THREE ASSOCIATIONS OF
CITIZENS MAY UNITE
Mount Pleasant. Columbia Heights, and
Meridian Hill Residents Propose
a Combination.

It is purposed to unite into one strong
organization the Mount Pleasant, Col
Umbia Heights. and Meridian Hin citi-
zens' associations. The matter was dis
cussed at length last night at the meet
ing of the Mount Pleasant Association,
and was strongly advocated by the
president. Col. E. B. Townsend, and
several of the members.
These three associations have com
mon interests, and their maintenance
as separate bodies is felt TO be a scat
tering Of effort. Colonel Townsend said
it became necessary frequently for the
three associations to confer on import
ant questions Of public Improvement.
He said the sentiment was growing
among the members of each body that
they practically had one common end
which could be but served by a single
association. It was decided that steps
should be taken TO effect the union at
the annual meeting for the election Of
officers in May.
F. L. Averill submitted a report from
the special committee appointed 70
name a site for one OF the branch
Carnegie libraries in Mount Pleasant.
He said the committee had considered
four available lots, one Of which would
be purchased for the purpose. The
committee had a conference with the
trustees OF the Washington Public Lii
brary, and was told that the board was
not in a position TO accept the deed
of a site at the present time. MI.
Averill thought Congress would not be
willing to appropriate money for any
branch library. and unless the citizens
| bought the books and maintained the
| Libraries the gift Of the millionaire
| could not be accepted. The report
J recommended no action for the present
/ toward the acquisition OF a site for the
/ purposed building. The committee was
| continued and instructed 10 keep in
/ touch with developments in the move
4 nent to secure these branch Libraries
