and several minutes were required
TO seat the crowd before the open

mad been made for the accommoda-

tended the show, but these prove! to
be entirely inadequate and dozens of
persons found points of vantage on
top of display cases and on the
stairs, in order to see tho wonderful
creations for spring and Summer
that were displayed ~ :he models.

, BOARD OF ALDERMEN


emf at the regular meeting last night
The only new business presented
were two resolutions, introduced BY
President Marbury, one looking To
the relief of the City's Engineers
Department in respect to the re-
moval Of ashes and trash from resi-
dences and placing such work under
the supervision of the Health De-
partment and Committee on Streets.
The other has for its object the
placing of the City Aims House un-
der the supervision of the Health
Department. These resolutions,
which will be found in the Official
proceedings, were referred to the
Committee on Streets, Health and
General Laws. Mr.. Marbury in
submitting the resolutions said:
Gentlemen i have been the re-
cipient of many complaints recently,
regarding the removal of ashes and
trash, ard I have given them con-
siderable thought. One can read
ily see that the complaints are just.
after viewing few of the alleys.
vacant lots and back yards. 1t
seems to me the amount of money
spent annually for this work is Ger
tainly sufficient to insure our citi-
zens a better and more up to date
ash and. trash removal.
In view of the above facts, am
presenting to this body for cons!dera-
ton. resolution which would re-
!ieve the City Engineers Depart
ment of the removal of ashes ard
trash and the cleaning of streets,
and place the same under the direct
supervision of the Health Depart
ment and Committee on Streets.
For a long time it has occurred to
me that the Engineers Department
has had too many responsibilities,
and certainly the time has come
when we must take some action and
equalize the work of our city, that
would insure US more efficiency.
Ny reasons for placing this work
rnder the aoa.roi o. The !icaish ''e-
aartment ~
First. i9ceia!y believe Il s II,
proper ri; = for tna responsibility

zoos L. irls body to keep the city
clean and in sanitary condition;
secondly, this department has proved
satisfactorily to our citizens, their
ability to handle matters that have
been placed in their hands.
Ny second resolution is TO pla"e
the City Aims House under the dt-
rect supervision of the Department
of Health. If ] understand correct
ly, patients are admitted to that
institution by the Mayor, after evi-
dence has been produced as. to f!nan-
clal circumstances, place OF. res
dcnce and: condition of health. The
Chairman of Committee on Poor Is
in charge of the Aims House. and i:
is his duty to see that this institr-
ton is properly conducted. Now
gentlemen, you are all familiar with
the amount it costs the city each
year to operate the poor house, also
the work you have placed on the
shoulders of the Chairman Of that
Committee, who is not a paid offlc-
ial, but one giving his time and ell
ergy for the best interests of our
city. Therefore. IN view of these
facts. while we have full! time
Health Department why not relieve
the Chairman on poor Of the re-
sponsibility and place it where more
time can be given, by persons re-
ceving salary for carrying on the
work of our city, which | am sure
would mean a saving to Alexandria.
