DESIRES COUNCIL
TO REPRESENT ALL
Suter Opposed to Idea of
Sectional Members Asked
by Southwest Citizens.

Pointing out that the citizens ad-
visory council is being created to
work for the advancement of the en-
one locality, Jesse c. Suter, president
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, today appealed to all neigh
borhood bodies to cooperate in max
ing the council a success.
While Mr.. Suter was making this
plea for united action in getting the
council established, the executive
committee of the South Washington
Citizens Association was arranging to
call a special meeting of the associa-
ton to protest against the fact that
the membership of the council is not
apportioned among the four sections
of the city.
May Appeal Case.
George NJ. Yeatman. president of
the South Washington association,
said his organization will consider GO
ing to the District Commissioners with
it's objections to the proposed method
of electing the council.
President Suter said today it was
unfortunate that the question of sec
tional representation has been raised,
since the whole idea in creating a
citizens council was to provide an
agency that could advise the Com
missioners on matters of interest to
the city in its entirety.
The main objection of the residents
of southwest has been that because
there are so many delegates in the
federation from the northwest ter
ritory, there would be nothing to pre-
vent the northwest associations from
electing all six of the councilmen from
their section of the city.
Wants United Action.
Mr.. Suter declared today that he
has no knowledge of any attempt on
the part of the delegates to elect only
residents of the northwest section to
the council.
Il am confident" Mr.. Suter said
that the council as proposed will be
success and 1 hope there will be
united action on the part of all the
associations in the federation in ac-
complishing that result.
THE success of the council will de-
pend largely upon the election of
nominees who will consider in broad
minded way the welfare of the entire
city"
Mr.. Suter said the modern tendency
in other cities is TO pick a council
from the community at large rather
than on the basis of sectional repre-
Sentation.
VIII Elect Eight
The plan under which the election
is TO be held two weeks hence calls
for the naming of six members by
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions and two by the Federation
of Civic Associations, the latter rep
resenting the colored population.
Mr.. Yeatman of the South Wash
ington Association contends there
should be definite number of mem
bers on the council from each Of the
four sections of the city.
Members of the federation expressed
the belief today that the rule adopted
Saturday night permitting delegates
to vote for less than six nominees on
each ballot taken may have the effect
of prolonging the election.
Several delegates pointed out that
under this rule numerous ballots may
have to be taken before six of the
candidates receive each a majority of
the votes cast, which is required for
election.
