Alexandria County, in 1910. At Bladensburg
Benjamin Stoddert converted a min into gum
powder factory. Fire destroyed the plant, but
another was built in 1913 on the Potomac Canal
about three miles from Georgetown, and after
several years the BladenSburg enterprise was
revived by other parties.

Certainly his plant enters Importantly into the
history of gun making in the new Republic At
this Georgetown foundry most of the heavy
guns used in the War Of 1912 were cast. Foxan
made the first bored guns manufactured in this
country. Drawn across country to the Great
Lakes during the critical period when England
was supreme on those inland seas, the Foxall
guns helped to equip Perry so well that he was
able to change decisively the situation on the
Great Lakes. After Mr.. Foxall's death the
foundry passed under the direction of Gen. John
Mason and was known as the Columbian Foun-
dry. 1t was enlarged. and here most Of the
heavy guns used in the Mexican War were cast.
THAT the Navy Yard was an important ship
building certer was indicated by the number Of
rope making establishments that hourished as
private industries in the vicinity. From the
rope walk of Richard Parrot. on the north
side of street near the head of Thirtieth
street came the ropes that were used on the
frigate President in the year 1907 At that
time washington had two rope making estab-
lishments-that managed by Tench Ringgold
and Nathaniel E. Heath, at Third, Fourth, 1
and K streets southwest. and that of John
Chalmers, on Greenleaf'S Point.

There are ever so many questions now that
the census enumerator must ask that he did not
have to ask few years back. Fifty years ago
he did not ask you II you owned an automobile.
The question then would have been, How many
horses do you own?" And, incidentally, half q
century ago the ratio of horses to the popula-
ton was likely even greater than the ratio Of
automobiles is today. for then there was about
one horse to every five people in the United
States.

q capital of 100000 began to do business at
Barrys Wharf, at the foot of New Jersey ave-
nue.. 1t did well for some years. and in 1915
increased its capital. Georgetown CONNER
cial company with capital OF 100000 came
into existence in that year. Neither company
had very bright prospects, however, and a few
years later the Washington enterprise failed.
Et'TNHE interference with American shipping
during the Napoleonic period, with the
embargo and stoppage of imports drew the
attention Of patriots and practical Americans
to the necessity that existed of developing
American manufacturing industries. The City
Council of washington in 1908 recommended
that members wear only homespun when they
paid visit to the President on the Fourth of
July. This spirit encouraged some promoters to
organize the Columbia Manufacturing Co. for
making cotton, WOOL hemp and fax, and the
promotion of such other domestic manufac-
lures as may be thought advisable The COM

mention the recent District bill as passed by
Congress- carrying approximately $45,78l O0O of
which Congress provided as its shaya $500, 600.
In a statement before the writer it is said
that the total expenditures made by the Gov-
eminent in washington up to 1922 for building
and rebuilding public structures and for all
other expenses pertaining to the city $3,288, 126
was expended, of which SASH ,016.35 was de-
rived from State donations, sale of lots, and
represented in unsold lots and public reserva-
tons retained for public purposes, and the COM
piler of the report further says
From this view of the expenditures Of the
United States within the City of Washington
it will be perceived that if the expense of re-
building the public buildings which were de-
stroyed in August 1914, be deducted from the
whole amount of the expenditures the amount
of money actually received by the agents of the.
United States in consequence of locating the
seat of Government in the place in which it is
now administered added to the value of the
public property remaining undispoSed of in the
City of washington (and the value has been
fixed by the public agents themselves), the
amount will not only have been sufficient to
reimburse the public Tresasry in all the expenses
consequent upon the removal to and the eStab-
hshment of the Government in this city, but
that fund would have remained of $374,500."

BEST TIME TO BUY,
PUBLIC IS ADVISED
Prices Noted at Attractive Level
by Official of Operative Build
ers' Association.

