Avenue to M.

Directing the attention of the Dis
trict Commissioners to "deplorable
condition" of the paving on NJ street
the whole length of Georgetown, the
Georgetown Citizens Association last
night urged immediate repair of the
thoroughfare in resolutions adopted
at a meeting in Potomac Savings
Bank Hall.
President ]. A. Oliver, who intro
duced the resolution, declared that
the surface of NJ street from Penn
sylvania avenue to Wisconsin ave
nue. and farther looked like ''ths
craters on the moon There is no
room left for more holes, he said. The
president pointed out that the Com
missioners needed but one ride over
the street to convince them that re-
pairs are needed at once.
Appeal TO Senator.
The association also reaffirmed its
contention that Wisconsin avenue
should be paved. Il. A. Bowles, vice
chairman Of the public improvements
committee, announced that he had
sent a letter TO Senator phipps, chair
man of the subcommittee on District
appropriations, explaining the neces-
sity for this improvement by stating
that the avenue is the only thorough
fare leading from Georgetown di-
rectly into Montgomery and Freder-
ick counties, Maryland Except for
the Wisconsin end of this main ar
terry no hindrance to commerce is met,
the letter stated.
The Commissioners were congratu-
lated on the promotion of Daniel
Sullivan to be chief Of police and for
other police promotions, which were
in keeping with the policy of home
rule 1" in a resolution introduced by
J. Hadley Doyle. The same resolu-
tion indorsed the action of the Com
missioners in handling the Knicker-
booker Theater disaster and in sub
sequently closing other places or
public amusemene found to be unsafe.
The members voted for this unani-
mously.

Interest of Washingtonians in the

made subscriptions. Among these
was one from Miss Mabel 7. Board

CONVENTION HALL
Robert N. Harper, Committee
Chairman, Sees Hope Real
lied in Eight Months.

With prompt action on the part Of
Washington investors there is every
reason to believe that Washington can
have its much needed and long desired
Convention Hall at the end of eight
months, Robert N. Harper. chairman
OF the Washington Auditorium organiza-
tion committee, said In a statement to-
day, outlining progress made in the
work and plans for the future.
At the close of the meeting of the
organization committee in the gridiron
room Of the New Willard Hotel last
night reports from team captains and
a survey Of subscriptions to the prof.
ect showed that S437.0 900 in cash and
pledges had been received.
Speed Is Important.
1T is Of extreme importance that the
FUND should be completed at once"
said Chairman Harper today. "Since
the bond and stockholders are to have
the first lien upon the land and other
assets of the company, it will be neces-
sary to pay cash for the land. While
the land is to cost s122.00O the COM
mittee will Immediately require $50, 900
in order to proceed with the incorpora-
ton of the Washington Auditorium Com
pany. The stock and bonds must be
subscribed to at once in full, SO that
the erection of the auditorium may be
proceeded with right away. Payment
on subscriptions to the stock and bonds
will cover a period of six months"
Il certainly want to congratulate
the ladies and gentlemen who have
labored SO hard and earnestly in this
cause" he continued. 1T will be a
monument to every one and certainly
to each investor because bronze
tablet in the lobby will for all time
proclaim the names of the firms and
individuals who have invested their
dollars that Washingtpn's great need
may be met.
Donation In No Sense.
Il don't think we can reiterate too
often that the convention hall project
is in no sense a donation, since every
investor will receive half of their in
vestment in first mortgage bonds pay
ing 5 per cent interest and the other
so per cent in common stock which
we believe will pay substantial re-
turn on the investment.
"Overtures have been made to turn
this movement into a theater project.
Out-of-town interests have offered to
take it off our hands. But, the first
purpose Of this building is to house
conventions. If we had it today a
handsome revenue could be derived
