CITIZENS ANXIOUS.
Steps Taken in Favor of Prescribed
Anacostia Bridge Approach.

There was a meeting of the executive
clation held last evening at the residence
of DIR. James A. Watson, the president of
the organization POI Monroe street TO con-
slider the matter of providing an approach
to the new Anacostia bridge by an extern
sion of Monroe street. Although the COM
missioners have inserted an item of $55, 600
in their estimates to Congress covering this
matter the citizens interested fear the
necessary appropriation will not be forth
coming-or that. following a failure on the
part of Congress to act, another approach
may be decided upon.
DR. Watson called the meeting to order
and announced it's object. Secretary Charles
r. Burr reported having sent to the Com
missioners a communication bearing upon
this subject in part, as follows:
AZ am directed to communicate with you
In regard TO the causeway or approach to
the new Anacostia bridge from the Anacos-
tia side and to urge upon you the desirable
ity of the approach as suggested by Mr..
Douglas the engineer of bridges. which Is
by the Strengthening of Monroe street. etc.
The citizens are very DESTROYS that the APP
proach as suggested should be carried out,
as It is of vital Importance to this part of
the city, To allow Congress to adjourn
without passing the bill or to adopt any
other plan of approach would be fatal to
9Anacostia and the citizens therefore urge
that YOU use your utmost endeavors TO have
the bill that is before Congress passed at
this session
The advisability of securing hearing be-

fore the subcommittee of the House APP
preparations committee and of submitting
data showing the Importance of building
the approach by way of Monroe street was
discussed by DIR. Watson. Mr.. Burr. AFR
o. S. Humphrey, DIR. r.. 4. Pyies and Mr.
George o. Watson. DR.. PyIes deemed it
desirable to have some of the members OF
the subcommittee visit the scene. If pos
slbie, where they may view the conditions
DIR. Watson stated he had engaged the
services of q man who would tomorrow take
record of the amount of traffic over the
present bridge with view of placing this
data before the congressional committee to
indicate how dangerous IL is to permit of
existing conditions being allowed TO con-
tnue by having approach over a grade
crossing of a railroad company that al
ready has plans out to Increase its track
age at that point
DR.. Pyles submitted the draft as CONF
Immigration addressed to the subcommittee
of the House appropriations committee,
which the secretary was directed to EN-
body in a communication to the chairman,
setting forth the importance of building the
causeway by continuation of Monroe
street. with request that an appropriation
be made this session for the purpose. as
under the contract the new bridge is to be
completed in 1907. Request was also made
for time for proposed hearing before

The japanese Government in Formosa
to Provide for the Future.

An assured future camphor supply for tho
world has been provided for by the Japa-
nese government, according to a report or
the Department of Commerce and Labor
The report deals particularly with the pro-
auctions of the Island of Formosa The
two greatest products of the island are
castor oil and eamphor. At the present
rate of consumption the camphor trees on
the island Will last forty or fifty years. but
the japanese government Is providing for
the future by setting out millions of young
trees, and by careful conservation of the
forests expects to more than keep the sup
ply up to Its present standard.
There has been a large expansion In the
production and commerce of the island In
the past few years. Rice. coal, sweet pots-
toes. oil and jute have all increased largely.
but the expansion of trade has almost en-
tirely been with Japan. that with the out
