the board of common council of
Washington before he was 25. Two
years after, in 1862, he became presi-
dent of the body. He was a member
of the levy court in 1867, and presi-
dent of the Citizens Reform associa-
ton in 1870. Then congress turned
Washington and the District of Co.
lumbia into territorial government
He was appointed governor of the
district, Nand president of the board
of public works. He had always
borne the reputation of being pro-
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washington at this time was a
drowsy, half-northern, half-southern
city. 1t had been laid out on liberal
lines but had never conformed to
them. 1t had no adequate building
laws. Its streets were mud holes
in winter and dust distributors in
summer. Shepherd determined to
alter this. He had the power and
he proceeded to use it. One morn
ing the people of the old town wax
ened to find hundreds of men at work
on the streets. 1t was the advance
guard of BOSS" Shepherds legions
Within the next three years, from
June l, 1871, to June "A, 1874, Boss
Shepherd ruled Washington with a
rod of iron. Men who began by
praising him ended by cursing him.
AS improvements grew taxes in
creased. Many men were financially
ruined by the burdens imposed upon
them. Newspapers in other cities
were the only avenues for the male
dictions of the citizens; the local
papers were bound hand and foot by
the influence of the boss" or ST.
fenced by knowledge that he was
doing the right thing. in improving
Washington, although it was unpop-
ular at the time.
Nothing halted his determination.
The city became hive of municipal
industry. All streets of any impor-
tance underwent transformation
They were graded, severed and
paved, and it is now admitted that
the work was well and admirably
done. Some idea of the improve
ments that Shepherd made in Wash
ington may be CLEANED from these
interesting figures. He planted
more than 10000 trees and paved 11S
miles of streets, besides laying 2O7
miles of sidewalks. His army of
men dug and carried away $4,000
cubic yards of earth. He had con-
Structed 317106 feet of nina ca,yorr
of - to IS inches in diameter; four
miles of sewers from 10 to 80 feet in
diameter and over five miles of sew
ers from to feet in diameter. He
laid 80 miles of water pipe and near
ly 60 miles of gas pipe. In addition
to this he constructed 80 miles of
roads in the suburbs of the city.

brother an epoch of courteous and
