along Florida avenue for purposes
which might destroy the beauty OF
that section between lexington place
and Sth street northeast. the North

sociation. meeting last night at the
Emery School. declared it's opposition
to a bill now in Congress favoring
extension OF railway sidings on the
tract known as square 710, which IN
cludes part of the Patterson tract.
Regarded ms Detrimental.
william Z. Henderson, chairman of
the association committee on public
utilities, who offered the resolution
against extension of the railway sid
ings, said the association had taken
action against erection of a trash
plant on Florida avenue near the in
tersection of New York avenue and
added that if railway sidings were
permitted to be extended IN that
neighborhood it would not be long
before all kinds of unwelcome indus

park would be impaired by construc7
tion of railway sidings.

sideration by the Public Utilities

quest of the Washington Rapid Tran
slt Company to extend its bus line
to Summit place and Rhode Island
avenue northeast. He said residents
of the section called Highview, In
which the new terminus would be
located. are in favor of extension Of
the bus line. The company offered to
extend its line. but permission was
refused by the Utilities Commission.

FREDERICKSBURG Va, June IS
Efforts to raise funds for the pur-
chase of the historic estate of Ken
more here. famous in the history OF
the early colonial days. and intimate
ly allied with the life of George
Washington, will be inaugurated July
8 before a distinguished gathering.
Among those who will be present at
the launching of the campaign of
$50 5000 with which to purchase the
estate and save 1t from destruction
will be Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge. Senator Carter Glass. Repre-
sentative r. Walton Moore. lFr. Kate

Association in Charge.
The campaign is being managed by
the Kenmore Association, lncorpordt-
ed. of which Mrs. V. NJ. Fleming is
president.
Kenmore was built about the middle
of the eighteenth century by Col. Field
ing Lewis for his bride. Betty Washing
ton, sister of the first President.
Many of the artistic frescoes We're de-
signed by young George Washington,
who sent there work them out two
HesSian -artSanS-captured

be the only Washington home that Is
not cared for either by a patriotic so

Eow for sale, and it is the purpose OF
the Kenmore sSociation to raise funds
and purchase it for preservation before
it is destroyed
Desires to "Save kenmore.
..It IS the desire of the Kenmore AS
socia ton of Fredericksburg. Va. 10
save Kenmore" said a statement from
the organization. because OF It's asSo-
citation with Washington. because OF us
historic interest. because of Its beau!
we are making appeal to the nation
10 help us. for its connection WIN
Washington makes it national asset
Unlike many of the noted colonial man
sions. it is easy of access on tfle DlAle
L;1hu,,- between Washington ana
Richmond, and could be made snrihe
and a memorial for all America.
