"Mr. Goemans is the man for our president," was the cry, and so it remained. Much credit is given to this organization for the active part that it has taken in civic matters. Numerous streets have been paved through its efforts. It has worked hard for the Cypress avenue sewer and was Instrumental at the very start In the building of a modern school to replace an old wooden structure.

It Is also in the fight with all the other bodies opposing the widening of Myrtle avenue. The matter of getting better transit service on Cypress avenue was also brought about by the Evergreen Board of Trade, and so It was with almost every improvement In the Evergreen section.

Immediately after they were organized, an attorney was consulted and engaged to work on the matter of having the assessment reduced so that an equal share would fall on all of the property owners benefited by the Improvement. After considerable work on the part of the lawyer and members of the association, It was finally concluded that nothing could be done untill the next meeting of the Legislature, when, it Is helleved, that Senator Harts will introduce a bill to have the assessment reduced. Otto Koerner Is the president of this organization and Harry Boldte the secretary. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, May 25 Opponents of parcels post legislation are now planning to defeat it by offering as a substitute the parcels express bill.

Representative Goeke of Ohio is the author of the latter bill. An effort Is to be made In the Senate to incorporate in the Post Office appropriation bill the Bourne parcels post bill, which is almost Identical with the zone-system parcels post bill drafted by Representative Anderson of Minnesota. Well Informed Senators Bay that the Senate will adopt the Bourne bill as an amendment to the Post Office Appropriation bill. It will then go into conference. The plan is to have the express parcels bill offered in conference as a substitute for the Bourne plan.

"Ridgewood." To a great many people the mere mention of the name Ridgewood brings before their eyes the vision of a large tretch of farm land with a few houses scattered here and there. These were the conditions that existed a few years ago, but a visit to this place today will reveal a model city in itself, with beautiful homes, schools, churches, up-to-date stores, and, In fact, everything that their neighboring friends in the great city can boast of. These improved conditions have been trought about to a great extent by the civic organizations that are ever on the alert and ready to take part In any kind of a movement that will help the sections In which they operate. In Ridgewood there are a number of these organizations and each one of boards In the upper Brooklyn section. He was chosen on this occasion as the temporary chairman and George Jaeckle was made secretary.

Over one hundred and fifty business men were present at thlB meeting and it was instantly recognized that a good thing was being done for the community. At that time the Ridgewood section was a wilderness, and lamp posts or any kind of street lighting were unknown. Immediately things began to change, committees were appointed and ordered to see the city officials and demand recognition. The chairman, Mr. Miller, with the aid of the late J.

Edward Swanstrom, who was then Borough President, took a hand in the matter and, after that clean and well-ordered streets gradually took the place of the old thoroughfares.

Under the Goeke plan the express companies could at least dispose of all their business to the Government, together with their contracts with the railroads, and thereby realize a profit upon their Investment. The Goeko bill, drawn by Mr. Goeke with the assistance of Representative Lewis of Maryland, is based upon the theory that the parcel post function discharged by the express companies In the United States Is a function almost uniformly discharged elsowhere by postal departments. If, therefore, the Government should take over the express companies and operate them through the Post Office Department, It would perform a function normal to governments. They declare that this governmental duty has been usurped by private enterprise In the United States.

According to this argument, the Goeke bill would be considered not so much radical as restorative. Furthermore, Mr. Goeke claims that all the vexed questions of parcels post which presB upon Congress and the country arise because the express company method has failed to properly discharge this function. The adherents of the parcels express proposition urge that the expresB companies have not rendered a 75r. nneh affiliated with another civic body, and Main Floor.

Accordingly, It Is the purpose ot advocates of the Goeke bill to have the Government condemn the equipment and express-railway contracts used In the actual conduct of the express business, to have the Postmaster General take charge of this property, and run it as a part if the regular postoffice service. It will be remembered that President Taft, at the time Postmaster General Hitchcock made the recommendation, declared that It was not favored by the Executive and must be understood as expressing only the Ideas of Mr. Hitchcock. As might be expected.

It le strenuously maintained by opponents that the Gov-ernment would lose money under the action of this bill. Mr. Goeke bellcve3, however, that the assumption of the express-railway contracts alone would net Uncle Sam millions of dollars. For Instance, It 13 pointed out that In 9n the postal matter for which the i ail-roads were paid $49,404,763 was carried at the rate of 13.2 cents per mile. In the following year the express companies paid the railroads at the rate of 7 cents a ton-mile.

Besides this egregious waste in transportation accounting it is manifest.
