Liaison Between Police
and Citizens Associations.

A SIDE from the appointment Of
the new District Commissioners,
the outstanding civic event in
Washington during the past week
was the announcement by Mai.
Brown. Washington chief of police,
Of his plan to assign precinct COM
manders and other citizens to attend
meetings of the citizens associations.
This happy thought Of our resource
full major and superintendent is in
tended to familiarize the police with
the civic problems under considera-
item and afford an opportunity for
practical cooperation. There has
been in the past more or less Co
operations, but never upon a syste-
matte basis.
The high officers Of the Police De-
partment usually have attended the
meetings Of the Board of Trade and
Chamber Of Commerce, but there
has never before been so large an
order taken on as the covering Of
the many neighborhood meetings.
There has been most favorable re-
action among the associations to
Maj. Browns innovation. The plan
was put into effect with the assign
ment of Capt. Sidney J. Marks of
No. IL to attend the meeting of
Congress Heights Association last
Monday.
Maj. Brown will confer with Presi-
dent Yaden of the Federation of
Citizens Associations with a view to
further assisting the civic groups.

Drives for Members
Now Under Way.

THE Membership Committee of
the Board of Trade is very &C
tive these days and the directors
last week elected 80 new members.
The Membership Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is stimulat-
ing its membership drive with
weekly forums. The Rhode Island
Avenue, Piney Branch and Stanton
Park associations have membership
drives in progress. The building up
of a substantial membership is most
essential to all Of our civic bodies.
If they are to be really representa-
tive and exert an influence, numbers
count heavily and when to numbers
is added thoroughness and per-
sisteace, you have an almost ire
sistible force.

grounds and play spaces are adj
jacent to each building, as well as a
large stadium for the Roosevelt. The
only thing needed TO complete this
center is the removal of the Tuber-
culosis Hospital and the erection of
the proposed neighborhood branch
of the public library. Each Of these
school buildings can be enlarged
without material curtailment of the
play and recreation spaces.
This tract, then far out In the
country, was purchased by the Dis
trict in 1900 for $4,000 as site for
a new municipal hospital to replace
the establishment for many years
located near the Jail on Reservation
Is. The tuberculosis unit was the
only one of such buildings ever
erected, The District appropriation
bill for the fiscal year 1917 con-
tanned an item for the erection of
the Gallinger Hospital on the tract.
This did not meet with the approval
of the citizens who had established
themselves in homes which then
thickly surrounded the site. The
Commissioners and congressional
committees were deaf to the plead
ings of these citizens, represented by
a joint committee, under the leader
ship of the Piney Branch Citizens
Association, and including delegates
tom Brightwood, Brightwood Park,
Columbia Heights, Park View and
Petworth associations.
In the face of great odds and
many discouragements this joint
committee fought on until the SEN
ate reversed the action of its own
committee on appropriations and
decreed that no more hospital build
ings be erected on that site. The
Senate amendment was agreed to in
conference, with the final result that
the Gallinger Hospital was erected
on Reservation Is, which had been
the location OF the municipal hosr
pital through a period of 10 years.
This is how we came to have so fine
and well located a site for this at
tractive educational center.
