BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION
Much Interest Being Exhibited in
the Proposed 0rganization-Fu-
neral of Mrs. Adele Williams.


the Proposed Organization-Fu-
neral of Mrs. Adele Williams.
Citizens of Georgetown, whether engaged
in business or simply residents, have
taken deep interest in the proposed or
ganization of a business mems association,
and those who have been approached in
regard to it have expressed willingness
to attend the meeting and do all in their
power to carry out the purposes of the
organization. 1t is feared now that the
place selected for the first meeting will
not be large enough to accommodate the
number expected to attend. There will
be plenty for the new association to do as
soon as the organization is completed. 1t
is expected that one of the first matters
to be taken up will be an active opposition
to the erection of an engine house at the
corner of Prospect Avenue and Potomac
Streets. 1t is anticipated that an effort
will be made to have one erected on the
Heights of Georgetown, where the need
OF it is strikingly apparent. The extern
sion of the streets westward is another
matter which will come before the asso-
citation at an early date. There are any
number of matters which need attention,
and the association will have its hands full
for some time TO come. The organization
will probably be completed and ready for
business in two weeks.
The funeral of Mrs. Adele Williams wife
of Gen. Robert Williams, of the United

offerings were very beautiful. Requiem
