Petworth's First Banquet
Is . Success.

THE reputation OF the Petworth
Citizens Association for doing
things was sustained in its first
annual banquet, held in the Ma
sonic Hall in Petworth last Tues
day evening. Fine music, at
tractive decorations. excellent
menu and a representative gather
ing made proper setting for the
eloquent address by Representative
Jennings Randolph of West Vir-
ginia. Randolph dwelt upon those
finer things of life which make for
patriotic devotion to country and
service to mankind. lie lauded the
citizen association idea as de-
veloped in the District Of Colum-
bia. which welded together the
smaller communities within a
great city.
He spoke of the Districts lack
of representation in Congress and
the lack of q vote for the Presi-
dent He predicted that the time
will come when the residents of
VIC AASbl Nv Will bC "
elect representatives in the House
and also one or two Senators and
vote for the President and Vice
President of the United States. He
confessed he believes implicitly
that the District is entitled to
these privileges as a matter of
right and that he is for it.
He spoke feelingly Of the un-
favorable reception of the crime
report and urged his hearers to do
their utmost to lower the crime
record of the District.
Several former presidents and
former members were heard from
briefly at the close of the evening.
Among the special guests at the
head table was Allan Davis, prin-
cipal of the Theodore Roosevelt
High School, and considerable
amusement was injected into the
exercises by one of the speakers
relating an incident involving that
popular school official.
This speaker told briefly of the
successful fight waged by Pet
worth and the neighboring asso-
Citations against the erection of the
Gallinger Hospital group on the
site which had Deen purchased
years before for that purpose. This
site is bounded by Upshur. Four
teenth and Allison streets and
Iowa avenue. Part of this site is
now occupied by the Mcfarland
and Roosevelt. High Schools and
1t is proposed to locate the Teach
ers' College, a branch OF the public
library ard a recreation center on
other parts of the property.
The speaker said the Civic
Committee from the neighboring
associations was not the only one
active in the contest, for the East
Washington citizens were equally
busy in an attempt TO keep these
institutions out of their section
where they had been located for
many years. One Of the most bel
ligerent of the East Washington
contingent was Allan Davis, who
now presides over this fine high
school located where he tried to
build a hospital. In this way, it
was pointed out, the loser event.
ually became the winner. Davis
made an appropriate response in
dicating that he is well pleased
with the way things turned out
and well pleased with the institu-
tions at both ends of the town as
they have been developed. DR..
Lyster H. Dewey. president Of the
association presided.

The Two Associations in
TakOma Park Explained.

IRON the many recent requests
for information regarding the
Citizens Association of Takoma
D. c.. and the Takoma Park Citi-
zens' Association and the apparent
confusion in press reports OF the
activities of these groups it Is very
apparent that some clarifying
statement is in order. This brief
statement it is hoped will add to
the understanding Of these associa-
tionS.
The Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation was organized many years
ago and is composed of both Dis
trict and Maryland residents. 1t
is interested in matters on both
the Maryland and the District sides
of the community. OF its present
officers some reside in the District
and some In Maryland.
Some nine or ten years ago a
large group of the members of the
old association living in the Dis
trict withdrew from the Takoma
Park Citizens Association and
formed the Citizens Association Of
Takoma, D. c., composed exclu-
sively Of District residents and
dealing entirely with matters af-
fecting the District Since organ
ization its membership has been
largely increased. 1t was this Dis
trict of Columbia body which re-
Gently brought up in all of the
associations the question of the
gas rates, and it was also this new
association which waged the sue
cessful fight against the granting
of licenses for the sale of alcoholic
liquors in Takoma, D. c.
These two activities Of this aSSo-
citation have been mentioned be-

Civic Bodies and
The 1887 Budget.

COMMITTEES of the various civic
" groups. particularly in the
neighborhood associations, have,
as an immediate task. the listing
of projects which they would like
to see included in the budget for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1887. It is usually the custom to
take up such matters with the
heads of the respective departments
of the District government with a
view to having such items included
in the initial recommendations
from the departments to the Com
missioners.
In such work these citizens are
badly handicapped through the
delay In finally passing the 1885

Street Safety and
Traffic Control.
CEMI-ANNUAL mechanical In
~ spection of all District licensed
automobiles is to be put into effect
by the Commissioners upon the
recommendation of the Special
Traffic Advisory Committee. This
and the recently adopted regula-
tion providing for the impounding
of illegally parked cars will have
a tryout as soon as these regula-
tions can go legally into effect.
In one of the associations re-
Gently a question was raised as to
the unsatisfactory condition pro-
duced by the progressive system
of traffic light control. 1t was
decided to urge upon the Traffic
Department the substitution of the
so-called block system as used in
New York.
Numerous individual complaints
have been heard against the pro-
gressive system and favoring the
block system. 1t is contended by
the advocates of the block system
that its use would facilitate the
movement Of traf1ic and greatly
relieve congestion at street inter-
sections. 1t is also claimed to be
far less confusing than the pres
ent system and will promote safety.
II has been suggested that. as
the present system has had long
tryout, it is now time to see if an
improved condition may be pro-
duced by introducing the block
system.
One Of the most serious Of the
traffic problems awaiting solution
is to find a way for pedestrian to
cross q light-controlled intersection
with the confusing right and left
turner's moving in steady streams
and the poor pedestrian trying to
cross with the green light. This
has been freely discussed in the diff
ferent associations. by District Off
cials and letters from citizens are
being continually published in the
papers. but no one has come forth
with the answer. There is a real
need for the solution OF this
problem.

the futility of his own life in particu-
lar. Alexis Androckovitch minated
that he was failure. Even in bridge
he was failure. The nadir had been
