At the regular monthly meeting Of the
East End Suburban Citizens Association
held last evening at 1896 H street north
east, President William H. Ernest in his
address to the association said:
''Since our last meeting death has
claimed one of our most prominent fellow
citizens, the late Crosby 8. Noyes, dis
tinguished journalist, successful business
man, philanthropist and exemplar of the
prime virtues Of true American citizen
ship.
ut seems to me as fitting that we
should bestow more than passing notice
on the death of such a man as Mr.. Noyes,
of whom President Roosevelt said, He
was one of the two or three most dis
tinguished citizens of the District Of CO.
lumbia.' l recommend that suitable resO-
buttons of respect be spread on the min
uteS OF our association.
The suggestion was adopted by unani-
nous vote, and the secretary was directed
to inscrbe suitable memorial on the
records of the association.
Several recommendations made by Presi-
dent Ernest were adopted, among them
being one to oppose the passage by Con-
gress of any relief bills until SUCH time
as we have our roads opened and i'm
proved and sidewalks laid: that an eff
fort be made to get all owners of prop
erty along Benning road to join the assO-
citation whose work was said to be largely
for their benefit; that an inquiry be made
as to who it was that tore up the street
railway track laid by the Washington.
Spa Spring and Gretta Electric Railroad
Company on Bladensburg road. said track
having been laid by the company the lat
ter part of February and torn up and re-
moved about ten days later.
