president Of the Chillum Heights
Citizens Association.
The associations that would be
asked to affiliate with the new coun.
Gil include groups in the area
bounded by Rock Creek Park on
the west, North Capitol street on
the east, Florida avenue on the
south and the District line on the
north.
In the wake of the Commissioners
budget hearings. all civic groups see
a full season ahead of them. More
than a score of citizens associa-
tions and a number of business
groups and other organizations were
represented at the hearings by
spokesmen who championed dozens
of projects for improvement in their
communities.
New schools, new streets, new
sewers. more relief funds, more po-
lice, more firemen and dozens of
other items that would call for a
bigger supply bill were urged by the
witnesses, but, at the same time,
there was an overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of cutting depart
mental estimates to conform with
definitely anticipated revenues.
Oppose Realty Tax Boost.
There were some civic leaders who
said they would be willing to take
on new tax burdens to get desired
projects, but all witnesses were
unanimous against any increase in
the SITS real estate tax. Two wit
nesses recommended increasing the
corporate and personal income
levies, another urged a sales tax and
still another championed an in
crease in the gasoline tax.
Some of the projects sought for
the Southeast section probably will
be among the first before the public
eye since they will be considered by
the Southeast Council this week.
These projects, all of which were re-
quested at the budget hearings, in
clude:
An appropriation of $4,000 for a
branch library site in Anacostia;
splitting the eleventh precinct by
adding a new precinct at Forty
second street and Benning road
NE: a fire truck station in the
Randle Highlands area, a new school
in the Fort Davis or Bradbury
Heights section, new playground
in Congress Heights and surface
sewers in that section.
The Manor Park association al
ready has listed as one of its princi-
pal items the securing of an appro-
priation of $4,000 to construct a
stadium and improve the grounds of
the new Calvin Coolidge High
School

older men and by the time he was
81 his interest in civic work led them
to elect him their president. He is
now finishing his third term.
Last October, the secretary of the
association resigned due to the pres
sure of private business and it was
up to Mr.. Cahill to find a new secre-
tary, some one "who was willing to
work and could follow directions"
He had known Miss Durkin for
four years, ever since she had grad
uated from st. Anthony's High
School,, from which he had also
graduated. She was not member
of the association, but, since she
filled the bill, Mr.. Cahill persuaded
her to join and accept the Office Of
secretary.
Under Mr.. Cahill's administrations,
the Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Asso-
citation has succeeded in getting an
addition to Crosby Noyes School and
an overpass over Franklin street Ne
at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks. Streets in the section have
been paved and alleys cleaned up.
Mr.. Cahill's main interest has been
public welfare. He has tried to help
procure an increase in the relief
appropriation, so that people could
pay their rent and still have some
thing left over to eat on" He has
usually delegated an older member
of the association, however. to testify
at the congressional hearings on
District appropriations.
He has been active in the move
ment for District suffrage and has
frequently spoken at meetings of
other citizens associations in behalf
of vote for Washington.
Both of u.s." said Mr.. Cahill
shortly before his marriage, want
to see better city and are willing

Of the Record Bureau of the Police
