The proposed formation OF a business
mems sssociatiOn for Georgetown is gain
ing ground and there has been lively in
terest displayed On the part Of prominent
merchants. Arrangements are being per-
fected for issuing a call for a meeting
some time this week. and it is anticipated
by those who are interested in the move
ment that it win be largely attended.
Robert Tenny, Of the firm Of William
II. Tenny q Sons, said this morning 10
Times reporter that he is in favor of the
movement and that much good would un
doabtedly ccme from such an organization
in the West End. He further said that
he is willing to cooperate with the asso-
citation and viii use his best efforts to get
The association started on a substantial
footing.
Henry C. Wagner said: THE proposed
association. if properly started and back
ed by some of the representative men OF
Georgetown, will result in a considerable
advancement to GeoTg towns interests.
There are TO my knowledge number OF
improvements which ought to be attended
10 at once and the only way to bring them
about is TO organize such an association
as the one proposed. ] am willing TO lend
my support to the movement

The organization existed at time when
such associations were popular through
out the District, and at that time much
coed was accomplished for Georgetown
But within the past few years the interest
in these representative associations has
died out Now there seems to be a gen.
er.l revival in pushing Improvements 70
the front and it seems 10 be the proper
time TO organize a representative body o.
citizens who viii actively and aggressive
~ interest themselves in promoting the
interests Of this section CT the city.
Said George Boteler, Of the firm of Crop
ley & Boteier: The association, if prop
erly organized under the direction OF good
substantial business men, will fill long
felt need IL this section Of the city. The
associations Of the other sections of the
District have secured improvements for
their respective parts Of the city, while
Georgetown has been at a standstill in this
respect. Something ought TO be done i'm
mediately and l think that the proposed
association is q move in the right direc-
tion'
b. F. Waddey said: The proposed as
s0ciation is a good thing and ] am willing
70 cooperate with it. ] think that the
interest Cf Georgetown have been more or
less neglected for several years past and
while / do not believe in taking money
which is due to other parts of the city, |
think that more should be expended in
This section OF Washington"
Nj. Greenbaum said: The association
which The Times advocates ought TO ma
terially advance the interests of George
town. Good men seem to be behind the
movement and there is no reason why sew
era. items in the line Of street improve
ments and the much needed bridges across
Rock Creek cannot be brought to the at
tentiCn Cf the Commissioners in such .
way as tC secure definite action"
