NEW STORES ON l4THST,
RESULT OF A CHANGE I'M PROP
ERTY OWNERSHIP.

Activity along l,Ie limo Of 14th street busi-
ness property continues. A sale has Just
been completed by which Mr.. q. L. Petit
becomes the owner Of the northwest corner
OF 14th and Florida avenue.
The lot has a frontage on both streets of
about 1873 feet, and Mr.. Petit Is now hay
ing plans drawn for the erection Of SIX one
story stores.
The building Of large number Of flats
and apartment houses in the immediate
section referred to seems to be the reason
for the increased demand for stores on
14th street, and, with one or two exceptions,
the west side of the street is now one solid
line of stores from Rhode Island avenue
to Florida avenue, a distance of more than
twelve squares. The deal was made by the
H. R. Howenstein Company.

The filling has sufficiently settled to allow
Nav Use Wood block Pavement.

Several municipal engineers are of the
opinion that the modern wooden block
pavement could be used to advantage on
these streets and the plaza. 1t Is pointed
out that the wooden pavement now In use
In all the large cities of Europe and in New
York and Boston are far different from the
wooden pavement with which Washington
had expe rieuce in the 1os. This type
of pavement Is considered the best for many
reasons, principally on account Of its dura-
bilty under heavy concentrated traffic, its
noiselessneSs and from a sanitary point of
REV. The blocks are treated with creosote
and are laid on a concrete foundation. This
type of pavement Is especially desired by
the cab company who Will make large use
of these streets.
The question of the selection of the type
of pavement. however will not be decided
for some time In the future. the macadam
answering the purposes OF Il temporary eX-
pedient. An appropriation of Sl0oWN VIII
be asked of Congress to provide for this
Temporary paving at the coming session.
and 1t is expected that by the time the
railroads commence bringing trains to the
new station that the streets leading thereto
WIFI be in good condition.
Umbrella Type Of Shed.
The Use OF the umbrella type of shed for
the tracks In the station having been de-
cided upon. work uron the erection of the
necessary twenty eight rows of these sheds
will be commenced Immediately. This con-
on the present style of train sheds In use
In all the large depots of the country.
Each platform between the tracks is am
ply protected. while the space over the
tracks will allow the smoke and steam from
the engines to escape. These sheds will
extend from the station to about the line
of II street, and their erection on the newly
filled ground Will necessitate the use OF
concrete piles to support them. The con-
tract for this pilng has been awarded to
the Crawford Paving Company of this city.
and work will be commenced Immediately.
Pleased With Progress.
The meeting yesterday was. called at the
request of Mr. d. II. Burnham. the archi-
tect of the station building. He expressed
himself as well pleased with the progress
of the work. and with the fact that the
many details In connection with the i'm
mepse undertaking We're working out so
nicely. Mr. Burnhan has representative
on the work at all times and keeps in close
touch with its progress.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has dis
continued the of that portion of its so
called Washington branch line occupying

Its trains over the new line from Montello

removal of this line will be q great relief
to the citizens of East Washington, as it

ELECTRIC ROAD FOR NoRrHFIELo
Definite Movement to Raise Money TO
Build a Road by Way Of Mt. Hermon
and Bernardston.

bulld hoau ny way " WN ''N'"~'
and 6ernardston.
The following circular letter has been
printed and put in circulation this week:
Mortified, Mass, Jan. 49, 1905.
AS YOU are we'll aware, one of the great
est drawbacks to a larger and more rapid
growth for Mortified, is its lack Of ade-
quate transportation to and from the
town Tire town is too scattered for this
lack to be supplied by an increase In the
number or efficiency of the train service
hence, the only feasible solution OF this
problem is an electric road.
After careful and impartial calculation
Of the route, based on cost of road Its
equipment and the expense of running
with its probable income, It has been fully
demonstrated to us that an electric road
from Northfleld to Greenfield, taking IN
Mt Hermon and Bernardston, can be
made to pay. 1t has at one terminal the
county seat with a population of 92OO
at the other terminal Mortified with 2lOO,
and on the route, Bernardston with 800,
and Mt. Hermon school and vicinity with
600 or more. A total of nearly $4,000 peo-
pie to draw from. In addition to these,
during the summer. there would be thou
sands of visitors who would take trolley
rides from Mortified to the Mt. Hermon
school, Bernardston (Which is growing
each year to be more widely known as
summer resort, ana thence uOWu tnIouBH
the Connecticut valley.
The building of this electric road will
benefit every citizen of the towns on the
route Not only will they be benefited
by increased accommodations afforded
them, but in lower taxes, increased value
and greater demand for property. prob
ably street lights. and assistance toward
the improvement of the towns high
ways.
This road is needed: II is wanted: it
will benefit the town; it will benefit you.
We need your help in order to put this
project through.
We would be pleased to receive your
subscription for whatever amount Of
stock you feel able to take, and herewith
enclose to you a blank for that purpose.
And We will say at this time. that had
we not confidence in the dividend paying
ability of the proposed road we would not
ask our friends and nelghbors to make
this investment
That We may secure outside capital at
low rate of interest we wish to show
that the citizens of the towns along the
line and heartily In sympathy with us and
want the road, and II is for your inter-
est as well as ours that liberal subscrip-
lions be received, and the road thus as
sured at an early date.
