1T has always seemed b me- that one of
the functions of associations such as ours
should be to bring the people more closely
together, and to this end think the work
of our efficient entertainment committee
has been and will be of great service.

so far your president is concerned, to
give due consideration to all important mat
ters which may be brought before it. look
ing not only to the betterment of our own
surroundings, but those in the District and
adjace territory as well. i WISH however
to emphasize the fact that the association
does not care to be put in the position of
attempting to dictate or say how the gen.
eral affairs of the District shall be con-

not have a more efficient set Of officers than
our present District Commissioners, and
| that they are working with might and main
to advance in every way the best interests
of the District of Columbia.

having to do with matters outside of local
ana1rs. think we cannot be too cautious
as to the way in which they are handled
We wish as association to do everything
in our power to build up the entire COM
munity, through our schools, through the
improvements in our parks and streets and
other affairs generally. Whatever efforts
are undertaken in this direction however
should be along the lines of co-opera ton
