18 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, THURSDAY, MAY 21 1925 SOUTHVEST HOLDS GUIDES SLANDER Citizens’ Association Charges Tourist Bus Lecturers “Poke Fun” at the Neighborhood. Condemnation of the alleged prac- tice of guldes around the Capitol and other public bulldings making disparaging remarks about the South- west section of the city, was voiced in resolutions adopted by the South- west Citizens' Assoclation at a meet ing in the Falrbrother School, Tenth and I streats, last night. Lecturers on sight scelng busses also “poke fun” at “the Southwest, it was said, on trips through this sectlon, where many of the Government buildings are lo cated. The resolution urges the architect of the Capitol, who has furisdiction over all guldes within the Capitol reservution, to endeavor to put a stop to the ‘‘unpleasant, detrl- mental and slanderous references to this historical section of Washington.” Managers of sight-seeing busses also will be urged to ban such utter- ances by their employes or “be in a position to prove the authenticity of their assertions.” Protest Council Plan. President George M. Yeatman re- ported on the action taken by the as- sociation’s delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Assoclations in an effort 10 defer election of members of the Citizans' Advisory Council until such time as a broader scheme could be worked out, whereby the council would be more representative of the entire city The association favored the council plan, but disapproved of the method of electing members there. of and did not name a candidate. Mr. Yeatman outlined an amend- ment to the councll plan, which, he sald, will be up for consideration be- fore the federation at its first meeting in June. His proposed amendment calls for three councilmen from the Northwest section, one of whom shall e from Georgetown, another from the Northwest suburbs and the third to represent the northwest proper; two councllmen from the Northeast, one to represent the suburban section: two to represent the Southeast and its suburbs and one councilman for the entire Southwest. The South west. he sald, has but one assoclation of citizens and there are no suburban mections here. = After adopting resolutions express ing regret at the death of Commission er James F. Oyster, the association indorsed Wiillam T. Galliher for ap. vointment to the vacancy in the office of Commissioner. Robert Strobel, chairman of the police and fire protection committee, Teported that the association's request for one of the new motor fire engines recently placed in service here had been denied, but that he had assur- ance that consideration would be §iven to Southwest fire-fighting needs when the next_consignment of appa- ratus arrives. It was pointed out that the tractor-drawn equipment now housed at No. 13 Engine House is in- adequate. Suggest School Site. Indorsement was given to the plan to bulld a new building to take the place of the Jefferson Junior High School. - Tt will be suggested to the Roard of Education that when the new structure is erected it be placed one square suoth of its pres- ent location at Sixth and D streets and that the site of the present bulld- ing be converted into a vground. The Pennsylvania Rallroad Co. will be urged to install electric engines to transport its trains through the city, and in this manner remove tae huisance caused by smoke and noise, Which, it was sald, is detrimental to the studies of the school children. Request also will be made for addl- tional playground facilities on Twelfth street between C and D streets. The superintendent of public build- ings and grounds will be urged to re- new the band concerts in the Smith- ronlan Grounds. The concerts were discontinued here two years ago and since have been given in the Theater on the Monument ground: was #aid that this is not meeting with the desires of the Southwest citizens, being more in the interest of an inerant audience. campalgn for the beautifying of lawns and gardens in the South- west will be launched by the associa- tion, and prizes are to be awarded for the best displays.
