Barker in the chair. Judge George H. Arm
strong was made secretary pro tenn. The

as In an unfavorable condition The attention
Of the association was called to the fact that
the Anacostia Railroad Company was prepar-
ing to set a switch ON Nichols avenue between
Jefferson and Pleasant streets. The commit
tee on railroads. William J. Latimer, Charles
Barker and DR.. Grant, was directed TO protest
against the laying of the proposed switch. The
appropriation for paving Nichols avenue from
Maple avenue to Douglass Hall, with granite
blocks, Is sufficient only TO pave one side Of it,
and il was maintained that If the railroad COM

two feet outside its tracks the existing appro-
prlation would then cover the cost for paving
both sides of Nichols avenue.
