Request Denied by Congress.

Notice has been sent to- the Takoma
Park Citizens Association by the Com
missioners to the effect that they cannot
approve the proposed amendment to the
laws governing taxation in reference to
the sewer service for Takoma Park.
The Commissioners say that this suggest
ed change is only a repetition of the
orders Of March last. The association
at that time was notified by the Commits
sioners that Congress had already given
consideration. to the proposal advanced by
the Commissioners looking to the pay
ment to the authorities of Takoma Park
OF a sum to provide sewerage in the
vicinity. and the request was denied by
Congress.
The Commissioners say that after care
full consideration they believe that the
renewed request would meet with the
same fate. and that they see no reason
to change their previous decision.

With President.

The opposition Of labor to the nomina-
ton of W. S. Rossiter as public printer
took on an important aspect today when
James NJ. Lynch. president Of the Inter-
national Typographical Union, one of the
great labor organizations of the country,
and r. c. Parsons, president Of the local
union of the same organization, quietly
told the President that the printers of the
country would like to see g. practical

made before the cabinet meeting, and

Lynch did not 1t Ia stated, mention the
name Of Mr.. Rossiter who is personally

The visit of Mr.. Lynch to the White

now claimed that MIR. Stillngs was not
a practical printer. and for that reason
was not competent to handle the affairs

they did not fight him before he was
