ANACOSTIA.

A number of petitions are to be dis
tributed throughout Anacostia, to be
signed by every citizen, and addressed to
the Capital Traction Company, asking
that company to extend it's lines to the
suburb. The Anacostia association de-
sires the extension to be made over the
Anacostia bridge, while the Minnesota
Avenue Improvement Association has
suggested that it be extended over the
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge and enter
the suburb by way of Minnesota avenue
Both projects have received much con-
sideration. but it is probable the former
will be adopted, as the expenditure would
not be half so great 1t has been sug-
gested that the committees of the two as
sociations work jointly to obtain the eX-
tension and it is likely this will be done
Rev Samuel w. Gratflin. pastor of the
Anacostia Methodist Episcopal Church, is

posed to place a brick wall at one end of
the park and to place benches around the
inside of this wall. Through the center
path will be placed, and on either side
at intervals benches will be placed and

shade will be provided.
1t is the plan of the school officials to
open the new Randle Highlands School
building tomorrow. Since the term he
gan last month the conditions at the Orr
School in Twining City have been crowd

ers and children to secure the additional
space
