CONGRESS OF IMPROVEMENT ASSO-
CITATIONS.

MeSsrS EditOTs:-I read copy of your paper
this morning and appreciate very much the in
terest you have taken in helping to bring about
the formation of the congress of the various i'm
provement associations of Baltimore county,
and have good reasons to believe that it will
bear good and wholesome fruit. If all of the
associations will lend their aid to bring about
this movement am sure much good can be ac-
complished.
Improvement associations, to certain extent,
are Just as necessary in a community as are
churches. The improvement association tends
to uplift and elevate the good and moral condi-
ton of community, while the church is taking
care of and preparing us for the hereafter. LII
this is true then it becomes necessary that both
institutions should work in conjunction with
each other to bring about these results.
The object of the congress of improvement
associations is not to prevent but to assist the
bringing about of all good and useful laws for
the benefit of our county, as we'll as State at
large; not to criticize any political party, but to
assist the oflice-holder to perform his duty, no
matter what his political affiliations may be; to
give our aid in bringing about all good improve,
ments to help to make Baltimore county equal
if not greater than any in this glorious country
of ours; to cement the good fellowship now ex-
listing between the counties in our State and
Baltimore city, the great metropolis of the
South; to assist our county officials to keep our
taxes down and give us the best possible govern
ment at the least expense to assist our legisla-
tors at Annapolis to introduce laws that are
just and equitable to the classes; to recommend
to them laws that are necessary to our welfare
and repeal any now on our statute books that
are not.
In my opinion this congress of improvement
associations can best be illustrated by comparing
our states with the United States. Each and
every one of our improvement associations rep
resents state and our congress of associations
represents the United States. By combining
our associations into one federated body unites
them, as it were, into one United States. In
union there is strength, and if we stand together
much good is sure to result for all the people.
The place for holding the convention has been
secured and constitution and bylaws prepar-
ed, subject to the approval of the delegates.
This have done to avoid delay in perfecting the
