OF AUTOMOBILIsTS.
Will Assemble in Rooms Of the Cham
Der of Commerce Tonight at
Eight O'clock

A meeting of automobile owners
will be held in the rooms OF the
,Chamber Of Commerce at s o'clock
tonight for the purpose of taking
steps toward bringing about reci-
procity between the authorities Of
the District of Columbia and the
state of Virginia in regard TO require
ments of owners Of autos who operate
the same in the Cd Dominion and
the District of Columbia.
Ninety-seven persons residing in
Alexandria and on her suburbs are
owners of automobiles, and they rep
resent about one hundred and twenty
five machines.
AS has been stated in the Gazette,
Governor Mann is being petitioned
through several sourceSto grant rec
iprocity in the matter of automobile
licenses between the state Of Virginia
and the District of Columbia. A peti'
ton to this effect is now before the
gvernor from Thos. Lion, common
.wealth's attorney for Prince William
county, and also another from Vernon
Ford, Of Fairfax county.
These officers urge the governor tc
establish reciprocal relations between
Virginia and the District of Column
bia in the issuance of automobile Ii
censes, as many citizens living in
Washington own country homes on
this side of the Potomac in Virginia
and desire to motor to ana from their
Offices.
1t has been pointed out at the office
of secretary of the commonwealth in
Richmond that certain legal difi1cu
ties present themselves in the matter
proposed. 1t is also shown that a
wide discrepancy exists in the license
tax. In the District of Columbia, an
automobile tax costs only 81 and is
perpetual, while in Virginia there
exists an annual tax ranging from So
to $50.

HOUSES BUILT FROM ASHES.
Washington Poured House System
Widely Adopted.

The Coal Age" Of May 3lst. de-
scribcs and illustrates at length The
Concrete City" the latest achievement
in the crusaie for sanitary houses
If low rental on account Of their IN
dcstructible permanent character.
This new system Of house building
was invented by Milton Dana Morrill,,
an architect of this city. Some
twenty different style houses were
first poured at Virginia Highlands
across the Potomac This site on the
Virginia Hills was selected on account
Of its nearness % the cityI; the a"
price Of land. and the fact that SAM
and gravel necessary for concrete
could here be excavatcd from the Gel
lar The low cost at which these per-
manert attractive houses could be
mlilt and sold has created great de-
mart for property and rapid up
ibuiiding has followed. This new con-
struction seemed to fill need in IN
dustrial housing as well as in subur-
ban development.

Presidents Marbury and
Brumback Fail to Reach
An Agreement.
NO COUNCIL TONIGHT.
Propositions Provide for License Tax
of $3.50 in Fulure-Hang Fire OIL In
itial Increase.

As had been feared, the conferen-
ces yesterday and this morning be-
tween F. + Marbury, President OF
the Board of Aldermen, and K. ID.
Brumback, President of the Common
Council, concerning the provisions OF
the new license ordinance have sign
aly taied, an dthe two boards are as
far apart as when they adjourned at
the last regular meeting on the Sec
ond TUESDAY in May.
The two Presidents met yesterday
afternoon but failed TO reach a con
cusion. and the conference was re-
newc. again this morning with no
better result Hence from present in
dica.ions no meeting Of Council vii!
be held tonight.
The President of the Board of Al
drcmen submitted the propositions
ma by a conference committee OF
that board at the special meeting
last Friday night. but President
Brumback was confident the lower
board would remain firm and stand
by It's action Of the last meeting.
Il was hoped that some definite
plan looking to breaking the deadlock
would be formulated which could be
accepted by majority of both
boards, but, as had been anticipated
by those who looked upon the issue in
uessimistic manner, such hopes
ii.avc, for the time being, been shat
tered. The subject will come up again
at the next regular meeting on Tues
day night. hu tthc outcome is as much
subject of speculation now as ever.
Nr. Marbury, on behalf of the
Board of Aldermen proposes that the
license tax on iquor dealers be in
rrea scd $50 this year, 500 next year
and so on until the tax shall have
reached $3.50.
; Mr. Brumback. on the part Of the
Common Council. suggests that the
license upon such dealers be increased
800 this year. $50 next and further
increases made year by year until the
tax shall have reached $3.50. This
proposition, he believes, vii he agreed
upon by his board.
{ Mr.. Marbury's proposition is en-
dorscd by Alderman Field, chairman
of the finance committee. and the
members of the board say they vii!
endorse any agreement Mr.. Marbury
may reach.
! The trouble which confrOnts both
parties is the fact that future Coun-
ellis cannot be bound by any agree
rmcnt the present city atherS may
arrive at, and the same issue IS
! likely to be raised after the presen:
/ Council shall have adjourned sine
! die.
