Delegates Are Warned. Oliver Owen Kuhn, president of the organization, took the federation to task and warned the delegates that if it was to succeed as a body that the committees must get down to work. He told them that if the committees did not have any matters referred to them, it was within their province to institute action “which it thought was needed for the. henefit and improve- ment of the county. The committees have bheen more or less inactive, he said, except ‘for a few which have atted and have covered themselves with glory. He pointed to the latter as indicating that much good work for the county ould be done.

He a'so presented to the assoc tion for reference lo the committee on public utilities the b lls pending in the nauonal Legislature which would ablish a separate public utilities commission of the District of Columbia, and asked their study with a view to determining whether or not the public utilities in Mont- gomery County should be brought within the scope of the District body. Death to Be Probed. Charles H. Merryman of Bradley Hills called to the attention of the federation, the accident at Glen Echo when a voung man He said that in conference with the surgeons and eye witnesses, man dfd not die necessarily from the wounds he recelved, but from bleeding to” death. and added survey is to determine who the own- | nece: ry land has been acquired, andithat it was his information that the man was allowed to lay on the trestle for one hour before he was released. This, he sald, was due to the lack of equipment for raising the cars, and the lack of first aid attention. He asked that the matter he taken up with the county authorities, with a view to having a first aid station established at such amusement parks in the county. fact that the county authorities had not held an fnquest in the matter for the purpose of bringing out such details. The matter was referred to the committee on public safety for investigation and report. Care of Delectives. The lack of facilities in_the county for educating and caring for children with defective minds was called to the attention of the federation by Guy Oyster of Garrett Park, who told the federation of an Instapce of a youth in his section who, by his actions, had forced parents to take their chil- dren away from the public school which he attended. Upon Investiga- tion, he saiG, there-had been found no place where such children had been taken. There is one pluce near Baltimore, he sald, but there is a waiting list there now of 400 children, and In the county there have been 25 commitments of children and no place to send them. This matter went to the committee on schools for investi- | gation _and_action. Ih R. King of Cabin John Park asked an investigation with a view of stopping the practice of refuse col- lectors in the county taking material from the homes of residents and dump- ing it on the road side. This, he sald, was far worse and more unsightly than the sign boards, which the fed- eration has been asked to seek aboli- tion of. This matter was sent to the committee on public health. Liaison With District. Maj. R. B. Lawrence, chairman of the special committee, to effect a liaison between the Maryland and District federations, reported that he had had several conferences with Jesse Suter, president of the District of Columbia Federation who thought the idea of exchanging delegates was a good one, and much benefit would result to both communities by such co-operation. Mr. Suter he said, pro- posed that Arlington County Federa- tion should be approached with the same idea, and a meeting is to be effected between the three repre- sntatives. In connection with the indebeted- ness incurred in connection with the WASHINGTON, D. C, He also deplored the | .
