o. D. Sunny, w. E. Skinner,
John F. johnson, L. F. Dudley,
Charles M. Heaton, Norman Brai-

and Wilmer c. Platt. OF this
group, Mr.. Maris served as mayor
in 1893 and 1894; Mr.. Kinnear,
1902 to 1906, and Mr.. Platt 1906
to 1912, and again 1917 to 1920.
Group Obtained School
The records Of the association
show few city comforts in Takoma
Park at the time it was organized.
It was mainly through the asso-
cations efforts that an appro-
priation Of $4,000 was obtained
for the first public school, four
room building opened in May,
1901, to which an additional four
rooms were later added at a cost
Of $4,000.
In cooperation with other Or
ganizationS an appropriation of
$4,000 was obtained for erection
of the Washington Public Library
at Fifth and Cedar Streets, also
extensively used for public gather
ingS. A few months previous to
its dedication, every resident of
Takoma Park joined in celebrat-
ing the completion of the town
water supply system.
An appeal for improved car
service resulted in officials order
ing the extension of the Ninth
Street line to Takoma, and later
to Soldiers Home grounds. Along
with these improvements the as
sociation has obtained adequate
sewers and a better gas service.
After numerous fatalities, and
leading an aroused community,
the association succeeded in hav-
ing the District Commissioners
order elimination of the Cedar
Street crossing of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, by conStruc-
ton of a subway for both vehicu-
lar and pedestrian traffic and un-
derpasseS at both Van Buren and
Chestnut Street crossings. The
latter will be dedicated shortly.
Honors Old Residents
At the last meeting of the asso-
citation it was decided to pay spe-
cial tribute to the older members
by presenting to every member
reaching the age Of 10 years hav-
ing a residence in Takoma Park
for so years a scroll of honor, and
to every resident reaching the age
Of 80 years a gold-headed cane, to
be handed down to future resi-
dents reaching that age.
