Then Secretary Anderson was appointed .
delegate to the convention of the national
the Sth proximo. President NJ. NJ. Parker and
s. W. Woodward are also delegates and they
will all labor to have the national board estab-
iish its headquarters in this city.
THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS

THE DIsrRIcr CENTENNIAL.
President Parker briefly thanked his fellow
directors and then J. H. Maeruder asked if the
attention of the District Commissioners had
been directed to the celebration OF the District
centennial
Secretary Anderson responded in the afirma-
tive, stating that the Commissioners entered
very heartily into the spirit of the affair, they
approved Of the proposition and promised to do
all they could to help 1t along.
President Parker was Of opinion that the
board should give little attention to social
matters this winter. Two or three dinners
would help matters along.
Mr.. Magruder thought that the first ami
versary Of the organization of the board-due
some time in Dscember-would be proper
occasion to dignity with a dinner The yug-
gestiou was followed by some informal taIk,
and the proposition was referred to the execu-
tive committee. It 10 probable that the dinner
| will take place in the latter part Of December
or early in January.
THE HNTENsION OF STREETS AND AVENUES
| was then debated and it was unanimously
| agreed that the importance Of the work should
| be made plain to Congress at the earliest pos
| sible date. Regrets we're expressed that the
Atkinson bill should stand in the way, but il
was the general opinion that nothing should be
| allowed to block the progress Of such import
| ant legislation as that which Is necessary to
| extend the city streets.
There Was little desultory conversation on
Rock Creek Park, and at $50 the board sd-
