LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

WAeHTNeroN, ID. O., Sept y, fS-s.
Editor Star wish 20 make few remarks
paper about the proposition Of changing the
name Of our sister city Georgetown 70 West
Washington. l am opposed % the proposition,
When the District government was established
Il WAS understood by many that the city OF
u sorgetown Vas % retain is old name.
III the name Il 20 be changed az all, let it be
SIMPLY Washington. ami leave OF the west
but cannot see Why the people wish TO change
" Al Al. IL was named after its founder,
ism within us we would cherish this mama ana
De proud OF u. Georgetown does not aspire 20
be part Of Washington. We DO not want 70
own canoe. We pride ourselves upop heio, an
Z" artstocrstic old cemetery" As one OF our d.
vines styles Il, and we would rather be excused
rom Joining hands with our fashionable neigh
Dor. The creek divides us, ana let US be d.
yided. IL the people are 80 anxious TO add 70
Washtngton's domain, let them cali the NAVY
Yard East Washington, take in Mount Pleas
ant and the other city environs. 10 would be
Just as well TO unite Untontown As Georgetovn:
II rs Just the sane. Water divides the cities in
poth instances, and 1 think It would be just as
town. 't N"'o"
Suppose in cities like New York they would
get an idea IN their heads OF joining Morrissa-
MIA, Moothaven, Fordham. Yorkvilie. Harlem
hunter Point, and we might even say brook
lynn Why, we would think they we're going
...Vn' Soh.enu " would DC more sensible
TO join Harlem and Norkville 20 New YORK citv
than joining Georgetown 20 Washington be-
cause Harlem and Iorkville are Combinations
OF New York city-sre not divided in any way:
whereas, as SAID before, Georgetown is sepa-
rated from Washington by Rock creek.
Let the citizens of Georgetown move in the
matter, JOIN together and protest against It, and
90 all we can 20 prevent Il being done. Let us
venerate and cherish the name Of our fore
iathers, and do not let their names be wiped
out IN the way that Is proposed. To be sure We
are changing the name OF a city, named after a
