pen rer thomas jefferson the author of tlie statute of virginia for religious freedom who proponed and had passed a bill forbidding tbe future importation of slaves into virginia the author of ihe summary view of 1774 which contained the germ and substance of the declaration of independence which he afterwards formulated was of this same school of thinkers and writers to which ingeisoll belonged but lived ill an age when to think and write was not a crime in america all reformers are heretics and all revolutionists are traitor unless successful jefferson carried the rule of subjecting every thing to the test of abstract reason into matters of religion venerating the mor al character of christ but refusing be lief in his divine mission a bill for treason was enrolled against jefferson and brought into parliament on account if his summary views of the rights of british america which he sent to peyton randolph president of a convention held to really inaugurate the revolution that followed in the inde pendence of the states jefferson was fortunate in living in an era when his services were required for an overpow ering issue and hence polemical divines left him alone i his free thinking his heart was right he wrought for liberty he wrote for independence and for the manumission of the slaves he abolished pound shilling and pence and substituted the dollar and its sub divisions down to the hundredth part to which lie gave tbe name of cent ingersoll was not so fortunate lie was not born to serve but to agitate to put men to thinking and reading lust as

a complex problem not at all easy of solution to give the fort a municipal standing among the pros peious and progressive sister borouaha of our county would certainly meet with mv hearty approval if such con ditions were possible i do not think that ills community is prepared to em brace the municipal idea ' i e , to lay out and macadam i/.e streets to erect a public water supply and establish a modern system of street lighting and such other improvements and require ments requisite in the organization and progressive movement of a real live borough our people or at least a large majority of our population do not de sire the incorporation of this village ami would nut be in sympathy with such improvements as woul i be neces sary to transform our village into a bor ough it is true that there is a univer sal sentiment in favor of grind mad ways and desirable foot walks and for lights along the various avenues of travel but strong us the feeling in that di rection may be there is a pronounced and obvious expression against an in corporation which would force these conveniences upon the people it is bet ter perhaps to maintain a first-class village in preference to a low-class bur ough far better to endure certain unde sirable features of a village than to assume burdensome taxation that would surely come with the advent of a bor ough when one improvement after an ther would be demanded and obtained from the natural result of an incorpora tion having for its essential features the transition of a place from country to town from rural to snrban with all that euch change may imply fort washington is not ripe for mun'cipal proportions and it would be wise to continue it as a village rather than a borough with no claim to incorporate honors until our people are willing to unite in an expenditure of money that will be consistent with the establish ment of every feature and need of a modern borough rich in public im provements that add joy and comfort to her people and renown to the place i predict that it will be many years be fore fort washington becomes a bor ough as it should until conditions change and population increases largely beyond present numbers opposed to incorporation — u g funk i know absolutely nothing in refer ence to the subject i did not know that the question of incorporation was being considered mr t k conover bitterly

fort washington and place it directly before the public the incorporation would in crease the tax imt the improvements would more than counteract the question of incorporating fort washington as a borough has for some time been agitating tlie minds of some of our citizens but if the subject were closely dissected it would undoubtedly be found to confine itself to that class who might he termed
