Another school director placed him
self on record as opposing the pur.
chase of chandeliers" for a school as
he did not believe that "anybody
could play on them anyhow and they
might annoy the neighbors OF they

Representative william p. Borland

for one hour today In a plea that the
District authorities be given further
power In condemning alley property
He stated yesterday that he is In "a
vor of legislation similar to that pro-
posed in the Henry George. jr.. bill
which would allow the Commissioners
greater powers of discretion in the
condemnation of property and the as
sessment of damages. The present
system requires special legislation for
each piece of work.
Favors Housing Plan.
Mr.. Borland favors a municipal housing
plan After securing legislation giving the
District greater freedom of action IN the
condemnation of alley property, he will
introduce into Congress a bill providing
for the purchase of property. establishing
a municipal housing plan, which Is to
be based on the English loan system
Mr.. Boriand made a recent Summing
tour through twenty miles Of Capital
alleys. He was much stirred with what
he saw. He noticed the foul odors of
some of the alleys, the litter Of garbage
and filth strewn in the yards and homes
of the very poor. In one home. he saw
broken furniture and washtubs damned
into single room, reeking with evil SMELL
ing waste. and two-weeks old baby
asleep on the only bed In one corner
Some of the alley smells, Representa-
tive Borland said. were horrible" Some
of the novels were black with the dirt OF
years, he stated. He described one house
whose six rooms sheltered six families.
He said that the place had originally been
a barn and that no provision had been
made for SUFFICIENT ventilation. He stated
that anyone who had ever lived at this
place could find his way back in the dark
by its odor. which he said possessed
individuality and was very strong
The things which Mr.. Borland noted in
his tour Of the slums have decided him

cure OF the clum evil in the Capital. The

ly that never again will any star wan
der from its place in the azure field of
the greatest standard that ever ioated

work did not close. Their influence Is
felt through every channel OF the ma
tons life.
Let grief and hatred stand in the
background. overcome by the reful-
gence Of a great. splendid. new nation
unified by its baptism in blood. Sec
tionism exists no longer-the North. the
South. the East. the West have no sig
nifcance except as points of direction
and indicating the vastness of the ter
ritory embraced in one great national
brotherhood.
Through the war of the rebellion. as
a nation we have found some things.
1t brought blessings alike to the victor
and the defeated. There Is unmistak-
ably a plane of mutual respect. There
is no yoke tonight upon the defeated
other than that one which fell upon
both armies alike, namely, the obliga-
tons of the Constitution. and all laws
made in pursuance OF II. Yes. we bless
tonight the memory of our soldier dead,
who baptized the scattered States into
undying Union. The Blue and the Gray
were the actors OF the inevitable"
