6~ PARKWAY URGED - NEAR KEY BRIDGE Georgetown Citizens Anxious to Have Entrance to City Beautified. Beautifying the approach to Wash- ington over the Key Bridge by trans- forming Thirty-fifth street from M to Prospect street into a parkway, is to be sought by the Georgetown Citi- zens’ Association, according to action taken at a meeting of the association last night. It was pointed out that the street practically is useless for vehicular traffic because of its extreme steep- ness and is an eyesore to those driv- ing across Key Bridge into the city. It is planned to have the street barri- caded at Prospect street, the copble stones removed from the roadway and a terraced parking placed hetween the sidewalks, with flowers, henches and shade trees. An excellent view of the upper and lower river is possible from the site.’ Opposition to a contemplated change in the constitution of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations providing for an increase in annual dues from $10 to $12.50 per year was voiced. The pro- posed amendment was voted down be- cause it was stated that the additional funds were to be used for the purpose of supporting the Citizens' Advisory Council, which, the Georgetown mem- bers claim, does not represent the federation or any of its constituents bodies, it was said. The report of the executive commit tee urged the Commissioners to in clude in their estimates for the com ing fiscal year an item for the es. tablishment of a public_comfort sta tion in the vicinity of Wlsconsin ave nue and M street. The association has been making this same appeal fo the past five or six years. Installation of an improved- lighting system Is to be requested for M street from Twenty-eighth street ta Thirty- sixth street. on R street from Twenty- eighth to Thirty-fifth street and on Q street from Rock Creek Rridge to Thirty-fifth street. Reduction of curb lines at corners of streets entering Wisconsin avenue is to be urged for the purpose of affording easier en- trance and exit to the avenue. Heav- fly traveled thoroughfares in need of reeurfacing to be brought to the at- tention of the Commissioners include Twenty-ninth street from O sireet to Pennsylvania avenue, Wisconsin ave. nue from M to K street, R street from Wisconsin avenue to Thirtieth street, and Potomac street from M to Prospect street. It was voted to ask for a reduction of the two-hour parking privilege on M street. The association then ad journed until October. First Viee President Isaac Nordlinger presided.
