provement projects. President Bundy and
Louis p Shoemaker each introduced reso-
lutions relating to the subject. both of
which were adopted. Mr.. Shoemaker's
resolution recited that taxation has increasl
ed greatly in the District in recent years
without corresponding evidence of actual
increase in values; that a great deal OF
property has been exempted from taxation;
that great need exists for the improvement
of public thoroughfares outside the old city
limits and that many people are suffering
for sewers, water mains and lighting ia
cilities. In view of this condition Of af-
fairs there is great necessity, the resolution
declared, for the arrangement Of the Dis
trict's finances on a suitable basis, adj
vances from the treasury to be paid in q
number of years.
Bills Which Failed.
George s.. Simmons, chairman Of the COM
mittee on streets and alleys, asked the as
ISOLATION to urge Congress to pass several
bills held over from the last session. The
bills mentioned were those for the abate-
ment Of nuisances. regulating minor streets
and alleys, establishing building lines in
the county and remedying sanitary condi-
lions. The matter was referred to the
committee on laws and legislation,
The question of the remaining of the thor
oughfare connecting the Soldiers Home
with Rock Creek Park was the subject of
long discussion. The thoroughfare it is
stated, Is now designated by three names
Whitney avenue. Park avenue and Lowell
street. 1t was urged that the whole street
be designated as Park avenue.
A resolution to this effect met with some
opposition, as 1t was stated that the reso-
luton might needlessly antagonize the Com
missioners in the matter, as 1t was under
stood the authorities have already decided to
name the thoroughfare Irving street in ac-
cordance with their alphabetical system
Those In favor of the adoption of the res
olution argued that the street is not an
ordinary east and west thoroughfare, but
that it is entitled to the name of avenue
and an exception should be made in the
Commissioners plan. The resolution was
finally adopted.
Poles on Columbia Road.
Secretary Todd read a communication
from the Commissioners stating that 1t is
impracticable at present to remove the tele-
graph and telephone poles on Columbia
road. One member of the association de-
sired to know what the Commissioners
meant by the word impracticable and it
was suggested that the secretary ascertain
the meaning of the word as used in the
Commissioners communice ton. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on tele-
phone poles.
1t was stated that since the membership
of the association is rapidly increasing ar
rangements will likely be made for occa-
sional social entertainments in the future
The new members elected last evening were
as follows: Col. w. Ii. Crook, H. L. Apple
A. b. Caldwell, Henry W. Coffin, Louis c.
Witkowski, Charles Schneider and Carl c.
Mueller.

Alcleht Rom.n .stoxe..

The form OF some of the old Roman
stoves that have been unearthed sug-
gests, that. as to-day. fuel in southern
Italy was scarce. They were designed to
serve several different purposes at one
time. For instance, one resembled a
miniature castle. II was square, with o
small tower at each corner. The top was
toothed like the battlements of an old
fortress. The whole served as brazier
to heat the apartments for roasting meat
and for heating water. An iron pan In
the center contained the glowing char
coal. This was surrounded on all sides
by q hollow chamber for water, with a
capacity of about six gallons, which was
filled by raising hinged lid in the top
of any one Of the towers. The water
was drawn off by means of tap, which
resembled the modern appliances en-
ployed for the same purpose. The splits
for roasting the meat were placed across
from tower to tower. At the front and
back were pairs of handles for trans port
ing the apparatus from one place to an
other. The houses of the ancient Romans
were innocent of chimneys.

county it was found that an error had
been made in a couple of pre-
