Subdividing Citizens Associations.

With due regard for the desirability of
full organization of the people Of the
District into neighborhood citizens asso-
Citations, to insure the fullest possible dis
cussion of local matters and participa-
ton by dwellers In all parts of the Dis
trict in such management of local affairs
as is here possible, it may be suggested
that there is danger of overriding this
process through superfluous organiza-
tons. The other night a new citizens
association was formed, not because of
the growth and development Of the local
ity, but owing to a split caused by diff
ference of opinion respecting the loca-
ton of schOolhouse. Subdivision on
such grounds as this has a weakening
tendency. One large representative or
ganization is better, for general purposes,
than two small organizations with over
tapping territory. Differences over such
questions as the location of schoolhouses
and fire engine houses are surely sus-
ceptible of compromise and adjustment
The Commissioners are looking now to
the citizens associations for help and
suggestions i'm municipal details, and it
will be a very unsatisfactory condition if
through failure to agree upon neighbor-
hood matters the, associations split and
subdivide until they are factionally in
spired rather than representative of areas
and neighborhoods.

elimination or Transformation there will
be a certain degree of private enterprise
in the building of cheap, sanitary homes
to replace those destroyed. But so far as
these constructions are conducted by
philanthropic organizations they will be
necessarily limited for lack of funds.
while If this line of construction is left
to commercial enterprise there is no as
surance that the buildings provided, how
ever. sanitary in design and equipment.
will be offered at sufficiently reasonable
rentals to attract those in need of cheap
dwellings,
DR.. Nemenyi lays stress upon the fact
that Washington offers few problems in
this matter of slum treatment as it is
not an industrial center. In light of this
fac: 1t is deplorable that no greater
progress has been made toward the alley
slun elimination. Attention was called
been then taken in hand constructively
and progressively this city would today
have been without any of these evil
centers of physical and moral disease,
which are so harmful to the health Of
the community. At least ten years Of
continuous destruction and construction
will be necessary, in any broad program
local slums. but this is q short period
when the conditions in other cities are
considered, and the fact should encourage
vigorous work this winter to secure the
needed legislation.

The poor down -trodden farmer is forever

Now Lem is jes' about as slick as any
one we know
In gettin' folks together an recitin' tales
of woe.
An he knows our troubles better than
we do, beyond a doubt.
In fact. Lem allus seems the very first to

Washington's Alleys.

The comparative observations as 10
slum conditions of DR.. Nemenyi of Buda-
pest after a tour of American cities are
OF particular interest at this time when
the subject of local slums is under direct
consideration. He is wholly right in his
declaration that Washington, not being
an Industrial center, with few and simple
social problems, should have no slums
at all, and this is the point to which the
forces now enlisted in the effort to OBJ
tain new legislation on the subject of
alleys are working. DR.. Nemenyi speaks
particularly Of the remarkable trans
formation effected at Willow Tree alley.
which was formerly fostering Stun and
is now in process of development as a
park But the Willow Tree alley expert
ment has not gone to the root of the local
evil 1t has destroyed an evil condition.
but il has not supplied wholesome
housing facilities for the former dwellers.
who are doubtless now distributed
through other alley slums. and their re-
moyal has thus been disadvantage
rather than an advantage. inasmuch as
they have by shifting merely added to
the congestion in the untouched centers.
The bill which is now contemplated by
the Commissioners for introduction at
the regular session, looking TO the cure
of the alley evil, is aimed at only the
elimination aspect of this problem and
does not OF itself provide for the con-
struction of homes in numbers and at
rental rates adequate 10 meet the needs
of the poor. 1t is assured that in the
event Of any systematic. progressive alley
