" PETWORTH CITIZENS URGE PAY INCREASE Bill to Raise Salaries of Po- lice and Fire Employes Is Indorsed. The unanimous indorsement of the Gapper-Zihlman bill for increased pi for Fire and Police Departments, ol mendation of the Public Utilities Com- mission’s new proposal for a merger of the District traction companies, and the adoption of a resolution favoring | the re-establishment of Center Mal ket were the highlights of last nigh meeting of the Petworth Citizens’ As- | The resolution indorsing creased pay bill for firemen and po- licemen was introduced by Edward S. | White, chairman of the fire and police committee. ‘ Fire Captain Speaks. i Capt. H. A. Chapman of No. 18 En- gine Company of the District Fire De- partment, who appeared at the meet- ing in behalf of the bill, also gave the | members of the association advice and instruction regarding the procedure to | be followed in reporting a fire and pro- tecting lives. | He advocated the installation of fire hoxes in school houses and declared | that school children should be familiar- ized, through instruction, with the ma- nipulation of fire boxes. He cited se eral instances wherein the lack of knowledge regarding the operation of fire alarms resulted catastrophes. Capt. Chapman is president of the District Fire Fighters' Association. The resolution commending the pro- pesal of the Public Utilities Commis- | sion for the street railway merger was introduced by Horace J. Phelps, chair- man of the public utilities committee of the body. i The question of making Rock Cr!rkl Church road a one-way street from Georgia avenue east to Seventh street, | to render feasible the operation of traf- | fic lights at the intersection, was dis~ussed at length, but recommenda- | tions were deferred. About the middle of November traffic lights were in- stalled at the intersection of Georgia avenue and New Hampshire avenue, at which crossing Rock Creek Church road also joins. These traffic lights were turned on and the movement of traffc carefully observed, and it was found that the crosscurrent of traffic coming west on Rock Creek Church road interfered seriously with the run of traffic northeast on New Hampshire avenue. As a result, the lights were turned off until Rock Creek Church road could be made a one-way street east and the busses coming west on that thoroughfare could be rerouted in line with it. One-Way Plan Is Favored. At a meeting of the Petworth Citi- | gens' Association om November 19 the committee on fire and police prote: tion was authorized to make an inv tigation of the condition at the inte * gection. It was also instructed to op- pose the making of Rock Creek Church road a one-way street. Chairman White declared last night that he found little opposition to the making of the thoroughfare a one-way street in a canvass which he made of the r dents in the affected vicinity. certained that the Georgia Avenue Business Men's Association had sent a Jetter to Traffic Director Harland ‘a- voring a one-way street. Discord, however, came from some members of the Park View Citizens' Association, who opposed the plan. Mr. Harland at a meeting of the Pet- worth group's executive committee De: cember 2, explained that one-way tra fic east on Rock Creek Church road is required only from Georgia avenue to Seventh street, and that the lights at d New Hampshire one-way ffic is n effect. The traffic west on Rock Creek Church road can go on Quincy street directly out of Rock Creek Church road and proceed directly to New Hampshire avenue, Mr. Harland ex- plained. The Trafic Bureau already has requested the rerouting of tho busses by the Public Utilities Commis- sion in conformity with the one-way | traffic. | James G. Yaden, former president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and a member of the Petworth citizens’ body in opposing the making of Rock Creeh Church road a one-way street, declared that “Harland and Eldridge had blundered and were trying to for- mulate some scheme to get out of their difficult; The association's committee on fire and police protection is to confer with respective committees of the Park View Citizens’ Association and the matter will be brought up at the January THE EVENING STAR.
