VIEWS ARE ASKED
ON HIGHWAY WORK
Letters Seek Suggestions on
List for Inclusion in
1891 Budget.

Anxious to obtain the views Of the
citizens of Washington as to the high
way work they consider most important
for the next fiscal year, the Highway
Department today dispatched circular
letters to all citizens associations, and
to trade and other organizations, ask
ing for lists of neighborhood and CITY,
wide projects, respectively, that the or
CARNATIONS believed should be included
in the 1881 budget.
The Highway Department first sent
out such letters two years ago, and. ac-
cording to Capt. Herbert c. Whitehurst,
the Districts chief engineer, the re-
sponses were extremely useful in max
ing up the Districts ensuing two bud
gets. Most of the work called for two
years ago has now been accomplished,
Capt. WhitehurSt said, and he is anx-
ious for the citizens who will pay for
the work to express their preference as
to the order in which it should be un-
dertaken and the extent of the work
to be done.
When the letters were sent out two
years ago they only went to neighbour
hood citizens associations and inquired
only about neighborhood work wanted.
This year, however, letters have been
sent to trade organizations of city-wide
membership asking for the bodies views
on city-wide projects.
The citizens associations canvassed
are told that they should submit rec
concentrations for street work only in
cases where the street is at least rs
per cent built up, and advised against
suggesting improvement to macadam
streets, which will all soon be equipped
with curb and gutter in line with poll
icy already adopted by the department.
Both classes of organizations are asked
to submit their recommendations before
May is.

FIRE APPARATUS
ADDITIONS SLATED
Model Rescue Squad Wagon
and Two Other Items
Planned.

A model rescue squad wagon and two
other important additions viii be made
to the apparatus of the District Fire
Department, it was announced today by
Fire Chief George S. Watson.
750-gallon triple-combination pump
ing engine and the most modern aerial
hook and ladder available are included
in the new equipment, to cost $37, IT'S
Contract for the apparatus has been
awarded the American La France &
Foamite Industries, Inc.
The new rescue squad wagon was de-
signed by o. E. Fern, superintendent
of machinery of the Fire Department,
and Battalion Chief Thomas O'Connor,
the rescue squad drill master. after an
exhaustive study of similar apparatus
in use in other cities. According to
the fire chief, it will be the last word
in rescue squad wagons and probably
will serve as model for other fire de-
partmentS.
Old Wagon in Reserve.
Plans have been made to put the new
wagon into service at No. 2 Engine
Company, on Twelfth street between G
and H streets, to replace the present
makeshift apparatus of the rescue
squad. The old wagon will be held in
reserve for emergency use.
Special compartments have been de-
signed in the new wagon for the variety
of equipment carried by the rescue
squad. This includes gas masks,
StretcherS, acetylene torches and in
halators. Provision also has been made
for two high-powered searchlights, at
tached to 110-yolt generator con-
nected with the motor of the wagon. In
addition there will be reel of wire
which will enable the firemen to carry
the searchlights into building. =
Undecided Location.
Fire Chief Watson has not yet def
nitely decided where to assign the two
other new pieces of apparatus. The
aerial hook and ladder probably will be
located in one of the three outlying
sections, such as Congress Heights,
Brightwood or Tenleytown. These three
communities are growing rapidly, he
pointed out, and should have metropoli-
tan fire apparatus. At present, he said
the hook and ladder equipment in these
three sections is known as the village
type.
The new rescue squad wagon will cost
the District $11,400. The price to be
paid for the other two pieces Of ap-
paratus is $26,375.

OFFICIALS IN QUANDARY
OVER COMFORT STATION
Wisconsin Avenue and M Street
Project Plans Protested by
Property Owners.

District officials are in a Quandray
over an appropriation of $4,000 for
construction of a public comfort sta
ton in the vicinity of Wisconsin avenue
, and M street carried in the current
years appropriation act.
Recently Municipal Architect Albert
L. Harris announced plans for putting
the station underground below Wiscon-
sin avenue few feet south of NJ street
His plans included entrances, similar to
the New York subway entrances set in
the sidewalk of Wisconsin avenue. Pub
lication of these plans was followed by
protest from property owners near
whose stores the entrances would be
placed, and Mr.. Harris is reluctant to
spend the money for working drawings
for the construction If there is likeli-
hood that a citizen will enjoin the work
by going to court.
Mr.. Harris says that the citizens who
protested suggested locating the COM
fort station in house on Wisconsin
avenue, which could be remodeled for
the purpose, but Assistant Engineer
Commissioner LaySon E. Atkins holds
that the District cannot purchase prop
erty for the purpose unless the appro-
priation act specifically provides for the
land purchase. There is no such pro-
vision in the act.
Maj. Atkins has suggested that the
station be placed on ground already
owned by the District where Thirty
second street intersects with the c. &
o. Canal, about one block away from
the intersection named in the act.
Whether this would be considered I'm
the vicinity" within the law. and
whether it would satisfy the George
town Business Mems Association, which
has been seeking construction Of the
comfort station, is not known.

nance was filed in the District Supreme
Court today by Mrs. Marie Eleanor
Mcguire Of the Hotel Roosevelt against
her husband, Vincent De Paul Mcguire,
employed in the Office of the supervis-
ing architect of the Treasury.
She asks the court to order her hus-
band to pay her 500 month out of

she received at the hands OF her hus-
band and also as a result of traffic
misl1ap while she was riding with him.
she tells the court her ability to sup
port herself has been impaired.

ruary dismissed bill for support and
maintenance brought by the wife in

continue monthly payments of $50,
although he has agreed to pay an
arrearage.
