chemical engine company in that suburb,
and severely criticised the subcommittee
of the House which was responsible for
the insertion of this item. He said
that he had made several attempts to
ascertain why this was to be done. but
had been unable to find any reason for
the action. He said to take the COM

injury to the citizens of that vicinity
who paid taxes on their property in
equal proportion to any in the District
