OPENING OF 0 STREET
UNDER DISCUSSION
RittenhOuse Estate Would
Sell Right-of-W Way.
PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION
Georgetown Citizens Would Have APP
preparation Sufficient to Pur-
chase Property.

Georgetown citizens are again agitat-
ing the plan for the condemnation of the
old Rittenhouse property, which now
stands at the head of @ Street near its
intersection with Twenty-sixth Street. A
scheme for opening I'D that desirable
thoroughfare is receiving much support
from the property owners west of Rock
Creek
rumor was current yesterday to the
effect that the Rittenhouse estate con-
templated opening up Q Street at its own
expense, provided the city and National
Government would construct bridge
connecting @ Street, Georgetown. with
Q Street, Washington. This was denied,
however, by members of the estate, who
declared that they would go TO no per-
sonal expense, but were willing to dis
pose of the necessary property at
nominal figure if it were 10 be used for
that purpose.
Petitions Circulated.
The Georgetown citizens are at pres
ent busy circulating petitions to be pre-
scented to the next Congress. asking for
an appropriation sufficient to purchase
the property and construct the bridge.
The idea is also meeting with sup
port from the property owners on Q
Street, Washington. which. were such a
scheme carried out, would be the pop
uiar driveway between the eastern and
western sections of the National Capt.
tai
The question of a desirable driveway
which would lead from the newer Wash
ington to and through the most attrac-
tive portion of the older Washington
has been one that has long troubled the
property owners in Georgetown. This
is particularly true of those who own
horses and carriages
Difficult to Approach.
The two lower bridges. at P street
and Pennsylvania avenue, are difficult
TO approach because of the grades and
narrow streets adjacent and the danger
encountered by crossing the tracks of
the street railways. The street drive
way would enable pedestrians and car
rage owners TO reach Washington by a
safer. more picturesque and more direct
route.
The right of way through the Ritten-
house property can be purchased for a
very reasonable sum, as it is to the
advantage of the estate to continue and
connect the street. Such plan would
necessitate the moving of the old Rit-
tenhouse mansion. which would be set
further back on the property Nothing
definite can be done, however. until Con-
gress convenes. and then the matter
viii be taken up with an increased in
terest.
