NEW PROJECTS ARE IN VIEW ** That T^aahinfcton is on the eve of the greatest period of d'velopmont I in Its history has been hinted at by several prominent men of ,the cilr and was again brought forward \by Col. W. C. Rodman lo a speech whlcH he made before the Board of Aldi?r men at their meeting this week. It la known that several big pre lect# are under way. The Norfolk Southern has purchased a big tract of land at thr easterly* end of the city and it is hard y probable that they* -did so merely as a holding ln veetmr i.t. It is expected that th?y , will erect a large new railroad sta tions ther^ and make other improva nienta. The large land owners of \hat part of the town are also con templating big enterprises. Am soon as the city extends and straightens out Brown. Th'.rd and Scond street, bridges will be built across Jack's Creek to connect with the county fOad and with the extension of Se? end and Third streets on the other fide of tha creek. That part of tho 'sity wi'.l be one of the first to reap the benefit of the coming boom and !t will undoubtedly build up fast. Various other projects are under way ,and if brought to a successful h<"ad will mean several new indus tries for Washington, and improved aervice, especially In the freight line. It Is expected that the Norfolk HAS REFUSED THE "NOMINATION" On? of Hoard of Aldermen State* lie Wouldn't Be Mayor for any Consideration. Several mimes have already bean )UKge?trd as candidates for the of fice of mayor, which will be vacant after the first of next month, due to ".he resignation of Mayor P. C. Kug or at Monday night's meeting of the board. A reporter of th^ Daily News thii morning interviewed one of' the al dermen dilute name had been sug gested. The alderman replied that under no consideration would he accept tho office. He gave several reasons for his decision, prominent among them being the difficulty of getting the people in Washington to support the police officials. The new mavor may be selected from either th^ aldermen or from the citizens at large. He wi".l bo voted upon by the board of alder men. L. D.
