General Hovey sent to the sccretary's table
and had read the following, which was agreed
to:
Whereas II appears from the late census, taken
pursuant TO an act of Congress that the centre of
population Of the combined cities of Washington
and Georgetown is east Of the meridian Of sixth
street west and that the centre of population of the
whole District Of Columbia is also east Of said Sixth
street: Therefore,
ResOlred, That any location of the city poSt-ofice
west of Seventh street which is one full block
west of the population centre, would be an unfair
discrimination against the eastern half of the city
and District; aud that this association respectfully
petitions Congress against the removal of said office
further west than II now Is.
On motion of Mr.. Dulin, the association ad-
journed to take part ia the reception rendered
Hon. Matt. Carpenter.
