SENT TO COMMISSIO Revised Plan of Second Section of Street Extensions. THE PROTESTS RECAPITULATED The Report Made by Assistant En- gineer Richards. MATTERS “OF DETAIL eee eee The revised plan for the second section of the permanent system of highways in that part of the District outside the city limits, north of Florida avenue between North Capitol street and the Eastern branch, was forwarded this afternoon by the District Commissioners to the highway commission, which body is composed of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the In- terior and the chief of engineers of thg army. With the pian the Commissioners transmitted the report of Mr. W. P. Rich- ards, the assistant engincer in charge of the extension of streets. Mr. Richards’ Report. —_ The report of Mr. Richards, which has been approved by the Commissioners, is as follows: “I have the honor to submit the revised plans of the second section of the perma- nent system of highways, which has been changed from the former plan in the fol- lowing particulars: “A complete revision has been made in the parts contiguous to the Baltimore and Otio railroad, so that the numerous cross- irgs involved in the former scheme have been reduced to one-third the sumber and designed to be above or below the grade of the railroad. The plan has been to locate a highway on each side of the railroad, distant about 150 feet, ihe cross streets passing by a viaduct or a depressed way at convenient intervals and at points favored by topographical features. “In the revised study of this problem the Prcposed change of the main line of the railroad to a location parallel and north of New York avenue has been accepted as a rigid condition. That part of the B. and O. railroad along Trinidad and Ivy City is to be abandoned, as now understood, and will eventually become an avenue. Protests on File. “The protests made before the highway commission and which were referred to this office with the map, have been care- fully considered ar changes therein sug- gested have, in many instances, appeared in the interest of economy as well as add- ing desirable features to the plan. “Protest No. 1 is against the abandon- ment of Linccin avenue, in front of Pros- pect Hill cemetery, and against extending ist street north of Rhode Island avenue. This protest is in harmony witp economy and usefulness, and is incorporated in the Map as the best plan for this particular place. “Protest No. 2 is partly acceded by reduc- ing the road space at Michigan avenue and 4th street, which seems reasonable to do. The extension of Lowell street was con- sidered of too much importance for any change, and Mr. Davidge did not appear at the recent hearing to urge such. “Protests Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 were against the Fort drive and other highways in vi- cinity of the Harewood road. The drive is considered a very desirable feature of the sccond section pian and a slight change in its location has been proposed, with a view of making it less hurtful of private interests. The location suggested on the revised plan has economic and topographi- cal advantages, affording easier grades with less cutting and handsomer points of observation. “The parties protesting against the drive and adjacent plan have examined the re- cent design and have stated no further ob- jections desiring, in fact, to have the scheme completed on such lines. “Protest No. 7 was so general, being an opposition to any scheme, that no changes have been considered. Dahigren Circle. “Protests Nos. 8 and 9 were against drop- ping out Dahigren circle at 12th street and Rhode Islana avenue It is recorded, but half its size, breaks important lines of travel, and would require a radical change of plan in order to conform to it. It has no natural location and serves no general purpose in retaining it. It has, therefore, been abandoned as by the former plan. “Protest No 10 has received additional weight by changes in the revised plan. U street is not to be extended between 4th and 6th streets, in Eckington, as the cost and benefits do not seem to be in propor- técn, and it seems well to omit it between 2d and 3d streets. A short extension be- tween 3d and 4th streets is retained, as suggested in this protest. “Protest No. 11 was against the extension of Delaware avenue. The avenue has been relocated by reason of the change due to grade crossings, and the cause of this pro- test is thus removed. “Protest No. 12 has an estimate of the amount of grading required by the former plan, as well as the large percentage token in the strcet areas for the tract east of Eckington ana called Brentwood. Objection is therefore made to the plan for this tract and also a protest against any plan, in general, being filed for the second section. “The Brentwood tract is quite hilly and well-wooded in parts, and the idea followed in the revised plan is to cut it by as few highways as possible and upon Hines of most favorable grade. As the tract lies next to the Deaf and Dumb Institute but few lines of travel are needed, and iarge blocks can well be left for future resubdi- vision, or sor park “or institutional pur- poses. Kendall Green Considered. “Protest No. 13 is from the president of the Columbia Institute for the Deaf and Dumb against any streets through Kendall Green. By the revised plan a continuation of Mount Olivet road is made to New York avenue and is judged to be of little injury to the grourds and of great public need. The opening of such a street, however, is a metter of future congressional action. “Protest No. 14 is a request that Mon- tella avenue be retained between 22d and Albany streets. It appears desirable as a place street ard has been left in the plan. “Protest No. 15 is a request by Mr. T. L. Holbrook that the streets of Trinidad be extended eastwardly to the Bladensburg road. The subdivision of Trinidad being too extensive to allow the extension of city Streets without enormous cost, it was con- sidered preferable'to allow the Bladensburg road to be the dividing line between the city system and the Trinidad plan. By the ¢ ‘Trinidad avenue was made the dividing line between the two systems, and was more costly and improbable of com- pletion while of no public advan “Protests Nos. 16 and 17 are removed tho revised plan for extending a Creek Church road and the Baltimore and Obio railroad and the resultant plan been pronounced satisfactory by the mA jectors. Curvilinear Plan Suggested. “In addition to the above a curvilinear Plan is suggested for parts of the section east of the Bladensburg road, where the old scheme would require cuts of fifty or sixty feet or excessive grades. “The subdivision of Woodridge also has been modified as an economical measure and one or two avenues nave been reduced in width, 160 feet seeming excessive at — great distance from the center of the ity. “Portions of North and South streets have been omitted with advantage to the plan, leaving longer blocks and less streets to be cared for in the future. “These last changes have been made with the knowledge and consent of the parties interested, and it is believed that they do Let care to be heard further on the sub- “Concerning all the above changes it may be said that they hinge on matters of detail, and that the revised plan as re- gards the trunk lines of travel and the ma- jority of cross-streets varies little from the original plan. “No ideal plan can, of course, be made for this section without ignoring existing subdivisions, roads, etc., which is not ad- missible. ., rhe interests of the public and the in- cividual have been harmonized as far as possible, and within a certain probable limit of cost. “The revised plan is submitted as the best that can be devised under present circum- stances to develop the needs of this section in the most economical manner.” THE COURTS, Court of Appeals—Present,the chief justice, Mr. Justice Morris and Mr. Justice Shepard. 70—Waite, executrix, agt.
