| portion of the District bounded generally by
| Rock Creek Park and the Geological Park
| on the west and North Capitol street on
| the east, and includes many outlying subdi-

| selected by the Commissioners with a view
to having them conform to the system but
suggestions for minor changes will be con-

conform to the system adopted

state that the numbered streets Will carry
their titles northwardy to the District line
and the lettered streets, as far as the end
of the alphabet, are to be extended into the
district outside of the old city limit at Flor

| ed, names of two sylables, alphabetically
arranged. are given until the alphabet is
again exhausted, and then names of three
