KENSINGTON ITEMS.
Town Council Begins the Work of I'm

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
KENSINGTON. Md. July q. 1903.
large force Of men; Is at work on the
improvements to Connecticut avenue, which
are said to be the first step in the direc-
ton Of reconstructing all of the streets of
the town. Kensington has been surveyed
by a competent engineer, and profiles of
all the streets made and a map showing
the proposed grade to which they will be
made to conform. The council realized
that the making of profies wars absolutely
necessary to establish permanent grades
as a basis for all future work
In the past there has been. 1t is said. too
much speculation with the eye, and conse-
quently grades have been established at
such random as to require changes when
repairs were necessary in any of the
streets. The purpose of the council Is to
reconstruct the streets as to give thor
oughfare through the town from the up
per part of the county and Wheaton to
Washington and, if possible, to macadam-
iZe and gutter that street throughout its
entire length within the corporate limits
of the town. To do this fully, however,
depends, it is said on the action of a syn
north side of the town.
1t Is highly desira BILE, 1t is said, that the
street should be widened considerably at
the intersection of Dupont and ST. Paul
ST. Paul street at that point to run 1t
across to join in straight line with the
county road, and to abandon the old por-
ton. The syndicate referred to has been
requested to dedicate enough of it's land
to do this. Mr. George Duvall already has
signitied his willingness to dedicate nearly
as much of his land as is asked for of the
syndicate.
The county authorities have been inter-
ested in the proposed improvements and
have expressed their intention of bettering
the condition of the street outside the
northern boundary of the town.

Mr.. Francis NJ. Fraley, a well-known
farmer Of the vicinity of Redland, this
county, and his son. Harry Fraley. were
before Clifford H. Robertson, justice of the
peace, here yesterday to answer charge
of trespass. The warrant was issued at
the instance of Edgar H. Cashell, whose
farm adjoins that Of Fraley. There is a
dispute as to the line between the two
places. and as the title is involved. Justice
Robertson decided that he had no jurisdic-
ton and dismissed the case.
Mr.. Cashell contends that the Fraleys
have been trespassing on the property in
question, which consists Of about three
acres of land, for the past two years and
that recently the elder F'raley cut there
from wheat which Cashell had planted.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Cashell served
notice on the Fraleys not to trespass, and
as the warning was not needed the war
rant was sworn out. The Fraleys claim
that they went upon the land by authority
of Mr.. John w. Fraley, to whom, they
claim, 1t belongs
1t is understood that Mr.. Cashell will
institute suit to determine the title.
