Davis called the meeting to one: and read the notice tndicating the purposes of the meeting. He nominated G-orge W Riggs, esq , for president i he was anani mously elected. r. John A. Baker was chosen secretary and Mr. RC. Fox as trea surer. Messrs. Richant T. Merrick, Jos. Casey, John T. Given, Lewis J. Davis, Crosby 8 Noyes, D. K. Cartterand Jonn T. Mitchei were chosen vice presijents. The chair statea briefly the purposes of the meeting, the most important objsct betng the united endeavor of the citizens to secure @ settlement of the question of equitable | proportional amounta to be borne by the Pisiriet of Columbia ,and the general gov ernment for District “expenditares. This question Is paramount to all others, and Merits acommon and naited support from our citizens. In his judgment the best plan was to confine their action to this one pur- the definite apportionment of the rela. lve share of District expenses between the government and the people of the District, and ip this connection, to give @ full exhibit of our financial situation, he called upon Mr. L. J. Davis, @ member of the sinking fund commission,to make sueh explana- Uons a8 Was necessary to this end. Mr. Davis then presented the following dala. showing the financial situation of the District Debt of the old corporation of Washington ++ $2,875,350 00 The debt of the oid corporation of GeorgetowD......-.-.2+.. anaes The debt of the District of Co- LUMDIA.....--.ceceeceees-veneees 521,85) 00 This was increasea under a representative form of government for the District. The additiopal debt. created by agents of the government, is a8 follows: Debt represented by 5-05 bonds, guaranteed by the United States............ : Floating de! 1,044,000 0 The following Was presented as the esti mated present annual regairemeats of the District; $1,022 40" Police departm Fire department .

Total... coc eneecece sees + 3,000,000 Mr. Davis explained that the taxpaying ca- pacity of the District, as based upon the present assessed valuation of property yields $1,500,000 revenues, which is Just about one- half of what is needed to meet current ex- penses. Mr. John T. Given said the occasion re- minded him of the preliminary steps of the mustering in of forces for campaiga pur- poses, and it occurred to him that it would Lot be inappropriate, in honor to their worthy chairman, to designate this organi- zation as the “Rigg’s Legion.” {Appl jause.) Such apathy as has been manifested by the people Of this District the past few years, iu view of their financial condition, was to him surprising. The exhibit just read, of our in- debtedness, ought to arouse them to a sense of their danger, and he believed it would. As he understood it the primary object of this orgenization is to uphold and sirengthen the bands of our District Commissioners in the management of our = affairs, and he would say, chief and brightest of tiese off cials is the Hon. Thomas B. Bryan, (ap- plause,)a gevtleman who merits anil pos- sesses the confidence of our citizens. To ef- fect their common object they must be a unit. This above all thiugs else is necessary, and they must know uo sectional nor parii- zan prejudices in this labor. Tae interosis of orgetowa are ideatical with Washington, and the same may be said of the evauty out: side. [Applause.) Their work then Is to map out what is tobe done, and make it« accomplishment a common cause. They all know the importance of systematic organi- zation and unity afierwards, Let them cult ivate a little of the missionary spirit, and all mprove every occasion to impress upon Congress the Importance of do ng simple juttice to a peopie impoverished by a stupendous debt imposed by agents of the general government. It was noi his purpose nor bisdisposition to crilicise the acts of in- dividuals in the past; the present was enough for them to meet. The eyes of the comma- nity are upon them, and every momber of these committees is expected to do bis duty. Love of country aud home is natural. As for himself be loved the place of his birth where he bad speu: the best days of his life, and expected to end his career. Toe taxable property of the citizeas of this District, and that owned by the general goverament are nearly equal, and the duty of this committee to be appounced by the Chair is to impress upon every member of Congress the equity 01 @ division of the costs of ravning the capi- tal =~ of the country, and making it iy =§ ne the padonal metropolis.
