DOG TAX AND WATER WORKS.
Two Questions Before Takoma Park
Town Council

The town council of Takorna Park held its
regular meeting Monday night. The va
r1ous committees made their reports and
Assessor ]. B. Kinnear and George A. War
rem submitted a revised assessment of all
taxable property in the corporation,
amounting to s4,545.7s. The council at its
next regular meeting, the first Monday in
June, will st a board of review. to hear
and determine all appeals
The committee on streets and street
lighting was authorized to make necessary
improvements and to erect several new
lamps
The dog tax question was brought up and
discussed at length, and after an address
by Attorney Gould, who submitted laws of
various states upon the question. and cited
cases where the various courts had rem
dered decisions, the judiciary committee
was directed to prepare an ordinance levy
ing tax on all dogs in the corporation,
and also to revise the existing health ordi-
nances of the town.
The topic of water works was brought
up and discussed until nearly u o'clock.
and for a time it looked very much as If an
ordinance would be passed allowing an cleo
ton by the people upon the subject All
the members of the council and the mayor
expressed themselves In favor of the water
works, but 1t was decided finally to defer
definite action in the matter until certain
parties VINO nave expressed q desire to
erect the water works at their own expense
shall have submitted their proposition.
1t is understood that these outside parties
want right to operate the plant for not
less than fifty years, and that they be ex-
empt from taxation by the Park with per-
mission to buy them out at the expiration
of the fifty years.
The Christian Endeavor Society of the
Presbyterian Church held a business meet
irg and Conversation social at the church
last Friday night. Quite an attractive pro-
gram was rendered consisting of music by
Mrs. II. S. Knight and Mr.. Byron Blodgett
and recitations by Mr.. Ebert Warren. The
conversation social proved to be a very
Interesting affair.

The Presidents Appreciation.

The President has assured several of his
congressional visitors from the west of his
deep appreciation of the services rendered
by the volunteers, especially those who
have remained with their regiments since
the proclamation of peace. He has said TO
these senators and representatives that it
is his earnest desire to reward, in some
fitting way, the courage and endurance of
the volunteers who had the right to be dis
charged upon demand, but who have con-
tinued in the services and materially as
sisted in bringing the Philippine war to a
close. 1t is more than likely that President
Mckinley will recommend to Congress the
striking of separate medal for these vol
unteers, which will differ from the medals
of honor, and yet be a memento of the
Philippine campaign and recognition of
the governments gratitude to those who
have upheld the lag and supported the
government

at w. l.. 1. ArmOry.

Probably the gayeSt scene in Washington
last evening was that presented within the
armory of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps. The hall was beautifully decorated
the national colors predominating. There
were pretty girls galore, the majority in
evening attire, and they were attended by
scores of gallant soldiers. Martial music
added to the spirit of the occasion. Fully
500 guests visited the hall to witness and
participate in a review, parade and re-
ception of the list Regiment, District of
Columbia National Guard. 1t was the first
military-social affair in the history of the

success-so much SO, in fact, that similar
functions will probably be held from time
to time hereafter.
The 1st Regiment consists of the 1st Bat
TALON and ID Battalion. The latter marched
to the Light Infantry armory from the
Center Market armory with the National
Guard Brigade band at its head. The regi-

was present in uniform Owing to a slight
indisposition he did not actively partici-
pate in the ceremonies.
The regiment was reviewed by Gen. Har-
ries, commanding the District of Columbia
militia, who was accompanied by the mem
bers of his staff When the military fea-
lures OF the evening were concluded,
promenade concert was given, the several
selections by the brigade band being in
honor of the President of the United States,
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Admiral George
Dewey and the United States volunteers in
the war with Spain. Dancing was then in
order, the floor being occupied for this pur-
pose until long after midnight.
