ASKS FOR BETTER FACILITIES.
Appeal Made to Commissioners by
TakOma Park.

Appear " ny
Takoma Park.
Mr. George A. Warren, chairman of the
Takoma Park Citizens Association COM
mittee on water and lights, recently invit-
ed the attention of the District Commits
sioners to the urgent necessity for proper
facilities for fire protection in that town.
The nearest engine company, that at
Brightwood, is about one and q half miles
distant from the business center of the
community, and while the association states
that it has no intention to embarrass the
Commissioners with unreasonable requests
or at this time urge upon them the pur
chase of fire engine for the town. the
association, through Mr.. Warren, did re-
quest the Commissioners to provide about
600 feet of leading hose, and, If practicable,
a hand reel. for which the, town promises
it will become responsible and provide
proper quarters.
partment, and Mr.. John D. KurtZ, second
assistant chief engineer, made an investi
cation. He states that he found that the
town authorities have a small two-wheel
reel equipped with 500 feet Of two-inch hose
but that it has not been employed at all
fires because of the location Of the house
in which it is stored and because the ma
jority of the men of the place are in the
that the apparatus be placed nearer the
business section of the town, and Mr..
Kurtz believes that if the water main
should be extended from 9th and Vermil-
lion streets or from Oak and Magnolia ave-
nues to the railroad crossing, at the inter-
| section Of Oak and Carroll aevnues, and a
| fire hydrant erected it would be Of con-
siderable importance to the business CEN
| ter and the 500 feet Of hose on the towns
reel would then reach every store and the
| town hall. Mr.. Kurtz therefore SO recon-
| mended.
| Commissioner Wight has forwarded the
matter TO Cant Reach the Engineer
missioner, inviting attention to the recon-
| mendation of Mr.. Kurtz, which recon-
mendation Mr.. Wight approves, If the work
can be done by the water department.

What Did the Village Get?

Those familiar with the history of
the right-of-way purchase will re-
member that one-half of the net pro-
fits from the sale of the lots were to
go to the Village Improvement Com
mittee. The committee allowed
$500 for the strip along the front of
the lots which permitted the street to
be widened. This overdrew the COM
mittee's share to date by 81, $50 so
that under the terms of the agree
ment the committee was entitled to
nearly full one-half of the lots
which remained unsold before the
division.
Did the committee get one-half as
far at actual value and Stability of
the lots is concerned? No member
of the committee outside of the
stockholders in the company was
present when the division was made
and many business men have ex=
pressed themselves as Of the opinion
that the committees interests were
not porperly looked after.
The public would have been much
better satisfied with the division if
the committee, who represent the
public, had been present and allowed
choice on an equal footing with
the stockholders.

WAS NOT DROWNED.
Young Deidrichson Became Temporal
riIy Deranged.

1 q
Necedah junction, Dec. IL
The son of Rec. Deidrichson OF
Necedah, an account of whose death
by drowning was reported on Thanks
giving day, end for whose remains
the pond at Necedah was dragged
and dynamited for several days with
out success, has been found at Madi-
son, Wis.
The searchers followed Mr. Deid-
richsou's tracks for some distance to
whore they abruptly ended at hole
in the ice, and could find no further
trace of him, and it was accepted as
satisfactory evidence that he was
drowned.
No more was heard from him until
Saturday last, when his parents re-
ceived letter from him, written at
Madison, Wis, and asking that they
come alter him.
Mr.. Deidrichson claims that he did
fall into the hole in the ice which the
searchers found, to the extent of get
ting a wetting, but could remember
nothing more until he found himself
upon a freight train. Being still
partially irritational, he proceeded to
Portage and from there to Madison,
where he underwent several exper-
fences before he became sufficiently
rational to realize where and who he
was.
Mr.. Deidrichson has been confn-
ing himself very closely to study the
last year in trying to complete a two
years school course in one year, and
it is thought the hard study had pro-
duced a temporary arrangement.
