Land for a Water Main.

To the Editor of The Evening Star;
1t appears that the Commissioners have
asked for the condemnation of strip Of
land sixteen feet wide in the center of a
nnety-foot street for the large water main.
This street Is known as I'd street, also as
lie Droit avenue; Is now open from Florida
avenue to Elm street, and is concerted
nearly its entire length, about one-third of
a mile. The Commissioners propose extend
ing it about two squares making it sixteen
feet wide, and state that they failed to OBJ
tain the land at n reasonable price. One
square east of this. and several squares
further out land Is held at 81 per foot,
while the price offered for this strip was
% cents per foot. So much for the 'rea-
sonable price" The residents fear a repe-
tition of what was done few years ago on
street between I'd and 4th streets, when
it was reduced to forty feet in width, and
is now built up on both sides. Between I'd
and Sd streets it is pocket, with but one
outlet. A visit there will convince any one
that a serious Mistake was made. AS the
strip desired is but two squares in length,
and as it is urgently needed. the large main
having been laid to each end thereof, why
not open the street to Its proper width, and
not make another alley out of a public
street? T. r. SENIOR.

Long Bridge Draw Nearly Complete.

The parts of the steel draw of the new
Long bridge Is almost all assembled to-
gether and a big force of iron workers IS
tusily engaged In putting the bolts and big
rivets In place. The new draw Is a big
structure. made up of massive steel beams
and braces, supported on the central pier
by cOgged railway track with numerous
gear wheels. which constitute the turning
machinery under it. The construction Of
the steel spans of the new bridge 1t is stat
eG, will be started early in the next month
and an increased force Of hands will be
employed on the work.
The work of clearing up the wreckage of
the draw of the wooden bridge is still going
on. and the diver spends several hours un-
der the water daily attaching the ropes to
the heavy timbers to enable the powerful
derrick TO raise them. The baggage car
which went into the river when the draw
fell is still in the water, but has been
drawn on the shoals near the Potomac
Park walls and is showing above the water.
One end of the car is crushed. but the re-
rainder seems to be intact
