New Citizen Unit
Opposes Plan
To Replace Rutland
Arkansas Avenue
Association to Seek
Federation Membership

Opposition to any move to dis
miss DR.. George c. Ruhland from
the post of District health officer
was voiced last night by the
Arkansas Avenue Community Citi-
zens' Association as members de-
manded that definite proof of in
competency be produced as the
"only justification for DR.. Ruhland's
custer"
G. H. Dexter, secretary of the as
sociation, praised the wonderful
strides" the official has made in
local hospital improvements and his
campaign to lower the death rate in
the District.
Mr.. Dexter saw in the move to
replace DR.. Rutland through a re-
organization plan, a further Feder-
alizing of local government. "This
cannot be permitted by the citi-
zenry of Washington for the reason
that it will place us further away
from achieving our own voice in
local government" Mr.. Dexter
added.
To Seek Federation Membership.
The association decided to apply
for membership in the Federation
of Citizens Associations. Formed
four months ago, the group now has
an established membership of 1876,
including 81 members admitted last
night.
The Sewage Committee reported
that its first major project, that of
obtaining construction of the Piney
Branch sewer, is now assured with
construction operations already
started. The organization was
formed originally to demand this
sewer to prevent periodic flooding
Of the community during heavy
rains.
Favor New Teachers College.
A committee was authorized to
cppear before congressional hear
ags TO ask for construction of a
lew Wilson Teachers College to be
ocated on the site of the former
tuberculosis Hospital, near Four
teenth and Upshur streets NV.
The Arkansas State Society will be
contacted with a view to name q
public park situated at Thirteenth
street and Arkansas avenue NV.
1t was announced that the George
Washington University debating
team will appear at the February
meeting and that plans are under
way for st. Patricks Day dinner.
