REGULATING NEW SUBDIVISI The orders made by the Commissioners pur- suant to the authority of the subdivision law enacted last August were published in Tae Star December 10, and will become operative as lawnext Thursday. These orders are framed with a view to securing, so far as practicable, exact alignment with’ streets and avenues within the city limits, and to maintain the width that the streets have in the city. Inthe regions directly along Rock creek and elsewhere where the topography is such as to render the adoption of the rectangular system of streets impracticable, special subdivisions will be per- mitted, the streets of which must, however, conform as far as practicable and’ join on to the rectangular streets and diagonel avenues of the general plan of the city extended into the county. ‘The Commissioners require that streets not in alignment with the streets of Washington shall be not less than ninety feet in width, and distant from each other not less than 300 nor more than 600 feet. No minor street in a square shall be less than 60, feet in width. The orders require that the existing avenues of the city of Washington shall be extended, as nearly as practicable, in continuation of their direction within the city, and of equal width, and all subdivisions must rovide therefor. Existing avenues may be leflected beyond the city limits wherever the Commissioners deem advisable. Beside exi ing avenues and their extensions, other ave- nues will be provided for in all subdivisions wherever the Commissioners may deem it necessary to make the subdivision conform to the general plan of the city. No new avenue will be Jess than 120 feet in width. If deemed necessary or desirable, a greater width, up to 160 feet, may be required by the Commis- sioners. Circles and public spaces will be re- uired to be laid out and dedicated to the pub- le wherever the Commissioners may deem the same necessary to make a subdivision conform to the general plan of the city of Washington. ‘The Commissioners have made some regula- tious, too, on the subject of alleys, ‘They di- rect that no public all ey within the city limits shall be less than ten fect in’ width, and re- serve the right to require that public’ alleys of proper width be provided in the square of all subdivisions without the city limits, No sub- division of land into lots fronting on alleys only will be approved. NAMING NEW STREETS. In connection with the execution of this law, the Commissioners have prepared a scheme of nomenclature for the new streets and avenues: La-| The broad diagonal ee will be desig- nated as avenues and will be named after the states of the union. Streets running north and south will be numbered each way from the meridian of the capitol. If the streets are not direct continuations of the city streets their names will correspond with the city streets most nearly due north or south of them, Streets ranning cast and west will be named from the letters of the alphabet until these let- ters are exhausted. Beyond this they will be named after the principal cities of America, the names of which commence with the letters of the alphabet in their proper order of ro- tation, as Albany street, Baltimore street, Chicago street, Detroit street, kc &c. When the alphabet is thns exhausted 1! succeeding streets will be named for the prin- cipal rivers aud lakes of America the names of which commence with the letters of the alpha- bet in proper rotation, as Albemarle street, Brazos street, Champlain street. Des Moines street, &c, Streets not in exactalignment with those to the east or west of them will take the names of those streets most nearly in the line of their direct continuation, Small which do not form an essential part of the system of streets will be designated “and will receive such names as after dii od Am prominent in the service of ane In accordance with this plan, Capt. ns ga list of names, st something like the eivil-service ay ent in sel fo that np one focality or state aball Be ionately h ‘When he reach and Z he had to teke both names Xenia furnish names for selection. a Legislation in Economics. ‘To the Raitor of Tux Evaxrme Bran: streets | 2a so and Zgnesville—as other states did not | MR. SOUSA’s NEW COMIC OPERA. “The Wolf? is Purchased by Francis Wilson, of the Casino Company. Mr. John Philip Sousa, leader of the Marine band, on Thursday read to Francis Wilson, the comedian of the “Erminie” company, a new comic opera, which he recently completed. Mr. Wilson was so pleased with the work that he at once decided to buy it, and the contract was signed yesterday, Under this contract Mr. Wilson agrees to put the opera on the stage in New York within one year. Mr. Sousa naturally feels elated at the strong impression his opera made on so competent a judge as Mr. Wilson should be, and at the prompt manner in which the latter closed the negotiations for the transfer of the work. Speaking to Stax reporter yesterday, Mr. Wilson said he was highly pleased with his new acquisition, ‘he opera is called “The Wolf,” and both book and score are the work of Prof. Sousa. The scene is laid in Spain, and the time of the action is the present. The score is full of melodies, which the composer and his friends confidently believe will at once catch the lic ear and enjoy a wide popularity. ‘The ing comed: is thought to Wilson's comedy =a He Doesn’t Belong.
