4 THE ELIMINATION OF THE AVENUE.
sCitileas below Oh street do not view with
JaVo- the Plan OF the committee on illumina-
film 10 eonfiac the illumination to that Sec
ton of the avenue living between
7th street and 18th street. They take
the position that they contributed toward
the citizens fund with the understanding that
tie avenue should be illuminated from the
Treasury IN the Capitol They object to the
change OF plan. Dr. D. T.. Kicking
and other citizens doing business in
the section of the city below 1tn street
called on Chairman Edson today and made
vigorC IL protest. NJ. Edison told them that
he would like TO have the limits Of the iiunina-
ton Sreatly enlarged The executive committee.
however, acquiescing with the recommendations
made by the committee on illumination, agreed
TO the present limits for two reasons. First.
the electric current would be weakened by at
tempting to illuminate in the proposed lavish
style an extended area and tine effect
of the whole would be married. Second. TO sub
stitute sas illumination for electric lighting for
the section OF the avenue beyC nd the proposed
limits would make 1t necessary that the pave
ments be torn up and extra gas mains
be laid down. 1t would be impossible
to complete this work in time. The
executive committee convinced that the
brilliaacy of the entire display depended on
keeping the area within the proposed limits.
and a. there il no other method OF Illumination
II will be impossible 10 change ihe present plan
and gD beyond the limits named. IL il natural
H. u.
TO be as extensive possible and il is claimed
by the committee that this l. exactly
what Is going to be done The
White House and the department buildings
about il were included within the limits for the
reason they could be effectively lighted up.
Special care will be taken 80 have
the illumination about the White House elnb-
orate and brilliant. The shrubbery will be
filed with colored electric lights, which
will appear and then disappear. Special de-
signs. worked out with electric lights, will
adorn the avenue at intervals and powerful
search lights will show the outlines OF eli the
public buildings.
HE WAS FROM MAINE.
Last evening I. man came into the building
ut the corner Of Peun,ylvan avenue and 9Th
street. occupied b. the committee on accom-
mOds;ions. and inquired fo= free quarters

found that such post had made
Applications for quarters. AMI in Consequence

was told that there we're free quarters f1r

This he proceeded 20 do by unfolding his
