Havenner, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions of the District, Jast night told members of the Ashton Heights Citizens’ Association. Arlington County now enjoys suf- | frage, with a voice in the awmount of | raxes to be paid and .how they are to | be spent, to say nothing of the priv- | llege ‘of electing their own Federal Stlldle and county officials, Dr. Havenner said. Stressing the advantages of remai ing under their present form of gov- | ernment, Dr. Havenner declared that the reason for the formation of the citizens' assoclations in the District of Columbia was for the purpose of at- tempting to have some say in the afiairs of the District. Referring to the same question, Hugh Reid, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, said that, in his opinion, the question of retrocession is purely aca- demie. “Virginia is one of the few States in the Union that has cut down its public debt and within the past few years has almost doubled its invested capital,” he declared. State Senator Frank L. Ball called attention to the fact that students in the Arlington County public schools have free text books, something for which the District of Columbia is now | fighting. Last night’s meeting was ar- ranged by George M. Yeatman, presi- dent of the association, in an effort to impress upon residents of the county the disadvantages of retrocession. In addition to the speeches members | were entertained by Miss Mary Hale of i Arlington Hall Girls’ School, who sang, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Witter.
