nothing here but houses, cellars,
to make our city perfect" Henry
Ingle proceeded to supply the facili-
ties which would overcome some of
the shortcomings so graphically
described by Mr. Morris. With cour-
age and initiative he met the press
ing needs of the newly planned city
by establishing several types Of busi-
ness enterprises under his own name
and became the leading spirit and
financial backer in numerous others.
For a short time he lived In Alex
andria, which was then included
within the boundaries of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Then he had q
temporary residence at Greenleafs
Point, near the present site of the
Greenleaf School, where, it is said.
the first row of houses in this city
was built. He then purchased a site
overlooking the Capitol and built a
home at the corner of New Jersey
and Pennsylvania avenues, where the
House once Building now stands.
Started Hardware Store.
At 606 Pennsylvania avenue, oppo-
site the old Metropolitan Hotel site,
Henry Ingle started the first hard
ware store in the District. The busi-
ness was later conducted by his sons
in-law, william Campbell and Leoni-
das Coyle, under the firm name of
Campbell & Coyle.
He was one of the original stock
holders and directors In what is now
Congressional Cemetery. Ingle ave-
nue.. one Of the main avenues trav-
ersing the cemetery. was named for
him, and he is buried in the first lot
east of the central entrance gate. Mr..
Ingle and the group of citizens who

were associated in his project first in
tended to make the cemetery a pri-
vate burial ground, bat later donated
it to Christ Church, near the Navy
Yard, Of which Mr.. Ingle was the
FIRST registrar. Later the term Con-
gressional Cemetery was given to this
burial ground when several members
Of Congress were buried there, and
a movement was started to erect me-
mortal cenotaphs for those dying dur
ing the sessions of Congress.
Mr.. Ingle also established on Penn
sylvania avenue Washington's first
furniture business, although he did
not personally conduct it. This en-
terprise he wisely saw the necessity
for, because Congress was having to
send to Philadelphia to have furniture
made for the White House and the
Capitol. and even to have the chairs
used by the Senators and Representa-
tives recovered.
Among the treasures Of Miss Moore
and her sister as little girls were
needle cases fashioned for them by
their great-grandmother out of gold
brocade scraps removed from the first
coverings upon the upholstered chairs

Henry Ingle, the coffin in which
George Washington was first inferred
was reverently fashioned. To Miss
Moore'S Great Grandfather Ingle came
a messenger from Mrs. Washington
at Mount Vernon asking that he come
to sit by her husbands body until the
! interment, as certain vandas, os-
tensibly calling to pay their last re-
spects as the general lay in state,
were cutting of locks of his hair as
souvenirs.
Miss Moore will have you distinctly
understand that Great-Grandfather
Ingle was not an undertaken or in
the undertaking business. Gen.
Washington's coffin was fashioned in
her great-grandfather's furniture shop
because of family friendship and the
fact it was well known that the finest

owners bought 1t, built their charming
home which just fits on the natural
plateau at the lands highest eleva-
ton, and restored the grounds to the
beauty and loveliness that Is now

Moved TO Georgetown.
Previous to his disposal Of his hold
ings in the country in 1869, Miss
Moores father decided to come to
Georgetown, where he thought the
air would be equally salubrious and
where he could more conveniently
keep in touch with his business in
terests
Miss Moore's mother, Mrs. Virginia
Campbell Moore, in the records of
the Columbia Historical Society, under
date of December 5, 1898, gives a
delightful account of the familys
recollections, from the time Henry
Ingle. Miss Moore's great-grandfather
came to Washington from Philadel-
phia, in 1899. just nine years after
this city's selection as the site OF
Government.
Mr.. Ingle's business had to do with
the closing up of certain details incl
dent to the removal of the offices of
government from Philadelphia to
Washington. According to family
tradition, warm friendship sprang
up between Gen. Washington and the
Ingle family after the battle of
Germantown. The Ingles were then
living in Germantown, where Henry
Ingle was born on March "a, 1854,
and it was at the suggestion of Gen.
Washington that the family later
moved to Philadelphia.
IN Philadelphia young Henry Ingle
| became a secretary to Stephen
Girard, famous financier and philan-
thropist, under whom he undoubtedly
received the training and absorbed
| the background which contributed to
his own later successful career as a
business man and man of affairs in
Washington from 1899 until his death
in 1922
| Possessed Rare Vision.
| Coming here at the age of 35 with
his wife and their four children,
Henry mgle. in addition to his train
ing under Stephen Girard must have

Public Improvement Plan To Be Studied
 And Cost Estimated
Proposed Trip to Be Made in Few Weeks-BrOwn to WOlcott Streets Paving to Be One of Big Summer
 Jobs -Sub-ZerO Weather UndOes OiIing Program

One of the most extensive tours of inspection ever made by the board of works will be conducted within a couple of weeks. Arrange ments for the trip about the city for the purpose of studying pro- posed public improvements and es- timating the cost of repairing dam age done to the streets by the sub- zero weather and recent blizzard.
 City Engineer Robert A. Cairns and Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming are now pre- pairing lists of jobs to be looked over and estimated on. Mayor Frank Hayes and Controller Daniel J. Leary will head the inspection party. ~
 One of the summer jobs to be in- spected, it is understood, is the proposed new paving for East Main street, from Brown to Wolcott streets. This will be one of the big gest paving jobs undertaken by the administration and will call for CO., operation on the part of the Con- necticut Company as new rails will have to be laid.
 The Connecticut Light and Power Company has already completed -IhO NOIh OL IdyllI6 hCW uuuCl ground conduits in East Main street. The gas and trolley com panies will carry out their end of the job when the proper time ar rives. N
 The huge street oiling program which was carried out by the ad- ministration last summer has been completely undone due to the sub- zero weather which got under the surface and broke up the hard cov- ering. Therefore. the tour of in- spection will include the task of determining what streets are to be oiled this year. The oiling will start early in the spring.
 The water main jobs on Bucks Hill and Crockett Hill, which are being pushed ahead quickly, will also be inspected as will the storm water sewers which are to be in- stalled by CWA and Mutual Aid employees. The street department officials will direct the layout of the sewers.
