GOOD PAVEMENT FOR OLD
ST. MATTHEW'S CORNER
Worst Sidewalk in Town to Be Super
ceeded by Cement.

One item IN the list OF sidewalk i'm
provemeats ordered to be advertised by
the District Commissioners will be read
with gratitude by many Washington
ans This item contempIates the laying
Of a cement sidewalk on the east side CT
Fifteenth Street northwest. between II
and Streets. and on the north side
OF H Street, between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Streets.
The effect of this action viii be the
removal Of the old brick walk on two
sides OF the square, and in providing
modern footways about the corner or
Fifteenth and H Streets where ST. Mat
thew's Church stands A worse piece
Of sidewalk probably does not exist
In the Capital City. and yet il das re
manned there in much frequented
street since the days OF the Shepherd
regime.
The Improvement Of this sidewalk was
recently the subject OF complaint on
the part Of former Senator William e
Chandler, who called the District Com
missioners TO task for not exercising
their authority 10 displace these worn
out footways by something better The
matter has been thoroughly investigated
by the Commissioners. 1t was only d
year ago that the law was passed giving
the Board authority to order cement
sidewalks and 10 assess one-half the
cost against church property. This,
as explained by the Engineer Commits
sioner, in answer to The letters of Mr..
Chandler was the obstacle which has
kept the Improvement from being made
all these years.
Now the Commissioners have author
ity 20 take that action, and upon the re-
quest Of some of the other property
holders interested have taken the pre-
liminary steps 10 make the improve
ment. The date OF the hearing is set
for May s, and then, II no insuperabIe
objections are presented. the work viii
be ordered and should be done by July
