Story of the Big Cost" Told in Has
kin'S Book.

The estimates for the appropriations for
the next fiscal year, recently submitted
to Congress, called for more than a. billion
dollars of money. Only twenty years ago
some economists We're greatly shocked
because of the extravaganza Of a "bil-
lion-dollar congress"
THE billion-dollar Congress-" when
Tom Reed was Speaker, appropriated a
billion dollars during it's whole life; that
is, an average of five hundred million a
year When Reeds political enemies
hurled their maledictions upon his head,
he laconically replied: This is a billion
dollar country.
Now, less than twenty years after, there
is no astonishment when Congress appro-
pirates billion dollars a year, and there
is none to revile a two billion-dollar
Congress-
spread out over many items, and it re-
mains a fact that the one greatest eX-
penditure of this wealthy republic was the
1915 100000 devoted to the construction of

Mid-City Citizens As
sociatiOn.

Describing the work of the Street
Safety Association, and pointing out the
numerous street accidents occurring daily
in this city, William F. Peabody presi-
dent of that association, last night ad-
dressed the Mid-city Citizens Association
at I; meeting at 1909 9Th street northwest.
Mr.. Peabody told his hearers that it
was the purpose of his association to
educate the people in street safety. He
told of the people killed or injured on the
streets of Washington each year and de
clared that the remedy for such condi-
tions was the rigid enforcement of the
traffic regulations. He said it is the pur-
pose of the association to get the children
interested in street safety and that al
ready instructions along that line are
being given in some of the schools.
Herbert j. Browne OF the Tax Reform
Association also delivered an address, in
which he told of the motives of the Tax
Reform Association. He cited various as
sessments of parcels of real estate in the

IN AHEAD OF THE GALE.
Arrival of Eight Oyster Boats
Averts Shortage at Wharf

threatened shortage in the supply of
oysters at the 18th street wharf was
averted by the arrival Sunday and sun
day night of q fleet of eight vessels with
oysters aboard from the lower Potomac
beds. In all the eight vessels brought
over 2,Jno bushels of oysters, and in spite
Oh the blustery weather Of YESTERDAY the
demand for them was good at prices
ranging from about 40 cents a bushel for
ordinary stock up to ~ and 60 cents for
selects.
1t is thought the heavy northerly gale
prevented the oyster dredSe boats working
Yesterday and forced the to seek harbor
This will prevent the boats now down
river from loading. and it may he the lat
ter part of this week before the suppiv
OF oysters at the wharf is augmented by
the arrival of other boats. If this condi-
ton does prevail it is probable that oys-
ters will advance in price before the end
of the week.
The coming OF cod weather is making
the masters of the oyster run boats think
OF running through ice, and should the
weather remain cold and snow come they
VIII start putting their craft in condition
for navigating the frozen river Those
whose boats have hulls covered with
metal will see that it is sound, and others
Will arrange to cover hulls with an out

SAILING FLEET IN PORT.
Fifteen Vessels Took Advantage of
Sundays Southerly Winds.

Taking advantage of the strong south
erly winds that blew Sunday, a fleet of
fifteen lumber, cord wood, oyster and
otherwise laden vessels came into port
and made good harbor before the heavy
northwest winds began TO blow The ar
rival of the fleet filed vacant berths at
the lumber and wood wharves and made
the harbor look like a busy place, though
little work was done yesterday the
stevedores finding 1t too cold to work out
of doors in taking cargoes off the ves-
sells.
Today some few went to work and
the unloading OF the vessels was started
In the arriving fleet We're four lumber
laden craft, three with cord wood. one
with potatoes. five with oysters barge
with coal and another with railroad ties
Many of the vessels now In port will not
revisit this city this winter, the masters
OF the vessels being unwilling to come
up the long river and take chances OF a
cold snap coming and of ice making and
holding them prisoners for several weeks.
