With D. C. Civic Organizations
Formation of District Suffrage League, Farley Be.
fore Chamber and Greater National Capital
-. Committee Drive Mark Busy Week.
BY JESSE C. SUTER.

TINE past week has been
most active one for organ
lied civic Washington.
i The annual campaign for
funds was inaugurated by
the Greater National Capital
Committee of Washington Board Of
Trade on Monday and the Citi-
zens' Joint Committee on National
Representation for the District of
Columbia held an important meet
ing on the same day. Wednesday
evening the Chamber of Com
merce held a well attended and
enthusiastic meeting at the May
flower Hotel. Yesterday the
Board of Trade, following its time
honored custom, held its annual
shad bake at Bay Ridge on the
Chesapeake, and last night in the
board room at the District Build
ing the Federation of Citizens As
sociations held a special meeting
in an attempt to permit its COM
mittees to clear their dockets by
the June meeting. which Is the
last regular meeting of the sea-
son. Interspersed with these
have been the meetings of several
of the neighborhood citizens
associations.
Throughout all Of these gather
ings there has prevailed an in
tense interest in and anxiety over
that annual civic mystery known
as the District appropriation bill.
If this feeling through the organ
izations was to be described in
terms of hymnology doubtless it
would be with that grand old
hymn What Shall the Harvest
Be?"

poisonous plant. According to a
member of the committee who re-
ported at the last meeting, these work
ers revealed Immediately they didn't
know poison oak or ivy when they
saw them, and after wading through
large patches, gave up the job, and
spent the remainder of the afternoon
trimming the trees of nearby resi-
dents.
As a result the association voted
again to refer the matter to the
Streets and Highways Commission,
with the request that men who know
poisonous plants be sent out to remove
the blight.
Most of the trouble, the citizens
reported, is in the neighborhood of
Thirty-second street and Alabama
avenue southeast.

New Peoples Counsel
Inducted Into Office.


Of PARTICULAR interest to or
ganized civic Washington was
the swearing into Office on Thurs
day of William A. Roberts as peo-
Piles counsel. Bill" Roberts, as he
is generally known, came into
prominence in local public util-
ity matters as a delegate to the
Federation of Citizens Associations
from the Conduit Road Citizens
Association. He was appointed on
the Public Utilities Committee, and
shortly thereafter became its vice
chairman. In this position for a
considerable period he acted as
chairman. This was during most
of the proceedings before the
Public Utilities Commission and
the District Committees incident
to the attempt of Harley P. Wilson
to bring about a merger of the
Districts transportation system.
Mr.. Roberts was elected a men,
ber of the Citizens Advisory Coun-
Gil by the federation and later was
appointed an assistant corpora
ton counsel. AS the legal advisor
to the Utilities Commission for
several years he is thoroughly
familiar with all recent proceed
ingS of the commission and in ad-
dition has fine civic organization
background and contacts.
Recently Mr. Roberts has done
valuable piece of work as a
member of the committee which
has made an exhaustive study Of
the District government for Sem
ator King, chairman of the Senate
District Committee.

section to enter The Stars
$1,000 Better Homes Contest the

has offered a cpecial prize to be

ming in other ways to endeavor to

There is every indication that
nearly all the citizens associations
in the metropolitan area are &C
tlvely planning or actually can
vaSsing their localities in the in
terest of the contest.

Odell S. Smith Perennial
Public Order Chairman.

ONE of the civic landmarks of
the District is Odell S. Smith,
who has just been appointed for
the twenty-first times as chair
man of the Committee on Public
Order of the Washington Board
of Trade. Many civic workers
were of the impression that Mr..
Smith had already reached his
majority in that position, but he
really is only just entering his
twenty-first year.
During these years Chairman
Smith has become a recognized
authority on matters OF public
order and Is highly respected and
beloved by the Police Department
and is most popular with the
members Of his committee.

Park and Planning Commission
Confirm Claims of NE. and Sc.

fafk ana flann1ng COMMISSION
Confirm Claims of NE. and S.E.
CIVIC organizations of East
~ Washington have for years
claimed they have been habitually
Disseminated against in the mat
ter of Improvements, which has in
consequence retarded develop
ment of the Northeast and the
Southeast. 1t appears that at the
recent meeting OF the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission the director of planning
substantiates these claims and calls
attention to the lopsided develop
ment of the District by reason of
such neglect. The commission has
shown so keen an interest in this
matter that its staff has been in
structed to draw up a program Of
improvements for these sections
for consideration at the next
meeting.
At the same session of the COM
mission strong approval was given
of the building of great stadium
on the banks of the Anacostla
River on the line of East Capitol
street. This project has had the
Endorsement not only Of the or
ganizations of the eastern section
but many others.

House Committee Ignores
Opposition to School Sale.

THE House District Committee
has favorably reported the bill
authorizing the sale of the old
Tenley Public School and grounds
to st. AIMS Parish, despite the
unfavorable report of the Board of
Education, District Commissioners,
Federation of Citizens Associations
and other civic bodies. Pubic
Librarian Bowerman on behalf of
the Board of Library Trustees has
made an earnest plea for the hold
ing of the property by the District.
1t is pointed out that this build
ing could be remodeled at a mod
crate cost to house the branch
library now inadequately located
in remodeled building which was
an abandoned police station house.
The Stanton Park Citizens As
sociation has taken a general stand
regarding the sale of any property
now owned by the District ''un-
less it cannot possibly be used for
school, playground or library pur-
poses" They point out the dearth
of facilities of this nature and
therefore express positive opposi-
ton to the sale of any such prop
erty which in all probability would
have to be replaced later at a
higher cost to the taxpayers.

OLSON oak and ivy are caus-

sociation no end of trouble.
i Some time ago members of
the group formally requested
that some action be taken to rid the
area of the blight, which in some
places had overgrown pedestrian thor
oughfares, killed shade trees, and Sc
verely poisoned several children who
had played in an infested area.
The Health Department was first
called on for aid, but it referred the
associations committee to the Ma
tional Park and Planning Commission,
which, in turn. suggested the Streets
and Highways Commission.
Finally the latter sent out a crew
of colored workers to dispose of the

with Cincinnati. Gabby Hartnett's
homer tied the score in the ninth

Cubs punched four hits for three

The New York Yankees likewise
failed to profit by idleness on the
part of the league-leading Detroit

figure does not include expenditures made there by the Department of Justice or by other departments where the appropriation was not specifically for Alaska In those cases the lump sums were made available with Alaska expenses to be taken care of from them, so the budget gives no clear picture of the actual expenditures.
 For the fiscal year 1884 the Congress appropriated directly for Alaska the sum of $3,092,993. The same reservation as to lump sum appropriations applies in this case also. Chief cause of the approxi- mately half million dollar decline was a decidedly smaller appropria- tion for the Alaska Railroad, small loppings off here and there ac- counting for the remainder After the 1884 appropriations had been made the Roosevelt Administration i assumed office and the President was empowered to impound 25 per cent of all appropriations for fiscal 1 year 1884 Whether the actual de- crease for Alaska will amount to 25. per cent cannot, of course, be said at this time. Assuming it will, the s3,092,993 drops to $2.319 ,7447
