NORTH CAPITOL CITIZENS
FORM BOOSTER MEETING
Amendment Adopted Allowing As
sociation to Discuss Civic Matters
Of General Interest,

After protesting against the Borland
amendment. which requires property
owners to bear one-half the cost of
surfacing streets abutting on their
property. and petitioning the Commits
sioners to have a crossing policeman
placed at North Capitol street and
Florida avenue, the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association last
night resolved itself into a booster
meeting. The result was the adoption
Of an amendment to the constitution
to permit the association to take up
civic matters of general interest. an
amendment of the bylaws requiring
instead of bimonthly, and a resolution
permitting women to attend the meet
ings.
The matter was brought up by Rev.
C.. N. Whitmore, who several months
ago introduced the proposed amend
ments. He complained that the meet
ings were not as interesting as they
might be. When he Joined the asso-
citation. he said, 1T was at a meeting
speakers. There were nearly a hun
dred persons present and the session
was a very interesting one. Since then,
he declared, he had attended several
meetings and found only eight or nine
members present.
Can Be Made Interesting.
'I believe these meetings can be
made interesting. and the men will
come to them If they can expect some
one to speak to them on a subject of
general interest. believe these citi-
zen associations, because of our PEI
culiar form of government. are need
ed to get our wants before the Com
and Congress-"
President Thompson then outlined
some Of the previous troubles Of the
association along this line. He said
the scheme had been tried before, but
when a speaker appeared there were
usually not more than seven or eight
present, and 1t was embarrassing to
those who had extended the invitation.
He thought the plan Of Mr.. Whitmore
a good one, however, and said he was
willing to try 1t again. He said one
Of the troubles now in getting a large
was that the people who
Joined when they needed improvements
in their vicinity had obtained them and
were not willing to help the others
who needed them. However. he prom
ised to have a prominent speaker at
the October meeting and declared he
would depend upon the membership to
furnish a large audience.
