THE SYSTEM
Of STREET EXTENSION
BrightWood Park Citizens Oh.
ject to District Method of
Assessing Benefits.

The present system of extending
streets in the District and assessing the
benefits was criticised last night at a
meeting of the Brightwood Park Cit
liens Association, in Van Horns Hall,
corner Georgia avenue and Longfellow
street. William NICK. Clayton, who dis
cussed the subject, said that the suburbs
of the National Capital are fifty years
behind the condition they should be in.
Not 10 per cent of the suburban
streets are fit for vehicular traffic. he
continued. "Out Of forty blocks in the
Park, about eight have been improved,
and there has not been more than two
streets in the past few years. 1t is un-
just to the property owner to extend
streets, make assessments and then not
improve the streets.
Declared to Be Unjust.
s'Why do the District Commissioners
continue year after year, to recommend
streets and place the assessments
against the abutting property owners,
when there is no intention of improving
them? 1t is unjust and unfair. The
only equitable way is not to make any
assessments until the streets are ready
.
discontinue making any further street
extensions from today on it would take
them twenty-five years to put the pres
ent streets in fit condition for the travel
ing public" .
George Francis Williams spoke of the
unjust features Of the present street ex-
tension laws on the statute books of the
District. He referred to the fact that I'M
der the present method the benefits, plus
the cost of the proceedings, are added in
a nf Ia
then assessed against the property own
ers. The present law, however, he said,
had been declared constitutional.
Instance Of RENTED Assessment.
There is no reason why Congress
should pass such bills he continued
1.-The Supreme Court admitted in one in
stance that injustice had been done, with
the result that Congress, after several
years of litigation, RENTED an assess
ment of 5000 to property owner on
Washington Heights, where they had
given considerable property for. the ex-
tension of streets, with the understanding
that no assessment was levied" He cited
several instances, one recently in Park
View, and another on Rock Creek Church
road.
At the conclusion Of the discussion q
resolution was adopted to the effect that
1.-The association regards as unjust in its
application in individual cases in the mat
ter of assessing back all Of the damages
in the extension of streets under the pres
emit system, and that the representative
be instructed to present the matter be-
fore the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tons for action.
Treasurer J. Mcintyre urged that eff
forts be made to change the schedule of
the two cars which were recently ordered
to run from Brightwood to the bureau of
engraving and printing, from the present
time Of arriving-7:43 and 7:4S-to 1880
and 7:45 in the mornings, thus allowing
sufficient time for employees to arrive at
their work.
John O'Keefe was elected member of
the association.

Day Of the Navy.

''Yet for every hamlet captured by the
navy an army officer was promoted to a
brigadier generalship, or higher. I am
not speaking against the army. They
have had little enough recognition, espe-
cially when considering the size of the
army. But this is navy day.
I'm the civil war the Confederacy was
cut in two on the Mississippi by the
navy. Sherman's march to the sea was
possible because the navy held the COM
mand Of the sea, and the blockade made
the fall of the Confederacy inevitable.
Without the blockade we might still be
divided, instead of q strong united
nation.
Much was written Of our successful
frigate actions in the war of 1912. How
many know Of Commodore Patterson's
action at New Orleans The country rang
with ptaise of jackson, and but few real
lied that it was turned from defeat into
victory because by dropping down near
the trenches the guns of Patterson's
command raked the flank OF the British
.vI.he surrender Of CORVALLIS at York
town was forced by the French fleet
under De Grasse. and the surrender of
Bourgoyne. another great event Of the
revolutionary war was orou ., a an py
Il
Champlain. Our success on the lake
forced Bourgoyne to surrender by cutting
Off his chances of securing supplies from
Canada.
Necessity, Not a Sentiment.
Convince yourselves that strong
navy is q necessity and not thing Of
sentiment. Convince your friends and
convince Congress.
Incidentally not only should you back
strongly the building program, but also the
other plans Of the Secretary Of the Navy.
Mr.. Meyer has devoted his time to gath
ering and weighing expert opinions on all
matters required to make an efficient feet,
and in no way can the league better
use its influence than In backing him up
in his efforts to build up the navy and
to reform its administration.
1--WE may congratulate ourselves on the
presence Of ladies as guests and as dele
gates. Not only because they add beauty
and JOY to. the occasion, but also be-

WOULD MEAN A
 NEW DEPOT HERE Local Employees of Cotton Belt Greatly Interested in
 l.. & N. Purchase. SAYS THE DEAL IS ON Chairman of the Texas Railroad COm-
 mission Claims to Have
 Information.
SAYS THE DEAL IS ON

Tie runners to the effect that the Louisville and Nashville railroad is negotiating for the purchase of the Gotten Belt and all subsidiary lines, which has been persis sent for sever- al days days and subject of much newspaper talk, has been received with interest by employees of the Cot ton Belt in this city.
 The joining of the two railroads, they say. would throw much traffic to the Cotton Belt that is now divert ed to other lines. Especially would the passenger traffic be increased to p9ints in tac east a~d north as the almaeatei lines cou d give much ouicler seTv.ce from Texas and Ark ansas rcints to tho le,eger eastern a,t..Cs oa :. | oui vile ard Nashville.
 The SC ,ars.ien fthc Iron Mount ai ' and Gotten Belt would also result in the withdrawal of the Cotton Belt from the Union Station and the erec- tion of another passenger depot in this city.
 An Austin, Texas dispatch yester- day had the following to say relative to the. rumored purchase of the Co., ton Belt lines by the L. and N.: oho of Texas Railroad Commission, today said he had advices from Cotton Belt railroad confirming the report that the Louisville and Nashville rail- road is completing arrangements to buy the Cotton Belt, and that when the directors of the former road meet in New York, August 29, they will close the deal and authorize a bond issue of from $40,000,00OO te | $6O, O,000,00 to carry it out. The Cotton Belt and Louisville and Nashville meet each other at Louisville and St. Louis, ard it is regarded as operat- ing independently from other Gould roads.
 The system is composed of the fol lowing branches, Stephensville ane North. and South Texas, Pine Bluff and Arkansas River, Para gould ant Southwes. ern, Eas ern Texas Rail road, St. Louis Southwestern anl St. Louis Southwestern Of Texas The systems mileage is 1909.
