man, author, lover of Washington, 1t
has pleased inscrutable Providence to
take from us while at the height OF
his powers and while engaged in con-
structive efforts for the advancement

and planned for the advancement OF
the best interests of the city. giving
without stint of his energies and Of his
time to put into practical effect those
betterments agreed upon by all civic
leaders as both feasible and necessary.
SIN view of this splendid record Of
unselfish service. which stands as an
inspiration to District citizens and to
the members of the Washington Cham

of directors. in tribute to him and in

resolve:
THAT in the untimely death of Ivan

lost citizen and leader of vision,
ability and broad human feeling, who
has set high standard of accomplish
ment and has earned the right to rank
with those who have rendered outstand-
ing service to the National Capital"
