A resolution asking representation in | Congress for the District was passed unanimously by the Northeast Wash- ington Citizens' Association, meeting last night at the Ludlow School, Sixth and G streets northeast. Evan H. Tucker, president of the group, pointed ou: the necessity of the i strict having a_voice in appointment | . of District officials and in the election of the President and Vice President He declared that it was no more than fair that Washingtonians should have the right to vote, since States with lesser population were allowed that right. ,‘Mr, Tucker expressed appreciation of the work accomplished along this line by Senators Capper and Jones, staunch supporters of District representation. A copy of the resolution will be for- warded to the judiciary committees of both houses of Congress. McLeod Bill Opposed. Following Mr. Evans’ address the as- sociation went on record as opposing the McLeod bill, which proposes that a delegate without the right to vote, and to be selected by a board of com- missioners, attend congressional ses- sions and defend the rights of the Dis- trict. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Evans for his efforts in gaining passage of legislation favorable to_the District. In view of the recent explosion at McCrory's 5 and 10 Cent Store, in which six persons were killed and many injured, the association passed a reso- lution urging more rigid regulations governing inspection of high and low pressure boilers in the District. A copy of this resolution was sent to the Com- ‘missioners. A resolution asking a larger appro- priation for the replacement of trees damaged by the elements was adopted by_the association. Beautification of Stanton Park, lo- cated in the community served by the association, was asked in another reso- GIKTS he blessing of true STAR, WASHINGTON, lution passed by the group. It was {otnud out that existing conditions in he square were deplorable and tha since Maryland avenue, which passes the park, is a main thoroughiare, tour- ists are apt to be wrongly impressed with the section. Special attention was called to the chain fence surroun the park. A copy of this resolution be sent to Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and public parks. President Tucker declared that more attention should be paid to the beautifi- cation of the northeast section of the city. He said “a park as unsightly as Stanton Square would never last any time on Sixteenth street northwest.” After 12 years of effort, the associa- tion noted ‘with pleasure inclusion in the budget of a $150,000 appropriation for the erection of a branch library in the northeast section of the city. The association also expressed appreciation | of the $38,000 appropriation included in the budget for the extension of New York avenue from Florida avenue through to Bladensburg road. The as- sociation has been fighting for the ex- tension for the last 25 years. Ambulance Horn Noise Cited. The _citizens passed a resolution ask- .ng officials at Casualty Hospital to pro- vide a less shrill siren for their ambu- lance. Several declared the noise made by the ambulance horn was un- necessary. A resolution expressing appreciation of the association to the Board of Edu- cation and District Commissioners for improvements made to grounds of the Stuart Junior High School and for the new sidewalk surrounding the grounds unanimously was adopted. A copy of this resolution will be transmitted to the board and to the Commissioners. plasaidid SPECIAL SESSION COST FUND SENT TO CAPITOL Supplemental Legislative Estimate of $910,642 Is Given to Congress by Hoover, By the Associated Press.
