The report includes the following rec
concentrations:
To grade and improve Adams Mill road
from the south line of the Geological
Park northward. as the land has been
acquired by condemnation proceedings.
$4,000; to grade and improve Summit
and improve 18th street northward from
Ontario road. 81 800; to complete the inn
provement of 18th street from Florida
avenue to the Columbia road. grade.
widen and macadamize. 81 COO to grade
the parkage on the east side Of 10th
street from street north to Euclid.
There is a granolithic walk on the east
side OF 18th street which at almost all
times is covered with dirt, so that pedes-
trians are forced into the street and are
graded as herein suggested the dirt from
the high bank instead of falling upon the
pavement would fall upon the parking.
We respectfully suggest that the owners
of the property should be required to keep
the pavement clean. inasnuch as their
lot is so far above the grade that the
earth is continually covering it.
TO grade and improve Belmont street
from 10Th street westward as far as
thought advisable to open said Belmont
street at least to the line OF 18th street
if extended on a straight line north
ward.
For Arch Dedicated to Peace.

the heights of Meridian Hill, to span 10th
street and to face the White House. an
arch of white granite or marble. dedi-
Gated to the arts of peace and everlast-
ing union of the American states.
To extend Onta 10 place from or near it's
intersection with the Adams Mill road due
westward and thence by a duly curved
line southwark to connect with the sta
ton of the Capital Traction Railway
Company on Calvert street. as will be
shown by the map of section one of the
street extension plan of the District of
Columbia.
To extend Lanier place westward from
the present terminus to Mount Pleasant
place.
There should be a granolithic walk put
down on kalorama road from Champlain
avenue to 18th street. and the curbing
should be set and trees planted. This
highway is destined to become of great
Importance as thoroughfare, part'cu-
larly now since it has been opened to 18th
street. and it would be of great advan-
tage not only to the property owners. but
to the general public, to have it put in
good shape.
