OFFER TO GIVE ICE
FOR CITY FOUNTAINS

Upon condition that their names are
not made public, the Commissioners re-
ceived today from several philan-
thropic residents of Washington an
offer to furnish free ice for the pub
lie drinking fountains. Four foun-
tains in the District are provided
with ice retainers, their location be-
ing at Seventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest. Pennsylvania
avenue between Thirteenth and Four
teenth street northwest, Eighth street
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
and Seventh street and Mt. Vernon
place northwest
Acceptance probably will be made of
the offer to supply ice at these foun-
tains. There being no funds available
for the installation of additional re-
tainers. the offer cannot be accepted to
include all of the fountains in Wash
ington. The cost of installation is
about $500 each.
Through the generosity of a citizen
who insisted that his name be not made
public, free ice was furnished the Cogs-
well fountain, at Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue, during the sum-
mer of 1911 The present donors say the
money is provided and they are only
waiting the approval of the Commits
sioners.

The appeals committee, in reporting,

Of this report precludes any hope
that the convention will be able to

brotherhood will put itself on record
as regards the proposed amendments
to the Erdman act, and the Suther-

1t is generally conceded that the
brotherhood will oppose amendments
to either of these bills. The Erdman
act is considered satisfactory as II

that the Sutherland bill would work
