DISCUSSED CAPITOL HILL NEEDS ee te Addresses by Two of the District Commissioners. es PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL ——— Twenty-seven years ago a small number of citizens of East Washington, having in view the betterment of their section, band- ed themselves together under the name of the East Washington Citizens’ Association. It was the first citizens’ association to be organized in the city. At the Masonic Hall in East Washington last evening the twen- ty-seventh anniversary was celebrated by @ public meeting, at which several Import- ant topics were discussed, notably the reclamation of the Anacostia flats and the opening of the Congressional Library of evenings. The hall was tastefully decorated, and before the hour for opening arrived it was well filled. divine blessing. President Babson deliver- ed an address, in which he said: “We are proud of the steadfastness and fidelity with which the projectors of this association and their successors have ad- Rev. Dr. Parson invoked the | hered to the broadened principles upon which our organization rests, and contin- ued its existence for more than a quarter of a century. #Assembled together for a specific purpose at its first meeting, in 1870, the wants of the community developed by an interchange o% opinions, and the wisdom oY united ac- tion, led to the determination to hold suc- ceeding meetings. These for some time were called as occasions arose, but the necessity of perpetuating the association soon became apparent, and a constitution was adopted, which somewhat broadened as the growing wants of this section of the city and the increase in its Dopulation demanded, and which, but slightly. modi- fied, is the constitution of today. “Any reputable citizen or taxpayer of East Washington may become a member of this association upon payment of ad- mission fee and subscribing to this consti- tution. “We seek now your aid, morally, actively and financially to the extent of a member- ship fee, in the furtherance of two great purposes which we are endeavoring to ac- complish, both of which, not only as cit- izens of Capitol Hill, but as residents of any part of the District, you should act- ively and energetically support: “First.

One thousand acres of malaria- breeding flats lie upon our borders, through which the once beautiful but now shrunk- en Anacostia river struggles along, alter- nately advancing and narrowing, or reced- ing and broadening, as moved by the feeble tide. When exposed, the vegetation and deposits create and diffuse a malarial at- mosphere, which, with the provocation of a slight easterly wind, rolls over the entire city, carrying its’ poisonous germs to every household. Scientific investigations and medical reports prove this. An hour’s read- ing of these reports within your reach will startle you with the facts set forth. You need not even do this to become alarmed. Upon the coming of our hot weather watch the pallid faces and attenuated fig- ures of the invalids, just waiting to fly from the city, and to you, mothers and fathers, count for one day the number of little death-stricken faces wheeled past your door, seeking some shaded place to woo for an hour the semblance of recover- ing health. Albert G. Drane of the committee on street railroads read a report of what the railroads had done during the year. Chairman T. W. Smith of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys made an in- teresting report, in which he said: Progress of Paving. “Confining myself to the subject my com- mittee has charge of, I find that in 1871 there were in existence but very few paved streets east of North and South Cap- itol streets, and these consisted of the single street surrounding the Capitol, Penn- sylvania»avenue to 8th street, and sth street southeast to the navy yard. We find that during the years 1871, '72 and ’73, being that part of the life of the board of public works in which the most of the improvements were made, as a glance at the map will show, that portion of the city west of New Jersey avenue and north of Ohio and Virginia avenues was so well taken care of by the board of public works that it gave the finishing touch to that part of the city now known as the north- west. Street improvements increased val- ues to such an extent that it has been en- abled to keep in the lead ever since, and no other portion of the city will ever be able to catch up with it. “The very large amount of street im- provements made in that now beautiful part of our District gave through in- a assessment such a great prepon- derance in values that, under the present system of dividing the appropriation for improvements amorg the several sections of the city, the northwest section obtains nearly three-quarters of the whole appro- priation for improvements, which will with- in a few years finish with the most modern curbing and pavements all of the unim- Proved streets in the northwest section of the city. Until that portion of the city has. been completed, so far as street and foot pavements are concerned, our section of the city will have to wait for an in- creased proportion.” Other Reports Submitted. Chairman Fowler of the committee on water, lights and sewers detailed the work accomplished by his committee. Owing to the enforced absence of Chair- man Weller, the report of the committee on assessments and apportionment of ap- Propriations was passed. ae The report of the committee on public Parks and spaces was made by Chairman W. A. Croffutt, who also detailed the work accomplished by the committee during the year. There was one matter considered of great interest. It concerned the trees of the city. The trees had reached the extent of their growth, in many places, and need- ed more space and moisture. The commit- tee was in favor of cutting out all the superfluous sidewalk between the trees and park the spaces. would give much- needed moisture and space. Col. Bingham, the engineer officer in ed of parks, was in sympathy with the committee, and under the new appro- priation promised considerable aid. The School System. Dr. Patton of the committee ‘on schools read his report, in which he said: “The most pressing need of the schools of East Washington at present is that of additional school houses to accommodate the increased enrollment of pupils now forced to attend half-day schools for want of room. We are able to report that cne eight-room building is now in course of 5th and I st after the erection 4 there has risen sad another noble institution dedicated the dissemination éf knowledge—the mag- soon, we hope, ning of this th this associa: report ence eee open “ movement tl Wbrary at night origianeeh tion, and has been gteadiy attention of Congress.

