TRIBUTE TO LEE CAMP.

Some weeks ago the mem bers of the Citizens
Executive Committee of the National Encamp-
ment of the Grind Army of the Republic met
at the home Of its Chairman, John Joy Edison,
to present TO him the evidence of their sppre-
citation of his management of the details of the
late Encampment in Washington, at which
time il was not thought that the duties of the
committee would be completed until they had
in some manner given substantial expression TO
the many acts of kindness shown by Lee Camp,
OF Richmond, Va, toward the thousands Of
Grand Army veterans and their friends that
passed through their city during the EResmp-
ment week. After statement by Corporal
Tanner it was unanimously agreed that Chair
man Edison should appoint special COMMITTEES
TO make such arrangements "a mi ght be deemed
proper in carrying ont the idea Chairman Ed
son designated as such committee Messrs.
Douglass, Tanner. Hatton, Noyes. Spear, Parke.
Saks, Boynton, Hay. and Dingman. At re-
cent meeting of this committee it was deter
mined that the most desirable and satisfactory
testimonial would be to completely furnish
ward in the Lee Camp Soldiers Home. This
program is 10 be carried out.

1T WOULD COST MILLIONS,

Engineer Commissioner Rossell of the Dis.
triet of Columbia. has submitted his report to
the Senate on what il would cost TO converts
Rock Creek into a covered sewer and fill in be-
tween the banks. Capt. Rossell estimates ths
cost OF the work at $40 000, 900. In concluding
his report Capt. ROssell says:
As a means of e sewage disposal il would
be wrong in principle and enormously expen-
sive- But until works for the proper disposal
of the sewage can be built Rock Creek must
carry sewage Il is greatly 10 be hoped thas
this time may be short. To reduce the unsan-
itary conditions promptly the canal company
should be required to open the gates at ths
mouth of the creek every night and the creek
should be flushed From q sanitary standpoins
/ can see no necessity for covering the creek al
all if the sewage is kept out. This improve
meBt. retaining large body of land between
WashiDgto and Georgetown and making them
one will increase the revenues of the Districts
of Columbia by the increased taxation, and will
add to the beauty of the city. The bridges
can also be omitted at K, N, and streets aud
