WERE SELLING THEM AT % HALF PRICE, Ballantyne’s, ‘BOOKSELLERS, 428 7th St. STATIONERS, It SUBURBAN SEWERS The Brightwood Citizens’ Association Discusses the Vital Question. A PLEA FOR THE PINEY BRANCH SEWER An Amendment to the Bond Bill to Be Asked For. TAXATION WITHOUT BENEFITS There was an interesting meeting of the ‘Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Association last aight in Felter’s Hall, at Brightwood, the principal object of the meeting being the discussion of the sewer bond bi Members of other citizens’ associations had been requested to attend, and the board of trade and Woodburn Association were rep- resented. Secretary Claude F. King read the minutes of the last meeting, and Pres- ident Cox spoke of the work done by the association before congressional commit- teas. Dr. Charles G. Stone, chairman of the committee on sanitation, was called upon for his committee's report, and he said the most important matter before the commit- tee-was the question of sewers. Members of the committee, he said, had called upon the Commissioners, and were fully satis- fied that the Commissioners are heartily in favor of doing all in their power toward getting Congress to pass the bond bill. He hoped this Congress would pass the meas- ure and said that the members of the as- scciation’s committee had worked earnest- ly for it. “But,” said Dr. Stone, “we are now con- fronted with this problem. It appears that the board of trade, which heretofore sup- ported this bond bill, had approved the re- port of its committee, which reported back the bill with the statement that the only thing feasible or likely to be obtained is what is known as the sewerage disposal bill, carrying only $3,500,000. This bill has been presented in both houses. It ignores the county entirely. Suburbanites Must Share the Expense. “I am not opposed to the bill, so far as the disposal of sewerage is concerned,” he contirued. “It is much needed, as a sani- tary measure, so far as the city is con- cerned, and will, in the course of time, ben- fit the people in the county. The present system is imperfect and certainly should be improved. What we are interested in is ‘that it affords us no relief, and at the same time settles upon us our share of the bonded indebtedness and is a great injus- tice to us. This association does not 4e- sire to attack the bill, but ft is its desire to have it so amended that it will guaran- tee to the people of the county the com- pletion of the Piney Branch sewer. Each year skows increased néed for this sewer. The population in the county north of the city is ircreasing and has increased more than in any other section during recent years, and we are compelled to have sew- erage of some description or face what we have faced every summer—typhoid fever. We have had the typhoid fever in the county, and there's no denying it, as the charts shown by the board of trade will show, and this has depreciated the value of our property. __ ; +s An Increased Death Rate Predicted. “With an increase in the population, an increase in the death rate is the natural result. We are dependent upon wells and springs for our drinking water, and have nothing but surface drainage, and the <<: | board of trade is aware that the only remedy is the construction of ers. “There is but one thing to do,” continued the doctor, “and that is to demand of the committee of the board of trade that if it don’t want us to antagonize it and defeat it if possible it must amerd the bill and put it in a shape to help us. We have been pay- ing our taxes and have got very little in return. Now, I think the committee of the board of trade should be willing to add an item of $1,000,000. The street extension met antagonism from the people as well as the courts, and there’s no hope to gain from that at this time; and so the additional sum might easily be obtained and the com+ pletion of the ‘Piney branch- sewer to the District line insured. This sewer wiil drain more than one-half of the first section, as shown on the map._ WII Not Affect Proposed Streets. “The construction of thts sewer along the line of Pineybraach-willenet interfere with any of the prpposed streets. There is noth- ing to obstruct the work or impede them in the constructién of the sewer. When this sewer is built-we won’t have the people complainirg that their stcck won't drink the water. The branch at present is virtu- ally a sewer, and always will be so long as there is nothing but surface drainage.” The doctor told of cases of typhoid fever along the line of the branch and of fecal matter from the houses in which the pa- tients were being turned into the branch. “Because of reports of typhoid fever,” he said, “people are afraid to come out here and build homes, and so long as-things con- tinue this way there is apt to be a cor- responding increase in the cases of sick- ness. And so I would advise that you do not assist to secure the passage of this bill un- less another million is added for relief of the country. We cannot allow these things for the sakc of the city. If we want petty things, such as a fire engine or a few po- licemen, we are ignored, and yet we are paying taxes all the time for the benefit of the city.” Continuing, Dr. Stone claimed that the citizens of the county were ignored by their friends in some of these matters, and he thought it would have been an easy mat- ter for the board of trade to have tacked on another million and relieved the county. “But self-preservation is the first law of nature,” sald the doctor in ‘his closing re- marks. “It is self-preservation with us, and I hope that a committee of this asso- elation and a committee of the board of POMEL COOoees | rade will unite in asking for this amend- BRADBURY PfANO WAREROOMS, 1225 Pa. ave, n.w. “Where can I get the best value for my old square?” is the usual question with most folks.

VAN WI aE —s eae of the Board of Trade. Mr. A. M. Reed, chairman of the com- mittee of the board of trade, on this ques- tion sssured the members the Bright- wood Agsociation that the board of trade feels exactly as Dr. Stone has expressed the sentiments of the Brightwood Associa- tion. The proposed sewerage system, he said, is intended to benefit the entire District, ond not enly the city of Washington, and the beard of trade is willing to assist the Brightwood or any other association in its efforts to get new sewers or any other improvements. Mr. Reed exhibited on a map the pro- pceeed rcutes of the trunk sewer to be built when Congress passes the sewer bond bill, and explained how the sewerage will be taken three miles below the city and emptied in the channel more than five hundred feet from the shore. The proposed sewer, he said, will relieve the Rock creek sewer to considerable extent, and_ will make some change for the better so far as the county is concerned. In Favor of the Large Loan. “The board of trade today,” he said, “is in favor of the $7,500,000 loan, and is on record as being in favor of it. But in ap- proaching this question this year the com- mittee was met by the decision of Judge Cox on the matter of street extensions. The Commissioners said that the county could not have the sewers until the streets are laid out, for the reason that they have not the right of way.” He toi the members of the Brightwood Association that if they would get permis- sion to put sewers on the land the board of trade will enter body and soul in the work, and do ali in its power to get the sewer either in the bond bill or in some — bill. aj. Powell asked for the right of Reed was asked by Mr. Fields. “I think not,” was hi: “Does ho want it?” is response. “Do you think the bond bill will affect MUNYON'S REMEDIES POSITIVELY CURE ALL DISEASES Hundreds of People in Washington Are Being Cured of Various Diseases by the Use of These Remedies, After Paying Large Doctor Bills and Getting No Relief--Sold by All Druggists, Mostly for 25 Cents a Vial.
