COMMISSIONERS URGE
ALLEY ELIMINATION
District Officials Ask Senate Subcom-
mittee to Take Speedy Action
Against City Conditions.
MR.. WILSON IS INTERESTED

Hasty elimination of all Washington
alleys was urged by Health Officer
Woodward, the Commissioners and
others before a subcommittee Of the
Senate District Committee yesterday, on
the ground that they are breeding places
Of all forms of disease and crimes as
we'll.
The committee evidently was impressed
and, it is believed. win make adequate
recommendations to the Senate for relief.
The committee consists of Senator Smith,
of Maryland, and Senators Jones. Hollis,
Pomerene and Dillingham;.
Those who spoke against the alleys
besides the health officer, were Com
missioner Siddons. Rev. DIR. John Van
Schaick, jr.. pastor of the Universalist
Church: Phillip S. Henry. and Mrs. Ern-
est P. Bcknell.
Commissioner Siddons referred to the
fact that President and Mrs. Wilson
have taken a keen interest in the solu-
ton of the alley dwelling problem in
Washington.
Mr.. Siddons added that he did not
that the President was COM
mitted particularly to the bill introduced
in Congress at the recommendation of
the Commissioners.
Mr.. Siddons said that according to the
last police census the population living
in alleys and courts had been reduced
to something over ll,0oO. These persons
live in 26s alleys and courts he said
In some instances only three or four per-
sons were living in one of these alleys.
What remedy to present conditions do
you suggest" asked Senator Pomerene,
of sOhio.
IT offer our own bill, recommended by
the Commissioners" said Mr.. Siddons.
This bill authorizes the Commissioners
to get rid of every alley dwelling within
the next ten years, to close these build
ings as residences, though many of them
perhaps could be used for business pur-
poses. Also the bill authorizes the Com
to proceed to change these
alleys to minor streets not less than
forty feet wide. They may acquire the
necessary land for this purpose and
certain pieces of lard within the squares |
which may be left over after the streets |
have been taken care OF We may Sub
divide and sell or lease"
