LOGAN PosTs MEETING.
John A. Logan Post, No. IS, Department Of
| the Potomac, G. A. R.. met Wednesday night
at Masonic Hail.. Commander A. B. Frisbie pre-
| sided. good many communications some
from the commander-in-chief,w were read hav-
i ing reference to the coming encampment at
| Detroit Col Frisbie announced that DIR. God
ding, superintendent of the Government Hos
| pital for the Insane, had presented to the post
a memorial record. High appreciation of this
| courtesy was expressed by all the comrades
but it was thought fitting to set aside some
| night in September for the formal presentation
| and acceptance Of the record. fair number
of the comrades will attend the Detroit en-
campment. but how many will not be deter
mined before the next meeting.
| CITIZENS ASSOCIATION MEETING.
| President Barker has issued call for special
meeting of the Anacostia Citizens ASSOCIATION
on Monday night at the station house. The
| object of the meeting is to have the citizens
make known their wants to the association SO
| that the Commissioners may be authoritatively
| informed of the total amount desired for street
| improvements here. There has In the past
] been somewhat Of lack of interest in the asso-
citation on the part OF many citizens. especially
| those Of the south and southwest of Anacostia.
The officers and members have been strenu-
| ously endeayoring to correct this and have
| been around personally inviting many citizens
who heretofore have kept aloof from the meet
| ings. One Of the principal improvements
| sought to be accomplished is the laying of a
Belgian block pavement along Harrison street
from Bridge and Monroe streets to Minnesota
avenue This is the principal street in Ana
costa for country travel, and its condition has
long been subject of complaint. Another
idea Is to have a sewer laid, to follow the course
of the water main to be put down along Har-
rison street. Another project is to tear up the
cobble pavement Bridge street from the
Anacostia bridge along the csuseway to the
junction Of Monroe and Harrison streets.
