AGAINST REMOVAL.
Resolution in Opposition to Abolition
of Alley Houses.

To remove the shacks and small houses
from the alleys of the worst class would be
decided disaster to the city, and force
upon the people the care of those now liv-
ing in these houses. This is the opinion ex-
pressed in a resolution adopted by the
South Washington Citizens Association at
the meeting of that body held last night,
the resolution being adopted on the motion
of G. H. Sanford.
Mr.. Sanford said that the passage of the
bill which has passed the House and is
now before the Senate committee for con-
sideration, would be harmful to the people
of the District. He argued that those who
live in the alleys and are now able to make
a small living, will, in the event OF the en-
actment of the bill into law, be FORCED from
the only homes which they can MAINTAIN
and driven upon the public as charges. Not
withstanding the Contention of some that
the raZing of the shacks Will Improve the
conditions of the people and the health OF
the city, he said that the Denents thus
gained would be more than Offset by the
disadvantages of having the support of
these people forced upon the Dlstrlct by
taking from them their homes.
The resolution was adopted by the ASSOC
citation, although there was no DEBATE OF
Mr.. Sanford's statements.
Several other complaints We're made by
the association. among them one against
the sounding of whistles by locomotives
during the night on that line OF railroad
between the Long bridge and Az street. 1t
was also resolved to ask the Commissioners
to amend the building regulation that now
obtains compelling the erection of walls not
less than thirteen inches thick on all build
ings. The association believes this to be
unjust to those owners whose lots are less
than fifteen feet wide, and suggests that
the regulations be amended so as to limit
to nine inches the diameter of walls on lots
less than fifteen feet wide, where the build
ings to be erected are not to be more than
two stories In height
Concrete walks are wanted In the grounds
of the Smithsonian Institution at the 10th
and 18th street entrances on the south, and
Col Symons, superintendent of public
buildings and grounds will be asked to have
them constructed.
