EXTENDING WATER SERVICE.
Response to Request Made by Citizens
Of Woodbridge.

E. B. Townsend recently wrote to the Dis
trict Commissioners asking an extension of
the water service to the subdivision OF
Woodbridge, on the line of Rhode Island av-
enue extended. and the project has been
reported upon by W. A. Mcfarland. super
intendent of the water department, as fol-
lows:
1T is recommended that the water main
asked for by Mr.. Townsend be laid, provided
the District can secure the right of way
across the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
tracks at its intersection with 18th street,
and across private land on the west side OF
the railroad north from this point to South
Dakota avenue If approved, this main
should be laid as trunk main from the
south boundary line of the Clark Mills eS
tate to the intersection of the BladensburG
road and 18th street. North from this in
tersection it should be laid as a service
main, subjecting abuttng property to as
SeSSment.
The crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad should be made either on a light
iron treStle supported on two intermediate
towers or by laying the main as an in
verted syphon. In my opinion the first
method is preferable.
Il am informed by Mr. Townsend that
the owner of the property on the west side
of the railroad has agreed to give the. right
OF way.
Il would suggest that the matter be called
to the attention of the officials Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company for a
statement of their views as to the crossing
proposed"

ment at any time appraisal by five arbl-
traitors. two each selected by the govern
ment and the company, and the fifth to be
