The question of the reclamation of the
Anacostia flats was brought to the atten-
ton of the association by Gen. Yoder. A
resolution repeating the necessity for
prompt action and indorsing the bill that Ia
to be presented to the Commissioners was
passed.
Massachusetts, Avenue improvements.
Mr.. Girouard presented a resolution pro-
testing against the Improvement Of Massa-
chusetts avenue between 18th and 18th
streets. In a resolution he presented to
the association 1t was recited that certain
streets recommended by the association for
improvement had been neglected, and he
thought the association should protest
against the proposed improvement which is
to be done at the request of persons not
connected with the association. President
Smith also thought the association had been
ignored in the matter by tire Commission
ers While he thought the word protest
might be eliminated from the resolution he
thought 1t should be so worded that peo-
pie might be able to read between the
lines The resolution was amended upon
motion of Mr.. Coldren and passed.
Before adjournment Mr.. Williams moved
that the association place itself upon rec
ord SO heartily indorsing the President for
the reappointment of Commissioner West
and for the extension Of the term of Com
missioner Biddle.
