FairaII Built First
Anti-Aircraft Gun

Only 40 men were left out Of TOO
in the erecting shop of the Wash

World War, and one Of them was
Frank Fairall, who now lives at IS
T st. N. E. and has for the past
five years been retired.
Fairal, who learned his trade as
a machiniSt in Baltimore, starting
in 1898, came to the Washington
yard in 1903.
His was the honor of making the
first anti-aircraft gun for the Navy
that was made here. It was q one
FOUNDER and Fairall found the
work on this exceedingly interest
ing.
He also worked on the first gas
electors for guns which were made
here for practical use, and for his
efficiency in his work he was made
a leading man and finally a quar-
terman.
They were hectic dayS-those
after the World War when men
were laid off by the thousands,
and Fairall recalls how the erect

time from a humming place where
700 men we're busily ngaged to d
shop where only 40 men found en-
ployment.
Mr.. Fairall was retired on dis

statement: There is but one issue
in the coming campaign and that

Mrs. Urquhart issued an invitation
to all constitutional or Jeffersonian

invitation she was not opening Pro

This contest we are approaching
in the coming campaign is one of

! study oil the potentialities is be-

a study of the potentialities is be-
ing prepared, Guy j. Story, local
representative on the board states.
The district has been in opera
ton for a year and q half, quite
recently an entirely new board hav-
ing the affairs of the organization
in charge. Preston Roger has re-
placed Commissioner Gill, who has
moved to Yakima county; Story re-
places G. C.. Williams and A. l..
Brockway has taken the place of
Commissioner Whitehead, who has
been given the managership.
The controversy regarding the
hiring Of Kenneth Harlan as con-
sulting engineer has no basis in
Benton county, Mr.. Story explains,
because arrangements have been
made to reimburse the engineer for
out-of-pocket expenses from the
general fund, running from $40 to
$40 per month. His nominal salary
is to be paid from special fund
created from revenue or bond issue
in case the district takes over the
distribution of power. All warrants
issued on this fund will bear the fol-
lowing notation on the face: "This
warrant is not a general obligation
warrant, and shall be paid from
earnings or by revenue bonds only"
According to Mr.. Story, the utility
district anticipates asking for a
millage of less than half a mill for
its operating expenses.
Mr.. Story states that the district
has been operated at a minimum of
expense, altho much has been ac-
complished in the organization work
of the district. A consulting engin-
eer has been employed, the mana
ger receives reimbursement for mile
age, two cases, defending the con-
stitutionality Of the act, have been
tried in the superior and supreme
court and an election held, yet the
cost to date has been less than $500,
or less than a tenth of a mill on
property included in the district.

were so authorized and also sanctioned
it. At the July session, after agree

dent resumed the chair. Mr.. Harrison
reported, that the committee have had
under consideration the declaration to
them referred; but, not having had
time to go through, desired leave to
sit again.
"Resolved, That this Congress will,
tomorrow, again resolve itself into a
committee of the whole, to take into
their further consideration the declar-
alton Of independence"
A few minutes later the session ad-
journed until 20 o'clock to Morrow"
THIS resolution, agreed to many
l. years ago, had been presented to
the Congress for action on the seventh
-dayof theJune preceding, almost a month
before. It was drawn up and present
ed by Richard Henry Lee, pursuant to
a resolution of the Virginia house of
burgesses adopted on May Is, the
same year. 1t was seconded, when pre-
scented to the Congress, by John Adams,
on behalf of the Massachusetts delega-
ton. Consideration, however, was de-
ferred until the following day, when it
was referred to the committee of the
whole. Postponed again on the eighth,
which was a Saturday, on the tenth
of June committee was appointed ito
prepare a declaration to the effect Of
the said first resolution" That COM
mittee was composed of Thomas Jeffer-
son, chairman; John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Robert r. Livingston and
Roger Sherman.
This committee brought in its report
on June %, with the first draft of the
declaration. 1t was read and ordered
to lie on the table. That was Friday.
The Congress adjourned that day until
the following Monday, July l.
THEN came July 2, with the passage
I of the resolution presented on the
seventh of June by Mr.. Lee, but still
without agreement on the text of the
declaration itself. July saw sim
ilarly fruitless discussion. But on
Thursday morning July 4, differences
had been smoothed out. The Journal,
in its entry for that day, records:

parchment, and on August 2 the for
mality of signing took place. Fifty
three signed that day; three signed
later in the year. Of the fifty-six sign
ers, seven were not members of the
Congress on July when the Declare
ton was agreed to, and of those who
were present on that historic day,
seven never signed the document.
The Declaration was first proclaimed
in public on July s, when it was read
by John Nixon from the platform built
in independence Square in 1869.
THE Declaration was not adopted by
L the Continental Congress until al
most fifteen months after the War for
independence started with the engage
ments at Concord and Lexington. They
occurred ON April 10, 1775. In fact,
seven important battles of that war
had been fought before the resolution
of independence introduced by Mr. Lee
was agreed to. They were, besides
Concord and Lexington, Ticonderoga,
on May 10; Bunker Hill, on June II;
Montreal, on November 10; Quebec, on
December 81, all in 1775, and Fort
Moultrie, on June %, 1776 George
Washington had been commander-in-
chief-though he was termed general
of the Continental forces since June
Is, 1775. At the time of the Declare
ton, Washington was In the field and
had been for more than year. On
the day it was formally adopted he
he was in New York, preparing for
what was to be the Battle Of Long
Island.
Despite the deliberate action of the
Congress, however. there had been de-
mands for declaration of independ-
ence months before that July day in
1776. There was the Macklenberg Dec
laration, passed on May 20, 1775. And
on April %, 1776, the freeholders of
Cumberland county, Virginia, called
for similar action by the Virginia con-
vention itself, which met on May 6 and
moved for the declaration which Rich
ard Henry Lee presented to the Con-
gress the following month.
