CITIZENS OF PETWORTH
HOLD BUSINESS Meeting
Association Adopts New Constitu-
ton and Bylaws and Hears
Committee Reports.

The principal business considered by
the Petworth Citizens Association at
its April meeting last night was the
adoption of a new constitution and by
laws. One of the changes was in the
night. President Paul e. Lesh,
who presided, explained that as q num-
Der of the members of the association
were affiliated with the Chamber Of
Commerce, which meets the second
Tuesday of each month. and desired to
attend those meetings, 1t was thought
best to change the association meet
ing to the third Tuesday Of each
month, and the date of the election OF
officers was changed from January to
September.
Following a discussion these changes
of the constitution were adopted. The
meetings are to be held in the future
at the Presbyterian Church, Georgia
and New Hampshire avenues.
