PRESIDENT PARKER REVIEWS IN HIS ANNUAL ADDRESS THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE BOARD—PROPOSED CELEBRATION OF THE CEN- TENNIAL OF WASHINGTON CITY. One of the assembly rooms of the Arlington Hotel was filled last evening with well-known Washington business men. It was the annual meeting of the board of trade. Among those present were Samuel E. Wheatley, W. S. Roose, E. Kartz Johnson, Mrron M. Parker, A. T. Britton, W. D. Cabell, Theo. W. Noyes, Jas. T. DuBois, Geo. Truesdell, W. C. Dodge, D. J. McCarthy, John Lynch, Isidor Saks, S. W. Woodward, B. H. Warner, H. C. Spencer, Levi Woodbury, George Gibson, James Lans- burgh, KE. T. Cropley, H. A. Griswold, W. B. Moses, Beriah Wilkins, E. F. Droop, L. A. Littletield, Robert T. Hieston, J. Harrison Jobnson, W. P. Van Wickle, M. J. Wine, F. L. Moore, C. C. Duncanson, Martin F. Morris, Francis K. Fava, jr., J. VN. Huyck, Thos. W. Smith, Simon Wolf. John B. Wight, Dr. M. D. Yeck. When the board met Mr. Parker. as president of the board, presented his annual report, He said: PRESIDENT PARKER'S REPORT. To the Members of the Board of Trade: In compliance with the requirements of our by- laws I have the honor to submit for your in- formation my first annual report as president of the Washington board of trade, The necessity for an organization of this character at the national capital has been mani- fest for many years. From time to time efforts have been made to accomplish this purpose, none of which seemed to successfully mate- rialize until one year ago, when, throvgh the efforts of a number of our leading business men, the present organization was effected. ‘The relations we occupy to the general goveru- Ment are peculiar and widely different from those of other Jeading cities. Being governed by a board of Commissioners appointed by the President without the usual form of municipal government and without representation in Congress, the necessity for an erganization like our board of trade, representing without favor or prejudice all sections and interests of our city, was manifest to all. It was the com- mon remark in both houses of Congress ti there was no general organization in Washing ton representing in a public, impartial. unsec- tional way the necessity and wislies of the com- made a very exhaustive report, submitting sta- tistics and correspondence relative to the neces- sity for deepening the channel of the Potomac river. This committee also urged the neces- sity of te appropriation for the con- tinuation of the work ingthe reclamation of the Potomac flats. During the same month our board disap- proved of a bill introduced into Congress to do away with deeds of trust, substituting there- for mortgages, under the provisions of which abont two years would be consumed in a fore- closure. Tt was believed that an act of this kind would have a tendency to not only pre- vent foreign capital from coming to Wash- ington, but that it would drive away a large amount already here, and that, in addition to this, it would raise the rate of interest at least 1 percent. Our present forms of deeds of trust, which have been in operation many years, have proved themselves to be entirely Satisfactory, and it is not believed that there exists on record asingle case where, through their operation, a hardship has been worked. At the suggestion of the House District com- mittee the committee on streets and avenues prepared a most comprehensive bill for the extension of strects aud avenues, This Dill was considered before a full meeting of the House committee and was found so satisfactory that it was accepted as a substitute for one already introduced in the House. The same bill was also introduced in the Senate, ‘This bill was carefully considered in all its detai not only by the committee, but by their attor- ney, Mr. A. 8. Worthington, who has had wide experience in condemnation proceedings in connection with the new library. Every effort was made to push this bill through Congress, but many other matters materially affecting the District were regarded of more importance. and it therefore failed of passage. It is believed, however, that with | proper effort it can be passed at tho next ses- | sion of Congress. It is an undisputed fact that there 18 now no measure before Congress affect- ing the interest of our District which is of as much importance as the bill for the extension of streets and avenues. ‘The rim of Washing- ton has been knocked off, and already very fine residences have been erected outside the city iimits. Many of the subdivisions adjacent to Washington are irregular and in few instances the streets and avenues conform to the general plan of our city. The ground is rapidly in- creasing in value, and steps should be taken at the earliest moment to carry out the great plan conceived and inaugurated by the projectors and founders of our city. Under the provisions of this bill, as fast as the necessity of the caso would require, our streets and avenues, under the direction of the District Commissioners, would be extended to the District line. ‘the committee on public buildings took an early and decisive action respecting the neces- sity for a new city post office building. On this subject they made an exhaustive report, which | was submitted to Congress, recommending at | the earliest possible date a suitable building for that purpose. With much wisdom the com- mittee made no recommendation respecting the site on which it should be erected, prefer- ring to leave that to Congress or to a commis- sion to be appointed by Congress. It was only munity. It is a well-known fact that local measures af- fecting our interests have from time to time