- (EBUCATION BOARD ELECTION OPPOSED Sixteenth Street Highlands for National Representa- tion First. Unanimous opposition to election by| popular vote of a District Board of Edu- cation before the question of national representation for the Federal City is settled was voiced last night in a reso- Jution adopted by the Sixteenth Street Highlands Citizens’ Association at a meeting held in the Sixth Presbyterian Church. Introducing the resolution, Jesse Ben- jamin set forth three outstanding rea- sons which tended, he said, to discoun- tenance the practicability of resorting to plebiscitary methods in selecting a Board of Education as proposed in a bill now pending in Congress. The pro- posal was submitted to the legislative body by Senator Capper in the Senate and Representative Zihlman in the House, respective chairmen of the con- gressional District committees.

Third, conditions are not such that complete success ‘could be realized in the inaugurating of voting machinery.” Voting Question Discussed. ‘The association went into lengthy dis- cussion of the voting question, charac- terizing 1t as “a very serious problem, because of the attitude the Govern- ment of the United States might take in the event of the granting of votes to the District.” A resolution requesting the Govern- ment to re-establish a center market to replace the one at Seventh street and Pennsylvania. avenue, which is to be demolished June 30 to make way for the execution of the new Government buildings program, was defeated. In the absence of Dr. Lewis J. Battle, president of the association, Harry Wood, first vice president, presided at the meeting. IRON FALLS ON MAN. Minor Injuries Treated at Emer- gency Hospital. Struck on the head by a falling piece of iron while working on a building under construction at Jefferson and M streets yesterday, Edward Lynch, 31 years old, of 5329 Illinois avenue, was knocked to the ground two floors below. At Emergency Hospital his injuries were found to be trivial and after treatment he was allowed to go home. THE EVE LONGER RETENTIN OF WARKET URCED Washington Highlands In- dorses Dougherty and Talia- ferro for New Term. A resolution favoring the retention of the Center Market until appropria- tion for a new site and market is made available by Congress, indorsement of Commissioners Dougherty and Talla- ferro for another term and a speech by A| James G. Yaden, past president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, now chairman of the federation's com- mittee on education, featured the meet- ing of the Washington Highlands Citi- zens' Association last night in Congrese Helghts School, Nichols avenue and Raleigh street southeast. In discussing the market the urgent need for such an establishment in the District was pointed out and the danger of losing out in such a project was stressed until Congress makes available an_appropriation for a new site and new bullding before the old market is demolished. In indorsing Dougherty and Talia- ferro for reappointment Dr. J. W. Payne pointed out that while no unusual tasks have been performed by the Commis- sioners they have executed their duties STAR, WASHINGTON, " urhln manner, and as no candi- of & more imposing nature are they should be retained for an- other term. Mr. Yaden stressed the importance of citizens’ associations in the District and urged the Washington Highlands body to take a more firm stand in ments, ularly with regard to school appropriations. He pointed out the need for a four-room addition to the Congress Heights School and the abol- lshmelm of the portable sections of the school. ‘With reference to the Center Market, Mr. Yaden said the citizens' associa- tions should not specify any location for the market, as too many suggested sites present a conflicting problem and more than likely will result in nothing accomplished. The location of the mar- ket, he said, should be left in the hands of Congress. Chairmen of the standing commit- AUTOMOBILE, LIABILITY, FIRE, BURGLARY AND TORNADO INSURANCE THOS.
