COMPLAIN OF THEIR ROADS.
An Appeal From the Citizens North
west Suburban Association.

west Suburban Association
delegation from the Citizens North
west Suburban Association, consisting of
Major George a. Armes and Messrs. c.
c. Lancaster and Robert j. Fleming. cali
ed upon the District Commissioners yes
terday afternoon and presented a petition
on behalf of the association, asking that
Connecticut Avenue. Wisconsin Avenue
Woodley Road, Pierce Mil Road. and
Grant Road, all west of Rock Creek Park
be surfaced with gravel, as the present
condition of the road is, in the opinion of
the association, dangerous to pedestrians
and vehicles. The petition reads as fol-
lows:
ION behalf of the Citizens Northwest
Suburban Association comprising the tax
payers west of Rock Creek Park, we de-
sire to call your attention to the surface
condition of our streets and public roads,
especially Connecticut Avenue, Wiscon-
sin Avenue, Woodley Road. Pierce Mill
Road. and Grant Road. The present con-
dition of these highways renders travel
dangerous to vehicles and pedestrians,
being filled with ruts and covered by
large, sharp pointed stones, which render
the roads almost impossible.
"As these highways are largely fire.
quented not only by the resident property
owners, but by the public at large, we
earnestly request that you will direct
that they be repaired and put in good
condition without delay Time is an i'm
portant feature in this matter, and the
repairs should not be put off until the
bad weather sets in. We suggest that
these roads should be surfaced with
gravel as far as the appropriation will
permit and thoroughly rolled Our tax
payers have suffered from this inconven-
ience for several months, and we trust
that you will appreciate the interest we
take in this matter and speedily grant
the relief prayed"

The medical department of the 1st Regi-

history that in the years to come will
prove as interesting as will be the mill

Little did the men and boys who last May

ner to indicate strength and vigor imagine
what was before them and what hardships,
deprivation and sickness it would fall to
their turn to endure. The surgeons of the
regiment declare that almost to a man
they have held up with wonderful cour-
age. They have shown the greatest pow
ers of endurance, combined with patience,
and if ordered to remain in Cuba they
would have continued to obey orders until
none were left to do so.
Good Discipline.
In comparison with other regiments with
whom the surgeons came in contact the
discipline of this regiment stood out in
bold relief, and was strong factor In pre-
venting the decentralization that invaded
many regiments when their men were fall
ing right and left with disease. This disci-
pllne saved many lives, as a frightened,
demoralized man is much more difficult

1trol of himself.

animation, and when they started from
Washington were the equals physically of
aEy body of men that entered the army.
