The annual report urges Anacostia River basin reclamation, harbor front dredging, and river channel work, plus land title studies and early action on Congress. It calls for civil service reform, higher rail taxes, more police and fire staff, and new public amenities, with a push for the 1910 aviation meet to be held in the National Capital.
