NORTHWEST SUBURBS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED By crTI-
zEHs Assocrx11oH.
Urged That Commissioners should OBJ
tain Views Of the People In
Public Matters.

The principal subject discussed last even
ing at a meeting of the Citizens Northwest
SUBURBAN Association at Masonic Hall,
Tenleytown, was the right Of the Commits
sioners to make recommendations to Con-
gress without first giving notice to the pub
lie OF the locality especially affected
Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker presented reso-
luton, which was adopted. asking that the
association protest against the practice Of
the Commissioners referred to. 1t was
pointed out that in certain instances injus-
tfce had been done the public by such
recommendations of the Commissioners. In
Offering the resolution Mr.. Shoemaker said
that IT was serious disadvantage to the
people of the District for the Commission
ers to report various bills to Congress be-
iore consulting representatives OF the pub
lie. Dr. j. w. Chapel also spoke on the
subject and asked that Congress be urged
TO enact measures prohibiting the Commits
sioners from taking final action on public
matters without first learning the wishes Of
the people regarding the same.
Mr. J. l.. TAFT was strongly opposed to
the resolution. and said that the Commits
saoners are all working for the good Of the
public and that If such law passed
they would not have any time to transact
any other business. because they would be
kept busy hearing the complaints of va
rious committees of the different citizens
associations.
Shall the people of the District OF Co.
lumbia tell the Commissioners what they
want or shall the Commissioners express
the views of the people without first con-
sulting them?" Mr.. Shoemaker inquired.
He did not agree with Mr.. TAFT that the
Commissioners would be kept busy all the
time hearing the complaints of the COM
mittees.
Mr.. S. McComas Hawken expressed the
opinion that the point raised by Mr.. TAFT
was just one
