Many Southwest improvements
Won by Organized Citizenry

In the spring Of 1895. the
young president Of the Southwest
Citizens Association was con-
fined to Emergency Hospital, re-
covering from injuries suffered
three weeks earlier in an auto
mobile accident.
The young man, j. M. Schaf-
fer, an Agriculture Department
scientist. heard that his groups
most important project was in
danger of being left of the list
Of appropriations to go before
a Senate District subcommittee.
Rather than allow the project
to die, Mr.. Schaffer acted in
the tradition in which another
group of Southwest citizens had
acted some 40 years before and
organized q campaign from his
hospital bed to get the school on
the list.
His campaign didn't succeed
that year, but five years later 1t
bore fruit with the building Of
the Jefferson Junior High School
and the Jefferson Recreation
Center.
Lost Voice In Government.
Forty-two years before, a
group of Southwest citizens,
aroused by their lack of voice
in their own government, met
in an Office in the 800 block of
Seventh street S.W. and formed
what is now the Southwest Citi-
zens' Association. The group lis
believed to be the first citizens
association founded in the city.
The District had lost its suf-
frage five years earlier, partly
because Of the free spending
policies Of Alexander r.
Shepherd. last governor Of the
District.
The first matters to be taken
up by the group were street i'm
provements, lighting and water
and Objectionable grade cross
ings.
Represented by some Of the
foremost citizens of that day.
they were successful in putting
through many improvements. In
fact, they were so successful for
a time that they ran out Of prof.
ects. Interest in the group fell
to such a low level that meet
ings were suspended.
Interest Revived.
However, in 1912 interest was
revived. Throughout the years.
the group has energetically pur-
sued its community detectives.
Today the association meets In
the Jefferson Memorial Library
which it was instrumental In
obtaining for the area.
