The first gathering of citi- zens of this community was held November 1, and a week later the oflicers were named. It is planned to affiliate with the Federation of Citizens' Associations, and to meet regularly the first Tuesday in each month.

Robert Cox, chairman of the committee on education and schools, reporting on the condition of the old Tenley School, said that a recommendation will be made to the Board of Education that the building be razed rather than to recommend needed repairs. A request will be made also for the erection of the 16-room addition to the Janney School, which is less than a year o, and, it was said, is already over- crowded, many of the classes being on part time. Ash Removal Discussed. District officials will be urged to arrange a satisfactory schedule for the removal of ashes in Devonshire Downs. It is desired that a collection be made at least once a week. cials at the District Building were zed for the lack of courtesy in answering queries on the question of ash removal. The secretary was in- structed to communicate with the Commissioners in an effort to have a number of trees planted on built-up streets. Mrs. M. Z. Baughman, chairman of the committee on streets and parks, was directed to take steps toward having the circle on Wisconsin ave- nue at Nebraska avenue beautified with trees and shrubbery.
