GIVE THE MEASURE THEIR APPROVAL co Board Wants Authority to Change Plans When Necessary. ONLY POINT OF DIFFERENCE The District Commissioners today sub- mitted to Congress their report on the act introduced last week in both houses of Congress to amend the highway extension act of March 2, 1893, which was prepared by the board of trade after several con- ferences with the Commissioners. The Commissioners, as was stated in The Star several days ago, approve . the amendatory act, provided it be amended in several minor instances, but they insist that they be given authority to make such changes in the plan of the proposed improvements, after the map shall have been filed, as in their judgment may ap- pear necessary and proper. This point, it will be recalled, was the only one on which the board of trade and the Commissioners differed. The Commissioners are of the opinion that it is not such a difference as will endanger the passage of the pro- posed bill. Several of the amendments advised by the Commissioners were suggested by the treasurer of the United States, to whom they referred a copy of the amendatory act, these amendments relating to the pro- pesed issue of bonds for the payment of the conteruplated improvements. The Commissioners vigorously urge that the general government shall bear its pro- portionate share of the expense of the improvements, remarking that the justice of such an arrangement is too apparent to require argument. To repeal the highway extension act, they say, would be ab- solutely contrary to the best interests of the District, and, while they contend that to ii the taxation ions of the and inadmissible, to carry out act would be un- they say the pro- posed issue of bonds is not only feasible, but t it will not by any means prove burdensome to the people of the District. Full Text of the Report. report of the Commissioners is as The follow “The Commissioners have the honor to return herewith the bill H. R. 5882, Fifty- fifth Congress, second session, to amend an act of Congress approved March 2, 18% entitled ct to provide a permanent hways in that part of the ct of Columbia lying outside of cities, for other purposes,’ ‘In retur: this bill the Commissioners desire to invite attention to the fact that the experience of all growing cities has shown clearly the need of a comprehensiy plan laid out far in advance of the exten- of the stre venues through suburban distr r vicinity.

The act of 1893, known as the ‘Highway Extension Act,’ was de- signed to remedy these evils. tical operation it ha if In its prac- s proved to be difficult, ot impossible, to execute all of its pro- . and the amendments proposed in bill, with cer others herein pro- , are bi y the Commissione » of securing the law, and also to remove certain hardships entailed by the act in its present condition as well as scemingly unwise provisions in the act it- self. “The general provisions of the act may be divided into two parts: First, to secure a degree of harmony in the street system within subirvisions existing at the time of the pas-axe of the act; and, second, to pro- vide for future extensicns of highways through unsubdivided lands, as they may be required. The conditions of property are radically diferent In the subdivided and unsubdivided lands. In subdivisions the property is held in small parcels, many of which are improved or which are about to be improved, for residence purposes. ‘These parcels as originally laid out had their based in part on the positions of as they then existed, and in many the owners of them have been obliged to borrow money, using the land as security. in order to build their houses. Under these conditions any legal status y way throws a cloud upon the title makes it difficult to transfer this land or to borrow money upon it, and works a hardship upon the owners. Entails Hardship. “In numerous instances which have come under the notice of the Commissioners this hardship has been a real one, in some cases almost wiping out the savings of a lifetime of worthy citizens. For these rea- sons it is only just and proper that what- ever changes are made in these existing subdivisions should be made promptly, and should be accompanied by immediate pay- ment for land taken or damage inflicted. “The unsubdivided lands are today used for farm or villa purposes, or for invest- ments for people of ample means. The fact that at some time streets laid out on a definite plan will extend across them in no wise militates against the owner. That this is a fact can be proved from the ex- perience in many cities of the country. Through these lands highways are requir- ed under one of two conditions—first, where the owner desires to subdivide his land and to place it on the market in small parcels, and, second, when it is necessary to connect a suburban community with the city. “Experience in this District has shown that where the owner desires to put his land on the market, the highways or parts of highways laid out:to cross it are dedi- cated for the use of the public, and such dedication in many instances has rebulted in large profit, some of the lands thus