for Extra Appropriation.
AMOUNT COMPARATIVELY Small
Additional 1920 Will Make Total
Amount for Department No More
Than IT Was Few Years Ago
More Men Needed.

A resolution recommending to Tho
city council that tho salary of every
man In the police department be
Increased $40 per month. was IMAM
imously adopted by the board of qo.
lice commissioners Mt II special meet
ing held last night. The secretary of
the board was instructed to cont
municate with Mayor Buxton and
request that IN his annual message
10 the council he urge favorable ar
ton upon the recommendation.
This increase OF salaries will mean
an Increase of only So 220 In tho
annual appropriation for the police
department. and even then the mp,
preparation would not be MS large
as St was several years ago, when
$4,000 was set aside each year by
the council for the conduct OF the
police department.
The commissioners took no action
In the matter of asking the council
for additional patrolmen during the

to say just how many additional
patrolmen will be needed to give

'by at least ten men and 1t is posi-
'hlc t..ht double that Wnmbcr Will
be needed
Before the next special meeting
the members OF the board will con-
slider the probable conditions that
will exist here during the exposition
period and they will then NE able

HOLDS FIRST MEETING.
Session Of Alexandria County I'm
provement Association.

The first meeting Of the recently organized
Alexandria County improvement Associa-
ton was held last evening in the school
house at Del Ray, with President Joseph Z.
Suppee presiding. The rumored intention
of the city of Alexandria to institute pro-
ceedings looking to an extension of its
boundaries so as to include within the
corporation a major portion of the present
jefferson district was discussed. 1t was
decided in a general way that any such
move by citizens of Alexandria or its town
council will be vigorously combatted, and
President Supplee appointed the necessary
committees to carry out preliminary work.
Although 1t was less than three weeks
old, the committee on roads. streets, side
walks and lights, ]. T. Marsteller, chair
man, submitted a report showing results
accomplished and improvements suggested
for the future. He said that correspondence
with the Southern railway had ELECTED a
promise to equip the crossing at st. Elmo
with an electric alarm bell. and, further,
that the Washington, Alexandria and Mt.
Vernon Railway Company had agreed to
install a similar device at its St. Asaph
crossing in addition to continuously burning
lamps In all of its stations in the county
and lamps signaling danger or the ap-
proach of trains at crossings. The COM
mittee suggested that progress toward
lighting the streets of Del Ray and all of
the more thickly settled sections of the
district would be accomplished by all prop
erty owners maintaining lamps in front OF
their homes, and both coal-oil and electric
lamps were taken under consideration. Rep
resentatves Of the Alexandria Electric
Light Company We're present and explained
to the meeting the cost OF instaiIing both
residence and street lighting electric serv-
