duced by Senator Pomerene Of Ohio for
the condemnation of Snow Court AND
Goat Alley. relative to the elimination .:
washington's noisome, hidden alleys, yes
terday were sent to Congress by the
District Commissioners.
In place Of the policy Of converting
slum districts into interior parks, the
District heads suggest that a more prac-
teal plan is to convert the alleys into
minor streets. In order to make the i'm.
provement of squares inhabited by slurn
populations perfect. they favor legisla-
ton giving them power to condemn not
only the land necessary for the minor
street improvement, but also land abut-
ting on the proposed street within tn,
square. upon which houses meeting GER
tain prescribed sanitary conditions car,
be constructed for the accommodation OF
those who through poor wages and the
necessity of being near their work are
forced to live in alleys.
The Commissioners feel that the con.
version of hidden alleys into interior
parks will not solve the problem. as II
leaves the more important part Of the
difficulty. the housing Of the great alley
population, remaining. Their plan Is to
transform the alleys into minor streets,
to condemn adjacent land and insanitary
buildings, and to dispose of this land at
auction for the construction of sanitary
dwellings,, providing in the sales tina.
houses erected on the lots should meet
a certain standard.
Another important provision in the sub
stitute bills Is that the jury shall deter
mine what proportion of the cost of con-
domination 1t will assess in benefits.

CLEAN CHANNEL NEXT YEAR.
Dredging Above Highway Bridge
to Start Then.

Dredging will not be begun above the
Highway bridge on the Virginia channel
until next year. according to report.
The material dredged from this section
will be pumped upon a large area OF
low-lying land belonging to the Depart
ment of Agriculture farm on the Vir-
ginia side of the river, near Arlington.
1t is proposed to raise the level Of this
swamp land, so that it can be cult
waited by the government.
Although the Virginia channel to
Georgetown was deepened to twenty-five
feet about five years ago. it is again
badly in need of dredging, as in many
places the channel has filled to the ex-
tent of five feet. In the present condi-
ton it is difficult to bring coal-laden
barges out of Georgetown. as when rid
ing the best tide they have to be drawn
through foot or eighteen inches Of soft
mud in the bed Of the river.
