GAS STOCK ADVANCES.
Last Day of Sale With Extra
Dividend.

AS the stock transfer books of the
Washington Gas Company will be closed
Monday, to enable the company to pay the
extra dividend. today was the last occa-
sion when the stock will be sold with the
dividend privileges
On Monday 1t will be offered ex-dividend.
The transactions on the floor Of the Wash
ington stock exchange reflected this condi-
ton. There was quite a large dealing in
the stock and under the influence of the
demand the price advanced. closing at S5A
for small lots. Yesterday the highest figure
reached was S4h but that was only for
five shares.
The present prices show q reaction from
the decline which has been quite apparent
for the past week or SO, the highest price
reached since the announcement of the ex-
ira dividend about q month ago having
been IS.
On the basis of the ruling price of today.
which was IS, 1t is calculated that the stock
will sell ex-divident at about 81 per share.
The new $40 6 per cent certificates of In
rate of a $50 certificate to each share OF
stock will. 1t is supposed, sell at pre-
MUM of 50, SO that the dividend on each
share of stock will amount to $23. At the
prevailing market price OF today the STOCK
ex-dividend would be quoted at $62
There is a plentiful crop of rumors about
the future of this stock. and the talk is
still heard about probable sale of the
company Exactly who are to be the pur-
chasers is only vaguely indicated, and, In
fact in it's present stage the gossip seems
to be largely conjecture. At any rate Il
is not claimed that anything is to be done
before next fall.

Response to Complaint.

William Zimmerman of l37 F street north
east has written to the Commissioners
asking that provision be made in the con-
II acts for removal of buildings from the
site of the new union station for the use
of water TO prevent the raising of dust.
The inspector of buildings has reported
that slight trouble has been experienced
in requiring parties to obtain permits for
the work and the large number of buildings
necessitates a great amount of extra work
on the part of the assistant of the building
inspector In issuing permits. All permits
require that material shall be wet TO allay
the dust Capt. Chester Harding has rec
commended that the writer shall be inform
ed that all permits bear this condition.

entered by robbers last night. could not
give an estimate of the value of the goods

that practically all of the goods had been

MY opinion is that 1t was the intention
of the robbers to come back at night and
pick up the packages thrown from the

contained valuable express matter such as
would naturally be selected by the robbers.
The car was locked before 1t left Chicago

FIFTY FEET IN WIDTH
DECISION REGARDING ROADWAY
OF 14TH STREET EXTENDED.
North of Park Street and Whitney
Avenue-Parking Space for
Property Owners.

The Commissioners have definitely de-
termined that the roadway of 14th street
north OF Park street and Whitney avenue
shall be fifty feet In width. This width,
the engineering officers of the local govern
ment believe, is sufficient to care for the
traffic on the thoroughfare for many years
to come. even with the double car tracks
1t is proposed to extend on the street. 1t
was pointed out at the District building to-
day that the roadway of Connecticut ave-
nue. In the city is but fifty feet wide and
that this width is found sufficient.
Below the intersection of Whitney ave-
nue. and Park street the roadway of 14th
street is fifty-siX feet wide as far south
as Florida avenue. From Florida avenue
south through the city the roadway is
seventy feet, this being the widest thor
oughfare having street car tracks on 1t in
the city, with the exception of Pennsylva-
MIA avenue. street has roadway width
of fifty feet.
proposed extension of 14th street so feet
wide is to give a parking space to the
property owners. South of Park street the
width from building line to building line is
but eighty feet. whereas along the proposed
extension the width will be ITO feet. At
present the building line width Immediate
ly north of Park street is but ninety-five
feet, as the buildings at the north
ject out some distance from the new line.
The Stratford Hotel, however, sets upon
the new line and represents the width as
1t will be north of that point. There is
strip of land north of the Stratford where
the new line has not been established, but
as houses are as yet built upon the
property the authorities are hopeful of Sc
curing the cooperation of the owners In
making the building line uniform.
Between Building Lines.
This 10 feet of space between building
lines will give ample opportunity for the
widening of the roadway when the re-
quirements of the situation demand. The
authorities look to 10th street, however,
to divert good deal of the traffic from
upper 18th street extended, therefore be-
lieve the fifty-foot roadway sufficient.
A present there is no appropriation for
the Improvement of 18th street north of
Park The only action taken by the Com
missioners In that vicinity indicating their
purpose to make the roadway fifty feet
wide Is the laying of cement sidewalk on
Sheridan avenue, and projecting the 18th
street end of the walk out to the approved
curb line of the new roadway width. A
new sidewalk is to be laid on the west side
of 14th street from Park street to Sheridan
avenue and this Will be brought out to the
new curb line also.
1t is stated that the f1fty-six feet of road
way width just south of Park street was
merely an accident. as 1t was decided to
lay twelve-foot sidewalks, allowing the
roadway to fall at what figure 1t might
Fifty-six feet is an odd figure. but there
was no parking space along here, and so it
was decided to let the six feet above the
estimated fifty-fo roadway width so into
the street.
