TREASURER OF CONGRESS

some disappointment resulted among
the delegates to the National Drain-
age Congress over the failure of Con-
gresham Burton, OF Delaware, to get
action on his contemplated resolution
requesting the congress to go on record
as favoring the starting of the drain
age experiment work In Maryland and
Delaware. The Delaware representa-
tive had every intention of submitting
the resolution, but after talking the
matter over he decided that such a
resolution would be out Of place in
view Of the fact that the congress, fail
ed to commit itself to any particular
legislation. DIR. Burton declared that
he would work I'm that direction in
Washington and, with the aid of the
Maryland congressman, hoped TO get
such a proviso in the measure to be
drawn up in the future.
BY unanimous vote of the delegates
a resolution calling attention TO the
vast area OF swamp lands in the
United states and requesting that the
national government make an appro-
priation sufficiently large to carry on
the work to a final contamination IN
every State was offered and adopted.
Owing to the fact that b. II. Girls
void, of Baltimore, who was unani-
mously elected treasurer OF the Ma
tional Drainage Association on Tues
day, declined the honor the committee
on nominations substituted tho name
Of II. Coleman dupont, of this city.
Mr dupont received the unanimous
vote Of the congress.
