The action. was taken by the board of governors, fol- lowing the presentation of a esolu- tion by Charles F. Crane, chairman of the Master Printers’ section of the assoclation, which was unanimously adopted. Louls Levy, chairman of the Laun- dry Owners’ section of the assoclation, in seconding the resolution, sald that Washington is fortunate in the effi- clent personnel of its police and fire depurtments, “but we certainly need more men in order to keep the pres- ent forces and to secure additional men they must be more adequately compensated.” Maj. Gen Aunton Stephan, president of the association, was directed to wend a letter to Postmaster General New and City Postmaster Mooney, £x- pressing the appreciation of the mier- chants of Washington for the part they played In facllitating the Christ- mas trade.

The resolution, introduced by J. P. Benfer of the committes on streets and sidewalks, also urged that a large danger sign be placed at Doug- las strect and the railroad tracks, warning that the present crossing is a private one. The committes be- lieves, the resolution said, that the contiguity of the proposed 24th street tunnel would remove any temptation i Lo use the private crossing.

Brumbaugh named a committee to represent the assoclation at the forthcoming opening of the new No. 12 station house, at Rhode Island avenue and 17th street northeast. A motion asking employers of itinerant merchandise venders to keep them away from the assoclation | territory was passed. The assoclation | indorsed Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile Court for reappointment. i Living costs in Washiugton in Sep- tember of the current year wers vir- tually one-fifth less than lving costs for June, 1920, when the highest point in costs since 1913 was reached.
