Wood Thrush Urged As Official Bird
OF District; Commissioners Silent

Commissioner Taliaferro thought
that the designation should be given
to the American eagle, but the club
objected on the ground that the eagle
already is the representative bird of
the Ntaion, and. moreover, is not
native of the District.
After more deliberate consideration,
however, the Commissioners took the
position that they had no authority to
designate any bird as the official rep
resentative of the District, but would
have no objection to the selection of
the wood thrush if such selection is in
accord with the wishes of representa-
tive individuals and OrganiZa tons.
