The North Capitcl and Eckington Citi- zers’ Association met at the corner of Lin- coln avenue and R= street last evening. Wm. G. Henderson presided and S. M. Leitzell acted as secretary There was a long discussion over the question of police protection in Eckington. Although the number of patrolmen in that section has been increased during the last year the protection afforded the people was not regarded as suthcient. W. J. Fowler spoke of two special policemen who had made an effort to have the people of Eck- Ington and West Eckington subscribe to @ fund for their employment in watching in the neighborhood and had already secured over thirty subscribers at 25 cents per week each. Mr. Fowler thought there should be ample police protection for the city without residents subscribing for spe- cial policemen. After considerable discus- sion the committee on fire and police pro- tection was instructed to take action look- ing toward a better police protection for the vicinity of Eckington and West Eck- ington. The association adopted resolutions thanking those members who had worked to secure an appropriation for an cleat room school building in the vicinity of North Capitol and R streets, and also adopted resclutions requesting the Com- missioners to name the school for Senator Teller, chairman of the subcommittee of the appropriations commitiee. which placed a provision for the building of the schoul bullding in the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill. A. R. Serven recounted the progress that had been made by the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railway Company toward in- troducing air motors on its lines. J. H. Lane said he had great hopes, from read- ing the reports of the cost of operating the air motor, that that motor would prove a success. He shewed that great econo- mies had been introduced in the operation of the underground electric and other sys- tems during the first years of their opera- tion, and he thought it likely the same e: perience would be net with in the opera- tion of the air motor. At the close of the meeting the presi- dent of the association, Mr. Henderson, gave an account of his course in acting with representatives of other citizens’ as- ai S22 Hate and Bonneta.“ Brergthing new ¢ | city on the board of District Commission- aire ieee : nt above VR. )| ers and by unanimous vote the association CAFE.
