Kidney it ALEXANDRIA COUNTY AFF! Independent Candidate for House of Delegates—School Matters. One of the interesting subjects command- ing the attenticn of the citizens of Alexan- @ria city and county is the coming election for the house of delegates to the Virginia legislature. Before and since the demo- © primary, held recently, the matter seussed quite extensively, and the general desire, thanks to the wide sion and general airing of the con- jon in which things are at present, that some one shall be sent who wili represent the sentiments of the people, and to sce that just and equitable laws be enacted that shall subdue the existing evils. Mr. Lewis Bailey, the nominee on the regular democratic ticket, is not popular with the great mass of voters, and many did not vote at the late primary in the hepe that some one would be put up who would be independent of the “ring” which has for years influenced all elections in the city and county. To test the senti- ment in the county the name of Mr. Frank Hume was entered in the county primaries against Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Hume carried the county by an overwhelming majority. This being the case, it is claimed that a good man on the independent ticket can win with ease, as the time has come when the community should be delivered from the rule of machine politics. What is needed, it is claimed, is some one who has the best interests of the com- munity at heart, irrespective of any other ecnsideration. Recognizing this necessity, one of Alexandria’s best citizens and bus- iress men has been urged to enter the race, and it is thought there is great probability of his yielding to the solicitations of his friends and announcing himself a candi- date, and he has received assurances of the hearty support of the county voters. The first week of the public schools of Jefferson district clesed with a good shovr- ing of scholars enrolled, the average being in the neighborhood of thirty to a school. “the organization of the classes has been comple’ and pupils and teachers have settled down to their winter's work. The holding of a teachers’ meeting, where mecdern methods of teaching and other Matters pertaining to the advancement of the work of the schools under their charge can be discussed, is one of the theories Mr. John’ Robertson, chairm: of trustees, has in view t it is a matter which wo of intere: to every one who has the wel- fare of the publie schools in view. The proximity of Washington, with its :ine sys- tem, he says, should serve as a spur to bet- ter endeavors in the county of Alexandria. It is ramored that a new registration for Jefferson district will soon be ordered. The last registration made was years ago, and contains the names of many who have moved aw: It is also of y and some who are deceased. eged that many of the Jackson City, which play portant part in elections, in registering through misrepre- and their names are carried over to year when they are not, in awe s being held by Rev.

PLAN COMPLETE IN A GENERAL WAY City Streets Extended to the Sub- urban Territory. DOUBLE SYSTEM OBSERVED ————E The third section of the permanent sys- tem of highways, a plan of which is shown by the above cut, is complete in a general way, some details in block distances being all that are wanting. In the highway act it is stated that the new streets shall be made as nearly in conformity with the street plan of the city of Washington as the Commissioners may deem advisable and practicable. This provision was made in view of the known broken topography of portions of the District. The general plan on which Washington is laid out is acknowledged to be one of the beet in the world, consisting, as it does, of a double system of streets, one dividing the territory into blocks as regular as con- ditions will admit, and the other providing a system of diagonal thoroughfares for the convenience of travel. In carrying out this plan, where practicable, the streets of the first system are arranged on parallel lines at right angles to each other, and, where the topography is sufficiently even to per- mit this to be done without undue cost, it is both practicable and advisable. Where the topography is very much broken, the same conditions of advisability and practi- cability prescribe that the first system of streets shali conform to a certain extent to the lay of the land, any other system be- ing rendered impracticable and inadvisable by the enormous expense involved. This is a generally recognized principle, and is fol- lowed in the newer districts of broken country adjoining the cities of Boston, New York and Baltimore, for example. The Dividing Line. Just where the dividing line between the strictly parallel streets of the first system and those conforming more naturally to the topography should be made is a mat- ter of judgment, and in a division between the absolutely regular and the more nat- ural system conforming to the ground is necessarily arbitrary, and must depend up- on the nature of the locality as a guide to the expense to be incurred. The absolutely regular system, when once completed, pre- sents great advantages in numbering streets and houses, but it destroys the pos- sibility of the besuty which a city would derive from Its site alone. ba ‘An inspection of the above map will show how the system of avenues laid down in the city have been extended and car- red out over the county, and also that the rectangular system of north and south and east and west streets has been laid down over the central and northwest portions of the section. Filled With Ravines. Bordering the Conduit read and in the region along Connecticut avenue extended the land 1s so filled with deep ravines and sharp ridges as to preclude a direct exten- sion of all streets, and these special condi- Ucns have been treated in the following mann At the places Indicated by A and B are two points less than a half mile from the Conduit road and nearly 400 feet above the Potomac, affording places of exceptional outlook toward all points of the compass. These have been selected as sites for parks, with Nebraska avenue, and Ukewlse, between B and C, where Arizona avenue is located, Hes another deep hollow. idea of the depth of these ravines, if a rifle ball be shot