Doubtless Invited.
TT is doubtless true" he said, that
the President to be has been invited
by a number Of representatives of the
various churches. Such word as
rivalry should not be used in this
connection. however.
I'VE would be glad in New York Ave-
nue. Church to have the President to
worship with us You know our church
has been known for years as the Church
of the Presidents by reason of the fact
that at least half dozen OF the chief
executives of the nation have worshiped
within our walls. and we naturally hope
that the list will be augmented by the
addition Of Mr.. Wilson. We are not
rivaling in the sense inferred any of our

invite both Gov. Wilson and Gov. Mar

this with the best Of feeling toward all

PORTABLE ASPHALT
PLANT IS WORKING

Section.

What may prove to be the beginning of
the taking over by the District OF all
street Improvement work is the purchase
by the local government of a portable
asphalt plant to be used for the repair
OF the capitals streets and avenues. The
plant has been acquired from Warren
Prothers Company of Boston at cost OF
$4,000, and is now being used in the
northeast section of the city, near the
Districts property yards.
heretofore street repair work has
been provided for under contract sys-
