One of the disagreeable things the
people of this vicinity had to put up

to the fact that the elevation at Ninth

section a number of years ago our es-
teenned friend, James Croggon, who
wrote so entertainingly for The Star,
said:
THAT section of Washington south OF
Pennsylvania avenue between Ninth and
Tenth streets, which 100 years ago
bordered Tiber Creek. now the scene of
business activity, was for many years
difficult to describe Indeed, most of
these squares were for third of GEN.
fury partly covered by water at times,
and were made up so much of marsh
land that 1t was difficult to delineate
what was suitable for settlement. This
swamp land bordering the Tiber did not
even approximate firm land till the
center of c street was reached.
1T was about this point that what
became known as Sluice Run united
and were merged with those of the
Tiber. When the waters of the latter
stream flowed into the canal, which was
opened before 1920. the adjacent ground
was drained and utilized. That it was
not a very inviting section for resi-
dental purposes is apparent. for few
and far between were the eligible places
for houses. These we're of the lines of
the Avenue and on Tenth street north
of c street Indeed, with the run,
which until 1908 was crossed by fording.
but was later spanned by a simple
wooden bridge. and with little improved
roadway. there was not much TO invite
settlement and improvement until the
establishment of the Center. or Marsh,
market In 1902. Before this was au-
thorized and when there was uncer-
tainty of the completion of the canal,
which was to supply drainage. a few
optimistic people had made homes for
themselves. And as the ground south
was reclaimed some dwellings and BUSH
ness places appeared When in 1916 the
canal was opened to navigation much
wood and produce was brought here in
boats. Schooners. sloops and longboats
were used in the trade, and much OF the
adjacent ground was given to wood
yards"

Is not the absence of racial factor
but that the tropical environment In

their normal metabolism. Apparently
the suspected depressing influence of

That the popular belief that the

be unfounded Is also suggested by the
