  HONORING 100 YEARS OF THE WOODLAWN HEIGHTS TAXPAYERS AND COMMUNITY 
                              ASSOCIATION

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, 100 years ago, the residents of the North 
Bronx established a civic organization called the Woodlawn Heights 
Taxpayers and Community Association. Their motto was ``To Make This a 
Better Place in Which to Live.'' And, for 100 years they have lived 
this motto.
  I have had the privilege to work closely with this association on 
numerous community and neighborhood projects. They have a history of 
success in making Woodlawn a better place in which to live. These 
successes have led to a better Bronx and a better New York City. From 
securing a neighborhood library to preventing a discriminatory tax 
assessment, from spearheading beautiful programs to keeping open the 
local fire station, the Woodlawn Heights Taxpayers and Community 
Association has a record of accomplishment hard to beat.
  The people of Woodlawn, of the Bronx, and of New York City have 
something of which to be very proud.
  To the officers past and present and to the members of the Woodlawn 
Heights Taxpayers and Community Association--Thank you for your 
efforts, your hard work, and your dedication.