on a level from.A to B and again from B to C, it woule pass 200 feet above the ravines, although the points are little more than half a mile apart. The best lines into the city are, hence, by some route to the Conduit and New Cut reads, rather than by streets descending into these valleys. The system has, there- fore, been broken between the | points named above, and streets are run parallel with the streams on lines of easy grades. It will be noted at A how streets generally lead to the Conduit road, and how at B they trend toward the New Cut road, mak- ing these highways the trunk lines of travel for all those parts immediately fac- ing the Potomac river. A Familiar Section. The next portion of the plan that de- manded some special treatment was that along Connecticut avenue, a section with which mest Washingtonians are familiar. The present condition of the avenue, with its deep cuts and fills, is a fair example of what is necessary to be done for the ac- commodation of any due north and south street that may cross it. Not only must it be remembered that these streets, wher- ever laid out, are to be graded, but the lots facing thereon must be cut or filled as well. In order to picture the effect of such grading a map bounded by Woodley road, Rock creek and Massachusetts ave- nue was prepared so as to show, in a per- spective way, what effect grading a rectangular system has upon lots and pri- vate holdings. A calculation was care- fully made as to the cost of so grading this small portion below Woodley road. the amount exceeding $1,000,000. Apply this to the tracts for the whole length of Con- necticut avenue extended, which are equal- ly rough, and you have an expense out of all proportion to the mere benefits of a rectangular system. The section, although rough, 13 exceedingly picturesque, and 2 fine growth of trees cover much of it. New Features Suggested. The question suggested was whether some of the natural beauties could not be woven into a street system and some new and pleasing feature be added in place of a stiff ard formal plan. Betwéen Connecti- cut avenue and the Georgetown road is a proposed curved drive, which really takes the place of an avenue line, and by its de- viations forms an easier line of travel than ean be found on the Connecticut avenue extersion. East of Connecticut avenue is another such avenue, leading from Rock creek to the Connecticut avenue circle at tke District line. These two avenues take the place of north and south streets, and by their positions render it unnecessary to make the enormous cuts and fills occasioned by straight lines. East and West Streets. Concerning the east and west streets it will be noted that straight lines are the rule, and that curves, wherever drawn, are continuous and make no decided break in the system. These curved east and west streets are so located as to follow parallel with the narrow and deep ravines, the ridges and streams lying within the mid- dle of the block and the streets intersect- ing Connecticut avenue where the grade of that avenue coincides with the natural surface of the land. It is not claimed that such a system will do away with the necessity of grading, but that the streets offer the easiest lines of travel coupled with the least expendi- ture of money. i rc Maps are now on exhibition at the Dis- trict building, which show by lines of eleva- tion the reasons guiding the selection of such lines of travel, and-a full discussion of the subject is intended before the map is finally forwarded to the highway com- mission. ———— CENTRAL UNION MISSIO General Rally in Celebration of Its Anniversary. The thirteenth anniversary of the found- ing of the Central Union Mission, which will occur Sunday next, is expected to mark an important epoch in the history of the institution. The promoters hope it will be the commencement of an era of prosperity in the affairs of the mission such as it has never yet experienced. The services, which will continue at inter- vals all day, will include a general rally of the workers, converts, patrons and friends of the mission and other exercises. The officers of the mission have accepted an invitation to hold services in the morn- ing at 11 o'clock. The music will be in charge of the mission singers, led by Mr. George C. Havell, who recently returned from a visit to England. The principal address will be delivered by President E. B. Bailey of the mi mn, his subject being “City Evangelization.’ At the close of this service dinner will be served in the mission dining room for those workers who cannot conveniently go home in the interval before the afternoon service. A prayer service will be begun at 2 p.m. in the chapel, when prayer will be offered for the mission and its work and for the con- verts and workers. Following the prayer meeting, a rally service will be held in the auditorium. There will be no set program or set speeches. The exercises wili commence with a song service, in which those songs which are most popular at the mission will be sung. At the close of these exercises there will, it is announced, be impromptu talks and testimonials from the converts and others, the list of speakers including a number of pastors and patrons. Speeches will be limited in length, in order to give opportunity for a general participation in the exercises. The speaking will be interspersed with songs and choruses and with prayer. At the close of this service the entire congre- gation will be invited to partake of a light luncheon, which will probably be served in the two band room. After luncheon a procession will be formed, and after a song on Market, space the whole body will march quietly to the First Congregational Church, where the evening service will be held. These exercises will consist of mission singing, testimonies by converts, presenta- tion of the claims of the work and brief ad- dresses. It is stated that the “new dollar fund,” a plan recently started to help the mission by getting a large number of subscriptions of that amount, promiseg to. be very success- ful. So far as heard from, every one has heartily approved of the plan. The propo- sition is to have every friend of the mis- sion who can do so convetilently contribute at least $1 a year for the support of the raission work.
