East Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION Chided by Lin
coin Park Body.

George HI. Linkins created surprise at
last nights meeting Of the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association by attacking the
East Washington Citizens Association,
Capt. James NJ Potter, president. He
protested that the older association had
been dealing with matters Of interest to
the people in the territory covered by the
Lincoln Park Association. His resolu-
ton contained an objection to the al
legged encroachment upon the territory OF
the association of which he is a mem.
Der, and also a statement that the Com.
missioners and members of the District
committees Of Congress will be informed
of the interests which are to be SO zeal
ously looked after by the association.
Conflict of Boundaries.

oldest civic bodies in the District, and
that when it was organized many years
ago it's constitution was so formulated
that it's work covered the territory cas-,
of North and South Capitol streets. The
Lincoln Park Association embraces the
area east of 9Th street east between g

to as declaration Of Independence
On motion Of A. Hunt, the association
voted hearty Endorsement Of the effort
made by the Commissioners to secure a
self-sustaining garbage reduction plant
at OccoQuan.

H. c. Colerider moved that the people
of the District be congratulated because
Of the preliminary steps that have been
taken to develop the waterpower at Great
Falls. Its development. he declared, will
result in making Washington a more pros.
porous and thriving city. Mr.. Coleride1
said:
1T was stated on the floor Of the House
that about $1,000 horsepower could be de.
veloped by these falls. If this could
come the finest smokeless manufacturing
city in this country. This would enable
our young men and women to find some
other employment than the government
against them. Thousands who are now
compelled to leave their homes and seek
employment in other cities could then re-
main at home and build up our city"

smokeless city. The motion was
adopted.
c. A vanderlip offered a resolution
reciting that the growth Of the city
has brought several cemeteries within
the more densely populated sections
and that it is wrong for children t.
have to be reared with such insanitary
places at their back yards. His reso-
luton asked the support of the various
civic organizations in an agitation
looking to the ultimate removal OF
such cemeteries.
President Edwards said the plan al.
ready on foot is to have intermenti
stopped within five years and the re.
moval of the cemeteries within fifteen
years. The mover of the resolution &C.
copied the explanation as being an ap.
parently proper move.
Charles E. Riordan offered q resolu
ton calling on the government to re.
move what he termed "a penitentiary.
looking barrier" around the Botanic
Garden.
