Discusses Congressional Inquiry.

Louis P Shoemaker. president of the
association, introduced a resolution
bearing on the action of Congress in
appointing committee for the purpose
of considering the financial relations of
the District of Columbia with the
United States, which committee is lat
er to submit report of its Work TO
Congress as to what change, IL any,
should be made. He said he believed
that the people of the District would
commend this action on the part OF
Congress, rather than the suggested or
proposed and much-feared hasty aboli-
tion of the organic act of 1878. and
would expect the same thoughtful and
considerate course which was pursued
as to its establishment.
The resolution as adopted expresses
appreciation and thanks to Congress
for it's action, and to the President of
the Senate and the Speaker OF the
House of Representatives for their
wise. judicious and thoughtful care in
naming the members of this commit
tee, and expressing the confident hope
that the committee would carefully and
Judiciously act, with due regard for the
interests not only of the United States,
but of the unrepresented and dependent
people of Washington. The resolution
was adopted unanimously.
In this connection Mr.. Shoemaker
also presented a resolution, which was
