Bids Asked for Razing
40 Homes on Site
OF New Seafon School

The Commissioners have invited
bids for the removal of 40 houses
on First street, H street, Seaton
Court and street NV, which
will be torn down to make room
for the new Seaton School and
playground.
All the houses in the block will
be torn down except two apart
nent houses, which the District
has not acquired because OF their
cost.
Twenty-four of the 40 houses
still are occupied by tenants, who
have been given notice that they
will have to vacate the premises
by September is. 1t is believed,
however, that when the eviction
cases are heard in Municipal
Court tomorrow, the judge may
give them an additional month
to remain in the houses.
The District notified all the
residents last April they would
have to vacate, and since that
time the city has collected no
rents from them. The Government
has had to pay the water rents
when the non-payment Of bills
threatened to have the water shut
off and the Health Department
said the houses could not be occu-
pied without water facilities.
Most of the families living in
the houses have children, officials
of the auditors Office said.
Another demolition project for
which the Commissioners have
asked bids is for 80 condemned
dwellings and miscellaneous Struc-
lures on the site of the proposed
Payne School and playground.
Fifteenth and D streets Sc. The
houses are 311 to 341 Fifteenth
street Sc. 1880 D street Sc. toI
1442, and seven garages in the
rear of 321 to 329 Fifteenth street
Sc. Only two of these houses are
occupied.
The old Havenner Bakery and
warehouse, 458Ha to 476 c street
NV, also will be torn down to
make room for a parking lot. The
Municipal Lodging House on the
same block and the old abandoned
church at John Marshall place
and C street NV. will remain,
because the church is used by the
District as a print shop and no
other location is available for the
lodging house.
