One Project Favored.

On Connecticut avenue, where bust
ness properties are in the ma jority,
the sentiment, the poll showed, IS
strongly in favor Of the continuation
OF the widening, which was halted alb
ruptly Monday after workmen had
felled about one-half of the trees and
left the remainder to form haphaz-
ard and unesthetic appearance. Sue
cinctly the vote" on Connecticut
avenue was at ratio of about three
to one in favor of the widening. On
Thirteenth street, however, where
residence properties predominant. and
which has not yet been approached
by the tree choppers, the sentiment is
just the reverse. Here the vote" was
two to one in opposition to the widen
ing. These people do not want the
street widening simply because It
means the dstruction of the shade
trees. a cutting away of their lawns
and tho removal of other evidences
of nature. together with the destruc-
ton of the front steps of their homes.
A concrete sidewalk in close proximity
to the fronts of their houses will sup
plant them. Moreover. these residents,
in some instances, will lose their coal
bins. which are located under the side
walk.

City Heads Withhold Decision
Because of Sentiment on
Widening.
OLD RESIDENTS OPPOSE
DESTRUCTION OF TREES
Commercial Interests, However,
See Increase in Business on 18th
Street and Connecticut Ave.

Temporary suspension of the 1927
street widening program has provoked
both commendation and criticism and
divided public opinion so markedly
that the District Commissioners today y
were reluctant to indicate whether
they proposed to proceed with the
widening projects or wait for further
instructions from Congress.
Communications which have come
to the Commissioners and a canvass of
property owners and tenants on two
of the major thoroughfares designated
for widening -- Connecticut avenue
from Dupont Circle to Florida avenue
and Thirteenth street from | street to
Massachusetts avenue-indicate most
clearly that commercial interests want
the work to proceed without further
DELAY, but that u majority of those
who make their homes on these streets
are bitter in their opposition to the
widening, which means sacrifice of
the shade trees and in some cases por-
tions of their lawns.
Arguments on Both Sides.
Sentinmentality, which is the
dominating factor in the opposition
registered by the home owners, does
not play such an important part in
the demands of the business inter-
ests for continuation of the street
widening program. Wider streets
will bring more traffic, more people
and, consequently, more business
this is the epitome of the argument
of the commercial interests. Aside
from the destruction of the trees,
which have shaded their houses from
the burning rays of the Summer sun,
the retaliation of the home owners
Is that the added traffic will bring
more noise, more accidents, perhaps,
and at the same time destroy the
last vestige of residential atmosphere
about their property.
The opinion of the property owners
and tenants on Connecticut avenue
and Thirteenth street was sought
chiefly because they are the ones
most vitally affected by the contem-
plated changes i'll street widths
they are faced not only with the
loss of the shade trees, but must
contribute to the cost of the work.
