RHODE ISLAND AVENUE.
Appeal for Its Improvement Between
18th and Oath Streets Northwest

The opening and grading of Rhode Island
avenue, from 14th street to oath street
northeast is not only an act OF justice TO
the residents of that locality, but a PUBLIC
necessity as well, according to the state
ments made before the District Commission
ers today by representatives of the Lang
don and Brookland Citizens Associations.
The citizens who appeared before the
Commissioners to urge that the authorities
include in their estimates an item for the
opening and grading of Rhode Island ave-
nue. between the points mentioned, consist
ed of Mr.. E. A. M Lawson, president Lang
don Citizens Association; Col. E. e. Town
send, president of Mt. Pleasant Citizens
Association: Mr.. John McPhaul of the
Brookland Citizens Association; DR.. John
| s. Dorsey and Messrs. Joseph e. Cooley,
F. H. Hough n. A. Kestler, j. L. knopp, j.
P. Baker and Charles A. Brown.
Mr. Lawson declared that the Langdon
association is willing to sacrifice every 9th
| er proposed street improvement in that
section if necessary, in order to secure the
| opening of Rhode Island avenue. This i'm
provement, he said, is considered the most
| important to the northeast section. The
estimated cost of the extension is about
| $42, 600.
Mr.. McPhaul stated that the citizens of
Brookland are are largely interested in the
opening of Rhode Island avenue He stated
that brentwood rOau by means O1 winch
groceries and lumber, etc, are hauled to
| Langdon is merely a country road east of
| 14th street, and that 1t is unsatisfactory for
| heavy hauling.
Col. Townsend declared that public ne
cessity as well as justice to the residents
| of the northeast section demands that
Rhode Island avenue be opened. That
| thoroughfare occupies the same relative
| position to the northeast that Connecticut
| and Massachusetts, avenues occupy toward
| the northwest. He declared that for eight
| cen years past the citizens have oeen urg-
| ing the opening of Rhode Island avenue to
| the District line. He also stated that a
| small portion of that street between Glen
wood avenue and 4th street east should be
improved. The time has come, Col. Town
| send said. for the improvement of this
street. and in view of the conditions he be-
| lieved the Commissioners would see their
| way clear to include the item in their es-
| Inmates to Congress.
| Several other citizens urged the Com
| missoners to recommend the improvement.
| At the close of the hearing Commissioner
Macfarland stated that the Commissioners
| have always been friendly toward the i'm
| provement of Rhode Island avenue, and
| that their attitude toward that improve
| ment has not changed.
