and nov the burial place place Of
George Washington, is so associated
in public affection with the name
and deeds of the Father Of His
Country that we always think Of
the first president when we think Of
the home That he made famous. But
George Washington did not name
Mount Vernon 1t was so called be-
fore he came into possession of it.
George Washington's half brother,
Augustine Washington, was he first
owner OF the estate and gave it the
name of Mount Vernon in honor Of
Admiral Vernon. IL famous British
commander under whom Augustine
Washington served in the old war
against Spain early in the eight
eenth century. He was devoted
admircr of the old admiral, and
when the war was ended and he
came back to his estate he named
the place Mount Vernon in the ad-
mirals honor.

told about the men who make up the

ar new coming in with the present ad-
ministration of Mayor Davey. Others
have served for longer time; two, four.
six or more years.
The work is one that requires tact
