A YEAR AS COMMISSIONER
A Review of Mr.. Macfarland's
Services TO the District.
Selection of the New Board of Edu-
cation and Securing Increased
Appropriations From Congress
Features of His Administration.

Henry B. F. Mcfarland on Thursday
completed the first year of his incumbency
of the office of President of the Board
of District Commissioners. President Nc
Kinley named Messrs. mcfarland and
Ross as Commissioners for the term of
three years on April q, 1900. Mr.. Ross as
his own successor and Mr.. mcfarland as
the successor of John b. Wight. The
appointments were confirmed by the Sem
ale May 2. On May the new BoarS as
stunned its duties. and the day was marked
by the presentation of gifts and flowers
to the outgoing Commissioner and the
welcoming of the new one to office by the
employees of the District government a
pleasant feature attending the opening OF
the new administration was reception to
Commissioner Macfarland by the Y. M.
C. A. of which organization he was and
is a prominent member.
One of the first official acts of Commits
sioner Macfarland was to call up the for
mer order OF the Board relative to the
muzzling OF dogs. and to move Its repeal
This motion was voted down by Mr.. Mac
fariand's colleagues. and the question
which had been widely discussed in the
city for many months died out by the ex-
piration of the order a few weeks la
ter.
During the month of June last Commits
siioner Macfarland was kept busy from
night to night attending the various COM
mencement exercises of the public schools
of the city. at which he made short adj
dresses. These public utterances served
to bring the new Commissioner into touch
with the people. and have caused frequent
demands upon his time in the preparation
and delivery of addresses at public gath
erings since then
Mention of a few of Mr.. Macfarlands
acts as Commissioner show that the first
wear of his administration has been an
especially active one. AS supervising Com
missioner of the ps.blic schools he was
called upon to name the new Board of
Education under the law providing for
the reorganization of the schools. and
time has demonstrated the wisdom of his
choice of the members of this important
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-05-11

board During last year Commissioner
Mcfarland was very active in securing
to the District cheaper and better sites
for school houses. The methods of COM
petition instituted were found very sue
cessful. In making the many additions
to its school property IN the last year the
District has saved considerable money in
this way.
Among the appointments made at Mr..
Macfarlands suggestion during the year
was that of Coroner hewitt to succeed
Coroner Carr, the reappointment of DR..
William c. Woodward, as Health officer.
and the naming OF Robert w. Dutton, as
Chief Engineer OF the Fire Department,
to succeed Joseph Paris.
In the celebration of the centennial of
the establishment of the District of Co
lumbia as the seat of the National Gov
eminent, Commissioner MacfarIand
served as Chairman of the General Com
mittee having the arrangements in
charge. 1t has been the pride of the
Commissioner that the celebration of the
Districts centenary raised the District
to an equality with the States of the
Union In popular estimation.
Perhaps the most important service to
the District by Commissioner Macfarland
was his success, in connection with his
HOOiltd6utos lllt UttuS OIL IIle
local government before Congress last
December and the resulting larger ap-
Preparations. The actual necessities of
the growing city were so well stated at
that time, and the backward condition of
much of the municipal business on ac-
count of the lack of sufficient appropria-
ations was SO emphasized, that Congress
was prevailed upon to give larger sums
for the conduct of the city departments
and also to guarantee the credit of the
municipality by advancing certain sums
for immediate needs. Commissioner Mac
farland took an active part in the pro-
mitigation of the new order stopping the
street cars on the near side of the street
as means of greater safety to the pub
lie and especially TO the Fire Department.
One of the principal duties Of admin
istration has been the organization and
work of the Board OF Charities. over
which Commissioner Macfarland has SUI
pervision. All the avenues of public
charity, except the services of the Health
Department in connection with contagious
diseases and the supervision of the
Washington Asylum, have been placed
under the control of the Board of Char
tiles, and the board ana the Commits
sioners have acted in perfect harmony
during the entire period of the existence
of the former.
The administration of Commissioner
Ross. who received his appointment for
third time on the same day with Mr.
mcfarland, has been marked with the
same ability and success that have char
acterized his service for the District for
the last seven years.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Nature was not in patriotic sympathy
yesterday with the efforts of the Wo-
mans Army and Navy League. and for
that reason she garden party held in the
grounds of the Naval Museum of Hygiene
will be repeated this afternoon. Despite
the threatening weather, however, yester-
days fete was fairly well patronized,
there being in attendance quite a gather
ing of the various phases of Washington
society. The picturesque grounds were
dotted with fag-decked tents and the
building was draped with TIE cavalry
and artillery colors, mingled with the
Stars and Stripes-one flag being of such
heroic dimensions as to catch the eye
long before the entrance was reached.
The Marine Band played throughout the
afternoon and there was impromptu dane
ing in the halls
A specially attractive feature of the
programme OF amusements were the ath-
letic sports and stunts, consisting of hun
dred-yard dashes, high jumps, egg, sack,
and potato races, saddling horses and
sewing on of buttons, all performed by
United States cavalry officers and men
from Fort Myer, United States marines,
and members of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
Miss Blossom Conrad. Miss Chamber
lain, Miss Laura Mulhall. and Miss Elsie
Jarls, picturesquely CARRIED as fortune

were Miss Root. Miss Ruggles. MIS- Cobb,
Miss Webb, Miss Edes, Miss Patten Miss

financial success of the afternoon was the