been antagonized by various local organizations situated in different sections of the city by rea- son of which much needed iegislation has been delayed aud defeated. It has been a common remark in Congress that sectional prejud. and opposition have often defeated needed legis- Jation. Lhe board of trade was organized in the hope that these differences m: be overcome and that through concerted action by a representa- tive body we might exert a wide influenco with Congress, and thus omplish greater aw more satisfactory results, ‘Ibat this expecta- tion has been realized is fully established by the events of the year. ince the organization of the board of trade it has interested itself in much legislation that has been of great and lasting benefit to our city. It approved and materially aided in the ex- tension of the Eckington railroad, Senator Harris ‘ing from t floor of the Senate that it needed no further or better recom- mendation than that of a body like the board of trade. The extension of this road along G street to 15th street has already converted resi- deuce property into business property, and, when compicted, will open an important avenue of communication from the great busi- ness center to ths extreme northeastern sec- tion of the city, conuecting with the new Catholic University and Soldiers’ Home. It also aided in the passage of the George- town and Teuleytown electric road, which is now in successful operation, thereby placing us im immediate communication with the great northwestern section of our city. THE RAILROAD QUESTION. So much has been said during the year af- fecting the stexm railroads of the city that a detailed statement wonld seem appropriate, In January information was obtained th..; the Baltimore and Potomac railroad bving under indictment for side trac cs, illegally laid, which traversed and cccup':1' without authority ity. property of the United States. proposed to apply to Congress for legislation legahzing | these tracks, and giving it in addition power to condemn for its uses property adjacent to its tracks in South Washington. ‘There was strong opposition in South Wash- ington to au unlimited power of condemnation, and a general desire in ali sections of the city similar to that which prevails in most of the large cities of the republic for relief as far as possible from surface tracks and grade crossings. The officers of the board of trade and the ratl- road and transportation committees hoped that some agreement could be reached with this great corporation by which its own interests and the wishes of the public could be at the same time met, and a conference was secured for that purpose. Vice President Thompson of the road met the railroad and transportation com- mittees on January 9 and contirmed the report that the road intended to ask for the legula- tion already outlined. But ne declined to as- sent to a geographical limitation of the power of condemnation to the space east of 3d street and south of the tracks. as asked by the com- Mittees, and refused to consider at all the sub- jectof grade crossings, pleading lack of au- thority. Another conference was suggested, and still later, by resolution of the directors, a conference was invited, but no further formal Meetings with the officera of the road were se- cured. the board's repeated efforts to come to an amicable agreement with the corporation completely faihug. ‘The first formal action of the board consisted im the adoption of a resolution deciaring it to | be the board's policy to urge the requirement that steam railroads hereafter coming into the city should enter above or below grade, and that all existing surface tracks should be sunk below or raised above the grade wherever racticable. Meanwhile the railroad committee ad considered various steam railroad bills re- ferred to it by the board, including the one prepared by the Pennsylvania railroad (HI 8243. introduced by Representative Atkinson). aad on March 19 it made a written report con cerning them, which was unanimously approved by the to bard of trade at a meeting of not less thay 200 members, and a resolution was unani- mously adopted at this meeting authorizing and directing the officers of the board and the members of the railroad committee to appear | before the Comm: opers and the District committees of Congress and urge the recom- Meudation made in the report. In brief, #9 far as it related to the Pennsyl- j ithe report condemned the At- | bill as an mdependent proposition, ree- I that the proper power to coudemn } be Limited to squares s upon the tracks. | south of them and east of 3d street west, and that whatever else might fail to be accom- plished the obstruction and danger of the beit of surface tracks shout: removed. Yo this eud the sinxing and bridging of a designated portion of the present tracks were recom- mended, with either a passenger station at the intersection of Maryland and Virginia avenues, | OF af af its present sito with the tracks ap- | proachiug it removed from 6th street and com- pletely covered from view on the mail. The railroad committee appeared as directed Letore the Commissioners, the House commit- tee aud 4 subcommittee of the Senate commit- tee. The Atkinson bill has been amended in the House by the inxertion of the geographical limitation upon the power of condemnation, in substantially the terms requested by the | board committee from Vice President Thomp- son and refused by him. The House voted at one time practically in favor of removing the Station from the mall, but afte: ‘d reconsid- ered and reversed ite action. It has adopted, however, an amendment providing for a com. tuission to consider and report upon