by Capital City League Picked
from Officers of ComnlissIOn--Can
BE Abolished by Majority Vote

City League carried it's point for dis
interested committee. the committee APP
pointed was picked from the commission,
and It is hard to see where the North
Capitol street league has gained by the
change. At any rate, the balance of
power lies with the league presidents
constituting the board of managers, or
the commission, and at any time the
committee of three appointed last Mon
day can be removed by majority vote.
