Tliu bill Introduced hi tliu Houso by
3lr, Howell of Illinois, on tlio ISOili or
Innuary, "to ilcnil the Mrcols ami
n unties of "Washington," Is u mciisitra
wilhllio gcnciiil pr!nriilos of which
wolienitlly concur, mid lis dclulls nrc
understood to Imvc liccn drawn not
wily wllh a view to tho most olTcctivc
oxeetillon of tlio Improvcmont pro
posed, lint with enraful regard to nil
ilic intercuts involved.
Tito object or tho bill In, In bilof, to
lnlng tho outlying tracts and subdl
ItIoiiH of tho District, north of tho
Jioundnry, Into conformity with tho
existing plans of tho city of "Wiwhlng
ington, so far ns the connecting
thoroughfares of travel and trunsvorso
Micets nro concerned.
At present tliero Is a snd lack of
uniformity In this respect. Kach of
thovnilotis subdivisions has a set of
streets of its own, wholly at vnrlnuco
with thoso of tho city, and running in
their own irregular directions, thus
marring tho symmetry of design origi
nally contemplated in tho laying out of
tho National Capital and constituting
one of ls most pleasing and notablo
features, besides lessoning to n great
extent tho conveniences of communi
cation between tho city and Its sub
urbs. It Is proposed by the bill In question
to reconstruct the Btrccts and avenues
f that portion of tho District men
tioned, so that they shall form one
harmonious system in conjunction with
tho, city proper, Instead of an awkward
i-imtrnst and often actual obstruction.
The uniform growth and extension of
tlio city should have been provided for
in tho first instance, upon tho assump
tion that tho Capital, instead of being
si part, t'ompilscs all of tliu District or
County j but it is not too lato for tho
adoption of such a. systematic policy
now,, and the sooner it is undertaken
tho better".
Tlio bill proposes that tho work shall
be dono'liy n commission of throe per
sons, to bo njipoinlod by tlio President,
and in accordance with plats or maps
picpaiedby the District Commissioners,
bhowing tho course of the streets to bo
extended, tho new lines of subdivision
mid tho location of property, improved
or otherwise, that will require to bo
londcmncd for the purpose indicated.
J-Qitl duties and powers of the cominis
Mon aro minutely prescribed, and they
nre authorized to draw upon tho Treas
ury for such moneys as may bo needed
to pay for lands and Improvements
condemned, "said appropriations to bo
continuous and to bo chargeablo In a
K'paratc account to tho District of Col
umbia, with interest at 3 per cent, until
repaid." It is then provided that half
of the sums expended shall becomo a
lien on tho revenues to bo paid Into the
Treasury In twenty-iivo annual in
stallments and the other half bo as
sessed "upon tho property abutting
upon the streets and avenues extended
and benefited thereby" and collecta
ble! as other taxes, in llvo annual Install
ments, Pome measure of this kind Is greatly
needed and will ultimately have to bo
parsed. As already suggested, tho
(oner tho necessary legislation itf had,
tin more easily and inexpensively may
Its objects bo carried out.
