Commissioner MacfarIand
REGRETS to Lose Colleague
,er mcfarland said.

Commissioner Mcfarland said:
II regret to learn of the decision Of my
colleague. but I am glad for him to have
the larger financial opportunity. Any
break In the continuity of the District ad-
ministration means a possible change in
policies. which might be unfortunate.
since our strength lies in consistent ad-
vocacy Of well matured plans. But we
shall hope that his successor will be Of
like mind in District affairs. Mr.. West
has rendered important and valuable
service to the District OF Columbia, for
which we are grateful He is justified In
thinking that he has made SUFFICIENT sac
ridce Of his personal interests in the pub
lie service. a sacrifice which every Com
missioner must make"
DIR. William Tindall, secretary to the
Commissioners, said:
Mr.. West, during his term as Commits
sioner, has furthered q high standard of
administrative efficiency and progress. He
leaves all the departments which fell
within the purview OF his Immediate su-
pervtston with improved methods of
business and the personnel with an acut-
er sense Of official duty and responsibility
So Tar as my observation extends I have
never known a case upon which his ruling
an . Commissioner was involved where
he failed to manifest an ideal spirit of
fmparttalfty and courtesy"

FUND GROWING FAST
Nearly $40, 900 Raised for the
Aviation Meet.
BALANCE EASY TO GET
Committee Sanguine Additional
$4,000 Will Soon Be Had.
JOINT MEETING TOMORROW
Baltimore Delegation Coming Over
to Discuss Progress in Raising
That City's Share.
JOINT MEETING TOMORROW

Subscriptions to the aviation meet fund
this afternoon reached practically the
rty-thousand-dollar mark. The exact
figures were $50. 1856. with at least $50
names OF prominent business men yet to
be heard from. The committee which is
collecting this big fund says that 1t has
been the easiest money to raise that, has
ever been called for in Washington. 1t
has the additional distinction Of being all
local money, for. unlike the inaugural
fund. there has not been a cent either
asked for or contributed from the outside
1t Is considered now that the fund is
practically raised. and Washington can
apply to New York for the meet with the
distinction Of being the first city in the
country to raise a guarantee fund in
stead Of merely talking about 1t.
A meeting was held in Gen. Aliens Of
flee at the War Department this after
noon Of the Washington committee, those
present being Gen. Allen, Maj. George
o. SQuires. George Oakley Totten, Prof
Albert Zahm and Prof. Willis Moore. to
discuss the question of the site. which
VIII formally be brought up al a meet
ing to be held at the residence of Thomas
F. Walsh tomorrow.
Baltimoreans to Attend.
At tLhS IucclluS, OcSlUeS Tie members
Of the Washington committee, there will
be delegation from Baltimore. including
Col. Jerome H. Joyce. Gen. Clinton Riggs.
Justice Thomas O'Neil and Milton Bur-
CESS. 1t has not yet been announced
just now far along Baltimore has gone
In raising her $4,000 Of the guarantee
fund, but 1t Is understood that there is
enough In hand to assure the easier rails
Ing OF the remainder Of the fund.
1t is to Washington's credit that all of
the papers here have backed the move
n,ent unanimously. There has not been
the same degree of cooperation in Balt:-
more, but now that the aviation meet is
more nearly assured there will be no lack
or enthusiasm In raising the remainder OF
the money.
In all probability at the meeting to-
morrow at Mr.. Walsh's residence there
will be committee appointed to go to
New York and formally notify the Aero
Club OF America that Washington has
the fund in hand for the meet and IS
ready for the committee from New York
to look over the various sites and decide
whether this city is geographically capa-
BILE OF accommodating the aviation car
nival.
