FAVORS THE CHS ________________ I Decision of Commissioners Re garding site tor stable. FINALLY SETTLED TODAY Messrs. Maofarland and West Vote Against the Proposition. LOCATION TO BE ELSEWHERE Projected Building in Block Bounded by Bryant, Adams, Second and ! Third Streets Abandoned. I The District stables are not to be located in the block bounded by Bryant, Adams, 3d and 2d streets northwest. The question of this stable, which has been responsible for considerable friction during the past two weeks, the proposed site being bitterly opposed by almost the entire number of resi- > dents and owners of property within a radius of several blocks of the site, was definitely settled this morning in favor of the citizens and property interests, when ! Commissioners Macfarland and West voted against Commissioner Morrow's recom- ' inundation to locate the stables at that point. Commissioner West was opposed to locating the stables in Bloomingdale from * the time they were first proposed by Capt. Morrow. He was still more convinced In I his views after hearing the arguments pre- I sented by the hundred or more citizens ! who appeared before the Commissioners at < the District building a week ago, and after he personally visited the proposed site and 1 made a thorough study of the prevailing i conditions. He stated that there are many 1 reasons why the stable should not be lo- 1 cated at that point, and very few why it 1 should be. Commissioner Alacfarland was also lm- < pressed with the injustice of the proposl- I tion after hearing the arguments of the < fit i?pn?! iinH Q ftur \ricltir??r the cltc r\aronn. T ally. He Is of the opinion, he states, that . the site would interfere with development in that section. He stated that while he can appreciate the prospect of such a development being doubtful, which is the opinion of the Engineer "Commissioner, he cannot take that view, and for these reasons he voted against Capt. Morrow's motion. Mr. Macfarland's Views. Commissioner Macfarland's indorsement on the papers in this case, which practically settled the question, as Commissioner West unomciany announcea r.is intention to vote against the proposition several days ago, was as follows : "I have carefully considered the Engineer Commissioner's recommendation and reasons, and also the statements made at the public hearing and the facts observed in a personal inspection of the neighborhood. I agree with the Engineer Commissioner that the water department stable ought to be n^ar the water department headquarters? now at the Bryant street pumping station? Vw. nt r.r.At Amv rwl r, rti . , U,-, n ,r , iu mc iiiiviroi ui t\.unuui ? anu cim.iciiv-j', < and that the site selected was the best ' available from the engineer department i point of view. I agree that the proposed ] stable on that site would not In any way < menace either the water supply or McMillan i Park. It Is, of course, Incredible that the Engineer Commissioner would propose anything that would Injure the water supply or McMillan Park, or that the Commissioners would seriously consider any proposition . that would have that effect. "1 a^ree that as a matter of the nresent the proposed stable would Improve the appearance of the block containing the site, now chiefly occupied by very poor buildings. some of which are about to be condemned as Insanitary. But I cannot agree that the better built-up property to the east and south would not be unfavorably affected in value to a serious extent by the erection of tills or any other large stable within a comparatively short distance. Element ot Doubt. 1 "Beyond this I think there is sufficient j doubt as to whether there may not be a . continuance westward of the building of excellent houses such as are to be found 1 eastward to make It desirable that the stable should not be placed upon the Bryant street site, lest It might Interfere with such a westward development. While I appreciate that the prospect of such development is doubtful, so that the Engineer Commissioner may well regard it as negligible, I cannot take that view. For these two reasons I must vote against his motion, n- i? Vi full nnnfiHori/iQ that t Vi rnn cVinnt Via n 111 1 i Uli ?.Uil IIUVIIVV LWU L till UUQ1IUUV il\. has done what he believed the best interests of the District required. "If the'stable is not to txvput upon this site I suggest that the site might be used as a municipal playground by loan from the District to the Playground Association, and that the citizens of the vicinity should be asked to contribute to its maintenance as such playground." Mr. West Opposes. "The DaDers In this case have not yet reached me," said Commissioner West, 'but as I announced some days ago I shall vote against the location of the stable on Bryant street. Capt. Morrow has made a strong and able presentation of the engineer department's position in the matter, but, at the same time, I am glad that Commissioner Macfarland has finally decided to agree with me in opposing the establishment of the stable." ' Commissioner West stated that he is also Ivoartill' in fon/w />< I n < tlt/v ncai in J lit iu>ui Ul wn?ci llllg UIC BIIC UllU a public playground and that he had thought of the scheme several weeks ago. However, this proposition Is not likely to materialize, as It Is understood the property will be sold by the District department, and a new site will be looked for. Records Deed of Trust. James Gibbons, Archbblshop of Baltimore. today placed on record a deed of trust to secure the repayment to the Knlg'hts of Columbus of $15,000 in five years with per cent Interest. The note is secured on lots 89 to 00. In square 1015, on which are located St. Cyprian's Church anil rectory, at 13th and C streets northeast. Francis P.

J GENERAL NEWS GATHERED ON THE RIVER FRONT The summer exodus from the city starts as soon as the public schools close and parents can take their children to the country for the summer. The cool weather of the early part of June seems to have made the present warm weather all the more uncomfortable, and has caused the annual migration to the resorts along the lower Potomac to start suddenly and to be quite heavy on the first jump. Wednesday afternoon the steamer Wakefield, which Is running on the lower river route, when she Dulled out from her dock here shortly after 4 o'clock looked as If she had an excursion party aboard, as her decks were crowded with passengers. Some were going to Wilkerson's, some to Colton's, and to other points, but the bulk of them purchased tickets for Colonial Beach, and will spend the entire summer there. The travel to the down-river resorts will be quite heavy for about two months, and about September the tide will turn and the heavy travel will be from down the river this way. Work is being pushed on the tug William H. Yerkes, jr., of the Taylor fleet of this city, and her owners expect to have her In service again about the end of the present week. The tug has been lying at this city for two weeks or longer, having considerable work done to her boiler and machinery, and when she is again ready for service she will he in thorougn order and will be ready to at once return to service towing vessels on Chesapeake bay and Its tributaries. There Is a great scarcity of towboats on the Potomac and the bay fit for towing large vessels, caused by many tugs being employed on special charters. The Yerkes when she goes into service again will be under the command of- Capt. Ollie Crowder.
