SCORESuSE0FP PARk

Citizens Association Pro.
tests Further Contamination
offRock Creek Waters

The use of Rock Creek Park as an
outlet for sewers was openly con-
de:::ed At the meeting of the Sixteenth
Stree. .:isaiands Citizens Association
last night at the Sixth Presbyterian
Church. A resolution. framed by
Jesse Benjamin was introduced to
this effect and was unanimously
adopted
The resolution in part asked that
the association exert every pract-
cable influence to prevent furtner
contamination and diversion of the
water -of Rock Creek. 1t was stated
that the waters of the 'creek@at this
time were practically uEpolluted. but
that construction company near
the park was considering using the
creek as sewer until the main sewer We
of the city be extended; II the
creek were ever used for this purpose,
IL was believed it would be hard to
change it.
1t was further declared that not
only would the waters of the creek
be made unfit for bathing. but that
IL the creek were used as a sewer IT
would be harmful for the park
through which it runs. The matter
caused considerable interest among
the members of the association. as the
territory of the association includes
the park, and members regard 1t wfth
a source of pride. -.
Teaeher.> Pay Bill IndOrsed.
The Capper bill. relating to teach

Senate, was Endorsed by the asSocia-
tion. q. 1t was the view of Mr.. Ben
jamin. chairman of the school COM
mittee. that a higher salary for teach
ers, as set forth in the bill was nee
essary to secure and keep efficient
ones. Mr.. Benjamin also asked that
the association indorse Muzzy'ss his
tory, over which there has been con-
siderable. discussion pro and con in
the various associations. He stated
that after thorough examination
by his committee of the book nothing
could be found of an unpatriotic ma
ture.
The association. after short talk,
asked. that complaint be made
against the Capital Traction Company,
operating the Colorado avenue line.

the part of the miners, President
Thompson told the convention today
that he sees in 1t "the making of a
split in the mine workers organiza-

clared. ITO do so would be playing
directly into the hands of our COM
