The LID will DO clampod down tight at
the annual banquet OF the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants. December Z.
When Secretary B. W. Reiss told the
meeting OF the association last night
that $40 had been contributed for spirit
uaI'' comfort at the banquet, there start
ed an argument that resulted In the in
sertion OF the prohibition clause In the
arrangements for the celebration.
The association will be forty-five years
old December Z. and arrangements for a
suitable celebration OF the anniversary
progressed smoothly last night until Sec
rotary Reiss rose 10 state:
THE sum Of $40 has been contributed
! by two members for the purchase Of q
little beer for the banquet" Some of
the Oldest OF the Oldest Inhabitants sat
UP straight as Mr.. Weiss continued:
at think it win be perfectly all right 10
have a little refreshment Of the nature,
and / would move that the financial sec
rotary act accordingly"
Opposed tn the "stun."
I'm q Jonadab, and am against liquor
in any FORM" promptly answered Finan-
cIal Secretary Regain. II won't purchase
the stuff. as I'm absolutely opposed 70
its use"
Then the members looked from one 20
another. Who would buy? was the ques-
ton that agitated. Decided Views were
offered in the resultant discussion, which
went somewhat as follows:
| r. Sch Y
reared a prohibiuonist, said Smith VII
liams. Il won't go 70 any banquet where
liquor Is served II Is the bane OF our
nation
1T would be a different matter If there
we're lot OF young fellows going to the
banquet" said Roy Phillips. Were
rather level-headed lot OF old fellows,
and ! believe some OF US need such an
addition to our banquet menu"
'As / understand it." began another
member. this dinner"
Banquet, banquet" corrected several
voices.
This banquet" he resumed, 'ls to be
given by the association. I can see no
harm in members acting according TO
their own views IN regard 20 what shall
! constitute the menu"
Halted by Judge Bundy.
Until Acting President Bundy raped
for order the arguments were presented.
The uses and abuses and disuses of
liquors were discussed thoroughly. Then
Judge Bundy said:
This subject OF whether there shall
be liquor at our dinner. while an aca-
demic treatise, Is yet interesting. AS
there is no business before the house,
the discussion is out OF order"
Secretary Reiss then decided that.
rather than cause a split on the banquet
| question, the contributors OF the SO re-
| freshment meney would withdraw their
donations. The members acquiesced and
the banquet Will go on sans liquor, sans
discussion, sans everything but harmony
The banquet viii be held at Freund' S

CITIZENS INDORSE
MUNICIPAL PLANT
BrightwOOd Sees Chance for
More Street Lights.

Further Endorsement OF Commissioners
Judson's plan to establish a lighting
plant under municipal ownership was
given last night at a meeting OF the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association.
Although malice stiu rankles in the
hearts OF the citizens with regard to the
Engineer Commissioner removal OF
certain lights from the vicinity, mem
bers OF the association last night were
inclined to think they might be able
to get better lighting facilities IF the
District owned its OWE plant. and that
the element Of cost, on which the Com.
missioner has so heartily played, would
be eliminated, II such were the case.
Railroads running into the District
were censured for their discrimination
against shippers OF Washington, al
though no specific cases OF discrimina-
ton were mentioned.
l. p. Shoemaker. president Of the asso-
citation, said he considered the Commits
sioners were antagonistie to the interests
OF the citizens OF Brightwood. although
later he refused 10 cite any specific in
stance.
Mr.. Shoemaker Joined in the movement
for the Endorsement OF the Engineer Com
missioner's scheme for municipal light
ing plant. and aequiesced IN the general
opinion that 1t would be a mighty good
thing for the section. in view OF the re-
cent hght-reducing action OF the Districts
governing body,
Trolley roads running TO the Brightwood
section were griled for their inaction
regarding the lettering OF facilities. Car
schedules according TO a number of the
members were not as good as they should
be. and request will be sent to the
superintendent OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company for better
service.
