PETWORTH GROUP
TO SEEK FOUNTAIN
Citizens Want BarthoIdf De-
sign for Grant CirCIe-vote
Aid for Needy.

The committee on parks and play
grounds of the Petworth Citizens
Association was instructed to en-
deavor to secure the Bartholdi foun-
tain, which Is to be moved from Its
present location in the Bonatic
Garden, for erection in Grant Circle,
at meeting In Masonic Temple last
night the association also voted
500 to the fund for establishment
of a library in the Petworth School,
A committee, headed by L. T. Jones
as chairman and E. c. Davis, Mrs
r. j. F. McElroy and Mrs. Margaret
Shdy, was appointed to provide for
needy families in the Petworth sec
ton at Christmas. Twenty-Five dollars
was voted for the purpose. F. P. Mar
vine was awarded a turkey.
Dlsapproval of granting the vote
to District residents was voiced by
Representative JEFF Busby of Missts-
sippd. He said that It would be i'm
practical to make State out of
Washington because of its size, and
contended that representation in
Congress is not necessary. He also
expressed belief that Congress would
not be inclined to grant the right Of
suffrage at any time in the near
future. Comparison of tax rates be-
tween his State and the District, he
declared, does not indicate that taxes
here are exorbitant. The rate in
Mississippi, he said, is SIS per hundred,
as against the District rate of $1.4s
