EXPERT BAREFOOT
WILL NOT DEFEND
HIS REPORT
With No Support From the Commit
tee of Fifty, He Doesn't Feel
Called Upon To Confront D. U.
Rs Battery of Legal Talent.
Official, Now Stunned by His Bosses,
Wants the Publics
Support.

Frederick c. Bancroft. consulting en-
eineer. former railroad man and mem
Der OF American Society OF Civil En-
Kineers, having finished his appraisal
of the physical property OF the ID. u.
R.-a snug years chore, by-the-by-is
getting acquainted with some OF his
fellow-citlzens. He knows the ap-
praisal committee OF the fifty" OF
which Joseph Boyer Is chairman and
true-blue. and he has had their stanch
cooperation and encouragement right
along. but he has never had the honor
Of the acquaintance, contact with or
approval OF the committee OF fifty. He
feels sure OF the existence OF such q
body, for certain OF Its spokesman d.
rectly after the distant coterie was
created, took him to the summit OF the
delectable mountains and pictured
what q brief and glorious diversion II
would be for a prideful citizen like
Himself TO invite some of his engineer
ing comrades here and find out what
the street railway property was worth.
Besides the fame attaching to this
holiday pastime. something was said
about an automobile ride about the
worlds fairest city, followed by a
banquet.
Well, the committee OF fifty has the
report. Bancroft Is sure OF that, for
he got wire from the mayor at Buff
!alo that same was received In good
condition. He also has an invitation
10 appear at a meeting OF the commit
tee OF fifty next Monday evening In the
council chamber and explain to the
platoon OF corporation lawyers there
assembled why the ID. u. X. refuses
20 grow wildly enthusiastic over his
valuations; also why said valuations
should not be literally inflated, and
finally, why q milestone should not
lie attached to the Bancroft neck and
he be dropped of the dock.
But no banquet.
Those things convince the appraiser
that there is committee OF fifty and
that the committee Of fifty has the
bound volume embracing his years
labors. But he doesn't think he'll go
to that meeting Monday night as . to-
fender of something the committee or
nfty does not appear to be eager 10
defend; leastwise, outside OF the ap-
praisal committee. they have given no
overwhelming evidence the past year
that an honest, accurate and impartial
appraisal is what they want. Plenty
OF evidence might be adduced that this
Is what they didn't want, tried TO head
OK and sought to influence first ana
later to punish the experts who per-
sisted in getting together trustworthy
abuIations and satistics- So why
should he undertake to convince his
clients (supposed to be representing
the people) and at the same time with
stand sinslehanded the onslaught of
the corporations legal battery. with
Cut any sign from those he serves as
TO what Use is to be made OF the APP
bi aisal and without any brief from the
u. U. r. covering the points to be con-
troverted.
They have the Judge. the jury and

points they have been preparing lot

A MOVEMENT FORWARD

Friday is Alexandria g universal house
cleaning day. The Mayors proc anna
ton makes it the duty OF every citizen
TO cooperate In this movement, which is
not only an effort towards cleanliness,
but it is a most valuable movement for
public health. The offsl or 6ltn which
is carelessly thrown from the kitchen or
store into the backyard or alley, be-
comes breeding place for disease. 1t
attracts flies and other insects and gives
ont foul odor. This cannot be healthy,
and even If it were harmless, an alley or
yard into which has been thrown ashes,
refuse trash, and waste OF all kinds Is Of
fensive aud undesirable. On Friday this
will ell be removed free of cost for those
who wish to clean up. 1t IL earnestly
desired, in the interist alike OF puolc
health and safety, comfort and CIVIC
beauty that every householder or tenant
in the city shall unite and cooperate In
this plan for a spotless town
All are cordially invited TO attend the
public meeting Of the Civic Improve
ment League, at the Young People
Building, Thursday night at. eight
O'Clock. Slides will be shown that must
prove of interest to every citizen OF this
city, especially to those who wish 10 see
Alexandria not only Virginia's most HE
toric town but also her most progressive
city.
