SUBDIVISION STREETS
ARE PRIVATELY OWNED
Commissioners Ask Congress
TO Remove Bar to Public
improvements.

Contemplating the installation of water
and sewer mains and other improvements
In the subdivision of Barry Farm, 'iocated
between Anacostia and the grounds of the
Government Hospital for the Insane, the
District Commissioners today transmitted
TO Congress a bill providing for the con-
domination of streets within and adjacent
to the subdivision.
The value of the land and improvements
proposed to be condemned, according to a
report accompanying the bill, is about
s34. 600. 1t is provided that the cost shall
be paid entirely from District revenues
and assessed upon abutting and adjacent
property benefited.
Barry Farm, which contains about 400
acres, was subdivided in 1867 by order of
Gen. o. o. Howard, commissioner of the
bureau of freedmen refugees and aban-
doned lands. 1t was laid out in one-acre
lots to be sold to freedmen who came
north after the civil war:
Streets Are Private Property.
According to the subdivision the lots
extend to the centers of the highways.
The highways are included in the area
of the lots and taxes are paid on these
private property no public funds can be
expended thereon, which has resulted in
the subdivision being without sewerage
and wa.er facilities.
The area to be taken foB the highways
will be about thirty-eight acres, twenty
six of which are now used as roads. The
average width of the roads at present is
about thirty-three feet. The bill pro-,
vides that they shall be opened with
minimum width of forty feet. In most
cases, however, according to the Com
missioners' report, 1t is intended 10 pro-
vide for a width of fifty feet, which Will
conform to certain streets which have
been dedicated in the subdivision.
Anxious for Improvements.
Residents in the subdivision have re-
Quested that improvements be made In
the highways, the report states. The
bill provides that the Commissioners are
authorized. when they deem it desir-
able in the interest OF economy. to per-
NIT existing buildings projecting in the
proposed highways to remain until such
time as the owners of the buildings de-
sire to reconstruct or substantially alter
them.
referring to a report made by the
health officer of the District, in 1910, to
the effect that contaminated water had
heen found in the subdivision and that
the Districts rate Of mortality is high
in sections where there are no public
sewers and adequate water facilities, the
Commissioners state that, from a health
standpoint. the improvements proposed
are important.
