CITIZENS PLEASED
IN CUPO[A BATTLE
Association Is Congratulated
for Successful Fight.
Friends Are Thanked.

Elation over its victory in securing
the much-discussed cupola atop the
Taft Junior High School permeated the
meeting of the Burroughs Citizens As
sociation last night at John Burroughs
School.
The report of the "Cupola Commit
tee" pointed out that the association
has headed the fight for certain archi-
tectural features of the proposed build
ing since January II. 1891, under the
direction of r. l.. Gilbert, chairman of
the committee and during the regimes
of three administrations of the aSSo-
citation.
But" it was pointed out by E. G..
Sievers, president of the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association, which CO.
operated in the drive for retention of
the cupola in the plans. Il believe the
cupola in itself is not so important as
the fact that we of this territory have
proved we are able to act effectively
for those things we want"
Congratulated Association.
Henry Gilligan. member of the Board
of Education. congratulated the aSso-
citation and those who co-operated with
it on the achievement. A model of the
cupola, used in recent parade, was on
the stage before the meeting.
The Fine Arts Commission, American
Institute of Architects, the Board of
Education. the District Commissioners
and all other organizations which aided
and co-operated in the cupola contro-
versy were thanked by resolutions
passed at the meeting, and a suggestion
will be made by the association to the
Engineer Commissioner that as a fur
ther feature a light be placed in the
Cupola, to be Illuminated on such occa-
SiOnS when community functions are
being held in the new building. The Star
and other newspapers also were COM
mended for their part in securing the
retention of the cupola plans.
Inasmuch as nothing has been said
about the retention of the limestone
facing, which was in the original plans,
but which it was proposed to eliminate
with the cupola. the association moved
to retain the Cupola Committee and ask
the committee to ascertain what steps
are to be taken by authorities to retain
or eliminate that architectural feature.
Plan Coal Probe.
]. M. Stockard, president. was au-
thorized to appoint a committee to in
vestigate the marketing of coal in the
city. The president pointed out this
was to be a fact-finding rather than a
fault finding committee.
Steps were taken toward making
plans for community Christmas party,
to be sponsored by the association.
A resolution was passed voicing the
associations opinion in favor of local
labor on municipal projects.

the claim that in all probability it is
the Oldest baby carriage in the United

Although it has reposed in the mu-
scum at the Old Union Engine House,
at Nineteenth and H streets. since 1921
when it was presented by the late
James F. Hughes of this city, it was
only during this week that its impor-
tance as historic relic has been real

chairman of the Hall and Archives
Committee of the association.
Careful survey has been made of its
origin. date of manufacture, and of
the history Of other old baby carriages,
Mr.. Duhamel said.
Built at Richmond in 1908.
The carriage was built in the year
1908 at Richmond. Va, by ISaacher

At the Smithsonian Institution, it
was explained by officials that the old
est baby carriage in their exhibit was
made about 1860. Records of the early
history of baby carriages in the United
States, it was said at the Smithsonian
are scarce. and it is likely that the
