Mayor Paf Calls Meeting.
Mayor Par has called a meeting OF the
Alexandria county board of supervisors
and the officials of the Washington-South
ern and Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Electric Hallway compa-
nies, with a view to extending the vitri-
fed brick street at the upper end of King
street far the new Union passenger
railway station. 1t is regarded as prob
able that the meeting will be held early
next week. The idea of the mayor III
calling the officials together is TO see If
a plan can be adopted whereby all of the
parties mentioned will make an agreement
20 have the three or four blocks west OF
the city's limits paved as far as the Union
passen ger station. If such should be ac-
compIishod King street would bc pave
with Vitrihed brick from the river front
to the depot, a distance of mile.
Tie city is rapidly paving the upper
portion of King street with v.trfied brick,
out the county line starts at point
where the work really should not be
/ stopped. and the city will not OF course
/ pave the county part. Mayor Paff is OF
/ the opinion that a satisfactory arrange
ment can be made by the parties CON
| cerned. The mayor recently held a con-
! ference with the officials mentioned and
| all Of them expressed their Willingness 10
mold joint m, citing for the purpose OF
| taking concerted action in the matter.
