Improvements an annual report to
Recommended. 6;ssinnsl the Engineer s1.; Com
decker, SO years ago. contaiing sugges-
tions for improvement and changes
which led to the following comment in
The Star of November %, 1888:
There are several recommendations
in the report of Capt. Greene that
ought TO be brought to the notice of
Congress and pressed upon the atten-
ton of its members until the favorable
action of that body is secured The
first and most important of these will
be found in the provisions of the bill
agreed to by the District Committee in
the Senate last year. as recited by Capt
Greene, which requires the removal of
the tracks of the Baltimore & Potomac
Railroad, together with its several sheds
and temporary buildings, from all
points lying north of Maryland avenue
northwest. The necessity for this
change grows more apparent every day.
The longer it is postponed the greater
the necessity for removal becomes.
while the complications and expense in
volved will increase with each months
delay. It only requires the intelligent
attention for a few moments of any
reasonable person to comprehend the
importance of early action in this d.
rection. and it is believed that with
such efforts as can with propriety be
made by the people of washington in
that behalf the necessary authority can
be secured during the coming session
Another matter requiring congress
sional action, and which ought to re-
ceive sanction without moments heSi-
tation, is the adequate lighting of the
streets of the city. It has long been
manifest that the old-time custom of
trusting to the uncertain moon as a
sufficient Illuminating agent for a fixed
number Of nights in each month is a
delusion and a snare. 1t is neither a
convenient nor a safe practice. The
necessities of daily life in large cities
nowadays absolutely require that the
street lamps should be lighted every
night, whether the moon is supposed
to shine or not. This rule prevails in
nearly every large city in the country.
and it ought to be adopted in Wash
ington
THE third recommendation to which
reference is made is that one calling for
the removal of all pole-strung wires.
and the poles sustaining them from
the streets of the city. The unsightli-
ness, obstruction and dangers arising
from the system at present in vogue
are constantly increasing but, as Capt.
Greene points out, those interested in

DATE OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ATTACK HISTORI c One FOR new
DEAL, CLAIM OF BRYON PRICE
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
p,a.. W..L:--aN


Press, Washington)
When history searches for
a date to mark the beginning
of organized counter-revolu-
Itionary effort against the
Roosevelt industrial order, it
may well be that Nov. Is,
1888, will emerge as fulfill
ing the requirements.
On that day the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States fired a shot
which they hoped would be heard
round the world. They asked
for an end to currency expert
mentation, for less NRA control
of business and for less govern
ment competition with business.
The significance of that action
appears only when 1t is realized
that the board which adopted
these resolutions would make an
impressive claim to speaking for
the industrial wealth of the United
States. Virtually without excep-
ton the great corporations and
groups of corporations have their
spokesman on the board.
Of course the action of Nov.
IL merely gave voice to more
or-less subdued murmurings which
had been in progress for some
time. And that IS just the point
THE murmurings now give way to
articulation, hesitation to action.

Roosevelt returned the shot-al-

Speaking in Georgia, on the
same day, he branded as tories
those who object to his expert
ments. That he probably pre-
pared his speech before the board
actually acted is of only minor
consequence. He knew what was
coming.
Washington did not doubt for
a moment the earnestness Of the
Presidents utterance. Nor that
/ it was a deliberate and studied
statement. There was skepticism
in New York. where one financial
writer even suggested that Mr,
Roosevelt may have been joking

in mind for the future hardly In
