BOUNDARY CHANGE
West End Group Aroused
Over Area Credited to
Them in Campaign.

With a possible territorial fight
looming on the horizon, the West
End Citizens Association last night,
at meeting in Corcoran Hall Of
George Washington University,
reached a decision to maintain "
street as its northern boundry line
and to see that the DUPONT Circle
Citizens Association does not en-
croach upon the area taken in by the
West End body.
This was decided upon without
formal resolution when 1t was pointed
out that there existed a possibility of
the association losing territory it has
tenderly watched over and sought inn
provements to for nearly 20 years,
namely, the section between l. and n
streets bounded by Rock Creek and
18th street.
The discussion arose after it was
charged by G. w. Avres that the
citizens membership drive committee
had compiled a map defining l. street
ns the northern boundry line of the
association. Also after a declaration
ny l.. w. Linkins that n street was
decided upon as the boundry line
Jointly by the two associations five
vears ago, at the same time adding:
IF they are going to keep crowding
us we will be in the Potomac River"
He said that the original boundry
line of the West End Citizens ASso-
citation was s street.
After it was pointed out that
Rauscher's, the meeting place OF the
DUPONT association, is south Of N
street. Frank Van SAINT, president of,

members of the former association
could meet where they please, but
that their territory must not en-
croach upon that of the West End
Citizens.
