ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY. SEPIHMBER Is, 1876.

GIGANTIC Works We nottd somc days
ago, a, showing the enterprise Of the town,
the fact that it had, iu lis corporate capacity,
subscribed over Que aud half million OF dol
lars to works of internal improvement The
value of these subscriptions is not, however, TO
be estimated by this amouot alone. They were
but the seed fron which the immense works
grew,-the cause of other and vaster expendl-
lures for those works. The energy and deter.
mination of the town, and the willingness Of its
people to show their faith by their works, 10
making large subscriptions themselves before
asking others 20 help 10 the work., became the
source Of series Of magnificent works. We
name them:
