The board also approved the measure. | introduced by Representative Bowman of West Virginia, authorizing an nppra-[ priation not to exceed $1.000,000 for the purchase of the Washington Audito- Tium and its conversion into an armory. | Stephan Urges Armory. ] Speaking for the armory project, Maj. | Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the association, who is commandant of the District militia, declared the Audito- rium, with some remodeling, would | make a suitable armory, and in addition | could be used as a city auditorium when not used by the Guard. | In urging the need of a new center | . market, R. P. Andrews declared that the great volume of business conducted ! at Center Market indicated the public | necessity for a new center, and sug- | gested that the project could be financed | 50 that rentals for space in the market | would pay for its cost and maintenance over a period of years. | The board also adopted a resolution | expressing gratification over the recent | exoneration of Inspector William S. Shelby and Lieut. Edward J. Kelly of the Police Department in their trials on charges of inefficiency, preferred by the | July grand jury. Confidence also was| voted in the officials of the Police De- | partment and its rank and file. The new campaign of the Community | Chest was indorsed, and the associa- tion pledged its support in the work for the budget for the second year’s| operation. Gratification was voiced past year. The organizdtion indorsed the pro-| jected Cherry Blossom Festival, to be held in the Spring under the sponsor- ship of the Chamber of Commerce, and a committee was authorized to co-oper- ate with the chamber in the fete. Urge Industrial Expansion. | President Stephan was authorized to| appoint a committee to study means of promoting expansion of industrial ac- tivities in Greater Washington. Speak- ers declared that industry here must be expanded to provide adequate em- ployment for the younger generations. ‘Washington needs additional “light” clared, and there are extensive areas here where such plants might be erected without blighting the beauty of Wash- on. Gen. Stephan in an annual report to the board suggested that the associa- tion study establishment of a statistical | department, through which a monthly report on business conditions might be | compiled; a co-operative store delivery system; formulation of plans to reduce | merchandising returns and continued study of transportation and tax matters. Edward D. Shaw, executive secretary, | in his annual report reviewed activi- | ties of the association in the past year, | pointing out that several had won wide | Tecognition. Among these, he said, were | the establishment of a furnace vacuum | cleaning service for the public on a co- operative basis among coal merchants, this plan being first established here | and later adopted in several other ducted by the coal division; the shop- early, mail-early campaign; operation of the milk bottle exchange, and work on the development of trade practices by ice cream manufacturers here in conference with the Federal Trade Commission. Secretary Shaw was delegated to ad- dress the convention next month of the National Association of Retail Secre- taries in New York as the representa- tive of the local trade group. NEW EFFORT IS MADE TO PAY OLD U. S. BILL Measure Would Give $507 to Court Bailiff of 33 Years Ago. By the Associated Press. Representative Eaton introduced a bill | yesterday to authorize the payment of $507 to James E. Van Horne of Trenton, now secretary of the Republican State committee, for services rendered 33 years ago as balliff of the United States District Court. The bill has passed the Senate three times only to meet with rejection by the | committee on claims of the House. | The report on the bill stated that Van | Horne attended court every day during | 1896 under order of Judge Andrew Kirk- | patrick, but that the Government ruled he was entitled to pay only for days during which court was in session. sPEGGY UDELL FILES SUIT.
