night. were urged by Lee r. Wilson.
chairman OF the Legislative committee,
to continue their hght against the Bor-
land law, which assesses part OF the
cost OF street Improvements on the
abutting property owners.
Mr.. Wilson told the members. how
ever, that II thcunited efforts OF all
the citizens association OF the city
should fail to have the Borland law re-
voked. the people of Brookland should
not hamper the physical development
of their commupity by refusing to con-
sent to IMPROVEMENTS for which they
would have to pay part.
THE macadam roadways now being
laid by the District are of very good
quality" said Mr.. Wilson. Some OF
our streets out here are models OF per-
feet roadbuilding. The cost to the prop
erty owner is about so cents a running
foot, or $40 for the average ffty-foot
lot. You have Ave years In which to
pay for your Improvement, which Is

that much for good street In front OF

Corporation Counsel Conrad H..
syme, in an address before the
Brlghtwood Citizens Association last
night. spoke particularly of the prog
ress being made In the valuation Of
the public utilities. and on the in
tangible tax. He said the prima facie

Public Utilities Commission. contain

completed before the commission By

counting and engineering disvisions

I Bemis to. finish these important ele.
ments of valuation. lie asserted that
the balance of the cases TO be placed
before the commission could be easily
and promptly done, and that as soOr
as the side of the public utilities
! themselves had been presented. the
I commission could proceed to deter

! In speaking of the intangible tax. he
said he had taken particular paing. tc

/ tax would fall. He found that IT wa'

But today he had no signs OF dis
composure or disappointment.
no one has been greater factor IN
maintaining a smooth balance In the
Hughes camp than Mrs. Hughes
her husbands adviser, comforter, and
constant companion in all the hard
work of the campaign.
One thing that Hughes has told his
friends warmed his heart greatly was
the handsome majority which his
own home state of New York accord
cd him.
Neither Hughes nor his personal stan
have yet conceded Wilson's election.
They are waiting for the official count.
They are particularly Interested In the
enormous Increase In California's total
vote, and IL Is understood that a quiet
investigation Is now under way In re-
gard to this,
Mr.: and Mrs. Hughes probably will
remain at the Astor Hotel for several
days. and then will depart for some
quiet spot nearby to rest. 1T In prob
able they will go to Montclair. N. j.,

revived concerning Secretary McAdoo.
Considerable speculation exists as TO
the probable successor OF Secretary Of
War Baker, who II from Ohio. Mr..
Baker has announced his purpose to re-
sign on March 4. 1t is assumed on &C
count OF the tremendous victory OF the
President In Ohio. that that State Will
be given the same or an equally impor-
tant place In the Cabinet.
Influence Was Similar.
The general impression has prevailed
since the outset of the present Admin
istration that the same reasons which
dictated the naming Of William ]. Bryan
as Secretary of state at the beginning
Of the Administration Influenced the
President to name Josephus Daniels, one
Of Mr.. Bryan's most loyal followers. TO
the position of Secretary Of the Navy.
Mr.. Daniels has been assailed by
critics OF the Administration more than
Mr.. Bryan resigned. but his friends
have stoutly defended him on the
ground that. regardless OF all that has
been said OF the North Carolinian, more
been made during the time ne has been
In office. than under any previous Sec
retary of the Navy. The President him
self has on several occasions gone out
Of his way TO defend Mr.. Daniels and
trusted confidantes.
Health May Determine.
Whether Secretary Of State Lansing
VIII hold his post is believed to be large
ly "a question of his health. The Presi-
dent is known to hold him In high cs-
TEEN. but as a result OF the tremendous
pressure of work that has fallen on the
State Department as a result of the Eu-
ropean War and the Mexican situation,
Mr.. Lansings health has on several oc-
casions given way under the strain.
For some time II has been thought
Secretary Redfield will retire on March
4. although there has been no specula-
ton as to the Identity of his successor.
1t Is assumed that Vance Mccormick,
of Pennsylvania, who managed the
campaign, might. IL his friends insist
have a place in the new portfolio. but
this Is discounted somewhat by the
likelihood that Pennsylvania, which al
ready has one representative In the
Cabinet-Secretary Of Labor Wilson
went heavily Republican, will not bs
given another. and likewise by the
proba bility that Secretary Wilson, who
Is n close friend OF President Gompers
of the American Federation OF Labor
will be kept in office In recognition OF
the support given the President by the
federation in the recent campaign.
The most pressing matter of legis-
lation confronting the President Ii
to have Congress enact at once the
remaining features of the program
which he proposed for a settlement
| OF the threatened railway strike and
| to avoid future strikes, including
the bill to create an arbitral board