location of tracks, station, &c., and through its provis- ion some remedy for the grade crossings may powstbly be obtained. The bill is stili pending in the House. Public support of the principles advocated by the board of trade ia dealing with the rail- roads is indicated by the siguing of a petition to Congress substantially setting forth these ‘believed by th the necessity of such a buiiding that was urged by this committee. In addition to this report the individual members of the committee and of the board of trade used their personal in- fluence with various members of Congress and itis believed that the happy result attained was attributable largely to these efforts, THE ROCK CREEK PARK. The bill for the creation of the Rock Cre: Park was urgently recommended by the com- mittee on parks and reservations and kad tho full indorsement of tho board of trade. No| measure has passed Congress during the last | twenty years that was of as much importance to | the District of Columbia as the passage of this | bill, The beneficial results that are sure to follow are far reaching, and will be more appreciated a hundred years from now than at the present day, Ido uot intend to convey the idea that the board of trade alone secured the passage of this great measure. I simply want to put on record that as an organization it used all its influence and bent every energy to accomplish result. I take a pardonublo pride, how- ever. in referring to the fact that it was at the residence of Mr. C. C. Glover, an honored | member of our executive committee, that the first meeting having for its object « national park for our city was Leld. The record of that meeting will also show that the gentlemen who were invited to be present, with one or two exceptions, were or are members of the board | of trade. | It also assisted in the passage of an act es- tablishing a Zoological Park, not on a basis, however, that half the exyense in connection therewith should be borne by the District, but tnat ail the expense should be borne by the general government, where it properly be- longed. It is yet hoped that Congress will so far modify its action as to assume a liability that wholly belongs to itseif and which should never have in apy particilar been apportioned to the District, It is gratifying to note that it was the board of trade that took the initiative in celebrating the centennial of the city of Washington, Many months ago at a meeting of the board this question was considered and referred to the executive committee to formulate some plan. Since this time several mectings of the committee have been held, and it is expected | that a full report in connection therewith will | be submitted during the evening. The celebration of the centennial of our ex- istence will be an eveut of no ordinary import- ance, ‘The ceremonies incident to this occa- sion should be national in character and should be participated in by every state and territory inthe Union. It must be remembered that Washington is not only our home, but the “na- tion's Lome.” It was through the efforts of the board of trade that the superintendent of the census directed that the population of the District of Columbia should be regarded as of the city of Washington. By this ruling no distinction ia made between the cities of Washington. Georgetown and the District, All are em- braced in one, which makes us compare favor- ably with other leading cities in the Union. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE. During the year we have had a large amount of correspondence with various boards of trade throughout the country in the promotion of the idea that the national board of trade should have a permanent headquarters and that its location should be in the city of Wash- ington. It is gratifying to note that most of the replies received in response thereto have been favorable to the idea, and it is believed that atthe annual meeting of the national board of trade, to be held in New Orleans in December next, the subject will receive favor- able consideration of that body. By this acta great commercial factor of our country will have its headqnarters in our city. During the year the board has been called upon several times by the District Commis- sioners and leading citizens to aid in the enter- tainment of individuals coming to Washington in a conventionai capacity. The Commission- ers have asked for this assistance on the ground | that there were not funds at their disposal that could be diverted for this purpose, and that since these gatherings had for one of their objects the betterment of Washington, it was em that the board of trade, representing its citizens, could with propriety expend money for that purpose, With a single exception, however, these re- | quests have not been complied with. In the | case of the convention for charities and cor- rections which met in Baltimore our board as- sisted in the entertainment of them while they were in this city. The members of this con- ention were iniluential peopie of the respective Staies and territories, and it is believed that their entertainment was proper and right. The board of trade, however, was not organ- ized for the purpose of resolving itself into a committee ou national or international enter- tainment, aud it is believed that unless the case should prove an exceptional one nothing further iu this direction shonid be done, I be- Lieve, however, that the board of trade should induce by every honest means all conventions every character, whether they be national or international, to meet in Washington, During the last two years over forty of these conventions have been held here. Through this means thousands