NEEDED IMI'KOY E.Vl ENTS.
The City Council will hoki a regu
lar meeting tonight. The committees
or. police and finance, which recently
held a joint session with the Board
of Police Commissioners, are expect
ed to make a report recommending
an increase of ten dollars per month
in the salaries o. the officers and mem
bers of the police force. This matter
has been before Council for some
time, and it is generally conceded that
the time has come when the pay of
the members of the police force
should be increased. They now re
ceive sixty-five dollar? per month, but
in view of the fact that everything
tl.at enters into human existence has
doubled in price, these public servants
should receive salaries sufficient to en
able them to meet the obligations of
?fe. ^
Alexandria is now facing a time
when street improvements are abso
lutely necessary. The location in thi
city of the plant of the Virginia Ship
building Corporation has brought
about great activity to the extreme
southeastern section of our city. Suit
able streets are needed at once :'ur the
greatly increased travel now made
ivpon south Royal, Fairfax and Lee
streets. The company is now en
gagpcLjn constructing a road on Lee
street from Jefferson to S;>uth streets
for the accommodation of trucks and
wagons which are being use.l in pre
paring the reclaimed Baptising Cove
for their purpose*'. The city has fur
nished broken stone and other ma
terials for this work. The shipbuilding
company has greatly improved the
roadway and constructed gutters on
iboth sides of the thoroughfare.
Royal street from Wilkes to So.ith
street (Hunting Creek) will soon de
' in and improvements. The shipbuild
ing company has purchased .limes
Point as sfar we?t as Fairfax street,
and they will eventually want im
provements extended to Hunting
Creek in order that the officers and
employees of the corporation can en
joy the benefit of the electric railway
in going to and returning from their
plant The trunk -ewer, which now
stops a short, distance south of Frank
lin street'.1 will necessarily be extend
ed into- Hunting creek.
Tt will soon be necessary to open
new streets in Washington Park into
which the Alexandria Water Company
will lay pipes after the grades shall
have been given by the City Engineer.

Acccr.iir.g to "weather prophets,"
the first thunder and lightning in the
latter part of February or the begin

river. If this theory be correct,ophidi

morning l>y nearly all the elements.
There were copious rainfalls, high
winds and thunder and lightning, fol
lowed by clearing weather and a de
cided drop in the temperature.
While cold snaps arc likely to occur
during the next forty or fifty days,
it be may be assured that the severe
winter of 101T-191S is about to be
come a th.'ng of the past.
Ice in all the creeks and inlets that
empty into the Potomac river and
Chesapeake Pay is going out with a
rush, releasing a large fleet of trad

the story goes that tho-e boats are

oysters and other choice edibles which
will scon he -?n the market.
