Views of Members.
Mr.. Server enlarged upon the fourteen
reasons given by him, remarking that if
the bill should become law in its present
shape the people of lexington might as
well pull out The, bill, he added, author
lies the railroad company to acquire prom
erty in the vicinity by gift, and il it should
be enacted as introduced that would i'm his
opinion, be about the only possible way
for people to get rid Of their lexington
holdings. They certainly would not be
able to sell it, he asserted, and he yery
much doubted whether anyone, except
the railroad company, would even then
take it as a gift.
Mr.. w. G. Henderson, also a resident of
lexington and member of the associa-
ton, followed Mr.. Server, mentioning with
approval all that had been said by those
who preceded him. In Kidding one section
Of the city of the evil of grade crossings
Congress has no right, he said, to make
another suffer. II the bill should become
law in it's present form, it would be a mon
strous wrong to the people of lexington
and its vicinity, one from which they
would never recover, for once the railroad
company is given possession it will never
vacate it's holdings. The bill, he pointed
out. proposes to remove the company's
warehouses from a business section and
place them in purely residential one He
asserted that there is nothing in the COM
pany's contention that it cannot raise its
tracks high enough to keep open the
streets of lexington. No streets and no
roads essential to the convenience of the
people, he declared, should be closed
The Rev. S. w. Pond and Mr.. P. A. Auer
spoke in a similar strain, and Mr. s. s.
Daish expressed the hope that the railroad
company would be required to compensate
all persons for damages suffered.

NEW MEASURE SUGGESTED. {.
Proposition Before Alexandria Counts
Board of Development.

A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
in the office of r. A. Phillips, 100 14th
street northwest. of the special committee
of the Alexandria county board of devel-
opment appointed by the president of the
board, Mr.. A. NJ. LothrOp, to consider the
proposition to bond the county for road i'm
provements.
There were present the following mem
bers of the committee: Messrs. r. A
Phillips, chairman; James E. Clements, w.
w. Douglas, L. NJ. Gideon. F. ]. De Lash
mutt, r. H. Darby, NJ. e. Church and E.
G. Harrison. Mr.. NJ. o. Eldridge of the
Agricultural Department was also present
After a long debate over the two bills, it
was decided to propose an entirely new
measure which will change entirely the
method of handling the funds to be raised
from the bond issue. 1t Is proposed to
make provision for the appointment of a
special road commission, which body will
have complete control of all funds for the
Improvement and increase of roads,
Further, it Is proposed that this commits
sion shall receive salary and that its
entire time shall be occupied in the work
laid out in a set of specifications here
after to be drawn. The money for the
roads is to be expended solely by this COM
vision of an expert engineer on road con-
struction. All drafts for funds for road
work must be made upon a Washington
bank where the entire fund is to be placed
and must be signed by all three members
of the road commission.
This proposition will be laid before the
board at its next meeting.
