The need for this street has been made more acute by the closing of several north and south streets in the Federal building triangle during construction work now under way, Treasury officials were told. Assurances were given by Maj. Heath that the street could be taken over by the District gov- ernment for the improvement work be- ginning* November 1, or as soon there- after as it is needed.

Whitehurst explained, to connect two ends of a big storm water sewer which already has been installed on the north and south ends of this stretch of the street. This will be the first job. Curbing Is Installed. Curbing already has been installed, widening Fifteenth street by 20 feet, making it now a 70-foot-wide traffic artery. The paving will be done by McGuire & Rolfe, contractors, under a genmng contract, who, Capt. White- urst explained, are now doing much street work here under a yardage basis, including Union Station Plaza. The paving will include a new 9-inch con- crete base, topped with asphalt. Although the new street will be fin- ished by about the middle of December, no final decision has been reached as to the exact date it will be opened for public use. £ HOWARD UNIVERSITY DEAN DISMISSED Donawa Blamed in Failure of Den- tistry College to Co-operate With Medical School.
