CITIZENS OPPOSE CAPITAL AIRPORT Rhode Island Avenue Group Favors Development by Private Enterprise. Asserting private enterprise will de- welop sufficient airway service as it is needed, the Rhode Island Amue Citi- zens’ Association, meeting in the Sher- ‘wood Presbyterian Church, last night, went on record as nppoud to the bill of leunm ham, provid: for the eemu-hment rt a munu:lp lm on the Virginia side of the High- 'amacrutflon of a firehouse on or near Rhode Island avenue east of Fifteenth street was urged in a resolution adoj on motion of J. P. McBeth, which m.-om have been unable to H:.henlt hu- needed Tepairs or mmu. pmlpfl‘ud a stormy dehn and finally was referred back to the streets and sidewalks committee for further consideration. Another protracted discussion ensued when the association was asked to ac- cept the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad’s offer to close the grade crossing near Twenty-sixth and Evarts streets north- east. Although there was a unanimous sentiment in fgvor of the elimination of the crossing, which has been the scene of several accidents, the citizens were reluctant to accept the railroad's claim that the crossing was on private property and !ln-uy instructed its streets committee to investigate this matter. The woodndke male quartet, con- sisting of Roy Easter, C. R. Allen, James Silver and Willlam M. Hanft, sang at the meeun. Vice President E. G. Seivers presided. —_— Letter That Was Not Delivered.
