that there was little that was new in re-
gard to the water supply of the District.
Mr.. Archibald Greenlees. who made this
report. stated that the introduction of
water meters does not do away with the
necessity for prompt action for supplying
an additional water service by the build
ing OF new conduit
Mr.. VIM. I. Galliher, from the commit
tee on streets and avenues. made COM
prehensve report of work accomplished In
the year
Mr.. M. 1. Weller made plea for greater
recognition for that part of the District
lying outside the old city limits and east
of North Capitol street He hoped that
when the committee brings in its next re-
port it will estimate for that section in
accordance with the population and with
the area. In both of these respects, he
said, the section was larger than the north
west section which. during the past. had
been receiving 80 per cent of improvements.
On motion of DR.. A. +. Pardon. this re-
port was amended 50 that it will make
clear the fact that the expense of street
extensions has been met by adjacent prop
erty and that the national government has
not been called upon to pay money for that
purpose.
The committee on taxation and assess
ment made report. in which 1t favored
plan for separating extraordinary perma-
nent improvements from the current ex-
penses, so that they might be provided for
separately.
The committee on transportation favored
further protection to shippers. and stated
that 1t was hoped that the recently passed
rate legislation will give desired relief.
All these reports were finally disposed Of.
The board voted to have a shad bake on
some Saturday during the coming spring.
On motion Of Mr.. Thos. w. Smith a reso-
luton was referred to the board Of direc-
tors favoring the appointment of an agent
to attend the jamestown exposition in or
der to influence various conventions to meet

said. as a very large number Of conventions
will be held at jamestown during the COM
ing summer.
