PROPERTY OWNERS LOSE.
Commissioners Order Alley Opened
on Surveyors Recommendation.

Over the protests of dozen property
owners. the Commissioners today, on
recommendation of District Surveyor
Hazen. ordered the opening of an alley
in square No. 2.S43. bounded by 18th.
14th and Kenyon streets and Park road
northwest.
George W. Sensner, chief engineer
United States Navy, retired, wrote to
the Commissioners requesting that they
act adversely on the proposed con-
demnation proceedings for opening the
alley. This was followed by petition
of property owners in the vicinity. which
also requested adverse action. 1t was
claimed that the alley would cause
great damage to the property holders,
all of whom have outlets from their
premises. that 1t would necessarily
have to be cut through portion of
the engine house on Park road. and
that it would -injure the appearance
of the Mount Pleasant playground, re-
Gently established In the block.
In his report to the Commissioners,
Surveyor Hazen states that the pro-
posed alley will take no part of the
engine house, and that it will not eX-
tend over d portion of the playground
or affect its appearance. The alley is
needed, according to the surveyor. for
the reason that it will furnish an out
let for an interior alley. which the
District at present cannot reach. in the
event it should become a nuisance. and
which also is provided with no drain
age facilities.

Benefit to Pupils.

THE physical benefit is the one that APP
peals to every one 1t is the one we rec
ognize at glance. Every one sees the
difference between slouchy, shiftless,
stumbling characterless being, consider
ately called a man. and one who, knowing
how, carries himself as if he were proud
OF his ability to show his power. who as
pires to he all that man can be In ex-
preston of his physical being. If cadet
gets nothing more from his military
training than this, he has gotten the
benefit that cannot be valued in your
everyday currency.
Another advantage. but one which is
not SO apparent Is the mental training
afforded 10y proper military training. 1t
probably occurs to very few persons that
military training is just as scientific in its
principles and application as any effective
work along certa n lines. through the use
of the best available means, just as the
study or application of any other subject
In the school curriculum will do
Another advantage which he pointed
out Is the discipline developed.
