MT. PLEASANT CITIZENS MEET.
They Are Opposed 10 the Street Extension
Bill and Want Eight Commissioners.

There were two important matters dis
eussed at the special meeting of the Citizens
Association of Mount Pleasant last night at
Congregational Church, Howard avenue
northwest.
The first was presented by Secretary T. III.
Exley. who asks for immediate action, by
Congress, on the following:

extending the streets iuto and through the
city OF Washington, has been agitated and the
Commissioners for the District OF Columbia
without authority OF law have refused and
do refuse to issue permits for the erection OF
buildings upon grounds lying within the
bounds OF the extension and as this operates
not only as a cloud against the title of such
property, so that it cannot be sold nor built
upon to advantage TO owners and hinders
development of this section of the District;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Senate and House
committees be requested to so amend said
bill so as to provide for the immediate con-
demnation and payment for such property as
may be found within the bounds OF extension
1t is also asked that speedy action he taken,
and this reguest be either granted or definitely
abandoned"
The other matter was proposition by Mr..
A. B. Chatfield suggesting that the citizens of

matter was deferred until the next regular
/ meeting.
! In the absence'of Chairman W. s. Cole, OF
the street railway committee, Secretary Exley
stated that he had an interview with Vice
President Schoepf. OF the lexington and
! Soldiers Home Railway Company. and that
be was satisfied that Mr.. Schoepf would do all
| in his power TO give the citizens of Mount
! Pleasant better street railway service. 1t is
/ also stated that the Rock Greek Railway
/ management are considering the running OF
| branch line through Seventeenth street to
/ Mount Pleasant
