WANASSAB, VA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1915.

An interesting piece-of iiewHls the arttcte fl-orO the Finance Committee of the Town Council of Manassas, which appears on the first page of this

^ iaatfrf Tug JQURMAL Soon after the boiidn were •old and work was started upon the improvements, ^ e people of the town, especially the taxpayers, requested that a statement of expenses incident to the installation of vi ater, lights and sewerage be given the people. So many rumors of extra ex­penses here and there became current that tb« townspeoplie were unable to tell anything about the financial condition of the town, although it was quite generally understood that the city fathers were spending"considerable more than the bond issue called for.

On the completion of the worH it wag thought

pie of Manassas folded' their hands and bemoaned the cruelties of fate, instead of pi ffhi"g '•h'>f/< W

that a statement would be made but, unfortunately, yone waa forthwming.—th6h it wU that the tax-

_^gera felt sure that the town had been placed eon-

beginning over again as they did, Manassas would no more resemble the town it is today than a sobr urban village resembles a good i-ize town.

In 19^6 Manassas had no improvements, very few brick business houses, a shoddy depot, no public high school, no normal training or agriculture de­partments in the schools, no Eastern College, but one thing it had then and still has today, i. e., citi­zens with stamina to push ahead and make of ad­versity a stepping stone to success, Ii-4fae next decade records an equal degree of progress for pur town we will be doing well.

A writer in T H E JOURNAL has alrtady dealt -Aith ihe loading ovanto of Uolonai liorkatoy'a tifa, iitcktdHiy hto war rtscord, which is too well and honorably known to need rep­etition. I wish to add a few points not previously men­tioned.

Colonel Berkeley belonged emphatically to the old Southern regime, about which there were many things now passing away. One of these seems to have been a more general goodwill, a fuller recognition of the tie of siniplf human fellowship. He was an exceptionally kind neighbor to all classes and was called in his vicinity "The Poor Man's Friend" —a most honorable t i t le! And this spirit .of uoiveraal tAarity.

Colonel Berkeley saw much of the best ante-bellum HtS-taTtreT*S home at Aldie, a fine oFJ mansion,'

was a center of hospitality, as was later his own home at "Eyergreen." The colonial college towja of WiUisun&burg waa renowned for gaiety, grace and charm. It was there that he met Miss Mary Lawson Williams, the lady who be­came nia wife on January 1, 1845. She was the daughter of a distinguished Southern judge—a woman of unusual attractions and gifts, but reatfy no less to make sacrifices

_when her country's call came. The day of adversity which followed found her as true gold tried in the fire.

On the years just following the War Between the States, I need not dwelL _There are too many people living who retoember them. The very crust of a past-mellow social world had broken in. Hardship, harrowing uncertainty,, lack of needed means characterized the new order and bore heaviest on those who had been fcmerly prosperous. The present writer was a child of reconstruction. It was 4ier good fortune in those days to be much at "Evergreen"

Berkeley at that trying time as free from bitterness, cen- -aoriousnes^ or hard ,fe«Hng toward those mor« favored by fortune than anyone she has ever~Enown. His dispbsilion" was so gr cjd that it seemed a sort of touchetooe changing such clouds to sunshine. He was incapable of hatred or any long-contiBoed resentegent His faith m his feUow-

Now just a glance at the present state of our finances and we will finish. We have three excellent and complete plants. Mr. Richard Messer, engineer of the State Board of Health, made the statement on his last inspection of our utilities that if we failed to get good results from die standpoints of both health and satisfaction all the theories of health boanfs^and other stiidents of such subjects were at f auiL He also said that we had the jnost coniplete and bestJngtallesLpknt in the state. One of our neighboring towns, of about the same population has spent more than $100,000 for water alone and have not a satisfactory supply ndw. , r ^^ ^

Our plants paid their own running expenses the first year, and this, in spite of the fact that we started the 24-hour service on the fourth month—something most towns of our size don't get in less than a year. Our income is now approximately $500 per month and the running expienses $400. We expect them to support thgjnvives thia ypuT onH i r a y g g a $t,000 bond the firot of next November.

In these figuresAwe have taken no account of the street light-ing,which at the average pricfe would be $1,600 per year. The

The way to make two bladts of grass grown where one does now: Buy the celebrated Magnesium Lime from Leesburg Lime Co.', the lime that has been sold in Loudoun and Fairfax for the past twenty-five years, and out pro­duced them ail, and the reason for it is because it contains Mag­nesium and Oxide of Iron in rigfit proportion to Calcium Carbonate, and the United States Agricul­tural Department in Year Book 1901, page 161, states that Mag­nesium is absolutely necesaajjrto plant growth and nothing else will take its place.