of people have visited our city who otherwise might have never had the peter Of course every one who visits Washington is most favorably impressed. It is easy, therefore, to sum up the g results that are sure to follow. WASHINGTON'S COMMERCIAL INTERESTS. From purely a commercial! standpoint, we do not compete with somo of the loading cities, and yet our volume of trade is much greater than is appreciated. In the last ten years it is estimated that there has been an increase of 500 per cent in the dry goods line. The same may be said of farnishings and furniture. Large and commodious buildings have been and are constantly being erected for the neces- sity and convenience of trade. So marked has | been the development in this direction that our citizens now realize that all their orders can be more satisfactorily filled bere at home principles by 13,000 representative people of the District. Iti hoped that the city may se- cure, in the near future, au enlargement, within the specified limits, of the inadequate freight facilities of the city andat the same time obtain some measure of decreaso in the disfigurement of the public rescrvations by surface tracks and some relief for the peoplo of two sections of the city from the inconven- dence, ry damage and physical danger of gr crossings, putting the capital upona level in this respect with European cities, OTHER WORK BEFORE CoxoREss. ‘The committee on rivers and peared before s committee of the ad harbors Senate and than ia Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York.

A report was submitted from the treasurer, Mr. B. H. Warner, stating that the receipts for the year were $8,015; disbursements, $3,868.68; balance on hand, €4,186.34. On Mr. Warner's motion it was ordered that 3,000 copies of the president's report be printed. Mr. Warner stated that it contained so much valuable information that a copy of it should be put into the hands of every member of Congress, who would thereby see that the ——s took cognizance of what Congress fs loing. Mr. Anderson, the secretary of the board, presented a report he had prepated in refer- ence to the pro} d District centennial cele- bration in April, 1891, prefacing it with the re- mark that the report was made morp as a sug- gestion, as there seemed to be a general desire that the event should be commemorated, Mr, Anderson's report was as follows: SECRETARY ANDERSON’S SUGGESTIONS, Mr. President and gentleme: In submitting for your consideration the out- lines of a plan for the celebration of the coming centenary, on the 15th of next April, I have en- deavored to keep in mind the distinction be- tween the city of Washington, in its local as- pect, and the national capital, located at Wash- ington. In other words we are to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of what may be termed the city of the nation aud of the states—the national capital of 62,000,000 people. 1t is an event in which not only the forty-seven states and territories of thiscountry are inter- ested, but the nineteen sister republics of the western hemisphere and the other nations of the world, for the cupital of the foremost Amer- ican nation a8, in itself, the high water mark of modern and progressive civilization, The city bears the honored name of ‘the father of his country” and is located in a district named for the illustrious discoverer of the new world. Its centenary should, then, be celebrated in a manner worthy of the dignity of its two patron saints. There is no better way to do this than by opening the second century of its existence by the inauguration of s grand system of public improvements, CEREMONIES PROPOSED. I therefore respectfully suggest for the con- sideration of the citizens’ committee to bo chosen to formulate and perfect a plan the following ceremonies, part of which are de- pendent upon legisiation and part of which are not: ‘The laying, with appropriate ceremonies, of the corner stone of the extension of the Execu- tive Mansion as proposed by Mra, President Harrison. There shouid be no doubt about an appropriation for this purpose during the com- ing session of Congress, for. during the year 1893, several of the presidents of American ra- publics, th@reigning sovereigns of other na- tions and other distinguished guests of the nation will doubtless visit Washington on their way to the world’s Columbian exposition,and it would not only be humiliating, but a national disgrace, to bave no Executive Mansion ade- quate for their entertainment. ‘the laying of the corner stone of a new building for the Catholic National University. of tiberal ‘sd eee, j As L understand the situation the new institu- tion, as projected, will ultimately cost at least $10,000,000, and I take it for granted the many friends of that movement will be glad to come here next April in large numbers from all parts of the world to take part in this cere- ing of a corner stone for the new Na- rsity recently projected and lo- cated here under the auspices of the Metho- dists of the United States, which institution will doubtless be on as graud « scale as the one first mentioned and will probably cost $10,009,~ 000 by the time of its completion. ‘This cere- mony should also be under the auspices of its projectors and friends from all parts of the world. Another ceremony, and a peculiarly appro- priate one for the occasion, would be the breaking of ground or laying of the corner stone for the proposed National University at Washington. under governmental auspices, as outlined in the bil! introduced last session by Senator Edmunds of Vermont. move- ment isin harmony with a favorite project of President Washingto:, who. in his will, pro- vided