HiIIcrest 10 Act
On D. {. Reorganization

The report and recommendation
of the Executive Committee on the
Griffenhagen report will be placed
before the Hillcrest Citizens Asso-
citation tomorrow night at meeting
in the East Washington Baptist
Church, Harold W. Kicker, secre-
tary, announced yesterday.
Endorsement of the Griffenhagen
program in principle will be ad-
vised in the Executive Committee
report, Mr.. Kicker said. However,
the committee will recommend a
qualified indorsement, suggesting
that the association 60 on record
in favor of the Board of Education
and the Public Library Board be-
ing retained as autonomous bodies,
he stated.
A special committee report will be
made on findings in regard to ap-
parent discrimination in levying
paving assessments on property
owners along Branch avenue Sc.
Rudolph Malth was appointed chair
man of the committee to investigate
and report to the association on
paving levies on Branch avenue
This step was taken when 1t was
learned that property owners be-
tween Alabama avenue and the
Pennsylvania avenue bridge were
not assessed for paving Branch
avenue, whereas the property east
of Alabama avenue on Branch
avenue have been notified that a
paving tax has been levied upon
them. Action will be taken on this
report tomorrow, Mr.. Kicker said.

Citizens PLANNING
Junior Auxiliary
In Forest Hills
Aid Of Young People
In Civic Affairs
Seen Of Advantage

In beginning its second decade of
civic activities, the Forest Hills
Citizens Association, which cele-
brated its 10th anniversary last
week, will organize the young people
in the community of high school
age and over into junior auxiliary
of the association, Mrs. Clarence
Wright, president, announced yes
terday.
Ronald Eicher, one of the younger
members of the association and a
student at George Washington Uni
versity, has been appointed chair
man of the committee to form the
youth organization, Mrs. Wright
said. Mr.. Eicher and John Wright,
son of the president and a Wood
row Wilson High School student,
who has been very active in solicit
ing members for the association,
plan to interview number of young
people in the neighborhood whose
names were submitted by members
Of the association, in an effort to
solicit membership.
Children's Aid Sought.
Many civic problems affect young
people, Mrs. Wright said, and there
fore much needed information can
be obtained from them which will
help in solving their problems. The
young people are also interested in
civic affairs and should be given
an active place in the association
so that they may receive valuable
training which will aid them when
they assume full responsibility, she
stated.
Mrs. Wright is going to request
the association to admit the young
people to the association so that
they may be appointed to serve on
committees which deal with prob
lens concerning the youth, such as
the Committees on Education, Traf-
fic and Safety and Fairgrounds. II
have received several letters from
young persons in the neighborhood
offering very sensible and helpful
suggestions On solving problems
facing the community" Mrs. Wright
said
Want New Building Law.
In beginning the second 10 years
of civic work as the Forest Hills
Citizens Associate the group will
start campaign to get the build
ing laws revised, Mrs. Wright stated.
The covenants in some deeds to
land in this neighborhood were
drawn up number of years ago
and therefore the limitations on the
cost of a house are very low, she
said. AS result of this, small and
inexpensive homes have been built
in this area by some real estate men,
which if continued, will destroy the
value of many expensive homes in
Forest Hills, according to Mrs.
Wright.
The District Commissioners have
been asked to investigate the mat
ter and see what steps can be taken
Immediately to prevent further
building until action by Congress
may be obtained, Mrs. Wright said.
A committee is being selected to
make a detailed tsudy of the cove
nants in the area and to attempt
to get real estate dealers and build
ers to cooperate In the campaign,
she stated.

Convention Size Grows.

A noticeable growth in the size
and money value of Washington
conventions is taking place, accord
ing to Russell Schneider, manager
of the Convention Bureau of the
Greater National Capital Commit
tee. Already there is on record for
1899 enough convention delegates
to exceed the entire year of 1888 by
1000, he said.
Among the groups who are sched-
uled to convene in the city in the
near future are the Luggage and
Leather Goods Manufacturers As
sociation, who will meet here for

Members Of Proposed Council
To Be District Residents.

There appears to be confusion
in the minds of some of the citi-
zens regarding the qualifications
of the members of the proposed
District Council. According to
the Griffenhagen plan, there
would be created District Coun-
Gil of seven members to be ap-
pointed by the President by and
with the advice and consent of
the Senate. The qualifications
of a member of the Council is
the same as prescribed by the
Organic Act of 1873 for a District
Commissioner, being one who, at
the time of his appointment, is
citizen of the United States
and a resident of the District of
Columbia for at least three years
next preceding his appointment.
during which period he shall not
have claimed residence any
where else.
An alternate provision in the
plan provides for an elective
Council, the members of which
shall possess the same qualifica-
tions as provided in the case of
the appointed Council. If the
elective Council plan should be
adopted it is provided that the
first Council would be appointed
by the President for terms of two
years each. Thereafter the mem
bers of the Council would be
elected for two-year terms by
popular vote of the qualified resi-
dents of the District. The Coun-
Gil by ordinance would provide
the qualifications of electors and
the time and manner of holding
elections.

Proposals to Amend Lunacy Law.
Are Taking Definite Shape.

The lack of space, proper IA
cilities and personnel for the care
of mental cases at Gallinger Hos
pital are in large measure re-
sponsible for the present efforts
to amend the new District lunacy
law. This law which became
effective in June, 1888, provides a
delay of 10 working days before
final commitment of the mental
patient to st. Elizabeth's Hospi-
tai, where all necessary facilities
and services are available.
This To-day delay" says DR..
Ruhland, "plus the time required
by examination, hearings before
witnesses and clerical red tape,
means that usually 30 days pass
between the time Gallinger first
sees the patient and final commit
ment to st. Elizabeth's." The TO-
day delay requirement was writ
ten into the law to prevent rail-
roading" of patients not actually
insane.
The health officer was further
quoted, in January last, as saying
1--WE feel the delay is unnecessary,
since only IA out of 500 patients
treated since the law went into
effect have asked for jury trial.
The proponents of amendment
advocate mental cases being sent
Immediately to st. Elizabeth's in
stead of Gallinger Hospital to be
held during the period Of delay
which the law requires before
final commitment.
Social workers who are familiar
with the handling of such mental
cases at Gallinger Hospital de-
scribe the lack of facilities and
personnel as resulting in treat
