there been such a Santa Claus, and
we are reaping a harvest OF hate.

FORGING AHEAD

With the accomplishment OF
many things absolutely essential
to the healthy growth and we'll
being of any city, Alexandria daily
approaches nearer to the cOverted
goal OF Greater Alexandria.
The past year has witnessed great
steps forward for commercial, in
dustrial and social Alexandria and
there is no reason to believe tina;
the coming year will not bring
forth as MANY if not more I'M
provementS than has the past
Less than year ago The
Gazette carried at its masthead 4
list of the things it considered most
essential to the city's good. OF
, this list OF thirteen, seven have al
ready been practically assured us;
one is now hanging fire because
OF some Slight technicaiity and the
remaining seven have been taken
up in some detail and promise to
become actualities in a compare
lively short time.
Washington Street Extended
has been improved; more play
grounds have been given to the
city by the Playground Assocla-
ton whose efforts along this line
have been untiring in face OF the
many difficulties encountered; gas
rates have been reduced: the Y.
Nj. c. \. building funds have been
subscribed and building site has
been purchased; the new building
to relieve the crowded condition
in the public schools is well under
way; the Great White Way will
shine out 50 that all may know
within the next sixty days and the
Little River Turnpike will be cons
pletcd by early spring. These
things have been accomplished.
Who dares to say that Alexandria
is standing still on the read to Suc-
cess and prosperity
The question OF a municipal
pier has been taken up by some OF
the live-wire organizations and
may become a reality before an
other summer season approaches.
No organized movement has
vet been launched to furnish the
additional houses and apartments
which are so badly needed to take
care Of our ever increasing popu-
lation, but many private buildings
have been erected or are now in
the course OF construction
The replacement Of the Belgium
blocks with asphalt on the road
connecting this city and Washing
ton has not been taken up and is
not of enough Importance to be
worried about.
The public park proposition has
not received considerable attention
since tt@ municipal pier wa
brought up. This ends the list a.
laid down by The Gazette
