To the Editor of The Star: In the commendable articles ap- pearing in your valuable paper con- S [cerning the much neglected streets in and around the cjty of Washing- ton, may we not hope.that you will, by printer’s ink and photograph, de- pict the condition of the streets con- fronting owners and residents of property in Barry Farm, a part of the extremely southeastern portion of thig city, of which former Com- missioher Brownlow spoke as “the most neglected section of the city of FOULDS M acaroni Spaghefli Washington,” with a view of possibly expediting the condemnation al- ready begun, and particularly hope of bringing about the more im- portant task of thelir improvement? The history of this property for dwelling purposes dates back to the days immediately following the civil war, when the late Gen. O. O. Howard made the subdivision for the benefit of the then recently freed. Lots were sold to them for the sum of ap- proximately $200, and sufficient lum- ber given with the sale to build two rooms, the lots containing an acre of ground. This opportunity, gladly seized upon, was often followed by the purchase of additional lumber and larger homes built. These propertles, many times subdivided, are now largely owned and controlled by the descendants of the original pur- chasers, in many cases title having been in one family for more than fifty years. These have spent many hundreds of dollars improving their properties, are thrifty and prosperous, and number among them many of the best of Washington's citizens. Due to the way the plats were drawn at the time, together with the wording of the deeds, title to these lots carried with it title to the abutting roads or streets, and _this technicality has caused considerable embarrassment to the Commissioners in the upkeep 15-Jewel George Washington Model - $29.50 Five cents down and it’s yours Pay the balance in accordance with the terms on' the chart. l " After the First Payment of 5¢c Down Then ! 10c the 1st Week 2Ce the 2d Week 30c the 3d Week 40c the 4th Week 53¢ the 5th Week Then 1$1.00 Snirea Chas.

This has been in a measure overcome by receat condemnation _ proceedings, partic- ularly in so far as the part lying west of Nichold.avenue. 5 Streets Still Unimproved. Unlike the streets of which you write, . they being. comparatively speaKing, new thoroughfares, these streets stand now exactly as they stood fifty-five years ago, entirely unimproved, even lacking ordinary sidewalks for pedestrians, they being compelled now as then to share the roadways with vehicles. Your picture of a street almost impassable for, au- tomobiles during the recent 'bad weather was impressive, but some of these avenues of Barry Farm. notably Sheridan, were impassable either on foot or in machines, water standing for long stretches in some places more than a foot deep. This is not an iso- lated case, either, and vet, as humble citizens, we have meekly borne the burden of taxation for many vears without greatly complaining, only be- ing successful in recent years in ob- taining such ordinary benefits as lights and small-pipe, hydrants, most sparingly distributed. Then, too, the residents here have no regular sewerage system, no fire plugs, no regular water flow, depend- ing in a large measure upon wells and springs for fire emergencies, and, often to their sorrow, realizing in fimes of such distress their utter Ifutiltty in battling so formidable a foe. 1 have known of instances where the, nearest water for house- hold purposes was contained in a spring a city block distant. The streets or'roads are of clay, without solid bottom, and, being of necessity upon a grade, the approach of fire apparatus, with any degree of speed, in any weather, to put it mildly, is {very problematical. ‘I have known of | {its becoming imbedded in mud and | remaining there for at least the rest ! ot the day, when even with its limit- ed capacity (largely chemical) for {heip. its actual arrival upon the scene i might have saved hundreds of dol {lars’ worth of propert ! Tnable to Run Cars. | Many of the residents of this local- {ity not only this winter, but last and others, owning machines, some of Whom depend upon them for the earn- ‘ing of their daily bread, have been {unable to use them for weeks because 'of the impassable condition of the i roads in their immediate vicinity. i Is it any wonder, then, that fire in- surance companies decline risks very | often in this vicinity, and, in some cases, even when taken, upon be- oming advised of the exact cond ons, cancel them?
