PLANS FOR IMPROVING
THE ANAC0ST|A RIVER
Members of East Washington Asso.
citation Discuss Construction Of
Dam and Bridge.

There was a small attendance at the
May meeting of the East Washington
Citizens Association last night in East
Washington Hall. Very little business
was transacted, and tho association
adjourned early.
DR.. Emmons. president of the associa-
ton: Capt W. NJ. Potter and 8 w.
Curridon participated in discussion
relative to the Improvement Of the Ana
costa river. Mr.. Curriden being
especially interested in the question OF
the construction Of dam at Massa-
chusetts avenue. He said he had seen
the dam at Harrisburg, Pa, where ex-
tensive improvements are being made
and suggested that a similar structure
across Anacostia river at Massachusetts
avenue would be beneficial.
Proposes 100000 Bridge.
The construction Of a new bridge
across the river at Pennsylvania ave-
nue. proved particularly interesting TO
DR.. Emmons. He suggested resolu-
tion asking that a new bridge be con-
structed at cost Of 100000. Objec-
ton to making such a request was
voiced by Mr.. Curriden.
Not because think such bridge is
not needed" said Mr.. Curriden, but
think this is not the proper time to
make the request.
The association finally decided to in
vite the associations in the eastern sec
tion of the city and county to send two
delegates to meet two members of their
association for a discussion of what
should be asked of Congress in the
mater Of better bridge facilities.
DIR. Emmons complained of the al
legged insanitary condition of the Ben
ming dump. He said that waste paper
is piled fifty feet high. and that it will
be a mosquito breeder this summer.
Such waste, he said. is too cheap to
ship, and he suggested that it should
covered with other debris.
