The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1911-12-29

K. X, asked permission for his company
to construct a track on Commerce street
which runs from Carroll street East to the
packing plant of Ross & Staley. This
track will facilitate easier shipment of
live stock. Referred to the committee on
streets.
Rev. |. M. Motter appeared before the
Board with the bills for the curbing and
macadam work. with Tarva, done on
East Second street. He explained he
was willing to pay for the curb and gut
ter, but objected to paving for the Tarva
street. This street, he said, is a mass of
black dust or mud as weather conditions
prevail. This is carried over pavements,
floor porches and into houses, and he
said he defied anyone to remove the
stains produced He further said the
dust collected on windows and about the
houses, and was of greasy character and
could not be removed. 1t was suggested
TO him that he let the matter stand a
while. and see if he was not better pleas
ed with the street.
The city engine used last summer for
pumping water from Lakin's spring into
the pipes leading to the reservoir was
rented to E. T. Grove, the price to be
paid is S. 90 per diem
Mr.. K. c. Crum, city engineer, was in
structed TO propose a map of the city
with reference to buildin S, streets, curb
line. &c
A new plat of the farm of R. Clinton
Zmmerman's, west of this city, was sub
mtted to the Board for adoption BY Mr..
Rohrback attorney for the Zlmmerman's
He explains Mr. Zimmerman was desir-
GUS of opening up the land, and to sell it
for lots. and had Mr. Crum prepare plat
OF the same. He stated there would be
no wholesale OPT ming OF lots, but that the
intention of Mr.. Zimmerman was to ex-
tend Rockwell Terrace two blocks west,
and to the western city limits. By his
arrangement there would, be 90 lots
thrown open. Senator Rohrback ex.
planned that if the city is to build, it must
go to the west and northwest. and said
the proposed development was along the
same lines as Rockwell Terrace. and the
lots would be sold with the same restric-
tons. 1t is Mr.. Zimmerman's purpose
to grade, put down curb and gutter and
probably pavements.
President Apple, of the Woman's Col
lege, was present He stated he had
been shown the plat, and from the stand
point of the Womans College. he thought
there would be no objection to it. He
explained that the opening of the street
from Rockwell Terrace north, as propos-
ed he thought most desirable, and if this
should be done, he thought the college
would join in opening the street on
through its property. He said the open
ing of this street would also throw new
element INTO the proposed buildings for
the college, as with such street. several
of those interested in the college, felt that
it would be more desirable to face the
college buildings east and upon this pro-
posed street. rather than south as was
first expected.
Alderman Rice stated that the PROPOSE
ton looked to him like good one, and
an improvement upon the plan adopted
by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen
several years ago. He said he thought
the other plan should be withdrawn, but
that before voting upon the matter he
wished to make an investigation for con-
tracts or agreements the city made at that
time. He asked that action be deferred
until the next meeting, and to this the
Board agreed.

west of the present limits of Rockwell
Terrace, he explained that 6o-foot street
had been provided running north and
south. This street if continued north
would pass on the bed of the alley, just to
the west of Mr.. NJ L. Etchison's house
on West Fourth street, and on through
the Woman's College property, and
through to the Seventh street pike. On
the south the street would come in line
with Derr's alley. After discussing other
matters the Board aci lurned
