A DISMAL SUNDAY.

A cold norlheasterly wind and rain
rendered conditions extremely uncom-
Portable out of doors yesterday. Con-
siderable rain fell, and in some places
on the outskirts of the city felds were
covered with wster. There were also
come fairies of snow, and some hail
fell. The embsnkment of the Wash
ington Southern Railway st Spring
Park was damaged considerably by
the rains, 80 much so that the track
90 the western side of the embank-
ment will not be used until repairs
shall have been made. The embsnk'
ment at that point has given trouble
during the past two OF three years.

careful provision made to insure the
erection of a high class Of dwellings.
With the 25 minute schedule on the
electric line from Spring Park to Penn
sylysuia avenue and 90 minutes by
steam trains to the new Union Station,
in Washington, this property will be
by far the nearest high class residence
section to the center of Washington in

bes of WashingtonianS to live here.
This plan to give Alexandria a new
residence section is awaking quite a
lively interest in the city, and number

Fire Wardens will make application to
the CITY Council for an appropriation OF
nine hundred or one thousand dollars
10 purchase additional hose for the two
steam fire engine companies. On Sep
TENDER 81, 1904, communication was
read in Council from Chief Pettey asking
for an appropriation, with the request
that ''yon (counciD will accord this COM
munication an early and favorable con-
sideration, as the supply of hose on
hand at present is inadequate to meet
the demands Of the department" The let
ter of the chief was addressed to the Board
of Fire Wardens and was forwarded to
the City Council with the following en-
dorsemeut signed by its secretary, Mr..
O.J. w. Summers. "GenIlemen: We
herewith refer to you the application OF
the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart
ment for hose and respectfully recon-
mend that his request be granted The
papers were referred to the joint COM
mittee on finance and public property,
which committee on November 22nd
recommended an appropriation Of nine
hundred dollars. Early in the year
1905, hose (ono thousand feeO wss
purchased OF the Fabric Fire Hose Com
pany. the Reliance receiving 700, and
the Columbia 300 feet. About one year
prior TO this purchase, or on December
10, 1908, the city paid janis Boyd q
Brother of Philadelphia, for 600 feet,
the Reliance, at that date, receiving 600
feet, and the Columbia, 400 feet. Chief
Pettey in his letter to the fire wardens in
1904, and to which We have referred,
said that 'the Reliance had 500 feet OF
seryiceable, and 900 feet of unserviceable
hose. and the Columbia |, 800 feet OF
serviceable, and 500 feet unserViceable
hose" II is not known by the City
Council what is the condition, or what
amount of hose the city uses, as the Wal
dens have not as yet spprised them.
This information will perhaps be fur
nished to Council on Tuesday night.
