ties must be bettered. Our building,
though once enlarged imperatively de-
mands further addition to accommodate
the increase in number of the children
enrolled.
Then we are confronted with the ne
cessity for improvement in our streets.
Petworth has peculiar needs in this re-
spect. When entire blocks are being i'm
proved and people are purchasing these
new houses almost before their compile
ton we feel that it is only reasonable
our streets should receive attention COM
mensurate With the improvement of the
abutting property.
I'm the matter Of park improvements
Petworth is also vitality interested. In
our subdivision lies q tract of land which
for park purposes is unsurpassed by any
In the District. Its commanding position
as viewpoint for the surrounding coun-
try. its grove Of stately trees and the
many other features evidencing it's natu-
raj adaptability for a park have prompt
ed us to ask for it's acquisition for this
purpose. Being in the direct line Of the
improvements contemplated by the Nc
MILAN parking commission for the beau
LITIGATION of Washington. we are encour-
aged to believe that the authorities will
not disregard public sentiment favoring
the acquisition of this ground for park
purposes"
Equitable Division of Public Funds.
L. H. Patterson, Northeastern Suburban
Citizens Association-'The association
will investigate and duly consider the
all-important question of the division of
the. funds appropriated by Congress for
street improvements and to determine
whether the northeastern section Of the
District is getting fair proportion of
said funds. The question Of electing the
District Commissioners and a delegate to
Congress will also be carefully consid-
cred.
"Other matters to be discussed will be
sue of water tax and the question of a
suitable location for park for this Sec
tion.''

Benning Section.
W. H. Richardson, Benning Citizens
Association:
1--WE greatly appreciate the statement
of the Commissioners that they are going
to give more money and attention to the
development and Improvement of this sec
ton of the District. We have asked them
to include in their budget the following
specific items:
"The elimination Of the railroad cross
ing and the Strengthening. widening and
matchmaking Of Minnesota avenue. This
alone will do more for our locality than
any other one thing.
1--WE also ask for sewer service and
that our residents be enabled to avail
themselves of the water service system,
which was laid last year. We also ask
for the Improvement of Foot street east
from Minnesota avenue, in Benning, and
the installing of lights In this street; the
improvement Of Ord street, west from
Kenilworth avenue and Quarles street
east from kenilworth avenue both in
Kenilworth; and the filing in and grad
ing around the fire engine house at Ben
ming, are also urged.
lone Of the needs Of this section OF the
District Is the widening Of Benning road
from 18th street, east to Benning. This
Is q matter that should have the support

THE Northeast Washington Citizens
Association. which is one of the oldest
civic organizations in the District, will
resume its monthly meetings Monday,
October IA. 1t is expected the coming
year will be one Of the most important
periods in the life of the association.
Among the questions now pending be-

are:
"The establishment of a public utilities
commission; interchange of free trans
fers between all street railway lines in the
District; regulation of the business of
lending money in the District, commonly
known as the loan shark bilr; extension
Of street railway lines in East Washing
ton; opening Of West Virginia avenue
from the intersection of 9th and streets
northeast to Florida avenue: widening Of
Bennings road and the acquisition of the
Graceland cemetery property for a pub
lie park.
''Other questions which will receive the
careful consideration Of the association
are the George report on the subject of
assessments and taxation: the construc-
ton of q cOmmOdious auditorium or con-
vention hall, to serve as a suitable place
In which to hold inaugural balls and con-
ventions and the erection of new high
school building in East Washington for the
tuition of all the courses Of study now
taught in the various high schools of the
District. Vigorous efforts will be made to
secure larger appropriations for improve
ments. The association will continue it's
efforts to have the jail and all other OBJ

DIR. Z. d. Thompson, North Capitol and

North Capitol and lexington Citizens
Association is going to work for the en-
largement of the Gage School to sixteen
rooms: site for new school in the
vicinity of Rhode Island avenue and 4th
street northeast: truck house in the
vicinity of North Capitol street and

Prospect Hill; the opening of New York
avenue east from Florida avenue; the
paving of North Capitol street north from

for Rhode Island avenue from North
Capitol street to Lincoln road, and band
concerts in Mcmillan Park.
THE residents in this vicinity have a
long distance to travel to hear band con-

ideal place to have concerts and would
be accessible to a very large population.

RAILROAD RUM OR
Another Story That the Milwaukee
is Coming This Year
HEADED FOR DULUTH
Reported That Line Will Be Built
From OrtOnyilIe to the Head
of the Lakes

The latest railroad story is to the
effect that the Milwaukee is TO build
line from, Ortonville TO Duluth in
order to give direct outlet for its
transcontinental line from the Paci-
tic coast to the head of the lakes
Dispatches have it that the company
is making extensive improvements at
Ortonville and that that city is to be
made division headquarters. T h e
dispatches state that this move on
the part of the Milwaukee road is the
forerunner of another improvement,
namely, building line to Duluth.
Some months ago "blind' company
filed articles of Incorporation for the
avowed purpose of starting line
from that vicinity TO Duluth, and
many believe that the company was
subsidiary to the Milwaukee.
That the Milwaukee has long de-
sired to get into Duluth there is no
doubt, but western extensions and
improvements and other matters have
delayed progress in this matter.
Now that the coast line is finished
and in operation, it has been expect
ed for some time that the company
would again take up the matter of
getting entrance to the city. The
Ortonville improvements, it is agreed,
show that something big is afoot, for
with the lines the road now has in
that direction there are ample divi-
sion facilities. Minneapolis is divi-
sion headquarters and Aberdeen, s..
d, is another. ,Montevideo is sort
of subdivision, half way between, and
there the shops are placed.
1t is believed that the reported es-
Establishment of division headquarters
at Ortonville, ninety-nine miles from
Aberdeen, means the establishment
of much heavier traffic e. nc, -, !, .,..s
If this line is8te be built it wilfpro-
bably run tl4rough Morris, Alexandria
Or Sank Centre and then on to Du-
luth; going sonth OF the 500. Or, it
might run north Of Mile Laos Lake.
Anyway, the matter has caused con-
siderable speculations in railroad CIR
