Regarding the possibilities of a city council, Mrs. Snell said she had noted the genuine effects of resolutions the citizens’ associations, v the Kalorama association, of which she is now vice president “If these citizens' associations have effect upon public officials or legisia- tion to the penefit of the people,” she said, “how much larger influence will be wielded by such an advisory coun- cil of larger powers and more exten- sive representation? 1 am perfectly convinced it would have a beneficial effect on legislation for the District.” “Citizens of Nowhete.” Mrs. Alcena Lamond, nominated by the Takoma Park association, an- nounced that she was in favor of na- tional representation for the District of Columbia. “I feel,” she said, “that we are not citizens of anywhere when we have no vote. We ought to be at least equal to the States in suffrage As the citizens® ssociations have been effective in their expression of public sentiment and in obtaining re- | sults for the public, Mrs. Lamond said she thought the proposed city coun- cil would be even more effective in centralizing these activities. The city council, she thought, would greatly relieve the Commissioners of the Dis- trict, and thus make for better city government. Opposes Suffrage Plan. George R. Wales, United States Civ- il Service commissioner, by the Cathe- dral Heights Association: “I am absolutely against national representation for the District of Co- lumbia in Congress. I do not think it would be a wise thing, and I feel | that it would tend to raise taxes here. “The citizens’ council should advise the District Commissioners on all mat- STAR, WASHINGTON of the local estimates for the District, and consideration should also be given to the fiscal relations situation. Per- sonally I am in favor of the 50-50 basis of fiscal relations between Fed- eral and local governments. The coun- cil should also consider the public utilities situation with a view to a merger between the street railway companies. The buses should be left to compete. Efforts should be made toward the betterment of ditions here and support giv five-year school program. The coun- cil should do all it can toward fur- thering better sewage and better road- ways in the District.” W. I. Swanton of the Columbia Helghts Assoclation declared himself in favor of a vote for the President of the United States, for representa- tion in_Congress and for as much local self-government as possible.
