partments, and improved conditions

The question of establishment here
of a permanent states exhibit and an
international exposition, first advanced
by the board in 1910, was briefly dis
cussed in a resume of the report OF
which Thomas Bradley is chairman
Parks and Reservations.
President Brown briefly discussed
the recommendations of the commit
tee on parks and reservations, Judge
Charles S. Bundy, chairman, that Con-
gress appropriate funds for immediate
purchase of seven tracts of land to
complete the system of parks and
parkways virtually encircling the
MILAN plan of park development.
Suggestions in the report of the
committee on public schools designe ed
for improvement of the Districts
school system were outlined as fol-
lows: Substantial increases in sal.
aries of teachers and all other school
employees; enactment of an adequate
teachers retirement law; extension
and development of vocational train
ing work on a larger scale; provision
of more buildings, especially the pro-
posed new Eastern High School, and
number of other suggestions.
President Browns Summary.
Summarizing the matters discussed
in his report, President Brown con-
cluded thus:
taking a survey of the needs OF
the District, I find many things re-
quiring early action. and yet it seems
to me that a few stand out most
prominently. I therefore desire to
recommend that our united efforts be
promptly directed toward accomplish
ment of the following:
Securing the constitutional amend
ment for District representation in
Congress and the electoral college; to

Who sent, or who permitted to start,
that railroad motor car with trailer
which collided with passenger train
nuth Of White River Junction when it
known that the passenger train was
to pass over the iron at any mo-
ment? 1t was one of the worst blunders
in rairoading that has come TO notice in
Il long time and resulted in collision
which took only one life but which might
easily have resulted in the slaughter of
scores OF persons not only among the IL
occupants Of the motor ear equippage
but among the passengers of the train
itself Fortunately, the train maintained
its position on the iron and the lives of
all the people on the train were saved /;
but the motor car equippage was bent
and torn with one victim caught in the
midst of the tangle Even if the motor
crew were started out on their own ini-
tiative it was a serious reflection on the
methods of railroading on that line.

assume that air But ex-senator Lewis
has followed standard of conscientious
