Meeting Of the Citizens Association
Last Night.
Schedule of Streets Considered to
Need Improvement During Next
Year-The $4,000, 900 Loan.

The regular monthly meeting Of the East
Washington Citizens Association was held
at Baums Hall. 4th and East Capitol
streets. last evening. Owing to the alb
sence from town of the great majority
of the members of the association the meet
ing was not largely attended, those present
being j. W. Babson, A. j. Curtis. Isaac
p. Noyes. NJ. l. Weller. NJ. w. Wines. o.
b. Hallam. Tracy Jeffords. F. A. Lehman,
F. F. Repetti. F. G. Aukam and DR.. David
son.
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were read and approved and under the call
Of committees for reports President Bah
son stated that the executive committee
had no special report to make, but added
that it afforded him great pleasure to state
that the various committees in charge Of
the Capitol centennial celebration were
doing great and splendid work. and enough
was already accomplished to insure a most
magnificent celebration.
Mr.. Marshall w. Wines said the COM
mittee on railroads would soon be called
together to consider the threatened danger
Of the trolley system and the subject given
that consideration which the gravity OF the
question demanded.
Improvement of Streets.
Chairman F. A. Lehman, chairman of
the committee on streets, avenues and al
The committee on streets, avenues and
alleys presents its report earlier than usual
this year because the extra session or Con-
gress makes Ii necessary for the Commits
siouers of the District to prepare their
estimates before the usual time. The num-
Der of streets recommended for improve
ment in both the northeast and southeast
sections has been largely increased, not
only because we believe that these streets
should be improved speedily as possible,
but because the increased revenues Of the
District arising from increased taxation
will enable the Commissioners to improve
a larger number next year than they have
been able to do in any one year in the past.
While the number Of streets recommended
for Improvement in the southeast is larger
than that In the northeast the estimated
cost in the northeast section Is about
SO. 900 more than in the southeast. as a
larger amount of asphalt paving is recon-
mended for the northeast than the south
east
In the northeast section F and NJ streets
and Florida avenue are especially recon-
mended for improvement in order to re-
lieve the amount of travel on H street.
which is greater in proportion than upon
Pennsylvania avenue.
In the southeast there Is more unim-
proved ground than in all the other sec
tons of the city. and We therefore ask
that those streets lying east and south
east of Lincoln Park may be opened UP
50 that this ground may be placed upon the
market. Taxes have been paid upon all
of this ground as city lots for about one
hundred years, and the opening up of these
streets will be productive Of good to both
owners and the public.

The Removal OF Ashes.

Mr. Weller of the committee on removal
of ashes, stated the committee had called
on the District Commissioners and re-
quested them to insert in the annual esti-
mates an estimate for such. the collec-
ton OF ashes, but fearing that the COM
missioners would not have time to do
that. the committee had asked that Con-
gress be requested to tax the citizens of
the District for the collection of ashes,
the District government to make the col
lections. 81 n year for s-room houses, and
larger houses on that ratio. While the
committee had not been informed officially
of the intention of the Commissioners yet
the committee had CON iuded because of
their very pleasant reception by the Com
missioners that the Recommendations of
the committee would be adopted, At
appear that the householders Of the
District paid at least Sc a year for
the collection and carting away of ashes.
The committee had also recommended to
the Commissioners that public dumping
grounds be authorized. and in that way
many nuisances would be obviated and
much waste land reclaimed.
President Babson and Mr.. Wines warmly
advocated the recommendations Of the
committee, and on the motion Of the latter
the report was unanimously adopted.
