The Relative Importance of Water and Sewer Facilities. SOME IMPROVEMENTS Sales of property on Pennsylvania ave- nue are not of frequent occurrence. This is not because real estate holdings on that thoroughfare are not in demand, but the main reason appears to be that the bulk of it is held by those who do not seem to be disposed to part with it. For years this property was considered the most desirable in the business section of the city and the result was that it came largely into the hands of those who wanted permanent in- vestments. The original purchasers have to a considerably extent died, and the holdings have passed into the hands of their heirs. While Pennsylvania avenue can no longer be regarded as the principal business street of the city, business has by no means de- parted from it and it is thought by good judges that this change will never be made. The avenue is a great thoroughfare be- tween principal points in the city and this fact as well as the one that it is the parade ground of the capital insures the contin- uance of the business character of the street. Occasionally a piece of property on the avenue is offered for sale, as was the case a ‘few days ago, when some holdings form- ing a portion of the Farnham estate were ordered to be sold as the result of pro- | ceedings in equity. These were the adjoin- | ing pieces of property Nos. 1226 and 1228 Pennsylvania avenue, on the south side, be- tween 12th and 13th streets, and extending back to D street, with improvements front- ing on both streets. The frontage on the avenue is about thirty-one feet and the average depth is about one hundred and five feet, with a totai of 8,236 square feet. The property was knocked down to the highest bidder, Mrs. Caroline 8. Curtiss, py the auctioneer, Mr. Duncanson, for the sum of $19,050, which is at the rate of a little over $6 per square foot. This is about the usual price which property on that side of the avenue has brought in recent years, Government as a Land Buyer. When, however, the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company several years ago sought to buy the entire square where their power house is now located, they ‘were obliged to pay, on an average, for the entire square between $11 and $12 per foot. The government paid about the same figure for the square where the city post office is now being erected. While the prices paid in these cases were con- siderably higher than those which had been ebtained for small pieces at private or lic sale, yet the difference was not of the individual owners on that square had to be offered inducements in the way of high prices to persuade them to give up their property and go elsewhere. It is sometimes said that when the gov- ernment attempts to buy property in this city exorbitant prices are demanded. The acquisition of the post office square and of the square by the railroad company tak- ing place as it did within a short inter- val shows that in this instance the government was treated exactly as a private individual, and secured prop- erty on equally as favorable terms. Like a good many other statements that are made in regard to this city, this charge is shown to be without foundation, and there is no doubt that if the government should under- take to secure sites for the public buildings Which are so badly needed, it would meet with the same fair and just treatment. Sewers and the Water Supply. The action of the District Commissioners in directing the closing of wells the water of which was found to be impure is only another indication, in a small way, it is true, of the growth of the city. As a rule the public is densely ignorant in regard to the disposal of sewage. This is mainly be cause the machinery for carrying off the waste from houses is hidden away beneath the ground, and, therefore, what is out of sight is out of mind. It seems difficult for the average resident of a city to appreciate the fact that the sewer pipes, which form @ network beneath the ground in a thickly populated section, are Hable to leakage from defective joints. In the course of time the ground naturally becomes scaked with sew- age matter. Citizens are occasionally forci- bly reminded of this subterranean condition when a trench is opened or en excavation is made by the sickness which enters their households from the pollution which is thus exposed. This being one of the conditions of city life, it is rot unnatural that wells which are sunk through this corrupt mass of earth should become infected with poisonous matters. ‘The fact is that a pure water supply is of taore importance to the health of the resi- dents of a city than a sewer system, al- | though, of course, in a thickly, densely Populated section it is essential that there should be sewer facilities. Residents of sub- urban towns might learn a wholesome les- son from the discussion that is now going on in regard to the causes of corruption of the water supply. Instead of looking upon @ sewer system as the first and most im: portant essential, an effort should Street railroads enter very largely into the summer life of the people of this city. Ev- ery evening during the heated term the cars on all the lines are thronged with People enjoying the rapid motion and the cool air. The suburban lines come in nat- urally for a large ape of this erga It is now possible to ride from the mits from five to seven miles oat Into tae country. There are four suburban roads carrying passengers to distant points into the coun- try to the north of the city, and it is prob- able that they find the summer travel the most profitable of the year. In addition to the street railroads there are the steam roads and the river boats, so that quite 4° the | be made to secure a water supply which will be free eu int wide range of choice is offered to those who a change from the atmosphere of city After all, it is found, in the opinion of many, that the temperature of the city, even hot weather in this city which are brought in by suburban of the weather in their locality. If thelr statements are to be believed, and in other particulars they have proved to be repu- table people, there is not a night during the heated term when they do not sleep under at least one blanket. when city residents have been suffering from a specially torrid night, their omy acquaintances are sure to put in an | pearance the next morning and talk ‘about the extremely chilly evening and how they were compelled during the night to get: up and close their windows and draw on their beds an extra blanket. No doubt the sub- urbs are delightful as a place of residence, but some people who don't live there have reached the conclusion that the violent changes in the temperature a person must be subject to in living in the suburbs and doing business in the city are too trying on the average constitution.
