Street Plan.-From the Capitol as a central point radiate North Capitol street, East Capitol street, South Capitol street, and a line drawn west through the center of the Mall. The city is thus divided into four sections-Northeast, Southeast, Northwest and Southwest. The streets and avenues are designated N. E., S. E., N. W., and S. W., as they lie in the respective divisions. As most of the points of interest to visitors are included in the western divisions, all streets referred to are Northwest or Southwest, unless otherwise designated. NUMBERED STREETS run north and south, beginning with 1st street at the foot of Capitol Hill. STREETS run east and west beginning with B street at the Mall. run northeast to southwest, and northwest to southeast. House Numbers run in progression of 100 numbers to a block. Thus 510 Pennsylvania avenue is between 5th and 6th streets; and 503 14th street is between E (the fifth letter) and F streets.

LETTERED
AVENUES

Pennsylvania Avenue is the central avenue for the purposes of the visitor; it connects the Capitol, Treasury, White House, and State Department. Other public buildings are but a square or two away.

The City Post Office, adjacent to the Union Station, is a $3,000,000 structure of white marble. The inscriptions above the entrance run: "Carrier of news and knowledge. Instrument of trade and industry. Promoter of mutual acquaintance, of peace and good-will among men and nations. Messenger of sympathy and love. Servant of parted friends. Consoler of the lonely. Bond of the scattered family. Enlarger of common life. The District of Columbia comprises an area of 69.245 square miles. The Government consists of two civilian Commissioners, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and one Army engineer officer, detailed by the Secretary of War, the three constituting a Board of Commissioners for three years. Residents have no vote.
