Traffic Accidents Increase
II Per Cent in Maryland
By the Associated Press.

os INC hcoOClAlSQ HIeSS.
BALTIMORE. July 15.-An In.
crease Of II per cent in trafiic acci.
dents on Maryland streets and high
ways during the first six months OF
1874 was reported today by the
State Traf1c Safety Commission.
A total of 184 trafic deaths for
the first six months of 1914 as COM
pared to 157 during the comparable
period of 194S was recorded by the
commission. Fatalities in the State
last month numbered 20, against q
total of n in June of last year.
The commission attributed the in.
crease to a number of multiple
death accidents and to more and
faster travel by civilian automobiles.
The lifting of the ban on pleasure
driving, trafiic officials claimed, had
brought about more driving by
drinking drivers, reckless drivers
and speeders.

10 Restore
Ramsay House
lobe Discussed
Corporation Proposed
To Maintain Oldest
Alexandra Home

A proposal calling for the forma-
ton of q ncn-stock corporation to
restore and maintain Ramsay House
In Alexandra, recently purchased
by the city to prevent its destruc-
ton, as well as other historic build
ings will be discussed at the next
meeting Of the City Council. The
corporation would be known as the
Alexandria Historical Society.
The plan, drawn up by the RAM
say House Restoration Association,
provides that two members OF the
City Council or one councilman and
the city manager serve on the Board
Of Directors of the corporation and
that an annual membership drive
be held to collect funds for main
tenance of historic buildings.
The association is composed Of
representatives of more than 80 or
ganizations, headed by Roger Sui
Ivan, city treasurer, and was re-
sponsible for the city's purchase of
the house-the oldest in Alexandria.
The group was organized to protest
the houses demolition to make way
for an office building.
Believed Built In 174S.
The house is believed to have
been built in 1748 by william Ram
say, first Mayor of the city, and was
seriously damaged by fire a year
ago. At that time 1t was used as
a restaurant.
The associations plan calls for
restoration of the house as it now
stands. including its additional
wing. rather than putting 1t back
to what Is considered its original
form.
Architects have advanced the the
ory that the rear wing was added
as early as 1900 by Mr.. Ramsay him.
self, and therefore has SUFFICIENT
historical value to warrant its pres
ervation. In addition, 1t was pointed
out, the size Of the building with
out the wing Is not sufficiently large
to allow it to be put to any prac-
tical use, and the association does
not propose leaving 1t an empty
shrine.
The association also proposes that
the basement-now the first floor
be retained. The basement was
raised to street level many years
after the house was built. 1t is pro-
posed that kitchen be installed in
the basement, and that the entire
floor be used as a meeting place for
various civic organizations which
would pay rent for the privilege.
Two Rooms for Relics.
The two rear rooms on the first
floor would be suitably furnished
and used in conjunction with the
basement for clubrooms, while the
two rooms in the front of the first
floor would be used for the display
of historic relics relating to the his
tQeyCf Alexandria.
lie proposal provides for the fur
Il1nlang of the four rooms on the
second floor for display to tourists,
In addition to being used as quarters
for caretaker.
Because the association already
has raised a sizable fund and antici-
pates the collection of $4,000 in a
campaign to be launched in the near
future, it was suggested that the
association lease the house and be
responsible for its restoration and
maintenance.
