EXTENSION OF AN AVENUE.
Mr.. c. G. GIover's Donation of Eleven
Acres of Ground.

Carrying out his offer a few days ago.
which has since been accepted, Mr.. Charles
c. Glover yesterday wrote a letter to the
Commissioners, formally authorizing them
to record the dedication of a plat of ground
of approximately eleven acres in area for the
extension of Massachusetts avenue between
the District line and point just southeast
of Wisconsin avenue. Mr.. Glover also
stated that similar action might be
taken by the Commissioners with reference
to dedications on the line of Massachu-
sets avenue by the American University
and others, all without conditions. The
dedication of the tract owned by Mr..
Glover, he states, was made and signed by
him on July 4, 1908.
The only request made in the dedication of
this great strip of land, which is variously
estimated to be worth 81, 500 to $1,000 per
acre. is that the Commissioners will permit
existing fences to remain until such time
as appropriations are made by Congress
for the improvement of the avenue and
the District desires to go upon the land for
the purpose of improving the roadway with
macadam.
At the last session of Congress $4,000
was appropriated and the Commissioners
were authorized to extend Massachusetts
avenue this year. 1t has since been stated,
however, that an additional appropriation
will be necessary, although much of the
land has already been dedicated, and an
estimate of the amount needed will prob
ably be made for presentation at the next
session of Congress.

well filled with vehicles at the time and
there were many pedest TRANS on the street

taChed TO the buggy started to run.
The automobile and the wheels Of the
carriage were locked together, however
and this held the horse until some bystand-

his progress. The peculiar interlocking of
the two vehicles prevented the runaway.
After the accident the two rear wheels of
the buggy were found to have been smash
ed and the lamp OF the motor was broken.
Mr. Jacobsen stated to the police that he
would pay the damages.

communication from the inspectors, noti-
Tying them of the action taken by the Of

read follows:

this day dismissed the case growing out
of the coil sion on July 4. 1906, between the

rnent ana the District surveyor regarding
the ownership Of an alley in the block
bounded By II. Prospect. s7th ana Coiiese
streets northwest was settled yesterday by
an opinion handed down by Corporation
Counsel Thomas. In favor OF the health de-
partmsnt's contention.
The matter came up q short time ago In
connection with q report by Inspector
Whitaker Of the health department. that
the alley waa in filthy condition and that.
In his opinion, 1t had not been cieansed
since 1t was dedicated. Surveyor Richards
stated that the records OF his Office showed
no such alley to be in existence.
Corporation Counsel Thomas finding is
to the effect that land for the purposes
of a public alley" in the square was con-
veyed by George W. Castelar, to the District
of Columbia May IS. 1898, and he adds to
this convincing argument the statement
that sewer has since been constructed
therein. The outcome of the decision will
be that the Commissioners will instruct the

the alley in the schedule of the street
cleaners.
