Rhode Island Avenue Citizens Say Government Should Pay $1,100,000. HOUR Resolutions protesting against Dis- trict funds being used for park ex- tenslons as contemplated in pending legislation were adopted by the Rhode Island Avenue Citlenzs’ As- soclation at a meeting in Sherwood Presbyterian Church last night. Willlam 8. Torbert, former member of the Citizens’ Advisory Council, said it was desired that Washing- ton should have beautiful parks and favored the $1,100,000 proposed as an annual appropriation, but he de- clared that the entire amount should come from the Federal Treasury. The aa!o(‘ln!ion reiterated its ap- peal for the “out and out repeal of the inequitous and obnoxious, unfair and unjust Borland amendment.” Mr. Armstrong, chairman of the public utflities committee, pointed to an instance of unfair assessment on Bladensburg road, a national highway, where he said the owner of several acres abutting the thorough- fare, had been assessed for surfacing the roadway a few years ago and has again been assessed more than twice the original assessment for resurfacing only recently completed Development of certain sections of Woodridge with an undesirable type of home construction by a few build- ers was scored in other resolutions adopted. It was voted to appeal to the civic pride of the builders in an endeavor to have only houses of the better grade erected in the com- munity. An effort will be made to have the postmaster arrange for an earlier delivery of mail in the mornings than is new effective. It 4 was voted to investigate the sale of ice by dealers In this section, some of whom, it was pointed out, make thelr sales from wagons not equipped with scales. The street and sidewalk committee was instructed to urge the Commis- sloners to place a sidewalk on the south side of Brentwood road from Sixteenth to Eighteenth streets and on Rhode Island avenue between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth streets. Eighteenth street from Newton to Otis street and Evarts from Twen- tieth to Twenty-fourth streets were reported to be in bad condition and relief will be sought. There are two streets in the section with the name of Central avenue and it fs desired that one of the thorough- fares be renamed. New members elected were Frank C. Sanders, Willlam F. Grosskurth, George F. Smith, Harry Caldwell, A. Warren Davenport, H. A. Vieth, Wharton J. Bruce and J. Almquist. President Chester R. Smith presided. CRIPPLE DICTATES MUSIC.