Discussing business conditions in
Washington in a radio address last
night, Rufus S. Lusk, executive secre-
tary of the Operative Builders Associa-
ton, said that this is the best time to
buy that has existed in several years.
Mr.. LuSk, who is president of Rufus
S. Lusk, Inc, declined to express an
opinion as to when the depression in
business would be at an end, but he was
emphatic in citing signs which he said
are helpful and indicate that we must
be near or at the bottom and from now
on things will begin to get better"
Speaking over station WJSV, Mr.
Lusk pointed out that money rates are
low, the banks have ample deposits,
commodity prices have dropped consid-
erably and the surpluSes of various
kinds of manufactured articles are being
used up, so that it must follow that in
the not distant future in order to supply
our people with needed goods there
must be an increase of production"
Discussing the Washington market
particularly, Mr.. Lusk said inquiries at
local department stores disclosed that
price reductions are the order in vari-
Gus lines of goods. These reductions do
not represent sales, but the everyday
prices, he said.
Suggesting that when jobs are scarce
the men who get them do better work,
the speaker advocated that husbands
and housewives contract now for needed
work on the home You will get your
work done cheaper than you would have

SANITATION BOARD
WANTS RAZING POWER
Claim Dilapidated and Unsanitary
Buildings Should Be Torn
Down as Health Measure.

The Board for the Condemnation of
Insanitary Buildings, in its annual re-
port yesterday, recommended to the
District Commissioners an amendment
Of the law so as to extend its authority
to raze buildings found to be dilapidated
and insanitary.
AT present the property owners must
be repaid for the buildings razed. A
model law is being prepared by Cor
poration Counsel William w. Bride, the
report stated.
During the past fiscal year there were
$50 buildings condemned, of which rs
were in alleys, the report said OF those
condemned, EOS were RACED, 100 were
repaired and the status of the remain
der was undecided at the close of the
fiscal year. There are 800 buildings
awaiting future condemnation The
value of the repairs made to save con-
demned buildings was $58,175.

new POST OFFICE
SITE REPORT DUE
Department Building, Next
to Be Erected, May Be
Started in Spring.

The new Post ONCE Department
Building appeared to be drawing closer
to reality today when it was learned
that the Condemnation Commission is
expected to make its report to the
court shortly on the acquisition of the
site bounded by Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, B and Pennsylvania avenue.
The Post once Department will occupy
about three-fourths Of this area, while
another building, whose occupant has
not yet been decided, will occupy the
south quarter on B street.
The squares at issue are four in num-
Der and are known as squares 1872, 293,
294 and 295. The Government has pur-
chased outright a small amount of the
property in this area, but most of it is
to be acquired through the process of
condemnation.
Architects Draw Plans.
Meantime, plans for the new Post
ONCE Department Building are pro-
ceeding steadily in the hands of the
architectural firm of Delano q Aldrich
of New York City. Several conferences
have been held between this firm and
officials Of the Post once and the
Treasury Departments.
The general status Of the whole
project was described today at the
treasury dS OclLiS III oAAoPC ~ 1AAoN ~
is hoped that buildings can be torn
down on the site and start made on
the excavation and foundations at least
early next year, probably in January.
Plans for the building show that IL
is to be one of the most unusual Struc-
lures in the Government triangle. 1t is
to lie along Pennsylvania avenue, from
Twelfth to Thirteenth streets, and ex-
tend three-quarters of the way south
ward in that area toward B street. The
southern part of the Post once Build
ing will be concave on both sides, facing
the grand plaza and the Department OF
Commerce on the west and the great
circle and the already constructed In
ternal Revenue Bureau Building on the
east. This concave portion Is monu-
mental in design and of classic archi-
lecture, one of the outstanding features
of the whole Government triangle.
Will BE Next Structure.
The new Post ONCE Department is
to be the next building to rise in the
Federal triangle following the completed
Revenue Building and the great De-
partnent of Commerce structure which
is nearing completion.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the once of the Controller
General of the United States have been
mentioned for the other building In the
square.
