, at 2oO2 III street. 1t will be furnished
throughout and taken possession of by the
ioth OF the present month. While occupy

still better quarters, it being their desire
TO hnd house near Georgetown with
grounds suitable TO pleasure in The suc-

be little fastidious in this matter
1helr large contribution to the track fund

| motors OF that enterprise. solid founda-

City Consolidation.
The Georgetown people are somewhat Gu
rious TO know why such usually progressive
citizens as the presidents of the four title
companies have protested against the con-
solidation Of Georgetown with Washington.
1t has been explained to The Star that the
action of these gentlemen is occasioned by
| feared complications of their records, by
reason of the duplication of the squares in
the two places.
Georgetown thinks that smart LAWYERS
should be able to cope with situation of
this kind, should the change be made They
say that If Congress should pass law call
ing the two cities Georgetown that their
lawyers would be able to prevent any con-
fusion of records occasioned thereby Is
not TINS trivial reason, they say, for pre-
venting what is regarded as a progressive
movement?
