MT. PLEASANT CITIZENS.
Topics Discussed at Meeting Of the
AASOCfat ton.

Association.
In the absence OF President ]. W. Somer-
Vile, Vice President T. A. Harding pre-
sided at the meeting Of the Mt. Pleasant
Citizens Association last evening, and a
discussion was had of better railroad ia
cilities for the section, and of the alleged
lnsanitary condition of the village school.
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, of the street railroad
committee, reported that no action had
been taken by the committee as to any of
the proposed railroad extensions but stated
that ne was personally in favor Of the first
ROAD winch will extend its line out and
through the section. He referred to the bill
introduced yesterday on behalf of the Cap
1tal Traction Company, which provides that
the company shall extend its line out l4th
street TO Howard avenue, to 18th street,
lnence to Park street and back to l4:h
botn howard avenue and Park street. ex-
plalned MIR. Brown, will be widened and
as II does not appear to be certain that the
Metropolitan road can get out to the sec
tlon. and as the Capital Traction Company
Is very desirous of getting there. he be-
Heved that 1t should be encouraged
MIR. A. H. Nixon said the plan of the Can
1tal Traction Company was both niseardly
and absurd, and he was opposed to IT, He
remarked that 1t appeared to him that the
association was in the position of adjunct
to the railroad companies. He also opposed
any road on Howard avenue, because Of
its narrow width
of the best road, but whatever road made
the extension he hoped the parking of cars
OH the public streets would be forever done
away with. the practice being not only an
eyesore but also extremely dangerous.
A motion made by Mr.. Raby to approve
the plan of the Capital Traction Company
was withdrawn, when a motion CT Mr..
Campbell, that the whole matter be post
poned until the next meeting, prevailed.
1t was explained that there has been 10
meeting of the committee on schools for
many months, and Trustee Ellis Speare.
one of the trustees of the District board,
and a member of the association, said he
desired the cooperation of the committee
in his work. promising that he will do all
in HIS power to promote the best interests
of the schools. He said he had examined
the village school and was satisfied that
it is in good sanitary condition, and that
1t is not as damp as it has been reported.
He also stated that he did not believe the
condition of the school building was re-
sponsibie for the recent diphtheria or scar
let fever cases.
That Mr. Campbell could not agree with.
and he urged the association to see that
the section shall no longer be referred to
as unhealthy.

explaining that the employees of the road
are in dire need of funds. He also ex-
pressed his readiness to have the other

reason for postponement, as his oppo-
nents associates. Messrs. Wilson and
