By a Staff Correspondent INGTON, Md., March 9.— tion authorizinz the construc- tion of a belt line railroad bridge acress the Potomac River above the “hain Bridge, and connecting Fairfax nty. Va.. with Montgomery Coun. . now pending in the United s Senate, was condemned last in a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Montgomery County Civic Federation, held here in the schoolhouse. Reports showing that the school sit- ion in the county was not s s and urging a meeting of .the citizens end of the county in h the idea of providing some regular fire protec- tion were read and approved by the association. A resolution censuring Representa- tive Fred Zihlman of Maryland for what was declated to be his failure to object to the bridge legislation at the time of its passage on a consent calendar by the House of Representa- tives provoked a long debate, but was finally referred to the committee on transportatic There was a long-drawn-out fight over the seating of the delegates from Garrett Park, Md., which resulted in the adoption of a committee repc seating the second list of deleg: sent in, Acts on Fourteenth Street. Without debate the federation adopt- ed the resolution reported fram the committee on transportation by L. G. Van Fosen, its chairman, expressing opposition to any change in the atti- tude in Congress for the opening of Fourteenth street, and recommended that this thoroughfare be continued through the Walter Reed Hospital to the Maryland line, and street cars not halted at the southern boundary of the hospital as proposed. Copies will be sent to the Maryland Senators and Representatives. William W. Bride, delegate from Edgemoor, and chairman of the com- mittee on public safety, presented a veport of that committee on the mat- ter of police and fire protection, par- ticularly dealing with problems in the intensely developed southern end of the county. A comprehensive study should be made, he sald. for the pur- pose of determining whether there should be a fire protection system linked up with the rest of the county or whether a separate system should be developed in the Bethesda district. Another important question was whether it should be paid by the coun- ty as a whole or whether by each dis- trict in proportion to the amount of protection it had. He pointed out that the action of the committee reported at the last meeting suggesting that each plece of volunteer apparatus should have a paid driver was only a tentative recommendation of the com- mittee and was not_intended to be final. He paid a high tribute to the volunteer system in the county, and at this time he said he believed it to be far superior to the paid system. Lauds D. C. Fire Department. He recommended that the citizens of Bethesda district should be called upon to meet and determine what kind of a system should be provided for this section, which is rapidly growing and now has millions in property at stake. He pointed out that the section is compelled to de- pend upon the charity of the District Fire Deparment, which may have to be withdrawn at any time in the in- terest of fire protection in the Dis- trict of Columbia. They come to the aid of their Maryland neighbors now. he said, only because their high e of duty and manhood directs them, and he praised the District fire fighters in the very highest of terms. He recommended that the meeting to diseuss _fire protection needs he held at the Bethesda School early in April. The committee has been assured by the county commissioners of their aid in getting additional police pro- tection, he said, but even they were limited in their powers and he urged that steps be taken to increase their powers 1o meet the needs incident to the development of the county. In criticisms of the county, he said. due consideration should be given to the limitations on the authorities. Resolutions of thanks and com- mendation for both the District and Montgomery County Fire Depart- ments were passed, and the report also was approved. School Conditions Cited. School conditions at Fort B: Hills were reported on by M § Brooke Lee, ch of the commit- tee on_education e read a letter from Edwin W. Broome, superintend- ent of county schools. explaining the conditions, and telling of the steps taken to correct them. Only two chil- en, third-grade pupils, are out of school, it was found, and these were forced out of District schools because of crowded conditions there. All of the people having children now in the District of Columbia schools expressed the desire to have them in Maryland schools, but it was not believed de- sirable to make a shift this late in the season. The Bethesda School is within easy transportation distance from Ba: ard Hills and a bus will be placed in service to transport the chil- dren out of school in this section to the Bethesda School, and the pramise was made, Maj. Lee reported, that when the new vear starts sufficient transportation 1l be provided to transport all of the children of the community whose parents want them to go to the Bethesda School. Maj. Lee, in his report, which was adopted, said that the committee does not believe that the present school population in Fort Bayard Hills ex- ceeds the number of children that can be cared for in a two-room school, and DISTEMPER Watch Your Dog At the very first symptom of chills, die- emt from eyes, of aj ite Slover's Imperial Diptemper Medic dnt and continue for several daywafter all symptoms have disappeared, ‘This medicine is very effective in the treatment and prevention of distemper and colds. .

Maj. Lee recommended that the matter of having a_police substation |J- on the Washington-Rockville road as near the center of Betheda as possible and one on the Washington-Olney road at or near the center of Silver Spring be taken up with the county commissioners. These substations | should be connected by telephone, and | arrangements made for transferring| calls direct to headquarters in Rock-| ville in the event that the substation officers in charge are absent, The matter was referred to the com mittee on public safety.

He | pointed out, in discussing the resolu- tion, that the feWeration grew out of the mass meeting organized to oppose the belt line railroad, and that the stand of the people of Montgomery County against it was well known, and. in fact, the matter has been pre sented direct to Representative Zihl- man.

Mr. Kuhn surrendered the gavel to George H. Lamar of Rockville and spoke against the belt line project and on Mr. Zihiman's failure to act. Bond Smith of Takoma Park said there was nothing undignified in the resolution. and that while Mr. Zihl- man had done much for the county nd district, nevertheless he should he assured of just how the feleration tood and felt on the matter and where he fell down. He said that the place for Mr. Zihlman at the time the measure was up hefore the House | in his seat. and he should not | left the matter for Senator O, F Weller of nd to fizht out i the Senate, entitled to know where the’ federation stands and to know it now, he concluded Maj.

The whole matter was referred to committee. Charles H. Merrvman from Brad ley Hills invited the federation to hold its May meeting in the Bethesda hool and announced that it would be a ladies’ night, at which entertain. ment would be provided.

R BRDGE ONUPPER POTOMAC Takoma Park Citizens Pro- test Proposal as Injurious to Suburbs. The Takoma Park Citizens' Asso- ciation expressed opposition to the construction and maintenance of a railroad bridge across the upper Po- tomac River at a meeting in the Takoma Public Library, corner Fifth and Cedar streets, last night. The bill introduced by Representa- tive Newton of Missouri authorizes the Washington and Loughborough Terminal and Belt Line Railroad to construct and maintain a bridge over the Potomac a short distance beyond the District line and for a belt line raldroad through lower Montgomery Country in Maryland. Those opposing the proposition pointed out that it would he injurious to the suburban sections bordering the District and especially the Sligo and Long Branch valleys just north of Takoma Park. Attention was' called to the fact that an unusual number of trains »ass daily through this city and with the construction of a belt line much of this traffic might be diverted, thus relieving the congested conditions now heing experienced. The recent’ grade crossing accident at Chestnut street was discussed and the association voted favorable action for the bill in Congress eliminating all grade crossings in the District and First Mongage Bonll ToeF T Smith Co Smith Bidg. 816 15A 3 NO Loss To ANY INVESTOR IN 53 YEARS referred to the streets and lights com- mittee the method of eliminating the crossing at Chestnut street. Mem- bers of the assoclation felt this cross- ing could be abolished and an over- head bridge, instead of a viaduct, con- structed at less expense. A proposi- tion advanced by J. Bond Smith, a Maryland resident, favoring regula- tion of train speed by the District Commissioners, resulted in the associ ation voting that the speed of all trains be reduced to 30 miles an hour until such time as the Chestnut street crossing is eliminated. The association nominated J. G. Yaden as its condidate for election as a member of the City Advisory Council. Gustav A. Anderson was elected a member of the association. President E. E.
