West Washington Citizens Associa-
ton Discusses Bond Issue.

SAVA OAoCu6S0S 0OuQ l88Uos

ments In the District. so that each gen.
GRAFTON may bear its fair share of the bur-
den. The two principal speakers were Mr.
Louis p. Shoemaker and Judge C. 8.
Bundy.
Mr.. Shoemaker urged the necessity of
dredging the Potomac river and its Ana
costa branch, stating that such an i'm
provement would materially increase the
shipping facilities of Washington and help
eradicate the malaria occasioned by the
conditions of the Eastern branch and its
tributaries. He advocated the issue of
bonds for the purpose of securing the funds
requisite to make these unusual improve
ments. He said current expenses of the
District Of Columbia could be fully met by
the revenue received from taxes.
Judge Bundy emphasized the necessity of
widening the channel of the Potomac river
and making it one of the best waterways
south of the Hudson. He expressed the
opinion that the natural facilities for ship
ping on the Potomac were far superior to
those of any river south of the Hudson and
that with the expenditure of very little
money 1t could be made as useful, from the
standpoint OF navigation. as the great
waterway of New York
The committee on transportation reported
that the Washington Railway and Electric
company had, at the committees solicita-
ton, put into operation schedule for a
