Extension of AlbemarIe Street.

The Commissioners today recommended
to Congress the passage of bill provid-
ing for the extension of Albemarle street
between Connecticut avenue and Broad
Branch road. The cost of the land to be
condemned for this improvement is esti-
mated at $780, All other land necessary
for the extension has been dedicated to
the District without cost
The bill provides for exemption from
assessments for benefits against remaining
portions of land adjoining the tracts dedi-
Gated. The Commissioners in their report
on the bill state that while they believe
that the fact that dedications have been
made by the owners Of adjacent property
should be taken into consideration by the
jury Is assessing benefits. yet they do not
believe that specific exemption should be
made in the bill. for the reason that the
benefits to be derived from the opening
of the street might be larger than the value
of the ground dedicated.

Excise Board Defers Action Temperate
~ on Club Applications for License.


The members of the District excise board
had intended to begin today the considera-
ton of applications for liquor licenses pre-
scented by the clubs. but it was decided this
morning to defer action on the applications
until after next Monday. The purpose or
this postponement, 1t Is stated, Is to allow
the members of the board time in which to
make a personal investigation Of club Or
CARNATIONS in the city. The members Will
start tomorrow morning on the tour OF in
vestigation.
The excise board has as yet received no
written protest from any club against the
enforcement of the new rule relative to the
hours within which the organizations may
dispense liquors. There seems to be no
organized opposition to the restrictions. ana
it is believed that all will acquiesce in the
new order of the excise board. Members
and officers of several prominent CLUBS IN
the CITY have asked the board for specific
information relative to the new order, stat.
ing that they wish to change the rules OF
their clubs to conform to the RESTRICTIONS

Transfer Of Trains at Shepherds Dis
continued

1t is stated that the transfer of freight
trains between Alexandria and Shepherds
Landing, D. c., has been discontinued and
may not be resumed, as the crews of both
the night and day shifts have been laid Off.
The reason assigned for the withdrawal is
the heavy Ice in the river, but the barge
had been able to make almost all her regu-
lar trips. The trains of the Baltimore and
Ohio railway, which were formerly trans
ferred at Shepherds to Alexandria, are now
sent south over the Long bridge, and this
new traffic arrangement makes the railway
ferry unnecessary. The railway ferry has
been in continuous service for over a quar-
ter of a century.
