HAS MODERN PARALLEL District Should Get $5,000,000 Now Available, Oldest Inhabitants Are Informed. Congress nearly thirty years ago recognized the right of the District which accumulate in the Treasury, Dr. William Tindall, authority on the history of Washington, told the As- their meeting in Union Engine House last night. Dr. Tindall's recollection has a par- ticular significance «* this time, since a joint committee of the Senate and House Is soon to decide whether the five-million-dollar surplus now In the Treasury belongs to the local government. Here is the veteran city official's story of how the precedent was established: “About 1882 the United States easury, under authority of Con-| ess, advanced the money needed to { construct the Lydecker tunmel, which carries the city’s water supply from | the conduit at Georgetown to the fil- tration plant. “The amount advanced was to have been repaid with 3 per cent interest in twenty-five annual installments en- tirely out of water rents. “In 1894 thirteen of the installments had been met out of water rents, when Congress ordered that the bal- ance of $735,364.73 should be paid out of surplus District revenues which at that time had accumulated.” Retrocession of Alexandria. John Clagett Proctor started | another interesting discussion when | he read a paper on the reasons why | the town and county of Alexandria | retroceded tu the state of Virginia in | 1846, Mr. Procter attributed the retro- | ceseion to the meager financial as- nce which the National Capital | { ed at that time from the fed-: |eral government. i Matthew Trimble questioned the legality of the action of Congress in | {enacting the law which permitted | Alexandria to return to Virginia. He {voiced the hope that some day the | boundary of the District of Columbia | would be extended to its original| limits. Mr. Trimble contended that if the | Congress of 1346 kad the right to| release that part of the District| which came from Virginia any fu-! ture legislative body could restore the | remainder of the city to Maryland | and there would be no National Cap- | ital. i i James F. Duhamel suggested to; | i ting President Henry L. Bryan! that the headquarters of the assocla- tion, which is filled with hundreds of | reli¢s and records of old Washington, {be thrown open for inspection by the | general public for a week this fall or } winter. Mr. Bryan commended the suggestion and said it would be con- | sidered later. | Joseph 1. Keefer presented to the| association part of the bannister of | Clean Drinking Manor, an old resi-| ! dence in Chevy Chase, Md., where, it} is sald, George Washington spent the Inight following the Indlan battle in | which Gen. Braddock was killed. | Martin Wiegand and Edward M. | Shicley were elected to membership. | The paper presented by Mr. Proctor { on the retrocession of Alexandria read, ! in part, as follows: “For a third of a century of the first years of the District the only | federal money spent In Alexandria !was for the erection of a jail in con- Inection with the court, which was! {federal as well as local, while during that same period not a dollar had | been spent in Georgetown, and. it is} . the only benefit Washington re- ed was from the money expended upon public buildings which was |usually spent here, and from such {other money as was received by resi- idents for salaries and the like, and the use of the few improved streets made so by Congress strictly for its own use and benefit. Bullding of Aqueduct Bridge. “With Alexandria, the breaking point came in 1846, after it had be- come completely snowed under with ldebt, due to its investments in the Alexandria portion of the Chesapeake and Ohlo canal. This was, in part, {due to an error in estimating for the | erection the Aqueduct bridge, | which was originally to have bee | constructed of wooden piers at a cost {of $300,000, the change to masonry adding $950.000 more. {"“It is said that Congress encour- | aged this grand scheme which was to pour the golden results of the west- {ern trade into District coffers, but | which was not completed, so far as ! Alexandria was concerned, for twelve years and after much difficult en- T, | gineering work, not paralled iil this country, and, up to that time prob- ably not equaled in any other. The piers were set on bare rock and were | of solid masonry, formed of blocks of very large stones from the Falls quar- ries, laid in water cement. | “It may be Interesting to note that | these piers were constructed by the | building_of vast cofferdams, about eighty feet long and nearly thirty [feet wide, shutting out a depth of water of about eighteen feet. Below this was more than seventeen feef | of mud, so that the construction was | begun at a depth of thirty-seven feet below the surface of the water. So jcareful were the preparations that | the rocky bottom was id bare the whole extent of the area inclosed, and even swept clean and dry with brooms. “The Alexandria portion of the | canal was completed in December, 11543, but owhg to work being | stopped. on the canal near Cumber- land, the money invested by Alexan- | dria’ was unproductive, and as Con- { gress had already contributed to the | enterprise, and as no assistance could | be looked for from that source, ald | was sought from the legislature of | Virginia, and there Alexandria met {with a warm welcome, resulting in jan appeal to that state for its read- This Virginia agreed to, | mission. . {and Congress passed a law restoring Alegandria county to Virginia. The population of Alexandria in 1840 was 8,459, and the vote on retrocession was 763 for and 222 against. And so you see, if the federal government had treated Alexandria with a little bit more of liberality and justice, there never would have been any re- trocession of that county to Virginia.” —_— FIND SILVER DEPOSITS.
