PLANS TO CONTINUE
LIGHTS ON AVENUE
Board of Trade Committee to
Seek Data and Report at
the Next Meeting.

The feasibility of continuing the bril-
liant illumination of Pennsylvania
avenue in it's present form or in some
other more desirable form will be con-
sidered in detail by a Chamber Of
Commerce committee composed of ID.
j. kaufman, Chaplin Brown, and r. p.
Andrews, and this committee will re-
port to the next meeting of the execu-
tive committee If the chamber.
The sentiment at the meeting of the
Chambers board of directors last niEhS
in favor of continuing the illumination
In some form. was practically unanimous,
and II was also suggested that + street
from Ninth to Fifteenth streets be
properly illuminated
When the matter was brought up f.
P. Andrews wanted to know whether
the illumination was to be continued
under contract with Baltimore firm.
From Powers "Higher Up"
William F. GUIDE, chairman of the in
augural illumination committee, stated
that from powers higher up had come
the instruction to his committee that
a certain kind of cable should be used.
and that the Baltimore firm was the
only one from which this kind OF cable
could be obtained Mr. GUIDE said he
did not know why this special sort of
gural committee had sent the instruc-
ttons and 1t was not In his power to
change them. Mr.. GUIDE also stated
that the Baltimore bid was much lower
than the lowest washington bid.

cluded preparations for the entertain
ment Of the brotherhood of Locomotive
Fremen and Engineers in June: an ap-
propriation Of 500 toward entertaining
