walls, and that men serving their
first sentences should not be degrad-
ed by public work of this kind.

The name OF st. Asaph was intended
TO honor John Halifax. vigorous writer
in behalf of the colonies. His name Hal
flax was also the name Of Lord Halifax

rights, and the old towns people deter
mined to honor him in some way and as
he was dean and afterward bishop of the
diocese of st. Asaph in Wales. the new
street laid out while the clouds of war
were speeding over the American
heavens, was called ST. Asaph after his
official title.
A century later the Washington and
Alexandria Railroad which came down
alongside the turnpike turned at the
canal basin and ran into ST. Asaph Street
and the junction of the turn of with the
main road was called st. Asaph juno

Ancient, but up-to-date, Alexandria is
an object lesson in American history.
The town has three distinct sections.
The one from the river 10 200 yards
west Of Royal Street, and bounded by
Duke and Oronoco Streets was laid out
ana peopled in colonial times. There
the streets all taught of the Fairfax and
the Royal families. The next section,
which includes Pitt Street on the west.
and Wolfe Street on the south. belongs
to the period of the French war when
the elder Pitt resigned. and Wolfe and
other British generals attempted to
carry out the British policy in America.
St. Asaph and Wilkes Street represent
the period of unrest which surrounded
the stamp act, and other kindred meas
ures of parliament.