a nucleus for the endowment of such an institution to be located in the District of Co- lumbis. It is, however, doubtful whether the necessary legislation will be perfected in time for the coming centenary. THE LATIN-AMERICAN LIBRARY. Equally important and timely would be the laying of the corner stone for the proposed Latin-American library. The recent pan- American congress. which was in session last winter and spring, adopted, by a unani- mous vote, the following resolution: “Resolved. That there be established at such location m the City of Washington as the gov- ernment of the United States may designate, to commemorate the meeting of the international American conference, a Latin-American me- morial library, to be formed by contributions from all the governments represented in this conference, wherein shall be collected all the historical, ‘geographical and literary works, maps, manuscripts and official documents re- lating to the history and civilization of Amer- ica, such library to be soiemaly dedicated on the day on which the United States celebrates the fourth centennial of the discovery of Am ica.” A Lecoming national pride, and 1 may add national self-respect, requires prompt ac- tion in response to this very generous offer by the American sister republics, aud for this rea- son the necessary legislation will doubtless be perfected during the coming session in time to break ground or lay the corner stone for the building on the 15th of next April. Auother ceremony, and one pretty certain to be held, should be ‘the laying of the corner stone for a new building for the patent office. A bill providing for this was introduced last session and was favorably reported by the House committee. The coming centenary of American inventions’ to be celebrated here on the 15th of April, and to bo accompanied by the establishment here of a permanent society of American inventors, wile ate a public senti- ment whict: will doubtless insure an appropri- ation for the proposed building. The laying of the corner stone foranew building for the National Museum is a matter of the utmost importance, tor the reason that the present building is entirely inadequate for the accommodation of the valuable and cnor- mous collection of relics aud American antiqui- ties, which, for want of suitable space, remain unpacked in the store rooms. This necessity for additional space will soon be more impera- tive on account of the new exhibits which will naturally come here at the close of the coming word's exposition at Chicago. An appropria- tion for this building passed the Senate last session and will doubtless become a law before the 4th of next March. THE ROCK CREEK PARK. As you are all aware an appropriation of 1,200,000 was made last session for the estab- lishment here, along Rock creek, of a new national park. The boundaries of this park, to include some 2,000 acres, are now being estab- lished, and I can imagine nothing more aj propriate for the coming anniversary than the planting there of centennial trecs to be contrib- uted byeach state and territory and each American republic. ‘The ceremonies should be under the auspices respectively of the gov- ernor and staff of each state and territory and the minister resident at Washington from each American repubiic. As you are also well aware, the new Congres- sional Library, to cost several million dollars, is under construction and will be one of the great attractions of the national capital. Dur- dng the last seasion of Congress the cl of the House committee on commerce intro- duced a joint resolution relative to the laying of the corner stone of the same and Providing for suitable ceremonies in honor of that im- portant event. It is now too late to arrange such a celebration, as the corne! ne bas been laid, but in lieu of this ceremony I suggest the piscing of acentennial memorial tablet in the uilding on the 15th of next April, with appro- priate ceremonies. ‘Two other temas, buildings for this city were also provided for during lust session of Con- gress—the new city post office anda building for the government printing office. Suitable ceremonies should also be provided in connec- tion therewith, An appropriation was also recommended by the Senate committee to provide a site fora building for the United States Supreme Court. Itis hoped this 1 tion may be consum- muted in time to to the list of centennial ceremonies some demonstration in honor of the event, Acting under the authority of a recent act of Congress the War Department has submit- tedareport of a survey for the Mount Vernon avenue, to connect the national capital with the home and tomb of Washi n.

There are, however, ceremonies of a lighter nature which should be not overlooked, and among them are the following: D A grand military com of as many divisions of the United States army as can con- veniently be assembled here, and the National pray nthe hall of the pension build. in the hall o! - ing similar to that during the last inaugural ceremonies. A banquet in some public hall, to which the President andcabinct, the foreign ministers, the Justices of the Supreme Court, the Senate and House, the governors of the various states and territories and others should be invited. ‘As I have already remarked these are simply suggestions, which, of course, will have to be modified or enlarged if the citizens of Wash- ington decide to commemorate the coming event. They are thrown ont to stimulate dis- — and to test the sentiment of the Dis- jc Mr. Parker stated that the executive commit- tee at ite meeting yesterday considered this measure and reached aconclusion, which would find expression thraygh Mr. Britton. Mr. Lritton