Plymale, who presided. Mr. Plymale announced that he had ap- inted a committee, consisting of “¥rank G. Campbell, Charles F. Kin- cheloe, Aruthur Orr and himself, to ' - “confer with like committees of Mont- gomery County and the District of Columbia federations in formulating the plan of co-operation. He said that one meeting had already been held at - which much progress was made and that a_definite plan probably would be evolved by the time of the next meeting of the local federation. Good Results Seen. Mr. Kincheloe visualized much good coming from these proposed inter- federation conferences. He sajd that the three organizations meeting to- gether will have any number of proj- ects of mutual benefit to work out that will not be, touched. by the officiak| reglonal development commissions of the three sections. Inthis connection a resolution call- Ing on Representative R. Walton Moore to continue his efforts, in con- junction with Representative Fred N. Zihlman, to promote the interests, the general welfare and the civic better- ‘ment of the District of Columbia and | 'its citizens was unanimously adopted by the meeting. | The resolution, which was oftered by Mr. Campbell, cites' that “the people of the District of Columbia, though of a high order of titizens, environs, was eX-j .y Qf especial in Corinthian class, the ridars in hunting costume, and the Free-fior-all~ Handi- cap, which brought out tthe very best of the entries in hunters and jumpers. d’rhemday was unmarred by any accl- American, . owner, W.

District of Columbia and the Fed- eration of Citizens’ Associations of the District of’ Colunmbia. Believing that Gov. Byrd did mot know the federation's interest in the plan for regional development when he appointed three Arlington County citizens to represent the State before the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and desiring Yecognition in the movement, which it inaugurated, the meeting took-stéps looking to representation on the. sommission, Increase to 14 Sought. A resolution offered by J. Cloyd Byers requests Gov. Byrd to increase the commission to 14 members, to equal the membership of the com- mission appointed in Maryland. The resolution suggests that eight be ap- pointed from Arlington County, three from Alexandria city and three from Fairfax County. A motlon by C. R.. Taylor author 1zes the president of the federation to appoint five members of the federa- tion, including himself, who shall be recommended to the governor for ap- pointment as additional members of the commission. Those already mamed by the governor are State Senator Frank L. Ball, Commissioner of Revenue Harry K. Green and ‘Willlam L. Bragg, chairman of the eounty Democratic committee. The action was taken following announcement by President Plymale that the federation, though it initi- ated the regional planning- develop- ment movement and the act which authorized creation of the Virginia commission was a “creature of the organization,” it had been entirely overlooked in the formation of the commission, He said that he was not critical of the governor’s action, because hé believed that he did not fully understand the situation. He said he had the highest regard for the men selected for the commission, but. that it was the federation’s idea that the commission should be free of political leanings and that all three selected held -political offices. He called attention to. the fact that the federation is a non-partisan or- ganization and stated that he had hoped, the commission would be more or less a representative citizens’ body. Mr. Green told the meeting that neither he nor Mr, Ball sought the position and that they did not know anything about it until they recelved thelr commissions from the governor. He said that he felt confident the ‘othér members appointed by.the gov- ernor would be glad to see the com- mission enlarged and would indorse recorimendations for new members made by the federation. Progress on Water Supply. Plans for establishment of the modern water supply in Arlington . % County, full authority for. which was provided when Congress authorized connection of the county with the United States Government reservoir at Dalecarla and when the people recently voted the floating of bonds for the installation of the mains, are progressing satisfactorily, acéording to a report made by (Harry C. Saffell, chairman of the Citizens' Water Com- mission, which initiated the movement. ““There is nothing to- prevent con- ¢ tinued progress,” Mr. Saffell stated. “The promises of the County Water Board will be fulfilled and we will have water in mains in Arlington County by this time next year.” 3 J. H. Milstead stated that practi- cally every railroad crossing from Great Falls to Rosslyn was in bad condition and urged that the federa- tion take the necessary action.to bring about a remedy.