sub- divided in recent years having paid a iarge return even when to the value of land ded- icated for highways there have been add- ed large charges for grading and paving the streets and sidewalks at private ex- pense. Under ’the second condition, that of establishing a highway over unsubdivided lands for the purpose of furnishing a main artery to connect suburban communities ation of thi with the city, it may become necessary to acquire by purchase or condemnation a right of way. In this last case, for the protection of the taxpayers, the bill pro- vides that Congress shall give direct au- thority in each case before such payments are made. Relating to Compensation. “Granting the justice of the above, the question arises, how shall pro¥ision be made for the funds necessary to pay for the land taken in existing subdivisions? A late revision of streets proposed through such subdivisions in the first section shows street shall be laid down not necessary as @ public highway for through amount of land to juired terially reduced now in existence in subdivisions within the first section, so called [ying to the north of the city between Rock creek and the Rock creek parks © West and North Capitol street on thé, ¢; are shown in the first section of the bill. The cost of these changes, together with such changes as wil be required in €xisting subdivisions of the second, third[@nd fourth sections, it is confidently believed. will, without con- sidering the general Jbenefits, fall within the sum of $4,000,000. This sum, then, must be provided for use ip the immediate future. A portion of it wl be repaid un- der the provisions for assessing general benefits contained inthe ‘hill. Pledge of the Enitgd States. “Under the organic pet 6f 1878 the Unit- ed States has pledged itself to pay one-half the expenses of the Distriet of Columbia. Under the acts relating to ¢he extension of streets and highways;Congress has direct- ed that in making these’ extensions the streets and highways laid down shall be cpened on the same magnificent scale, as to width and plan, as now exists in the city of Washington, so as to make for ail time the capital of the nation a city second to none in the world in beauty and mag- nificence. Inthe city of Washington the proportional part of land taken for streets and avenues and the smal! reservations, excluding the large parks, is about 50 per cent of the total area. In the suburbs the streets and reseryativns, as laid down un- der the proposed extensions, will average from 35 to 40 per cent of the area. In the city of Boston this percentage averages 30, and in Philadelphia about 25. “The mistake must not be made, how- ever, that this increased area taken for streets and highways in Washington over the areas taken in the cities named mean: er implies a proportional increase in the cost of improving and maintaining such Streets and highways when in existence, since, after the first cost of grading has been paid, the actual area paved or im- proved for roadways and sidewaiks is near- ly the same as in other cities, Needs No Argument. “The Commissioners believe that the jus- tice of maintaining the provisions of the act of June 1, 1878, in which the United States entered into an agreement to bear one-half the expenses of the District of Columbia, is too apparent to require argu- ment here, and they strongly urge that the bill as amended in these. particulars be en- acted into law. “When confronted with the necessity for the payment of the District's half of the $4,000,000, and by the fact that this amount cannot be paid from the revenues of the POLES ED PG Hahn’s Midwinter ' Closing Out SHOE Sale Begins Tomorrow. : Regularly every six months we CLOSE OUT our entire stock.

Omniscience is not | % granted to any man, nor Is it given to any | # man to know in every detail even whe the needs of this District will be in so smali a matter, comparatively, as the plans of its streets. The general principles and plans, however, can be adopted today, and should be, but some provisions should be de by means of which minor changes can be effected from time to time as the needs require. In some of the through the more broken parts of the trict, it is probable that actual experienc in laying out the streets upon the ground will show that many thousands of dollars might be saved by moving a portion of it, only half of it In other cases it may prove desirable to hav a large area in one tract, for education purposes, or for the needs of the municl- pality or general government. This can be done only by closing streets proposed across such tracts or deflecting them them, While experience in other has shown that ci in an adopt- | 2 ed plan should be made difficult in ord x that the condition of permanency may not | 3 be impaired unduly, it has shown a at | such changes do become necessary at times, and that provision should be made for them. It does not seem to be the part of wisdom to be compelled to take up the time of Congress with matters of this sort. The necessary delay aléne in getting con- gressional action in some instances would prove an insurmountable obstacle.
