The telephone management should
round up those employed in putting up
wires This morning on 7th street a
bicycle rider narrowly escaped serious
injury by wire being fastened from
the middle OF the street down an alley.
An expressman called attention to the
obstruction Just before the wheelman
reached the wire. and by jumping was
saved from being caught about the
neck. which would undoubtedly have
proved serious. The workman in
charge came up. and when taken to
task. impudently replied: What are
you going to do about it," Such OBJ
structions in the street without being
guarded are criminal and should re-
suit In prosecution of the guilty par
ties. and The Herald calls upon the
company to investigate the matter.

BROOKLAND CITIZENS THE FIRST.
Instructed Secretary to Invite the
Opinions of Others.

The Brookland Citizens Association
took the initiative among the various cit
liens associations of the District when
it voted to instruct the secretary to ad-
dress letters TO each association asking
them to appoint two representatives 10
meet in conference next Friday night at
Wilton ]. Lambert's office to discuss
means for raising funds for permanent
| improvements in the District of Columbia.
The Brookland Citizens Association
proposes TO have Congress loan $40, 600, 600
TO be used in various improvements in
the District. The Improvements which
the association thinks are most needed
are filtration plant, a better and more
extensive system of sewers a municipal
building, and the introduction of Potomac
water into the suburbs.
DR.. Theodore Y. Hull, chairman of the
commute on sanitation, read paper rel
ative to the water and sewer service in
Brookland. He said in part:
Pure water, prompt removal of sewer
age products, and perfect drainage are
essential to health The residents of the
outlying sections are compelled to de-
pend upon wells for water supply. With
every additional house the danger of
sewage contaminated water increases.
The wells receive much that should go
into the sewers, disease germs multiply
and sickness results. 1t is well known
among sanitariumG that certain diseases
that decimate the human race are pre-
ventable. The susceptibility of individ-
uals to consumption is much increased
by unsanitary conditions, damp cellars,
etc. Diphtheria is rendered more violent
by the same conditions, and typhoid fever
may be said to be purely a product of
them. 1t is the duty OF every community
to make such use Of sanitary measures
as will prevent premature deaths and un-
necessary sickness.
Bad sewerage is the usual cause OF
contamination. and a contaminated well
may infect a whole community. We have
numerous illustrations of this. A con-
taminated well in Brookland a few years
ago caused a dozen or more cases of sick
ness. A small town in Pennsylvania had
1000 cases, with ia deaths from con-
taminated water.
ION the Introduction OF Potomac water
the speaker continued, into BrOokland
the number of cases fell off 70 per cent.
There were but three cases OF typhoid in
this community the past year. and two
of these could not be attributed to Brook
land, as the disease was caught in other
places. Only one of them was really a
Brookland case"
The resignation OF c. A. Harbaugh as
secretary OF the association was received.
IL was accepted with regret, and a vote of
the faithful work he has given the asso-
citation.
Mr.. Z. B. Ellis was unanimously elected
to fill the vacancy.
After the transaction OF a few unimpor-
tant matters the meeting adjourned.

DISCUSSED PLAN BEFORE.
Scheme of Union Not u New One to
the Georgetown Body.

The Georgetown Citizens Association
met last night and adopted a resolution
favoring the union OF all similar bodies
in the District Into central organization
on some basis OF representation to be de-
termined upon which viii give equal vot-
ing power to each organization.
This subject has been under discussion
in the Georgetown Association for the
past six months. and the action last night
was the result of report submitted by a
special committee appointed to present
to the association some practicable plan
for the contamination of the object
sought. II was the opinion of the com
mittee that each citizens association
should have at least two representatives
in the central body. and they favored the
sending Of the president and secretary of
each body TO the congress OF associa
tionS."
The meeting adjourned after a brief
session, TO enable the officers and some
Of the members to attend the meeting of
Tenleytown association and present. he

METHODS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT.
Three of the Seventeen Local Rodics
Held Sessions and Agreed to Tn
hold the Plan for the Bet:ermcnt
OF the Districts Condition by
Jcint Action Hereafter.

The chief topic discussed at the Ten
leytown Citizens Association last night
was the resolution presented by C. c.
lancaster, president of the organization.
to form union Of similar bodies in the
District to he known as the United Citi-
zens' Association. The resolution referred
TO presented in a preamble that there are
at present seventeen Of these organiza-
tions in different parts of the municipal
ity of local character and that under
existing circumstances they are more or
less in conflict as to the objects sought
The resolution stated that 1t was the
sense of the Tenleytown association that
central body should be formed. includ-
ing the Board of Trade and the Business
Mems Association, to be composed of the
president and secretary of each organiza-
tion. for the purpose of considering and
acting upon matters of general interest
10 the entire District.
EIecGnS Represc
The discussion of the question related
chiefly to the matter of representation
rather than the necessity for such an or
5dEILdl lIcD ne Deeu C1 Sucn o DOQy
was conceded by all. but several speakers
took the ground that the elective idea
should enter into the choice CT delegates
rather than that the officers of the re-
spective associations should represent
them. This view was vigorously presented
by Col. James l.. Tate and by Prof. w. B.
Ireland.
After the resolution was explained by
Mr. Lancaster, it was finally adopted as
presented. There were present several
members Of the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation, who participated in the discus
sion.
a resolution presented by H. s. Gott
expressed the disappointment felt by the
people of Tenleytown that the will of Con-
gress had not been carried into effect in
the purchase of the property adjoining
the public school and the fitting up of the
same as a manual training and cooking
school. The resolution included a clause
to the effect that representations should
be made to the Board of Education urging
the expenditure of the appropriation of
$500 made by the last Congress for the
purpose named.
The association. at the instance Of the
secretary, DR.. Chappelle, approved OF the
plan for the establishment of medical in
spection in the public schools formulated
by the district Medical Society.
