CLUB TOPASS
ON NCITYLAWS
Legislative Group Will Give
Advice on New
Bills.

A charter setting forth the scope
Of activities Of the law and legis-
lation group of the City Club were
adopted at a meeting last night at
the clubhouse.
The group will obtain q copy of
every bill introduced Id Congress
relating to the District and will
consider all proposed legislation
and will cooperate from time to
time through it's committees with
similar committees from the Cham
per OF Commerce, the Board of
Trade and citizens associations.
The group will also be prepared
a. all times to discuss uestions of
law that may affect the District.
Meetings will be suspended for
the summer season but will be re-
sumed early in September.
I am convinced that the members
OF Congress want to do what is
right for the people of the District"
said Alexander Wolf, chairman Of
the group, but usually they are
kept at sea as to what the people
really want. Various organizations.
frequently prompted by selfish mo-
tives. take conflicting sides on va
rious questions. There is a lack of
unity, Of concerted effort.
This group should strive to
bring about. unity OF expression
on matters of legislation, SO that
ongress will not be confused as to
the wants Of the people"
