The American comments editorihliy
upon this letter AZ follows
The proposal 10 construct n apien-
did modern highway leading from the
national capital to the battlefield OF
Gettysburg. 10 be known IA the Iln-
coin Way, In one that has undoubtedly
touched popular sentiment throughout
the country aa being the very bcst
solution Of the question how the rev
crence for Ilncoln'a memory should be
expressed Eventually this groa,
scheme will be realized. and II is quite
within the reasonable probability that
the sl1iy-iirEt Congress will make pro-
vision for a start upon this under.
taking. which, in It's full realization,
must consume n considerable period
OF time. The fact OF the erection OF
n memorial structure TO Lincoln with
In the City OF Washington should not
and will not interfere with the carry
ing out OF the conception NJ a noble
highway 10 be known as the Lincoln
Way.
This method Of honoring IAncoln's
memory has already excited a tremen-
doua expression Of approving senti-
mont. and the discussion of the scheme
is not going to be dropped There is
not the least antagonism. but on the
contrary, general harmony between
the plans for memorial structure In
the capital city and tho memorial road.
The Endorsement by the National
Good Roads Association when II as
sembles In this city In April, OF the
proposal 10 construct such a stately
highway, and a further declaration
favoring the extending of the road by
the way OF Baltimore. will bring the
plan many steps nearer to realization. ="
The route advocated by Baltimore
ans runs from Washington 20 Baltl-

Gettysburg.

HOPE FOR HIGHWAY
BALTIhOREONS THINK BOULEVARD

Too Good a Proposition TO Be Hastily
Abandoned

Hon. Martin Dodge, first vice presi-
dent OF the National Good Roads AS
sociation, has written the following
letter TO Gen Felix Agnus. Of the Bal
timore American:
Dear Sir---I recall your conversation
over the telephone In which you sug-
gested that the National Good Roads
Association ought 20 favor the Lin
coin Memorial as proposed from Wash
'ington TO Gettysburg, and that the road
should be extended from Washington
TO Baltimore My nrst thought was
that II would be unwiae for the Ma
tional Association To take the matter
up, because the policy Of the assooia-
ton heretofore has always been to
work for certain general principles.
rather than for any specific road or
roads. We contend for state and ma
tioual AID. as a general proposition,
being extended 10 each and every part
of the country. but upon further refiec-
tion on your suggestion ! am satisfied
that IL will be both wise and timely 10
have resolution introduced and pass
cd at the forthcoming National Good
Roads Convention In baltimore next
April indorsing the Lincoln Memorial
Road aud It's extension 20 Baltimore
| am led To thia conclusion largely
because ] feel that Ia the near future
we can attain the result for which you
contend. In this connection | desire
to call your attention 70 an important
fact bearing upon the question, which
! think Will greatly aid US. The Wash
ington. Baltimore and Annapolis Elce-
tric Railroad has lately provided rapid
transit and local connection between
Washington and baltimore, with an
entrance into the heart Of each OF
these great cities, The territory ad-
iacent TO this road IL being rapidly sub
divided and allotted for residence pur-
poses. Beginning NJ The Washington

eight or nine miles toward Baltimore.

nous agreement. laid ont street par

BUILDING WORK
NOT VERY BRISK
Inspector Johnson has a Dull
Week in Way Of
Permits

The record for dullnoss in the build
ing line was reached this week and un-
less something big happens today il
will probably be marked as the slow
est week of any for many years. The
new year cewainly has not started in
with any bright prospects but then
one never can tell what may happen.
not even Building Inspector Johnson
who is supposed to be gifted with a
spirit Of prophecy in these matters.
During the week, however, the wealth
er has been unfavorable for beginning
new projects. The ground is hard with
frost and the snow fall has made con-
tractors wary about commencing oper-
ations on new buildings. Under these
circumstances they have held off with
the hope that more favorable weather
would come soon. There is an guam
uty Of labor and contractors will not
be handicapped by the failure TO Sc
cure enough men to finish their work.
Probably at no other time for several
years has there been such a scarcity
Of jobs and such a number OF appli-
cants. This is particularly true in the
unskilled lines Of work such as dig
ging for foundations, carting stones
and bricks or acting as helpers TO
trained worlSmen.
With the plans that are under con-
sideration by several architects of the
city it is probable that within a few
days a boom will be started and the
Building Inspectors office be flooded
with applicants OF permits This has
been the experience of the past and not
unlikely TO happen again.
The only permits issued up TO yes
terday at noon when Building Inspec-
tor Johnson closed his Office for the
day We're given on Tuesday. One was
for a store, bakery and dwelling in
Maryland avenue between Linden and
Elm streets. 1t will be built for Stan
ley Schelich by Martin Tenezyk. a con-
tractor. the cost to be about $4,000.
A permit was also issued for two
brick dwellings, on the north side OF
Delaware avenue between Rodney and
Clayton streets for Gibbons and Moore
The contract has been awarded to A
s. Reed and Sons
Permits to make alterations to the
building at No. 1925 Market street. anC
TO the building on the southwest corner
Of Third and Lombard streets wher,
an addition will also be made, wer,
issued. The cost Of the first win b,
about sl75 and of the second about
S575.
