MOUNT VERNON AVENUE
ASSOCIATION

Our esteemed fellow-citlzen,
Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow, of the Mt.
Vernon Highway Association, has
called our attention to the fact
that in Our news columns of Tues
day there were omitted from the
list of the associations directors
in.Alexandria, the names OF Rob
ert S. Barrett and Frank /. King,
and from the list of Washington
directors, the names of J. f. Rice,
manager of the Washington Her
aid, and Col, Robert w. Harper,
president of the District National
Bank. We desire to call attention
in this connection, to a public
spirited letter from w. B. Smoot,
published in today's' columns,
which is an indication of the feel
ing that should prevail among
those citizens who have the best
interest of Alexandria and her en-
viroifs at heart. Certainly no
worthier project could be con
templated than this great highway
from the nations capital to the
nations shrine. We feel conf
dent, from the personnel of the
directorate and executive body of
the association, that success is as
sured and that Mr.. Harlow, who
has worked so indefatigably for
nigh half-a-century, will see his
labors richly rewarded in the not
distant future.

Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow,
Alexandria, Va,
My dear M Harlow:
1 write to congratulate you on
YOUR good work in keeping up the
organization of the Mount Vernon
Avenue Association and believe
YOUR faithful work for nearly forty
wears in connection with this patrio-
tic enterprise will soon be appreci-
ated by all good American citizens
when they fully understand the I'M
portance of the memorial bridge and
Mount Vernon Avenue connecting
Washington City, Arlington and
Mount Vernon by one grand ave
nue..
I think you will agree with me
in saying that it was practically
the same organization of good citi-
zens that made the Washington
Monument Association success IN
securing the grand site on "Shoot-
ers Hill" for the Masonic Memorial
to General George Washington now
under construction by the Masonic
organization of the country for
which all of us feel grateful to our
good friend the late Alexander D.
Wedderburn, who was untiring N
his efforts in securing this wonder
full site for this grand monument
to General Washington.
Whenever 1 can be of any service
TO YOU in this noble work it Will
give me pleasure to serve IN any
way possible.
Sincerely,

CLEAN UP
WASHINGTON
BOULEVARD
PLAIN WORDS

The Gazette mas referred 10 tIlC
shocking conditions existent on
the highway to Washington IN
> these columns more than once. 1t
has long been a matter OF great
embarrassment for AleXandrlanS
and their families to attempt to so
TO the capital by automobile after
nightfall. The road as one APP
breaches the Potomac becomes one
continuous panorama of lmmor-
ality and degradation.
Now, the question is, how can
this disgraceful state of affairs be
remedied? Whose business is 1t
to take steps to wipe out this lnl-
quitous situation and restore Our
neighboring territory to a state or
comparative decency.
AS we understand it, there are
three jurisdictions involved; the
city Of Alexandria, the county OF
Arlington, and the United States
Government. AS Alexandria Is
the most deeply concerned, per-
hapS, it would seem that this city
should take the initiative We are
going to suggest several steps, one
or all OF which would be in the
right direction, and if not immed-
lately effective would lead to
measures that were. Suppose, Tor
instance, our city council were to
determine on an investigation, and
if it found that it had jurisdiction
over any part OF the highway IN
volved, take immediate steps to
properly police that part. The
matter is worth a special session
of that body-at any rate. Then
the Chamber of Commerce, one
OF the prime objects OF which is
the welfare OF Alexandria, should
likewise appoint a committee to
investigate and report conditions
and recommend remedies. Then,
later, if these measures failed, or
were not even adopted. the clergy
of the city should take the mat
ter up and urge their parish
toner's to call 4 maSS-meeting to
consider the demoralizing condi-
tions prevailing on the boulevard
to Washington. Having done
our duty to our own territory,
then resolutions from the different
civic bodies and churches could be
forwarded to the authorities of
Arlington county and to the
proper Department OF the L. S
Government, Tor their conSidera-
ton and action.
We feel sure that the result
would be the cleansing up OF a
situation that is almost unbeliev-
able at this day.
Perhaps there are other meth
. DDS wiser and more effective. ii
so. the Gazette would be glad 10
learn of them. As we remarked
once before, the entire citizenship
is TO blame in matters of this sort.
The Gazette's duty is to give pub
hcity on all such occasions, and
il has no desire to Shirk or avoid
