Your committee appointed to prepare
and carry out a program for the national
peace carnival in this city in May next in
conjunction with the representatives from
the several citiZens' associations of the
District and the Washington board of
trade beg leave to report that your COM
m:ttee is meeting with more than expected
encouragement, and We feel justified in pre-
die ting one of the most attractive and sue
cessful and appropriate displays ever wit
messed at the national capital.
Every association of citizens, eleven in
number, has selected and reported is rep
resentatives, who, in conjunction with this
&C mmittee, viii meet Friday night for or
ganization as a general committee, which
Will probably be enlarged to fifty or more
members. and then subdivided into ten or
more committees for active and detailed
work.
Washington board of trade has failed to
act upon the invitation sent it to Join this
association in making the proposed ma
tional peace carnival a grand success,
worthy the national capital, and calculated
to prove of satisfaction to all partcipa ting,
and the thousands of visitors from afar
VINO will surely visit the city at the time.
Communications have been received
from number of our fraternal and civic
organizations expressing hearty approval
and p1edging their earnest support.
We feel obligated to the press of the
city for the very generous notice given the
subject.
Presenting that you have carefully read
the press reports, We will not here present
the proposed program, which is subject to
change as arrangeme nts progress"
River and Harbor Needs.
A communication, signed by Cropley &
Boteler and other business men and firms
of the city, was read, calling the attention
of the association Ito the fact that only a
very small and inadequate sum, namely,
$4,000. has been recommended to be appro-
priated by the House river and harbor
committee for the Improvement of the Po-
tOmac river at Washington.
We consider that this amount is insig-
nificant in comparison with the amounts
appropriated for work at other cities and
by no means in proportion to the impOr
lance of the work.
rs this not matter which can have the
earnest consideration of your association,
and cannot some influence be brought to
TO secure more liberal apportionment of the
river and harbor appropriation for Wash
ington?"
A communication was received from DON
aid r. Macleod, director of the National
Guard Band, urging the interest and sup
port of the association on behalf of this
organization.
