Griffenhagen Plan
Is Opposed by
brookIand Body
M. IA. Mclean Heuds
Group for 10th
Consecutive Year

The Brookland Citizens Associa-
ton last week approved and asked
the continuance Of the present COM
mission form Of government, at the
same time voicing opposition to the
proposed reorganization Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia government as
outlined in the report Of Grifen-
hagen Associates Of Chicago.
Marvin M. Mclean, president Of
the association, said any reforms
or reorganfzing in the District gov
ernment should rest In the hands
Of the Commissioners.
IF 1t Is deemed expedient to
appoint q city manager for Wash
ington by the powers that be, In the
opinion Of this association" Mr.
Mclean said, such q man should be
from the Commissioners, subject
to them and to their removal fol-
cause"
James A. Crooks addressed the
meeting on neighborhood problems
speaking more specifically on
localized condition involving cov-
enants In deed.
In the annual election Of officers
held at the meeting last week Mr.
Mclean was unanimously reelected
president for the twentieth consecu-
tive year. Other officers chosen in
clude DR.. George R. Ellis, vice pres
ident; Daniel r. Masterson, secre-
tary; Donald w. Mowbray, treas
urer; Messrs. Mclean and Ellis
were named to represent the asso-
citation at the Federation.

was made it is claimed. Now
it is proposed, through the chan
nels of the District appropriation
bill, to turn it back to the Board
of Public Welfare.
On the eve of the hearings on
the appropriation bill before the
Senate Subcommittee, Col. B. H.
Hayden, U. S. A., retired, business
manager of the Health Depart
ment proposed an entirely differ
ent plan for control of all hospi-
tails. He would take them from
the jurisdiction of the Health De-
partment but not place them
under the Welfare Board. He
proposed the creation of a sepa-
rate department of hospitals.
He regards his plan as a solu-
ton of the hospital problem and
expresses the opinion that opera
ton under the Health Depart
ment or the Welfare Board will
never give satisfaction. Particu-
lar stress is laid by this gentle
man on the need for a depart
ment headed by a business execu-
tive who would report direct to
the Commissioners.
This proposal Is still so new
that there appears to be as yet
no organization or official reac-
ton noted.

Twenty-Five Years Chairman
OF Important Civic Committee.

A quarter Of a century is a long
time for a man to retain the
craftsmanship of an important
civic committee and grow neither
stale or "old on the job" Such
an anniversary was noted by a
celebration last week by members
of the Board of Trade in honor
ing Odell s. Smith on the COM
pletion of IS years as chairman
Of the boards Committee on Pub
lie Order.
This committee has always
been one of the most active Of
the Board Of Trade. Its meetings
have been frequent and its han
ding of its assignments most
thorough. The finest spirit of CO.
operation has been always main
tanned with both the Police De-
partment and the Fire Depart
ment. The members of this COM
mittee and the officers and men
of the Police and Fire Depart
ments have become acquainted
and this has made possible many
practical results.
Chairman Smith is native of
New York but is an Oldest IN
habitant Of the District, hard
worker individually and q picker
of workers upon whom he can
unload much detail work. Public
order is a serious civic job, but
Chairman Smiths keen sense Of
humor has carried him through
the Is years smiling and a young
man yet. It is predicted that he
may 60 on for another IS years.

Progressing

With the Greater National Capt.
tai Committee drive for $4,000 well
under way, the first report meeting
will be held Tuesday at the Wash.
ington Hotel. The Campaign Com
mittee is headed by Thomas j.
Groom and has reported excellent
results to date.
A number Of new subscribers have
been turned In while increased
pledges have been made by a sub
stantial number of old subscribers,
according to Mr.. Groom.
Approximately 100 prominent busi-
ness leaders Of Washington will par
ticipate In the drive to bring more
visitors to the city this year, he In
dicated. Although the quota this
year has been set at $70,000-a 20
per cent increase over last years
goal-Mr. Groom predicted the CAM
paign would be success.
The plan for the 1899 campaign
OF the Greater National Capital
Committee, originated by Edgar
Morris, chairman, has thus far
proved to be very satisfactory, he
declared. The idea of appointing a
Special Campaign Committee was
carried through early this year and
Frederick P. H. Siddons, John Saul,
l.. E. Williams, Mr.. Groom, Curtis
Hodges and Arthur May were named
as members Of the group.
After meeting with the Budget
Committee. headed by Francis G.
Addison, jr., president of the Board
Of Trade, in which Mr.. Groom's ap-
pointment as campaign chairman
was approved, preliminary plans for
the drive were drawn up a consider
able time ahead of its formal
opening. .
In asking cooperation from in
dividuals and business houses in the
District, Mr.. Groom emphasized
that the money expended annually
IN the District by tourists is pumped
into trade channels, thus increasing
the prosperity of the local COM
munity. For this reason, he as
serted, people putting money into
the fund of the Greater National
Capital Committee are not letting
go OF it but investing it with the
expectation of profit from increased
tourist and convention trade"
Pointing out that approximately
1000 900 out-of-town persons spent
more than s60,000,0O0 in Washing-
ton last year, the campaign chair
man estimated that this year, with
the New York Worlds Fair and in-
creased publicity by the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee, we expect
even more people and money to
come here"

