CONTRACT FOR SEWER
ON MONUMENT STREET
Monument street, a thoroughfare in
the western section of the city,
where many colored tenant houses
are located, is at last to have a sewer
This improvement is one for which
Alderman Russell, of the Fourth
ward, has fought for the last two
years. Recently the City Council de
cided to ask for bids for the work.
Two bids were submitted and were
opened at last night's meeting of the
Council, and that of D. V. Bright, a:
50.75 being the lowest, was accepted.
The only other hid was tha; of Clias.
A Howard at $850.00, Mr. Howard
also offered a bid for the proposed
sewer on Shipwright street, the figure
being $1,175. It appears that this
sewer would le for the accommoda
tion of probably only one taxpayer
on tl)e street, and action was deferr
ed. In the meantime, however, it was
suggested by Alderman Parkinson,
that the city might make a satisfac
tory arrangement to tap the sewer
on the property of Judge Rolen Moss,
which would relieve the existing con
ditions.

Wrwhington. has no space left between

that General Wood was never given in
important active command during the
war. Hut to placate the public some
thing must be done.
“The bestowal of tbo 1). S. M <wi
General Wood is h >artily approved h\
the eniire Armv service, but the re.sou
foi; such a bestowal looks like an in
terrogation point in the minds of
everyone who has a knowledge of Gen

Inquiry also should be made into
eases of civilians, who receive medal;,
it being chirped that Kisemann. of
Cleveland, who was mixed up in the
clothing and shoddy, graft and also in

OF SOLDIER SONS
(By the :m--fitted fn-ssi
Washimrton. 11. ( „ Jan. I.‘. The
question of bringing home ’he 1 odies
of American soldiers buried in the
battle lines in France got into Con
gress anew today with a hearing of
two hundred parents asking for their
return before the House Foreign Af
fairs Committee and later with the in
troduction of a resolution- by Chair
man Porter to direct the President to
have the bodies returned.
Stephen T. Early, former Captain
of Infantry and Secretary of the
American Field of Honor Associa
tion. asked the committee to give a
hearing before tiie Association's rep
resentatives before acting finally.
The Association. which numbers
among its members former President
Taft. Samuel Gompers and Cornelius
Vandert i!t. does no* oppose tiie re
turn of any soldier's body if request
ed by the next of kin. but proposes
a permanent main cemetery in
France for those v.ho remain and
recommend’ against a blank return
of H’e t odies. Parents proposing th’s
have no complete assurance that they
are receiving the remains of a loved
one and may even receive the re
mains of a German.

ASK FOR IMPROVEMENTS I
Residents Of Spa View Heights
Before Council
PAD CONDITION THERE
A delegation of residents of “Spa
View Heights." a section of the city
jus* beyond Murray Hill, last night
m. dv a formal appeal to the M i.vor and
City Council for much needed improve
raents.
The delegation was headed by Dr
Samuel Garner, one of the firs- settlers !
in that neighborhood. who a-red as
spokesman. The chief things com
plained of, and which the city was ask
ed to make the necessary provisions to
overcome, was that as to the muddy *
.condition of the streets or roadways. '
bettor lighting facilities, ami better 1
t.re protection. 1
It was pointed out that the road
ways and sidewalks frequently are ’
deep with mud What is needed is the 1
establishment of a grade of the streets,,
so that residents may proceed with the
laying of proper sidewalks The roads
are frequently rendered impassable to
automobiles and other trittie. and mer
chants of the city refuse to deliw r
goods there because of existing con- '
ditions. Dr. Garner told the Council. '
Five additional electric lights are ask- '
ed fog at this time by the pe-itioiier
As to better fire protection, it was
stated that the plugs are too tar re
moved from some of the property
Alderman Parkinson, whose ait-w
tion had been brought to conditions,
stat'd that to carry out a scheme of ‘
improveynents in the settlement would j
cost about $25,000. Dr. Garner, how- 1
j
ever, said that the residents would be
satisfied at present, if the city w uld '
set the proper grade for the streets.
The Council, after sonic little dis
cussion, referred the matter to the ,
street and electric- light' commit toes, '
and City Commissioner Vansant. to go
ovc* the situation thoroughly, and they
were delegated with power to take tin
necessary steps in the premises