therefore offered a resolugion, which was carried, that the matter be referred to the District Commissioners with a recom- mendation that they take charge of it and ap- point all necessary committees. THE INVENTORS’ CENTENNIAL, Mr. Jas. T. DuBois of the Inventive Age, upon invitation, made astatement as to the pro- posed celebration in April next of the centen- nial of the first patent issued by the United States. He told how the movement originated through the journal with which he was connected, and had’ been discussed and approved by leading men. Mr. Anderson. he said, bad called on him and suggested that there should be an inaugu- ration of the second century of the American pat- ent system at the time the citizens of Washing- ton celebrated their centennial, He gave an account of the meeting held last Monday even- ing to further the movement, and invited the members of the board to attend the adjourned meeting tonight. A great many things, he said, might result from this cclebration, They might secure a new patent office or an increase of the facilities of the old one. It would reéuitin the cstab- lishment of a conrt of patent appeals, which was so greatly needed. They might get also here an exhibition of models of great interest. They would also have one of the most unique and important conventions of useful men that had ever assembled, and there would probably be formed u national association of inventors which would mcet here every year. Above all, he said, a fitting tribute would be paid to the men who have contributed so much to the progress of the age. These men were looking 40 tho board of trade for help. With such help he was satisfied the proposed centennial would become one of the great and memorable events of Washington, Mr. Parker spoke in approval of the project and urged the members of the board to attend the mecting tonight. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE. Mr. Anderson stated that for several months there had been a movement on foot to enlarge the national board of trade by including in it all of the 500 boards of trade in the country. It was proposed to establish the permanent headquarters of the board in this city. He moved the appointment of two delegates to represent this board at the meeting of the na- tional board of trade in New Oricans on the 8th of December. The motion was carried. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, A committee, composed of Mr. Geo. Gibson, Mr. W. B. Moses and Dr. M. D. Peck, was ap- Pointed to draw by lot the names of directors elected last year to serve, respectively, three years, two years and one year. “The result of the drawing was aynounced as follows: ‘Three years—Myron M. Parker, Crosby S. Noyes, Chas, Baum, Chas. C. Glover, Isaac N. Jackson, O. G. Staples, H. A. Willard, W. B. Moses, Alex. D. Anderson, Theo. J. Mayer. ‘Two years—Brainard H. Warner, Jas, L. Bar- dour, A. ‘I. Britton, Thos, Somerville, 8. E. Wheatley, Samuel Ross, J. L. Moore, J. M. Wilson, C. J. Bell, Wm. A. Wimsatt. One year—Beriah Wilkins, 8. W. Woodward, Geo, Mellhenny, E. Kurtz Johnson, John H. Magruder, C. B. Church, Geo. Truesdell, J. E. Herrell. (T. W. Smith), I. Sake, Frank Hume. The terms of the directors drawn for one year expired last night. They were all unani- mously re-elected except Mr. John E. Herrell, who, the president stated, did not care for re- election. Mr. ‘Thom: . Smith was chosen to serve in his place, and appointed chairman of the committee on membership. DELEGATES TO NEW ORLEANS, Messrs, 8. W. Woodward and Myron M. Par- ker were elected delegates to the meeting of the national board of trade in New Orleans, Mr. Warner was nominated, but declined. A call of committees was made at the sugges- tion of Mr. T. W. Smith for the purpose of re- ceiving suggestions from members as to busi- ness to be considered by these committees, A MERCHANT'S COMPLAINT. Mr. I. Saks, from the committee on com- merce, called attention to the necessity of some action concerning people who come here to set up business for @ day or two—people who, he said, would be required in other cities to pay well for the privilege. This, he said, was a matter affecting every business except lumber and real estate. They take away, he said, thousands of dollars and do not give one cent to the District except their board bills. He knew cities where such dealers were charged as much as $500, $100 or #50 aday. ‘here was no. city in America where so much business of that kind was done as here, Mr. Parker suggested that if the committee oncommerce held a meeting and considered the matter the board might secure some legis- lation that would be beneficial. Mr. Truesdell, chairman of the committee on streets and avenues, said it was well known that the District was embarrassed for want of means for needed improvements, ‘There was one way that occurred to him of largely increasing tho revenue of the city; that was to tax abutting property for a portion of the improvements. The property was much enhanced in value by such improvements, He referred to the system of assessments in vogue under the board of public works, He did not think that there was another city in the Union where the entire cost was paid out of the gen- eral fund, as it is done here now, He suggested that the board of trade recom- mend to Congress such a system of asscss- ments. Unless such a measure was adopted, he said, the streets would have tobe neglected. AN EASTERN BRANCH PARK. Mr. Smith said, when the committee on river and harbors was called, that he would like to see some improvements on the Eastern branch. Ho suggested that the branch be cared for by being dredged and kept within bounds.
