OPPOSED To- D. AND O. BILL.


Citizens Ass0c86SlOm Takes Action ON
That ana Bond Issue.
The North capffel and lexington Clti-
zens' Association met last evening and pro-
tested against the action Of the House COM
mittee on the District of Columbia in rela-
ton to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad bill.
A resolution was ais adopted Disappearing
of any issue of BORIS by the District for
raising money for street extension Or street
Improvement AZ
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
VIM. G. Henderson, the president who later
called MIR. Irwin 3. Linton to the chair to
preside. on account adf an urgent engage
ment, which required him to leave the hail.
Mr.. A. o. TingleNsected as secretary
Capt. w. s. Chase. chairman of the Bal
tfmore and Ohio yfaauct committee, report
ed on the work OF his Committee before the
Heuse committee on the District of Column
bia. He said the hearing finally accorded
his committee by the District committee
was extremely unsatisfactory. There was
general expression of sentiment in favor
of vigorous effort to secure favorable ac-
ton by the House the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad bill, relating to changes in
the vicinity of Eckihgton. it passed the
Senate.
The association then unanimously adopted
a resolution indicating its opposition to any
plan for the issuing of bonds for the pur-
pose of raising mohey for street extension
VI StIcSl II was Claimed
that 1t was futile to attempt to secure a
completed city in a year or two; that
street extensions and improvements would
be made from year to year by means of the
usual appropriations aid that any issue of
bonos to accomplish that purpose would
merely be placing a burden on the whole
people of the District in order that a few
land owners might dispose of their hold
1ngs. The bond issue was declared to be a
project by which the people of the District
We're to be placed under the burden of a
deot To improve land in order that the own
ers of this land might later sell II at adj
Vanced prices to the people who will be
called upon to pay for the Improvement. If
a bond issue were made it was claimed
tnat the enormous annual charge for in
terest and sinking funds would TO that ex-
tent lower the amount of annual appropria-
ton that would otherwise be made for the
usual fixed expenses and improvements of
the District.

Pedestrians on 7th street have noticed big

caught remarkably realistic glimpse of
the fairyland of their childhood.
The whole of the big show window on
the It'll street side of the store Is devoted to
the representation of the story Of ''Cinder-

been taken to produce scene as fascinat-

perfect picture of astonlshment. Outside
are some real pumpkins, one of which the
fairy is to transform into coach, and
some live rats in cage, which, as every
one knows, the fairy transformed into mag
nifcent horses.
The other scene shows Cinderella all
dressed up in gorgeous robes, just coming
down the steps of the palace, with the prince
in pursuit. while the grand carriage with
its champing steeds is waiting to whisk her
off home. In the palace couples are seen
in grand clothes. dancing and making mer-

trees and moss and gravel outside lend
such an air of reality to the whole thing
that the illusion IS almost perfect.

lighted, and many Srown-up person will
stand for half hour to gaze on the pretty
scene. 1t is even better than the repre-
sentation of Little Red Riding Hood which
was shown last year, and which was one
of the most talkedtof Christmas events in
town. Every parent should take the chill
dren to see 1t, for it Is a very redf pleasure
to the little ones, and all such things help
to make Christmas the event Of the year.

The creation OF an auditing CON-
mittee by the council is certainly a
wise move. In the past bills against
the city have received no considera-
ton by any city official until They
came before the city council for &C.
ton. Considerable time was always
consumed in discussing the bills, and
many have been acted on without
complete Information by aldermen.

ceive attention before a council
