Believing that Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire, chairman of the Senate DIS
trict committee, and Representative
Samuel w. Smith of Michigan, chairman
of the House District committee, have not
received the credit due them for their
work in behalf of the District of Column
bia. a resolution was adopted last night
| at a meeting of the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association. express
| ing the appreciation of the association
for their efforts in behalf of the District
| of Columbia.
W. G. Henderson, chairman Of the rail-
way committee of the association, who
presented the resolution, said more good
had been done in the past twelve months
for the District of Columbia than by any
other legislation. He said the members
of the House and Senate District COM
mtteeS do not get enough credit for the
work they do. and in order that the true
| conditions may be known the citizens as
lsociations ought to make a personal recog-
milton in the form of a public expression
| to them of their work. MIR. Henderson
said that Representative Smith, who Is
| running for reelection in Michigan, is
| having a hard fight to retain his seat and
| that he only secured legislation in con-
| nection with the railways of the District,
where the railway companies would be
benefited. This said Mr.. Hender-
| son, lis false and no more unjust charge
could be made against a man who has
| worked hard to aid the citizens of the
| District of Columbia"
| The resolution was adopted and the sec
| rotary directed to transmit copies of 1t
| to both the chairmen of the House and
| Senate District committees.
