strengthening the opposition to the

tory Of the organization of the Board

tfon few of the benefits which the

in obtaining for Washington.
Among the benefits the Board OF Trade
has brought Washington. Mr. Edison
named the Public Library. the terminal
railroad station located where 1t now is
instead of on the Mall. the elimination OF
grade crossings. code of law for the
District of Columbia the underground
phone and telegraph. the filtration plant.
the development of the park system and
many other measures.
My- Edison illustrated the manner in
which the Board Of Trade had won sue
cess before Congress. He said that it
had been the policy of the board to select
some one important measure each year
and bend all its energies on that and he
mentioned the code of law for the Dis
trict as an instance He said that 1t was
through the officers Of the board that the
committee selected TO draft a code had
found time to- do the work
The president went to the District
Judges at that time and suggested an ad