It contemplates the adop- tion of the only satisfactory plan and ef- fective relief for our deserving destitute. “First. It brings an authorized agent in personal contact with every needy per- son in our city. “Second. It is the only plan that will separate the worthy from those who seek to impése upon charitably disposed people, who would freely give to the relief of the poor if satisfied that their charity was not abused by giving to unworthy. : “Third. Our plan provides for the per- manent betterment of the conditions and surroundings of all who are worthy and are not provided for by any other organi- zation now providing for such persons. “Fourth. It would not cost the public one dollar by taxation. Police Problem. “While the police as a rule are eas effi- cfent and well disciplined as any in the world, yet there is no city in the world of the number of inhabitants and extent of territory that has not more policemen than Washington, the nation’s capital. “If each policeman would have to tra- verse over all the territory assigned to his beat, every time he goes on duty, as the rules and police regulations require him to do, in East Washington he would have to traverse sixty miles every twenty-four hours. This is simply an impossibility. What we need, especially in East Wash- ington, is an increase in the number of men and a decreage in the number.of hours of duty for police officers. Menace to Health. “The greatest menace to public health is the immoral, disease-breeding, filthy al- ley residences. More than 5@ per cent of all sickness and death can be traced, either directly or indirectly, to the insanitary conditions of our alleys. Houses without water clesets or baths and out. houses reeking with filth are the curse of our oe: Garbage Syntem,.Criticised. “Your committee tealled the public’s at- tention more than oficé to the fact that the’ ‘Commissioners selected and “ddpttd sys-" tems of cremation of thegarbage, especial- Jy that known as the Sniith’s, which would ‘not be tolerated in alty cfvilized community. One'yetr ago your tommittee reported that this system would be condemned before it was in operation sixty days, and that all the contractor wanted vas an excuse to transport the garbage déwn the river, as they call it, when‘in fact it is dumped, because it is money!in the pockets of the contractors.

Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords gave a ‘detailed ac- count of the fight of the association for the reclamation of the Anacostia flats, The present status of the case was. the.consid- eration by Congress of a joint. resolution introduc ‘by Séiator McMilah, ‘calling upon the Secretary of War-to’ ‘make an’ estimate for the improvement of the Ane. tostia river, and tte peciareatcn ale Fae. thought. the outlaok, for, fay BRS aglow woe Gicoureatngs , President Sertapgess se it Catia ese to call ypon the next speaker. He was a_ maf who Was beloved by aif” He had the District faithfully for two terms, and had‘ been called for a third term. It was the first time the association had indorsed a ‘candidate. He was the choice of East Washington—Commissioner Ross. f Commissioner Ross’ Remarks. Mr. Ross said he was a Capitol Hiller and he was glad of it. He had lived in this section for four years, and all of his property was here. As a Commissioner he was bound to look after the interests of the entire District, yet he would see to it, in the administration of his duties, that the eastern section shall not be neglected. He was glad to see the association had reached such a respectable age as twenty- seven years. He was more than gratified at the business that had been transacted. The time and consideration the business men of the association had given to the current topics of the day was healthful, and of the greatest benefit to the Cominis- sioners. Their views were always consid- ered vhen public tmprovements were under consideration, and welcomed as aids to them. At a recent meeting of the board of Commissioners the heads of the several departments were invited to send in es- timates of improvements necessary. When the Commissioners took them up for con- sideration, it was found necessary, in or- der to meet. the revenues, to reduce them $800,000, and last year $1,000,000 was cut off of what the Commissioners deemed necessary. He urged the association to keep up its good work and keep the national capital the. foremost: of the capital cities of the world. Capt. Black Imtroduced. President Babson, in introducing Engi- reer Commissioner ‘Black, said that un- der the law for the management of thirty-sixth move, it was readily seen that his chances for a win were slight, and that he would have to play carefully to secure a draw. It even looked for a time 4s though he would lose. Had he played 36, KxBP, to be followed by B—B7, he would undoubtedly have won. He could have stopped the advance of the rock’s pawn, and had time to queen one of his own pawns.

The Englishman offered a draw at 3:30, which was accepted. Mr. Plowman’s Unfortunate Defeat. In the meantime affairs were becoming very interesting at board No. 4, where Mr. Plowman was showing great skill and was outplaying his adversary. He had the game won under the rules on the fortieth move by virtue of the British having ex- ceded the time limit. It was but three seconds, to be sure,but was enough to have decided the game.

The splendid bicycle weather has caused an immense demand for ladies’ bicycle shoes and leggins. ‘ lishman seemed hopeless. It was only by the most glaring mistakes that Mr. Plow- man could lose, and just when he was ready to crush his adversary he fell down. Had he queened his pawn on the forty- third move, Mr. Jones’ queen must have fallen for a rook, with prospect of other advantage in a few moves. He still had a won game had he declined to take the rook on his forty-fourth move and gone to the corner. Mr. Plowman resigned at 4:15 p.m. The representative from Alabama was laboring urder great excitement, and was very nervous. His table was surrounded by a number of his friends, end while wait- ing for moves from Mr. Jones they casually dropped remarks of one kind or another to him. As was necessarily the case, he was somewhat disconcerted. It was fre- quently necessary for Representative Shannon, the captain of the team, to cau- tion the spectators agairet talking with the players. If another match is held, ar- rangements should be made for keeping spectators at least three feet distant from the players. 72 by 90-inch hemmed unbleached “Me hawk”? cotton shcets—to go for 29 cents each. 30-inch heavy twill blue striped ticking— to go for 8¥4 cents yard.

It was about this time that a message was received, stating that Mr. A. J, Bal- four, leader in the house of commons, was witnessing the match, board No. 2, and was very much interested in the contest. The reply that went back caused much merriment. It was as follows: “Mr. Shaf- roth of Colorado is an ardent bimetallist, and is naturally inspired to even greater exertions, learning that the distinguished leader of the house is present.” : While waiting for another move from London, Mr. Shafroth again calculated the Tnoves before each side would obtain a }queen by the course he had adopted, and a shake of the head showed that he real- ized his mistake. His subsequent play was:of the best, and when at 6:30 the Eng- lishman resigned and the day had been saved there was great applause. Yesterday’s Play.
