The Centennial and the Avenue.

| 1t would be most appropriate if the ses-
sion of the Capital Centennial Commit ee
could be utilized to further the project of
| the development of Pennsylvania avenue
as a great national boulevard, lined on the
| one side with public structures of signifi-
cance and beauty and on the other with
business structures of corresponding
value and sightliuess This is a project in
which all the states are interested. From
every one of them at frequent intervals
pcurs a stream of tourists. eager to see the
| capital in holiday gear soldiers to partici-
pate in great pageants. officials to swell
the lists of noted men in conciave or cele-
bration. At such times Pennsylvania ave-
nue. becomes the center of interest, the
| scene of great events. the parade ground
for professions unrivaled for size and sig
| nificance
Thus the governors coud doubtless be
| interested in the renewed effort to secure
the adoption of a broad policy of avenue
adornment. Their help would be of value.
At the same time those representatives
| and senators who are engaged on the COM
mittees may be approached in the true
spirit of capital evolution which appeals so
strongly to all who have come to under
| stand the full possibilities of Washington
| in this direction. And the project in itself
| fits perfectly into the centra' theme of the
meeting, the provision of proper methods
| of celebrating the establishment here of
the seat of government. Ii would be in

tion of the memorial bridge. the year could

The decision points out that the books of
the company show that the accounts were

items among the various charges. 1t is. OF

that in this case the maintenance charge
has been unduly sweled through the ad-
dition of items which relate strictly to the

to the interest of the corporation to make
the highest possible showing of mainten-
ance cost in order to demonstrate an ap-
parently reasonable ratio between the in

unjustiiiable that expenditures which

Mr. Belmont goes east-takes ship for

while absent he will call on Richard Croker
