ANACoSTIA. ID. c.. NOV. q.
The principal construction work in
Progress in the southeastern suburban
district is that at the Birney School
and at the Congress Heights School.
The sum of $4,000 is being expended in
the reconstruction of these two build
irgs. There is a siX-room addition be-
ing built at the former one. costing
soi,0oo. and a four-room addition will
be erected at Congress Heights. where
SSS.0Qe is the amount TO be spent.
There are indications that the Con-
Rress Heights School, which was clese1
10 the classes this year by reason OF
the work of reconstruction, will be
ready for occupancy again before Christ
rnas. 1t is believed by citizens OF the
suburb that the school can be utilized
cnce more within ten days.
Great changes have been made in the
appearance OF the Congress Heights
School. The clock tower, long serving
the purpose of a town-clock steeple.
fas disappeared. The brick building has
been pebble-dashed. A new heating
Plant has been installed. The old build
ing, entirely remodeled, is about ready
y for service again. Work is advancing
rapidly on the new part, which is being
built to face Nichols avenue. Citizens
will soon request the board of educa-
tion to withdraw the Congress Heights
pupils from the Anacostia and other
schools and reopen the Congress
Heights grades.
with the opening of a number of new
streets in view in Anacosta, the belief
in expressed that certain sections Of
are to be extended will profit materially
by more rapid development and the
erection of houses on lots that are now
vacant. The cutting through of Eigh-
teenth street between Minnesota ave-
nue. and Good Hope road opens UP a
territory that has many possibilities
for home builders. The same conditions
apply in the extension of Mt. View
place between Talburtt street and Nor
ris road. Petitions for the opening of
other streets are going about.
Edward ]. Newcomb, postmaster at
Congress Heights. yesterday purchased
the parcel OF ground adjoining his pres
ent business establishment on the
south. The property measures % feet
front by 100 feet in depth. Mr., New
comb will improve the ground at an
early date, according to present plans.
Mr.. Newcomb has had plans prepared
for two houses for II. S. Newcomb, his
brother, now in Panama. They are to
be frame houses, each containing SIX
rooms, pebble dashed and having mod
ern conveniences. They will be erected
in Nichols avenue near w A. Clark
nlace.
A pretty suburban home is that being
erected for wilbur Jarvis of the Wash
ington Yacht Club, the building of
which is being done by S. E Snyder.
The house, which is being reared at
81? Park place, will have six rooms,
bath and slate roof: Hot air will be
installed for heating the building.
