IMPROVING IRVING STREET.
Large Expenditure Of Funds Would
Be Necessary

The Brookland Citizens Association,
having Endorsed and amplfied the recent
request Of Chief Engineer Belt of the fire
department that Irving street be graded
and macadamized from 18th street to Goth
street northeast, and from oath street to
Rhode Island avenue, the Commissioners
have referred the matter to Capt. Jay j.
Morrow, assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner. The chief argument in favor
OF such an Improvement is that it will
enable the fremen apparatus of No. II en-
CINE company, located on Monroe street
near 18th street. Brookland, TO reach the
scene OF any fire in Langdon, at the Re
form School and elsewhere IN that terri
tory at least fifteen minutes earlier than
at present, because Irving street would
afford practically a direct run.
Capt Morrow stated that such an improve
ment is proposed would involve a large
expenditure of District funds as well as
the dedication of portions Of the projected
thoroughfare as are not yet on the city
plan. He suggested that the papers in
the case be placed in the suburban I'M
provement file for consideration In the
preparation of future estimates.
