the Commissioners this afternoon forward

Inmates for the use of the board Of edu-

WHAT A DISTINGUISHED
CHEMIST SAYS.

Ross L. Wallace, A. NJ. and A. c.,
is one of the most distinguished
analytic and consulting chemists in
the east. His name is near the front
rank of the distinguished on chem
istry. This is what he says of Mum
yon's Paw-Paw: Il have analyzed
Munyon's Paw-Paw and can say that
it is highly concentrated vegetable
compound of extraordinary merit as
digestant and tonic for both the
stomach and nervous centers. 1t
contains nothing whatever that
could be harmful to the most deli

PRICE OF ANTI-TOXIN.
DR.. Woodward's Investigation Shows
No Tpcroa ca hv Retailers

DR.. William C. woodward today wrote to
the manufacturers of anti-toxin in several
cities, requesting information relative to
the increase in the price Of the medicine,
which, it is claimed, is due to the forma-
ton of a combination Of the anti-toxin
manufacturing concerns. Dr. Woodward
states that there has been no increase in
the retail price Of the drug, but that the
manufa cturers have increased the price Of
the medicine to the dealer.

Mr.. Robert N. Harper, chairman of the
committee on commerce and manufactures,
presented his report, as follows:
THE meetings of the committee have been
comparatively few since the last annual
meeting of the board, but no little work
has been done by correspondence through
the office of the secretary Of the board, in
response to the numerous requests from
promoters. capitalists and manufacturers,
who desired either to change their location
in other cities. on account Of labor troubles,
etc, or anticipated advantages in this city
for increasing their capitalization by being
brought into personal contact with people
from all parts of the United States, or, we
may say, of the world.
"It has been found most difficult to sat
isfactorily meet these demands and re-
quirements, as your committee has not the
power to guarantee the sale of stocks or
bonds of these enterprises, to relieve them
Of taxation for even a limited time, or Sc
cure for their factories site free Of
charge.
EVERY applicant will indirectly or point
edly make one or the other of the above de-
mands. or, in some instances. all Of them.
I'VE realize, however, one Self-evident
fact that no city can become truly self-de-
pendent and financially great, without SUBJ
stantial manufacturing industries. Wash
ipgton seems to be merely the capital of a
great nation, and therefore unlike the capt-
tai cities of the world.
your committee is fully alive to the i'm
portance of not encouraging any enterprise
which would mar the beauty of our public
buildings. or disturb the pleasure or COM
fort of our citizens in the residential sec
ton. The high price of ground alone In the
section occupied by our fine and costly resi-
dences is of itself a guarantee of protec-
tion against any such encroachment.

coming one Of the largest cities Of this

The New Speedway.

The speedway from the foot of 18th street
to the Long bridge, along Potomac Park,
has been completed and opened to the pub
lie. 1t is a magnificent piece of work, and
the superintendent of public buildings and
grounds, under whose supervision the work
was done, is deserving of much praise for
the substantial character of the improve
ment made and the splendid speedway af-
forded the residents and visitors to the ma
tional capital. 1t seems to your committee
that provision ought to be made for con-
tinuing this speedway to the south of the
contemplated highway bridge and entirely
around Potomac Park. thus affording
water driveway not surpassed by any in
the country, and your committee recon-
mends that such suggestion be made to the
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds.
Mr.. Henderson emphasized the need of
streets parallel to the sides of the new
union station. especially one east of the
station from H street to Massachusetts
avenue. He introduced Mr.. James T. Du-
bois, whom he had appointed chairman of
the subcommittee to place the necessity for
opening Of these streets before the District
Commissioners, anu Mr. Dubois Illustrated
Evening star., 1904-01-23

Mr.. Reed said he had hoped that the
sewage disposal system would be COM
pleted by 1905, but now 1t seemed that it
could not be done before 1906 He hoped
the balance of money necessary to perfect
the sewerage scheme would be secured
during this session of Congress. He hoped
to see Congress advance from the federal
treasury the Districts portion Of money
necessary for that purpose so that the work
could be completed during the next two
years at least.
Mr. Reed presented Mr. Asa E. Phillips.
assistant engineer of the District to
explain the present condition of the sewer
work Mr.. Phillips showed that to COM
plete the sewage disposal system there
would be required an additional appropria-
ton of 1851 $50. The total estimates for
sewers is 81, 2,116,250.
Mr.. Phillips explained the manner In
which the present plans for sewage dis
posal will effectually prevent the flooding
low level at 9th street. The sewer built
for taking off storm waters would be ample
for that purpose. The B street sewer has
been inadequate for that purpose chiefly
sewage while under the new plan sepa-
rate sewer will be wholly for storm water,
and will be made effective in connection
with dykes on the river front which are
being built.
The report of the committee on sewers
was adopted.
DIR. Pardon was called on to tell of the
recent meeting of the national board of
trade.
Mr.. Thomas P. Morgan proposed that
Commissioner Henry L. West, who was
present at the meeting, be invited to make
an address. The suggestion was met with
round of applause, and Mr.. West spoke
briefly about some District needs that had
been referred to during the evening.
Mr.. West explained the difficulties met by
the Commissioners in repaving with as
phalt streets that have been paved with
Belgian block. That was subject that had
given the Commissioners considerable en-
bGrraSsment.
who had donated land for streets and were
14th street extended the opening is only
blocked by one OF two owners holding out
against the donation of land. as 81 per cent
of the land necessary has already been do
mated. The Commissioners meet a senti-
ment in Congress which Is not favorable to
any Improvement unless all the land is do
mated.
In the making up of their estimates the
Commissioners had been obliged to leave
out many worthy objects of public improve
ment merely in order to keep the whole
amount within a reasonable figure. They
would have been glad to place many more
items in the bill.
Mr. West was given an ovation as he con-
cluded his rema rks, when the board adjourn
ed and the members were served with a
luncheon In the adjoining room.
The Members Present.
Among those present at the meeting were:
Evening star., 1904-01-23

IQe AnacoSt1a River.
1T is also of the very greatest import
ance that appropriations should be OBJ
tanned from Congress- for carrying on the
Improvement of the Anacostia river above
the Navy Yard bridge.b This appropriation
should not be less than $500, 600, and is nee
essary, not only on account of the require
ments or that portian Of the river for trade
and commerce. but also for the health and
| beauty of our city,
"The question of the necessity of fire
boat Tor the protection of the wharves and
property along the river, including the veS-
sells, cargoes, etc, has been very carefully
considered by your committee and in its
opinion such boat Is absolutely essential,
not only to the proper, but even to the or
binary protection of the numerous property
rights there situated. 1t is the history of
almost every fire along the wharves and
among the vessels that such fires have
caused total loss OF the buildings or YES
sells in Which they have originated which
is largely due to Inadequate protection by
the fire department.
ut seems to be the erroneous idea that
such boat would be only for the protec-
ton or vessels, but, further than that, 1t
would also protect large buildings and
warehouses. many Of which are now on the
wharves, and which are practically help
less in the event fire should start. In many
instances, such as the ice houses and mills
above the free or Aqueduct bridge, 1t
would be practically the only protection,
and there are many similar Instances along
the Washington and Georgetown wharves
and the Eastern branch.
Another argument In favor of such
boat Is the present condition OF the navy
yard and the Washington barracks. The
Washington navy yard Is now the largest
gun factory in the world, and. not to speak
of the buildings, which have been erected
at cost OF many hundreds or thousands
of dollars, the plant contains machinery of
the very finest character which has cost
millions of dollars. At the Washington
barracks in recent years there has been
and is now being expended several million
dollars in the erection or buildings and ap-
