.HAzEN ANNOUNCES
FUTURE PROPOSALS
TO WIDEN STREETS
Hopes to Change Budget
Limit Now Put on Funds
for Work.
CONDEMNATION COSTS
PLACED AT $530,OO0
Thirteenth, Between Park and
Spring Roads, One Of Projects
Being Considered.

Efforts will be made in the near fu-
ture to obtain congressional authority
for three major street widening projects
to rave the way for their actual develop
ments at some later date, under plans
announced by Commissioner Melvin C.
HaZen
AS the proposal stood this morning,
it was expected the Budget Bureau
would be asked to approve change in
the wording of the proposed 1885 Dis
trict budget which places a limit of
$50,000 on appropriations for street
widening work. In former years there
was no definite limit on this authority.
although for the current year Congress
set limit at S25,000.
The best available estimates today as
to the expected cost of the condemna-
ton Of needed land totaled S530,000.
A considerable portion Of this sum, IT
was estimated. would be returned to
the District Treasury in the form of
benefit assessments.
Projects Outlined.
The projects as outlined late yester-
day by Commissioner Hazen, would be:
The widening of Thirteenth street
between Park and Spring roaos, to
eliminate the bottle neck" in that
thoroughfare: the widening Of FoXhaii
road, between Conduit and Reservoir
roads. in keeping with plans drawn a
year or two ago, and extension of Pros
pect avenue IN Georgetown to tie in
with proposed extension Of Pennsylvania
avenue from NJ street to Wisconsin
avenue to provide a high-level thor
oughfare through Georgetown to relieve
M street congestion.
Edward A. Dent. District surveyor,
today was instructed by Commissioner
Hazen to prepare estimates of the cost
of the condemnation of the land.
Under the proposed plans, Thirteenth
street would be widened from the pres
ent 30 feet to 40 feet. In recent years
other sections of the traffic artery were
widened and later Congress was asked
to give specific authority for the upper
Thirteen street plan. but this failed
of action. Some property owners pro-
tested, since it would remove their front
yards, and in the case Of five houses.
steps and front porches would have to
be remodeled.
Estimates Condemnation Costs.
Dent estimated roughly this morn
ing the condemnation of the land in
this case would run to about SIS, ,0C0.
Foxhall road would be widened to 80
feet, over all, and it is estimated this
will have a condemnation cost of $780,
000 Condemnation proceedings were
started in this case about a year ago,
but after tie case reached court the
matter was dropped by the former
Board of Commissioners as an economy
move
The Georgetown plan involves extern
sion Of Pennsylvania avenue from Wis
consin avenue to Thirtieth and Olive
streets and the opening of Prospect
avenue between Thirtieth street and
Wisconsin avenue and the extension
of Prospect avenue from its present
terminus at Thirty seventh street west
to connect with Conduit and Foxhall
roads. The cost of these projects was
estimated roughly at S225,0

DRUG STORE SAFE:
LOOTED BY YEGGS
Men Obtain $3.50 Cash and
$50 Worth of Narcotics
at 5000 M Street.

After clanibering over roof tops to a
third-stcTy window and then drilling
their way through three locked doors
early today, safe robbers ransacked the
prescription laboratory Of Peoples
drug store at 5000 M street and escaped
with approximately $3.50 in cash and
narcotics valued at about $50.
Following the same devious route
by which they had come, the thieves
paused in a vacant apartment on the
third floor long enough to divided their
loot, calmly smoking cigarettes as they
did so.
On the floor of front room of the
apartment detectives found five cigaret
butts scattered among the envelopes in
which the money had been. A num-
Discovered BY Employe.
The robbery was discovered at 8 am,
when Clyde E. Allnut, assistant man
ager Of the store, reported for work.
In the laboratory, Allnut, who lives at
ZIG East Thornapple street. Chevy
Chase, Md, found the safe lying on
its back, with the combination drilled
off. He telephoned police.
Detective Sergts. Elmer Lewis and
Charles Mansfield, after a thorough in
spection of the three-story building, re-
traced the steps of the robbers in the
following manner:
The thieves climbed to the roof of a
one-story building in the rear, clam
bered to the roof of an adjoining two
story structure, then made their way to
rear window. The window evidently
had been left unlocked as there were
no Jimmy" marks on it.
Try to Cut Through Floor.
Going to the second floor, the rob-
bers attempted to drill through the
floor directly above the small, lnclosed
kitchen of the drug stores soda foun-
tain. Although the flooring was rein
forced by layer of concrete, the
thieves bored five holes through the
double boards before they gave up.
Then they descended to the second
floor and drilled a hole in the door of
a club room adjoining the storage room
of the pharmacy. Two more doors stood
between them and their goal, but they
hacked away with their drill until they
had made openings large enough to
permit them to reach inside and turn
back the locks.
Drill Off Combination.
They dragged the small safe into the
center of the laboratory, turned it over
and drilled off the combination. They
also broke the lock on the narcotics
cabinet and helped themselves to an as
sortment of drugs, including cocaine,
morphine sulphate and codeine. They
passed up several bottles of opium,
however, and made no attempt to get
at the liquor stock, kept in a cabinet
in the cellar.
After making an unsuccessful at
tempt to drill through the front door
of the apartment building, the thieves
went upstairs, divided their loot and
then scrambled back down over the
| roof tops. ...-.-----
They left their pinchbar and punch
however, and examination disclosed they
were of the same manufacture as SINH.
lar tools found at the scenes of severa
recent robberies.
The robbery, the detectives said, wa,
typical of the work of a burglar wei
known to them. A photograph of the
thief was tentatively identified by en-
ployes CT the store as that of a mar
who had made several purchases during
the last few weeks.
