As an instance OF combined action

societies our society. as well as the busi-
ness Mems Association and the tAty
Council, addressed letters to Dir. Claus

spirit and faith ia our future. IL shows
that there is q new Annapolis which Is
prepared to Do rather than show how
things can'tbe done
Similar action was taken In urging the
bill for Public Building for our city
Persistent efforts should be made 10 sus-
tain our representative in his endeavors.
Annapolis is better prepared under new
life 10 remove the objections which have
existed because of our reputation as q
dead town. Cooperation with our breth-
rem of progress is cordially invited.
The question of the extension OF our
city or the formation of a township, in
Guiding Annapolis, though not origina
ting with this Association. demands our
attention as of vital importance to our fu-
turs prosperity and merits calm investi-
cation and earnest discussion.
The fact that the meetings for this OBJ
iect brought together intelligent and pro
gressive men from both city aud suburbs
developed an unexpected strength OF
sympathy and showed that the Interests
Of the city are only bounded by the geo.
graphical limits which have defined its
natural territory. We invite our suburban
neigkbors to jsin our Association as the
improvements proposed by US extend ne
cessarily beyond our present limits.
The record of progress made by Anna
| polls within the last decade justifies us ia
urging return to the original intention
Of our founders, TO establish acity and
| not town.
A city is not necessarily an accretion OF
large population but place OF residence
where the public interests are paramount
to the private and personal ones, and
which Is laid out with view to general
convenience and business facilities as also
to beauty, as an element of the enjoyment
Of life. Tho plan OF Annapolis filed this
idea and every departure from the origi.
nal arrangement of streets has wrought
an injury to the common veal of the peo
| pie. To restore in some measure these un
fortune deviatiations it is of the utmost
importance that survey aud legally
adopted plan of the city should be made
by our council. by competent engineer.
as matter of economy, as we'll as securi-
| ty from suits, which are involved in un-
determined grades and extension Of streets.
The attention of the Society in urging
this action is respectfully suggested.
/ As an Improvement" begun q century
ago and only now completed we congratu-
late our citizens on the possession of the
statue of DeKalb, the able work of a tai
! ented Marylandcr. 1t is to be regretted
| that the location on ST. Johns Campus,
so we'll selected, both as fine site for a
statue as on account of historic associa-
tions, was abandoned Any one visiting
the point, directly in front of Humphrey
Hall can appreciate our loss, now that the
! improvements of the neighborhood and
the prosperity of the college have made

| The provision of our constitution max
| ing the 1st of May the annual meeting of
our Society should involve restoration
of the old Annapolis festival of St.
Tammany the only purely American Saint
we can boast of aud whose holiness was
recognized annually by our ancestors
| We hope as the ladies lend their helpful
hands to be able to celebrate an old time
May day in the New Annapolis of 1889.
under the auspices of largely increased
membership of our Association.
