Land Valued at $4,000.

The area of land necessary to be ac-
quired is $1,000 square feet, and the
estimated value, 100000. The bill re-
quireS that the total cost of the ac-
uuisition of the land, including the eN-
penses of condemnation, be assessed
as benefits.
The object of the measure unfaVorably
reported on by the District heads is to
eliminate from the highway plan 18th
street from II street north to Trinidad
avenue. This street the commissioners
point out, is now ii public highway from
the Eastern branch to I'll street in The
original city limits, and from Rhode
Island avenue northward through Brook
land Under the highway plan a connec-
ton of these two portions is provided for.
Important as Highway.
Under that plan this street Is the only
street proposed that crosses the railroad
between 18th and 24th streets and was
designed to be eventually the principal
outlet from the northeast section of the
District to the city. The Commissioners
believe that the proposed street is too i'm
portant as a highway to be eliminated
from the highway plan.
