the proximity of the burying grounds.
About 1900 bodies have been buried with
in short distance of the fltra ton plant
and the members were thoroughly arous-
ed over the danger that threatens the
health OF persons who drink the water.
This report also shows that the
drainage of the Mount Olivet and Rock
Greek cemeteries sweeps into under
ground streams which supply the natu-
raj wells which are used by many
suburban residents.
This movement, il is believed. may

FIGHT FOR TRANSFER
More Delegates Chosen to
Joint Meeting October IL.
FEAR WATERS POLLUTION

Cause of Apprehension to

FEAR WATERS POLLUTION

The fight for universal transfers in the
District and the fear that the proximity
Of Prospect Hill, Glenwood and St.
Mary's cemeteries to the city filtration
plant might cause contamination of the
District water supply engaged the men,
bers of the North Washington Citizens
Association in a lively discussion at its
first opening meeting since the summer
recess last night at the Church of the
Advent.
Only the concentration of every effort
that can be brought to bear on the Dis
trict congressional committees to convince
them that the citizens of the District are
vitality interested in the fight for uni
yersal transfers, P. V. Heating of the
Rhode Island Avenue Suburban Citizens
Association told the association, could
bring about the passage of such bill
for Washington.
He explained the proposal to get the
various citizens associations of the Dis
trict represented at a conference to be
held October Il to discuss plans for OBJ
tanning the passage of universal trans
fer bill at the next session OF Congress.
Convince Congress Members.
Mr.. Heating urged that if all the citi-
zens' associations of the District voted
unanimously upon this question. men,
hers of Congress would be convinced that
the passage of the bill was upmost in
the minds of the residents. A majority
of the associations have already con-
sented to send delegates to the meeting
and the president was authorized TO APP
point delegate to represent the North
Washington Association.
Another matter of Importance that was
taken up by the association was the at
tention. brought to bear on the three
cemeteries in that section of the city
which the members declare not only in
terfere with the development OF the sec
ton. but endanger the health of every
one in the District because of their prOX-
unity to the city filtration plant and the
reservoir for the National Soldiers
Home.
Edwin 4. Neiss. former president of the
association, offered a resolution for the
investigation of these cemeteries, which
was unanimously adopted. The matter
was then transferred TO the sanitation
committee for a thorough examination.
