dence. 67 New York avenue northwest,
a-. I : o'clock tomorrow morning.
Weeks of Work Ahead.
District officials and others estimated
today that it would be several weeks
before the storm damage would be en
tirelv repaired. The District is hurry
ing as fast as possible with the work
of charing the streets, and the broken
trees will all have been removed from
dangerous places within the next few
da.
Ulazers. tinners, and carpenters are
swamped with work, and it will be some
time before they can complete repairs
to the largo number of buildings that
Wen unroofed, had windows mown oui
and damaged in other ways by the ele
ments It is no' likely that any definite esti
li : of the actual daman" done by the
Storm can ever be made. Reports which
;. coming in to the police show that
practically no section of the District es
oned. Damage to the extent of thous
and of dollars which will never be re
ported was done to private residences.
In Miar.y homes where windows were
broken the water beat in, ruining walls,
ceilings, and furniture. In several of
the larger apartment houses of the
northwest the loss In this manner was
heavy.
In Potomac Park and also in Rock
Creek Park th. damage to valuable
trees was tremenduous.
Great Damage Along River.
Along the r:er front the storm caused
great damage and loss of property.
Hardly a boat anchored in the Wash
Ing'on or Georgetown channels escaped.
Several were blown from their moorings
and wrecked against the shore or over
turned. Small launches were blown
around like gg shells.
Police of all the precincts are still

making a canvass to ascertain the ex
tent of the property damage. Last
night and this morning they found that
a great many more buildings were un
roofed and damaged than was thought
at first. However, the police realize
that It Is the damage to Interior of
homes and other buildings that will run
the property loss close to the million
dollar mark. If it does not exceed that
figure. The damage done to awnings,
which were blown away or torn to
shreds, will run well into the thousands.
The threatening weather yesterday
afternoon at about the same hour as
Wednesday's terrific storm caused many
to feHr that there was gwlng to be a
repetition of the gale. Men and women
hurried home to close windows and
make things safe, but the storm went
around the District and the much
needed cooling rain did not reach Wash
ington. Four Hundred Men
Attack Storm Debris
CASTRO'S
Work on the removal of the debris
caused b.- the storm Is being pushed as
npidly as possible. I'nder the direc
tion of Assistant Superintendent Dole
300 men and fifty-five teams of the
street cleaning department are at work
in the northwest and southwest sec
tions of the city, where the damage
was greatest. In addition, 100 men and
thirty teams of the department tf trees
and parkings are employed.
Truman Lanham. superintendent of
trees and parkings, said this morning
that It will be a week or ten days be
fore the streets and avenues are com
pletely cleared. The work is being
done systematically. The city has been
laid out into sections, each of which
will be visited at the earliest possible
moment. Superintendent Lanham said
he has received hundreds of telephone
calls asking that workmen be sent Im
mediately to certain localities, but that
this is impossible as the task must be
accomplished according to schedule.
The majority of the trees destroyed
were silver maples and Carolina pop
lars. These will be replaced In the
fall, when the regular planting season
begins, by hardier specimens, such as
the sycamores and oaks. Between 15,000
and 20,000 tree3 were destroyed or se
verely damaged, according to the offi
cials. The loss to the District in dol
lars cannot be accurately estimated,
but it will run into thousands of dollars.
