PLANS FOR RAISING MONEY.
Central Committees Action Ap-
proved by C0mmissIOners-


The action taken by the central com
mittee Of the Citizens Associations Of the
District last night considerably interested
the Commissioners. While Mr. Macfar-
land. the president OF the Board. dis
claimed any knowledge Of the bill pre-
sented and discussed or any participation
in its drifting he felt that the action
taken in reference to the raising Of flnds
TO relieve the stress upon the municipal
finances would have good and sadslac-
tory results.
Mr.. MaciarIand thought. as did the
majority Of the committee, that the nam
ing Of specific appropriations for specific
purposes would avail little until the ar
rangements had been perfected for pro-
viding the funds for such improvements.
Mr.. A. F. Kinnan. Of the Brookland Citi-
Zcns- Association, was AZ the District
Building this morning and expressed his
satisfaction at the turn Of affairs last
night
While the bill presented by him was not
formally endorsed by the meeting. stHu
the method Of raising funds for public
improvement by advances from the Treas
Ury rather than by q municipal loan was
set forth in the resolution adopted
Furthermore Mr. Kinnan said that the
ohlcers or each association had taken the
hnl with them for presentation to the
bOdles which they represent TO be dis
cuSsed by them and acted upon before the
next meeting of the central committee

In the course OF a discussion today rela-

fury. Any act by the old grand jury done
after January I. it is contended. IS just
as illegal as an act which might be done
