Residents Away.

Declaring that the condition of
Virginia avenue southwest. from
Seventh to Twelfth streets Is an
obstacle to beautifying that section

street southwest. insisted yester-
day that she could see no reason
why the paving or resurfacing of
the avenue has been delayed so
long.
Il believe" DR.. Huddleson said.
that those cobb1estones were laid
In the late sixties. and that alone
is an argument in favor Of i'm
proving the avenue.
Virginia avenue Is beautiful
with its trees overhangingA and its
neat homes. painted and well-kept.
but the unsightly cobblestones are
enough to make residents give up
and let their homes become un-
slightly.
The noises along the avenue.
caused by the wagons passing over
the cobblestones. in the early hours
Of the morning. have caused quite
a few residents to move to auieter
streets. I've been told. and be-
lieve the people in this section of
Southwest will rise in Indignation
some, day and then we will get
Virginia avenue paved or resur-
faced.
with beautiful parks and gov
eminent buildings near Virginia

would be done to have the avenue
put In presentable condition. vir-
gtnia avenue Is also the outlet for
much Of the government trafic."
