position within week, and it is de-
sired to express the chambers approval

The Board of Trade mas already put
itself on record as entirely favoring the

Cussion INDUCED i'm at the meeting of

there is little doubt but that the Cham
her of Commerce viii also favor its

ing made and adopted by the board of

IS probable that the Chamber of Com
merce and Board of Trade viii co.
operate in bringing every effort 10 bear

organizations and members OF the cham
her were in attendance at the commit

DICKSON HOME FOR AGED MEM
WORK TO BEGIN SOON ON PRO-
POSED NEW RETREAT.
SEQUEL to Will Of Late Washingto.
.nian, Who Seeks to Perpetuate
Memory Of His Father.

Work will soon begin on the John Dick
son Home for Aged Men, which will be
erected on a four-and-one-half-acr site,
adjoining Saul's Addition, lying between
14th street and Piney Branch road. oppo-
site the reservoir. The site was pur-
chased and the home will be erected and
endowed from funds provided by Henry
Dickson. a former Washingtonian, who
died in Nice. France, two years ago. and
who wished to honor the memory Of his
father by erecting the home in this city.
in which they were both in business for
many years.
Henry Dickson. who amassed a consid-
cradle fortune in the coal business II.
Washington. left here twentyeight years
ago for Nice, where he hoped to regain
ington permanently, although he always
regarded this city as his legal residence:
He left an estate of nearly $1.OOOOOO. of
which he bequeathed nearly 100000 IN
trust to the Washington Loan and Trust
Company for the erection and endowment
of a home for aged men, in memory of
his father.
Site on 18th Street.
The president of the trust company and
the trust committee purchased the site
on 14th street, which they regard as a
particularly fortunate one, because OF us
high elevation. pleasant surroundings,
good view and its proximity to a car line.
Arthur B. Heaton has been engaged as
the architect and has nearly completed
the plans for the buildings.
The home will be made to accommodate
about seventy-five inmates, who are to be
aged men who have resided at least five
years in the District. Each inmate will
have a separate room and every effort
will be made to have the institution as
much like a real home as possible.
Mr.. Edison, president of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company, said today:
I'VE are planning the best possible use of
the money al our command. While Mr..
Dickson is known only to the older resi-
dents of Washington, the philanthropy
which he has organized will serve to keep
his name and that of his father alive. 1t
was his desire to build this home in men,
Dry of his father and for this purpose he
left nearly his entire fortune. 1t is not
possible to say just when the home will
be completed. After careful consideration
we estimated that with the funds at our
command We can construct a mOuel home
which will accommodate comfortably
about seventy five inmates. In this man
ner we think that we can carry out in the
highest degree the purpose Of the donor.
