Civic League Will Control Roland Park.
What is considered the most important move
toward municipal government by the residents
of Roland Park was taken Thursday night by
the Roland Park Civic League when that organ
ization accepted the proposition of the Roland
Park Company to assume rs per cent. of the
capital stock of the Roland Park Roads and
Maintenance Corporation.
The Roland Park Roads and Maintenance
Corporation is as yet but an idea of the Roland
Park Company. When that corporation de-
cided to organize new company for the pur-
pose of continuing the present system of main
tanning the roads, sewerage system, etc., it
decided to call in the assistance of the residents
of the park, and for the assumption of the
stated rs per cent. of the stock of the new COM
pany by the Roland Park Civic League, and
the election of nine of the twelve directors by
them. The remaining three the Roland Park
Company would select. The meeting Thurs
day night at the Woman's Club of Roland Park
was for the purpose of taking final action on
that proposition, and without dissenting voice
the league accepted the proposition.
This was followed by the nomination of nine
members of the league to act as incorporators
and directors of the new company for the re-
mainder of the present year. When the matter
was first brought before the league at its
meeting it decided to grant the right of naming
probable directors in the new corporation to
the residents. The understanding was that
three names should be proposed by the resi-
dents of each of the three plats into which
Roland Park is divided. Meetings of these
residents were held in the interim and names
were proposed. When the call was made by
DR.. H. P. Hynson, as president of the league,
representatives of each of the three plats named
their men, as follows: Plat 1, DR.. H. P. Hyn-
son, DR.. N. Gibson Porter and Mr.. William R.
