One proposition presented by Chairman W. A. E. Doying of the highway safe- ty committee is for the erection of buildings in alleys for parking pur- poses, doing away with all present alley dwellings. The buildings, as planned by a local engineer, it said, would have one story under- ground and four above, three of which, together with the basement would be uded for parkin fourth floor, it was said, would be used as apartments to house the ten- ants deprived of their houses threefold principle of this operat it was stated, would be to clear up the alley situation, provide more xuitable living quarters for possessed tenants and allow parking spaces for cars now left standing on busy streets all day while their own- ers arc in office.

A. held every day during the cam- paign in the District of Columbla to raise $45,000 was addressed yester- day by Isaac Gans, president of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Gans said that he hoped in the future that the local branch of the “Y” would be so generously endowed that solicitation would be unnegessary. “The Y. M. C. A. is the greatest tan- gible asset that can be had by any community,” said Mr. Gans. ‘“You are not asking favors when you ask a man or woman to subscribe to Its maintenance, as it does a blg com- munity service, and the community is_under obligations to the associa- tion.” presented by Home of the Worumbo Overcoat The Fashion Shop| Reduces to HUNDREDS OF OVERCOATS SUITS 2-Pant $100 and $125 Overcoats and the finest WORUMBOS $59.50 & $69.50 Alteratio No Charge Accounts Goods Laid Aside on Small Deposit I A few articles on account of agreement with manufacturers not in scle E SALE AT BOTH STORES The Tasn 9t}1 &?