Many District problems con-
tinue to simmer but do not ap-
pear to be nearing the boiling
point very rapidly. The Griften-
hagen District government re-
vamping plans, revenue bill and
other important items have been
somewhat in obscurity during the
week just closed.
Hearing were begun by the.
Senate Appropriations Subcom-
mittee on Thursday under the
direction of the chairman, Sen
ator Overton. District officials
were first to be heard and then
the Representatives Of the civic
groups and individual citizens are
to have an opportunity to present
their views. Numerous changes
in the bill as passed by the House
are expected to be urged by both
officials and citizens.
One of the most pronounced
activities of civic organizations
during the week is the opposi-
ton by the groups in the South
east sections to the proposed
location of the penal wharf and
dormitories on the upper part
of the Anacostia River. The
general expectation, it is said,
was that when this District
wharf and its dormitory was
moved from the Washington
Channel, as a part Of the water
front improvement, it would be
relocated on 'the Anacostia in
the neighborhood of the indus
trial development at Buzzards
Point. These groups are now
urging a change in the plans so
that the location be to some point
west of the Navy Yard instead
of to the east as proposed.
An Armory Building out East
Capitol street instead of the
Southwest was advocated by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission at its recent
meeting. Senator Overton, after
a visit to the proposed sites, has
also announced his approval Of
the East Capitol street site. With
President Roosevelt supporting
the East Capitol location and
Chairman Ross Collins bowling in
acceptance of that decision 1t ap-
pears once more to be unani-
nous. Most of the citizen organi-
cations have stuck to the East
Capitol site all along.
The milk investigation is an
nounced to begin on Thursday
with q hearing. There Is con-
siderable interest shown by the
civic groups in this investigation.
While there has been heard ex-
pressions of a desire for reduced
prices as a result of the inquiry
there is no disposition to favor
a price change at sacrifice Of
the high standard of quality and
purity for which the District milk
supply has been famous.
The House District Committee
vacancies as this is written have
not yet been filled. There are
now on the committee 8 Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. The
Democrats are entitled to S
additional members to complete
their quota of IA. The Republican
quota Of Z is complete. Repre-

choice between the Southern and
Northern systems would not be hard
to make.
Serves Busy Area.
G. & S. Northern subsidiaries serve
an area considered by some among
the most prosperous and highly in
dustrialized in the country. 1t was
assumed in Wall Street, therefore,
that if a choice must be made, C.
e. S. will work out its future inte-
grafton plan based on Consumers
Power Co., which serves most of the
State of Michigan, including some of
its most industrially active centers,
Battle Creek, Bay City, Flint, Grand
Rapids, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lam
sing, Muskegon, Pontiac and
Saginaw.
About so per cent of c. & S.
Northern meters are located within
the State of Michigan, and 36 per
cent in an integrated system formed
by Pennsylvania Power Co., in West
ern Pennsylvania, and Ohio Edison
Co., in Eastern Ohio.
Chief Northern integration prob
lem would be to link the Michigan
and Pennsylvania-Ohio systems.
This, however, could seemingly be
done practically only by swap with
American Gas g. Electric Co., an
other E. B. & S. Co., system which
sprawls across the connecting region.
Both Seek Property.
Both C. e. S. and American Gas
reputedly have their eyes on Mid
land United Co., which serves most
of rural Indiana, geographically
strategic relic of the insult system,
which is now under jurisdiction of
the Federal District Court, Whining
ton, Del, in reorganization pro-
ceedings.
Should c. & S. obtain control of
Midland United, it would simplify
many problems. for then, not only
would American Gas possibly swap
territory to permit the Michigan
Pennsylvania Ohio integration, but
C. &5 S. would also be able to link
up geographically stray pieces now
lying around Springfield, Ohio, and
Boonville and Evansville, Ind.
Thus, of the Northern properties,
it would appear, only those serving
the Illinois areas around De Kalb,
Peoria and Springfield would have
to be yielded up by c. & S.
