the nrSt ballot, Is were necessary to
elect.
DR.. Richardson, Lodge and stengle
are tncumbentS. Stull and Roberts we're
former members of the council. The
council was organized in 1928 and since
that time there has been woman can
didate at every election, but Miss Tag
CART was the first to win q seat. Out
side of her candidacy, the election
interest had conferred around that Of
william A. Roberts, who lost his seat on
the council last year after hard fight.
Bitter Fight Recalled.
Roberts had a bitter fight with the
ruling faction of the federation two
years ago which cost him his council
seat and his post as vice chairman of
the federation's public utilities commit
tee. This Ratchet has been buried, how
ever, and he is back on the committee
and on the council. One Of the real
surprises of the election was the ire
mendous strength shown by DR.. Rich
ardson, who surpassed the vote Tor
Stengle, who had been picked as the
leader in the voting.
The new council has majority Of its
members from the Eastern section. The
elections last night seated two Eastern
ers, DR.. Richardson and Mr.. Stull. The
chairman of the council, DR.. George G.
Havenner, Is from Anacostia and the
two colored members from the East
Side. This gives the East five votes to
the Vests four.
A note of comedy was struck after
the election when Allen Davis, principal
Of Business High School and delegate
from the Southeast Citizens ASSocia-
ton solemnly produced large string
Of pearls and announced that, antict-
pating Miss Taggarts election, 1t had
been bought for her by the federation
most celebrated bachelor, William NICK.
Clayton. He called on Mr.. Clayton to
make the presentation. This Mr.. Clay
ton did with great gallantry.
The meeting started off with a mo-
ton by Clayton to allow delegates to
write the names Of additional candi-
dates Gu their ballots. This was voted
down without a record vote. DR..
HavenrEr then appointed the following
telleTS: Guilford S. Jameson, DR.. A. A.
Chenay, Capt. G. L. Shorey, Mrs. Henry
S. Parsons and G. Howard Huntington,
and the balloting began. While the vote
was being counted, DR.. Havenner an
nounced that the Oldest Inhabitants
Association, admitted to membership at
the last meeting, had sent In the names
of Theodore w. Noyes and James r.
Duhamel as its delegates to the fedora
ton. Mr.. Stengle delivered q short ad-
dress of welcome to them.
Committee Is Urged.
Joseph L. Gammell. reporting for the
police and fire protection committee
urged that a committee be appointed
to join hands with the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, the Board
of Trade, and the Chamber of Com
merce in seeking to restore to the Dis
trict appropriation bill an item for rent
for the present House Of Detention
struck out by the House Mr.. Clayton
bitterly opposed it. He pointed out that
it came from the Kalorama Citizens
Association, and that the head of the
House of Detention, Lieut.. Nina c. Van
Wrinkle, was delegate from that associa-
ton to the federation. He said that
the federation had not had any OPP
portunity to look into the facts behind
the action Of the House, and that II
would not be proper to tell one house
that another had been wrong without
q careful investigation. The commit
tee won a majority vote, however. and
Mr.. CANNED and z. S. Hege of Chevy
Chase were named on the committee
After the election A. M. Proctor, OF
the Oldest Inhabitants Association, ad-
dressed the federation on two sites he
proposed for the municipal airport

adjo1ns the District Jail and the other
is farther upstream. The matter was
referred to the special airport COM
mittee, of which Mr.. .Stengle is chair
man.

federation, was named delegate to a
committee being formed in an effort
to keep contracts for designing and
constructing buildings in Washington
