consider the condemnation boards recon-
mendation in connection with the prep
aration of the next annual estimate.
number Of important recommends
the board, the members Of which are
Maj. Markham, recently assistant en-
gineer commissioner. who has been trans
ferred by the War Department to new
post; DR.. William C.. Woodward, health
officer of the District, and Morris Hacker.
building inspector of the District.
One Of the most important Of these
recommendations is that the District
heads consider the advisability of the
local government systematically con-
demning the interior of squares largely
occupied by alley dwellings for the pur-
pose Of converting them into Fairgrounds.
1t is urged that all parks SO established
be provided with public bathing pools.
Favors Interior Park.
Specific recommendations are that Goat
alley. between 9th. 7th, L and NJ streets
northwest. be converted into an interior
park, with an appropriate opening on l.
street, and that Navy place. between
9Th, 7th, and G streets southeast, be
converted into a minor street. running
north and south, in order to eliminate
the present confined alley. The estimated
cost of the former improvement Is
$50 900.
Referring to the Goat alley improve
ment project, the report says:
This is one of the most largely inhab-
tied alleys in the city, and fOrty-two
brick and frame structures therein pro-
vide living quarters for IL white and 2i3
colOred inhabitants, making total of
254 residents. The nineteen frame and
twenty-three brick houses are of such a
character structurally as not to be SUBJ
ject to condemnation by the board. but
are maintained by the owners on notices
served from time to time to correct such
minor defects as may be brought to the
attention Of the board.
Average Rental of Houses.
'AThe average rental Of the forty-two
houses is So month. The government
already owns approximately 1925 square
feet in alleys in this block. and for the
conversion of this alley into an interior
park 1t would be necessary to acquire
about 81, ,557 square feet additional. with
the forty-two brick and frame structures
located thereon"
Willow Tree alley into an interior park.
for which Congress last year apprOpri-
ated 5000. the board recommends that
an appropriation be secured for provid-
ing the park with an opening, preferably
on the B street or Maryland avenue side
southwest. The estimated cost Of this
improvement is $4,000.
1t is stated In the report, which was
submitted to the Commissioners by Roy
c. Haynes. secretary Of the board, that
795 tenants in streets and alleys were re-
quired to secure other quarters through
action on the part Of the board during the
fiscal year ended June so. 1912 The total
assessed valuation Of property demolished
in streets and alleys during the year was
$3l 400.
