Il have no connection whatever with

bills come with the same regularity they
have always come.

ecutive committee. said he was happy I"
say that the committee could report prog
ress so far as the work upon the Ana
costa fats is concerned.
w j. FriZzell chairman of the commit
tee on steam railroads, said he had been
unable to get any satisfaction in the mat
ter of getting the COMMISSIONERS TO pay
attention to the condition OF the III street
subway. Four weeks ago. he said. he
wrote the Engineer Commissioner upon
the subject. but has not received an ac-
acknowledgement He said he thought the
dampness in the subway is not as great
as II was.
But" said President Tucker. lit Is far
from good yet
DR.. Starr Parsons chairman of the COM
mittee on sanitary affairs. reported that
the pool of water complained of In front
of the Union station has been filled.
Rat Catchers Neglect Jobs.
I'm the matter of trying to do some
thing to exterminate rats said DR. Par
sons. the committee can only report
progress. People have been SO busy
catching votes that they could not do
much in the matter of catching rats
Dr. L. D. Walter. chairman of the com
mittee on police and fire departments. told
the members Of the association that The
Commissioners had ordered that the street
cars on the Columbia line stop at the
mouth of the subway. I'd and II street.
Last winter, he said. his committee rec
commended that a police officer be detailed
there. but the response TO the request
was that the authorities could not spare
a man to fill the detail.
But" he said 1.-The recent action or
the Commissioners shows they realize the
dangers existing at that point. Al the
last session of Congress the uncalled-for
child labor law was passed. and the Com
missioners found a way to detail two po-
licemen to enforce 1t, but they could not
find a way to detail one man at I'd and IL
streets to protect life

accepted an invitation to attend meet
ing Of the executive committee or the
East Washington Citizens Association, at

house, jail and other institutions from the
eastern sections of the city was discussed
The committee. he stated, prepared let
ter to be sent to the commission appointed
by the President.
While / had noe been empowered by
the association to act he said, Il told
the members of our sister association that
I was satisfied we would do all We couio
to help them.
I'VE have had the jail. worhhouse.
smallpox hospital and almShouse there
for years. and now we have leper there.
There was time when the buildings were
away from the city. but that is no longer
the case, and We should get rid of them.
The letter prepared by the East wash
ington Citizens Association was approved,
and copies of 1t will be sent to members
of the commission by both associations.
