straining to catch glimpse Of the
President-elect. Men. women and chill
dren stamped their feet and blew on
their hands to keep warm as the in
augural procession passed by on the
way to the Capitol.
After the swearing lin, the President
removed his hat in spite of the bone
chilling cold and began reading his
speech. Again his audience was visibly
restless as icy March winds rustled
through the leafless trees. The Presi-
dent himself faltered several times dur
ing his address, now and then swinging
his arms in the gesture of man des-
perately trying to keep warm.
One month later President William
Henry Harrison was dead. White House

Old Tippecanoe had been the victim

Pluvius' command-have been loosed

In the main, our Presidents have
accepted the benediction of a rainy
day or blizzard with the more or
less numb dedication of the theatrical
trouper Injured to the tradition that
the show must go on. Only twice in
comparatively recent times has the in
augural rite at the Capitol been moved
indoors.
At the second Inauguration of James
Monroe, it showed heavily on the day
before, a Sunday. On March 4, 1921,
harasSed inaugural officials went into
an eleventh-hour conference and ruled
the ceremony should take place in the
Hall Of the House of Representatives.
Bad weather also plagued President
William Howard Taft. A two-day snow
fall blanketed the city under ten inches
until noon on March 4, 1909, when the
sun came out and the temperature rose
to 40 degrees, creating a brown sea of
slush. A small army of laborers cut a
swath on Pennsylvania avenue suf1-
ciently wide to allow the presidential
procession to proceed dolefully to the
Capitol.
Thousands were stranded in railroad
stations because of the blizzard on the
entire Eastern Seaboard and never got
to see the inaugural.

and cons would be gone into. The
governing bodies of the two counties
might well look into the matter and
present their views. as might the Allied
Civic Group and the Montgomery
County Civic Federation. One wonders
whether this matter was discussed at
the recent meeting between the Mont
gomery County Council and the Com
mission.
Landholders in the two counties are
entitled to know whether this proposal
means higher taxes; whether such
charges should supplement, rather than
replace, front-foot benefit charges:
whether such charges are as feasible
in areas where there are still large un-
severed areas as in areas completely
severed; what effect such change in
system may have on development Of
unSewered areas.
