18TH ST. WILL HAVE
WIDER SIDEWALKS
Roadway to Be 70 Feet, Not
80, as Law Provides, on
Request of Merchants.

The District Commissioners have
decided to make the roadway Of
Thirteenth street between + and ]
streets 10 feet instead of so feet wide
to leave more adequate sidewalks.
They arc taking this course at the
request of the business men along
that thoroughfare, who realized that
an so-foot roadway would leave the
sidewalks too narrow. Before chang
ing the plan for the improvement Of
the street the city heads obtained
from the abutting property owners
a guarantee that they will pay the
cost of making the street 50 feet
wide later, in the event Congress
should fail to approve the action of
the Commissioners in reducing it
TO 20.
The records reveal that officials of
the highway division and the Com
rissioners never believed Thirteenth
street should be as wide as 50 feet.
inserted in House Bill.
The item for the widening of that
traffic artery between F. and l streets
was not in the eStinla tcS as transmit
ted to Congress b. the Commissioners
and the Budget Bureau last year. 1t
was inserted in the District bill as a
House amendment, which called for a
width of so feet. This would have
left only lo-foot sidewalk on each
side.
The city heads were in favor of
leaving the item in the bill, but they
told the Senate subcommittee on ap-
preparations that the wording should
be changed to make the roadway 20
feet, which would leave q 20-foot
sidewalk on each side.
TestifyinS before the Senate sub
committee, Maj. Bell said:
Street 80 Feet Wider.
"T think that it would be an error
to create a roadway so feet wide on
account of the damage that it would
do to the public parking.
The Senate agre ed with the Com
miSSionerS and reduced the width TO
20 feet. When the measure went to
conference. however. the House lam
-uase. calling for an S0-foot roadway
was rest ored.
Before work was started last week
Thirteenth street between + and |
streets was only 40 feet wide. while
the sidewalks were 35 feet on each
side. Officials of the engineer de-
partment felt that was too narrow
for a main artery. but they believe 70
feet is ample width being more in
keeping with other downtown streets.

This famous salts is made from the
