At times the great conven- tion hall has almost shaken when some noted speaker has hit some popular chord in his immense au- dience, and many of the speakers have been obliged to arize and bow once, and even twice, after taking their seats.

The purpose of the proposed council would be to advise the Com- missioners on all important municipaj problems. Text of Letter.

The literature on snow removal | has been studied, reports have been | secured from other cities relative to | methods used and expenditures made, and very thoroughly worked-up plan has been prepared for snow re- moval here. This report will be avail- able for consideration by your dele- gates, but the inclusion of maps, volu- minous statistics and other material makes it impracticable to distribute any copies ““The committee has formulated a plan which would require the submis- sion of a deficiency estimate of $358.- 000 for snow removal, $233,000 to spent for equipment and § 000 to be expended for labor if needed As this is not an industrial city, where | & 1abor force may be largely aug- | mented readily, the proposed expendi- ture for equipment is relatively large | With this expenditure the main trav- eled streets could be kept open by plows at all times, and the more con- gested area of the city (about one- fourth of our 400 miles of streets) could be eleared of snow within one wesk after a snowfall of six inches. “You appreciate, of course, that with the lump-sum provision this ad- ditional expenditure proposed would come wholly from the taxpayvers of the District. Many Northern cities | spend greater amounts than proposed here, but there the snow would lie on the streets for longer periods nd perhaps until Spring were it not re- moved. Here most snows melt aw within less than one week’s time, and your attention is called to the fact that even with the expenditure pro- posed, the removal of & six-inch snow from one-fourth of the streets area would take one week. “Copies of this letter are Suter, Bell furnished zations. Please let me have a ‘ves' or no’ vote on the proposed submission of a $358,000 deficiency estimate as soon as practicable.” Col. Bell also wrote to the trade hodies, seeking their views on the pro- priety of asking for the proposed snow deficiency appropriation. FATE OF TROLLEY LINE IN BALANCE THIS WEEK (Continued from First Page.) peal may be taken from the decision |of the corporation commission and an _ injunction asked, but rather Iooked with disfavor on such a move as one which would probably bring about adverse public sentiment. Gardner L. Boothe, attorney for the company in Alsxandria, said today the company would not appeal the decision of the commlssion. “I believe ghere are ample grounds |tor an appeal from the decision of the commission and were one taken I teel confident that the Supreme Court of Appeals would reverse that decision,” Mr. Boothe added. “How- ever, it is not the desire of the Wash- ington-Virginia Rallway Co. to un- necessarily prolong this controversy. The sooner the entire question is permanently settled, the better for all concerned. In view of t*'a situa- tion, 1 do not think an appc... will be taken.” Commenting on the possibility of holders of the mortgages on the prop- erty of the company foreclosing, Mr. Boothe said, he did not anticipate such actfon at this time. “If such ac- tion 1s taken at all, it will only be when the property of the company can be sold to the best advantage. That time ix not the present.” The Washington-Virginia company, according to Mr. Reynolds, gives very cheap_transportation service over all its lines, the average fare to Alexan- dria, » distance of more than seven miles, being 12.4 cents, although the cash fare one-way rate is 24 cents.

With “The Unsearchable Rich Christ” as his topic, he said that great unities of the age are one world, one gospel, one kingdom and one imperative duty, and the great forces with which to win the world for Christ are unity, prayer and con- secration.” Dr. John R.
