ROBABLY no city in the nation
can boast a camera club more
active and progressive in art for
arts sake" than can Washing
ton. Probably conditions. in no
city so lend themselves to the getting to-
gether of men of unusual ability with OPP
portunity to develop photography. or any
kindred art, as does the National capital.
The birth and growth Of the Capital
Camera Club is itself a strong illustration
Of this conspiracy of favorable conditions.
It sprang into existence in 1891 because
there were numbers of men with leisure
and inclination about town who had the
picture-takin& fever and wanted an OPP
portunity to work out ideas new and old.
These dubbed together and procured the
paraphernalia corning the basis for the
establishment of fully equipped work
shop. There was a great demand for Just
such thing as good equipment for the
dabbling In developers, and the small club
Of very limited membership soon devel-
oped into thrifty organization. Interest
in 1t has never Jagged in the seventeen
years Of its existence.
In the early days the clubrooms were at
7th and d streets Such men as Albert ].
LIE Breton (the clubs first president). E.
H. Pullman, ]. e. Mitchell and Frank ].
Cullum were in those days active In its
organization. The first quarters were fair
ly we'll fitted out They were somewhat
historic In that the photographer who had
preceded the club had been SO VIGOROUSLY
playful In his handling Of Uncle Sans pa
per money and In its reproduction that it
had become necessary to retire him to
Moundsville.
Moved to Larger Quarters.
BY 1898 the club had grown to such pro-
portions that its first quarters were found
inadequate, and the present commodious
rooms in the Walter building, 1910 r
street northwest, were specially built for
1t, and here it has remained through the
past ten years. It's studio for portrait
work is one Of the best in the country.
The club has progressed during the past
decade to such an extent that its roster Of
membership has remained always praoti-
cally at the maximum. Today there are
something over eighty members. while
the membership roll IL limited to a hun
dred members.
The Capital Camera Club has been the
center Of amateur photography Of the
city. The clubrooms have been the ground
where the enthusiasts have gotten to-
gether and compared notes and prints
and iuterchanged ideas and methods. Pic

Hon. VIM. l.. Gilbert attorney for

as saying that Ordinance No. lSS un.
der which the company operates IN
Cairo does not require and would net
permit the adoption of any ordinance
requiring That the company shall pu,

He is quoted also as saying that the
st elton which limits the rates to the
average Of rates prevailing in the five
cities of Louisville. Nashville, St

means the average Of rates prevailing
at the time the ordinance was passed.
which was in 1885, and can not BIO
construed to mean the average Of
rates prevailing at any time after the
Passage Of the ordinance.
Mr. Gilbert has prepared an ordi-
nance in place of that prepared by At,

NiIes that the Water Company shall
