NEW TROLLEY LINE PLANS.
Officials in Conference With District
Engineer Department.

Engineer Department.
S. S. Yoder. vice president and general
manager Of the Washington, Spa Springs
and Gretta railroad. which is projected
to run into the District along Bladensburg
road. has been in frequent conference
with officials of the engineer department
Of the District government recently re-
garding the approval OF the plans of the
road construction and the cost of putting
the street on which the tracks are laid
in good shape after the railway roadbed
is in place.
The bill which Congress passed to give
the railroad a franchise to lay its tracks
along Bladensburg road provides that the
railroad company, shall widen the road
way fifteen feet on each side of its tracks
to give space for teams. As the tracks
will be laid in the center Of the present
roadway, and 1t is SO narrow that they
will occupy practically the entire width of
the present improved road, this provision
means practically that the railroad COM
pany must construct a new road from the
District line to its terminus near 10Th
and H streets northeast.
G. B. Hunt. engineer of highways, and
other officials of that department are busy
getting figures to show the cost of that
work. They will be submitted to the rail-
road officials in short time. The grades
and alignment for the road have been
fixed by the engineer OF highways.

POOR LIGHT N SCHOOLROOMS
SUBJECT OF SPECIAL REPORT
FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE.
Attention Of District Commissioners
Called to Conditions at Lovejoy
and Douglass Buildings.

Poor lighting of schoolrooms in the
Lovejoy Annex and the Fred Douglass
schools is the subject of a special report
submitted to the District Commissioners
through Health officer w. c. Woodward.
by Dr. c. A. Tignor, medical inspector
Of public schools.
Il wish to call attention to the poor
ness of the light in both these buildings,
due to the fact that the windows are
frosted says Dr. Tignor of the two
schools in question. The Lovejoy an
mex consists of one room. used for school
purposes and is situated on the upper
floor of a building that is used as a
church. This building is located on
11th street between F and G streets
northeast.
Il recommend in the case Of the Fred
Douglass School that the frost be scraped
from the windows and green shades be
substituted. In the case of the Lovejoy
Annex / do not see that anything can
be done at present, owing to the fact that
II is church and most of the windows
are stained, and yet the light is so poor
that this morning. on account of the
darkness caused by cloudiness of the
weather, school work had to be entirely
suspended"
Why Ashton Refused.
Reporting on the matter. Building In
spector Snowden Ashford said:
I'm the case Of the Douglass School. l
beg to say that in the past two years
l have refused to comply with the re-
quests of the board of education to frost
the windows of the District schools. for
the reasons that it interferes with the
proper light, as shown by this report,
and furthermore, that when windows are
broken 1t gives mottled effect when
they are replaced by new lights The
superintendent Of repairs will remove
the frost from the windows rapidly
as possible. though it has been found
almost impossible without removing the
glass and substituting clear glass.
1.-The Lovejoy Annex is not a District
building and therefore the funds or ap-
preparation for repairs cannot be ex-
pended on this property. 1 recommend
that the report in regard to this building
be sent to the board of education"

Lots to Be Acquired for Bureau Of
Engravinr Extension.

Engraving Extension.
Proceedings have been instituted In the
District Supreme Court to clear the title
to several lots embraced in the territory
to be acquired by the government for the
extension Of the bureau OF engraving and
printing. The necessity Of the proceed
ings arises from the failure Of one of the
original grantors to record a deed in the
District in 1903. Samuel Sterret was the
original owner. and In the deed which
conveyed the property that the govern
ment is now buying he also disposed Of
some property in Pennsylvania. The deed
was placed on record in Philadelphia, but
was not filed in the District, a certified
copy having been used for that purpose.
The government has refused to pay
over the money for the new site until
this is done. A delay of two or three
months is likely to result.
