UPBU1LDING OF THE CITY.
league to Solicit the Establishment
of Industries in Suburbs.

To raise the population of Washington
TO the half million mark is the plan of a
humber of business men who met yester-
day afternoon in the office of J. L.
Waring, Kellogg building. and formed
tentative arrangements for Halt
Million League. The league hopes to in
crease the population Of the National
Capital by inducing manufacturers to
locate their plants in the suburbs OF
Washington.
J. L. Warning was elected temporary
president of the league and j. Walter
Mitchell, secretary. another meeting OF
the league will be called the latter part
Of this week
The league does not advocate that the
factories should encroach upon the resi-
dent sections of the city, but believes
there is plenty of land available in the
District outside the city limits which
may be used for industries which would
make Washington a larger business cen
ter.
The project will be laid before the
Board of Trade and the Chamber Of Com
merce at an early date and an attempt
made to interest those organizations in
the movement. A petition favoring the
plan Of the league has been drawn uI
,and will be circulated among the vari-
'ous citizens associations.
