GOVERNMENT MAY
PAY VIRGINIA LOAN
TO GET GOOD ROAD
Debt, Of $4,000, If Settled,
Will Be Used for Mount
Vernon Boulevard.

II a provision which was agreed to by
the Senate In the general deficiency bill
last night becomes law, magnificent
boulevard will be built to connect Wash
ington and Mt. Vernon.
After some opposition, the Senate in
dorsed an amendment to the bill which
provides for the payment to the Mt.
Vernon Avenue Association of Virginia
of the $l20,000 which was loaned to the
General Government by Virginia in the
early days of the republic and never
yet repaid.
The State of Virginia has assigned its
claim to the association and the money,
II returned, is to be used for the build
ing OF the boulevard. The same amend
ment provides for returning to the State
loaned the General Government when
the young republic was started.
Bristow Fought Plan.
Senator Martin of Virginia spoke eIo-
quently for the return of the money.
Senator Bristow fought the amendment
but without success. Senator Martin
declared the amount would be expended
for the boulevard as soon as received.
He had no doubt such additional funds
as were needed would be provided and
the boulevard be built.
In the course of the discussion, SEN
ator Hepburn voiced the demand for a
good road between here and Mt. Ver-
non. He said:
II am rather glad that this amend
ment has been reported by the commit
tee, 1t$ will accomplish two good pur-
poses, 1t will get rid of this question
as to whether the Government owes
this money and 1t will, hope, result in
the building Of road over which we
may travel between Washington and Mt.
Vernon.
Good Road Needed.
Il would be willing to resort to al
most any resource for the purpose of
building that road, and 1 would be will
Ing to waive lot Of sentiment II we
could have road over which cne might
go in comfort to Mt. Vernon. I have
made the effort to get there in comfort
on more than one occasion by ordinary
methods of travel, and have not beer
able to do SO on account of the con.
dition of the roads.
II do not believe that 1t is wise at
thls time to enter into a striking of the
balance OF accounts between what Vir-
glnla has contributed to the Govern
ment and what she has cost the Gov
ernment. / would support this amend
ment In view of forever getting rid OF
this claim and that of building a re-
spectable boulevard between here and
Mt. Vernon"

good for tallies, and a base on balls
and two hits in the seventh placed
the Burgers in the lead, which they
held during the remainder of the con-
test.
Until the fifth Belts, the Quaker
City twirler had his opponents COM

lads did get next to the formers twis-
