windows for the new edifice COM
memorative of the occasion.
Another project brought up before the
general synod was the building of a suit
able structure to be administrative CEN
ter for the publication officers and plant
and other business concerns of the church,
as well as executive headquarters for vari-
Gus boards. The probable loca ton of the
proposed building will be in Philadelphia
or Pittsburg. and the majority of the ad-
vocates of the plan seemed to favor PhiIa-
deiphia as the logical center of the Re-
formed Church

BUSINESS rHoRoUaHFARE.
Connecticut Avenue Between K and NJ
Streets 20 BesSo Designated.

Residents of the northwest section of the
city have noticed ofslate years that Con-
necticut avenue between K and NJ streets
has gradually been developing from resi-
dence section to a business center Today
the District Commissioners received rec
ommendation from Colonel Biddle, the En-
gneer Commissioner,athat Connecticut ave-
nue. between K and L streets be officially
declared businessrst This action is
to be taken at tfe request of the owners of
majority Of the property along this por-
ton OF the avenues and is in accordance
with the act of Congress~approved July l.
1888, which provides THAT where in any
portion of street more than one-half OF
the front is occupied and used for business
purposes, the Commissioners are author
lied and directed to denominate such por-
t1on OF the street as a business street.
A number Of property owners between l.
and NJ streets also applied for the designa-
tion of Connecticut avenue between those
bounds as business thoroughfare, but the
Commissioners find one-half the front Is
not occupied and used for business pur-
poses. The Commissioners are therefore
without authority to declare that block a
business one. Credting the Grafton Hotel
as residence property there are $3.50 feet
frontage in dwelling and vacant property
between l. and M streets and 4O4.22 feet
frontage Of business property. Crediting
the Grafton as business property there is
still lack of 1OS feet Of a majority of
frontage used for business purposes.

The District Commissioners have decided
to grant Mrs. NJ Robey of 1856 Sd street
southeast permission to move floating

avenue to the foot of 5th street southeast.
The superintendent of sewers reported that
the house now occupies a position in the
line of projected sewer, and the space
is needed in the pursuit Of The construc-
tion in progress. The proposed new location
of the boat house will not interfere with

Temporary Repairs Suggested.

The District superintendent of parking.
Trueman Lanham, has reported to the
Commissioners that the roadway and park
ing on Highland terrace, on the north side
of Massachusetts avenue northwest between
18th and 18th streets, has been put in good
condition by filling the gullies and culi-
waiting and seeding the ground. Because
of the growth of vines on the fence, which
would be very much torn and bruised in
any attempt to put the railing in repair at
the present time, Mr.. Lanham recommends
that it be temporarily repaired by wiring
the broken parts together, and that perma-
nent repairs sbe deferred until autumn. Seth
Smith. who complained of the condition of
the terrace some time ago, will be informed
in accordance with this report

Proposals Accepted.

William Clifford of 1922 Brightwood ave-
nue. has submitted proposal to the Dis
trict Commissioners to remove certain
houses in the line of Sherman avenue 'ex-
tended, and 1t has been accepted. These
houses were advertised among a number
of others, but no bids were received on
them and it is considered that they are OF
such little value 1t would not pay to re-
advertise them. The District has no means
of removing them. and Mr.. Gifford's bid OF
80 for the six houses is considered an ad-
vantageous one.
The District Commissioners have also de-
cided to accept the proposal of Charles M
Dorsey & Bro. to drive well on the site
Of the fire engine house on Congress

price Is to be 1925 per foot up to 100 and
