Alexandria Celebrates Independence Day Amid Limited Festivities
Alexandria observes a quiet Independence Day with a city holiday on Wednesday and mayoral order enforcement. A premature celebration by a local boy involved powder crackers and torpedoes, while public displays allowed and noise devices banned. City reports include dog licensing, a $150 per dog tax due by July 1, and police efforts to seize dogs lacking 1917 collars. Local soldiers attended Holy Name Society events, and St. Mary’s Hall hosted speeches and songs. The post office was upgraded to first class, likely boosting salaries for many workers. A Presbyterian address to encamped soldiers occurred, and local residents Miss Grace M Claytor and Harry Nalisteth wed recently.
