DECLINES TOPROPOSE
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton Objects to Half Costs Put on
Property Owners.

The Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation voted last night to notify the
Commissioners that the organization re-
fuses to make recommendations for street
improvements in its territory on account
Of the Borland amendment, which divides
the cost of paving between the District
and property owners. The action was
taken only after hot fight.
There will be grass growing in the
streets of the District before the property
owners will ask for Improvements" said
c. C. Lancaster. who urged that the
Borland amendment should be repealed
and that the citizens of the District should
work for its repeal during the next Con-
gress.
Recommendations Voted Down.
Hv Speelman and others did not agree
with this view of the street improve
ment question, and moved that the asso-
citation make recommendations to the
Commissioners The motion was lost.
]. Clinton Hiatt then moved that the
association make recommendations, con-
tingent on the approval of property own
ers concerned. This motion was lost by
vote of 9 to s, when it was pointed out
that the Commissioners do not, in any
case, have to find opt whether abutting
property owners desire or do not desire
their streets improved.
The motion to refuse to make recon-
mendations and to tell the Commissioners
why was then put by Max kohner and
adopted.
On motion of Mr. Hiatt the association
will petition Congress Ito enact law for
safeguard against a possible spread of
infantile paralysis next summer. On mo-
ton of DR.. Thompson, the Commissioners
will be requested to put back on 18th
street the sprinkling carts which formerly
did such efficient service in laying dust.

 There must be plenty of butter for sealloped oysters, and many house keepers prefer bread to cracker crumbs, as they arc less soggy when cooked.

So the lawyer wrote the debtor q let.
