8! # i By ZENS PROTES STREETCLOSING Devonshire Downs Group Acts on Proposal to Cut Off Three Thoroughfares. Resolutions urging that no portion of Van Ness or Tilden streets and Reno road be closed to traffic by the pro- visions of a bill now pending in Con- gress which would give the Commis- 3 sioners authority to close streets in any section of the District at their discre- tion were unanimously adopted by the Devonshire Downs Citizens' Association at a meeting in the Home for Incur- ables last night. This bill had already been passed by the House, and when it reached the Senate the opposition to the closing of Van Ness street was so great on the part of Devonshire Downs residents that the Senate committee referred it back to the Disttrict Commissioners, who held hearings with the citizens resulting in an agreement not to close either of the thoroughfares mentioned. It is under- stood the Senate committee in charge of this measure will accede to the wishes of the citizens and accordingly the res- olutions adopted will be forwarded to the Senate. William J. Neale, vice president of the association, who pre- sented the association’s case before the Commissioners, was given a vote of thanks for his efforts. Other actions taken along the lines of proposed expansion of the Bureau of Standards included recommendations that vacant land to the north of the present bureau site extending to within 150 feet of the Connecticut avenue and Albemarle street frontages be acquired in preference to acquiring private prop- erty, which, it was said, would be much more expensive and would create a situation distasteful to the community. Mrs. M. Z. Baughman, T. S. Settle and W. S. Hall were appointed a com- | mittee to co-operate with committees from neighborhood assoclations in an effort to have the Park and Planning Commission take over a tract of wooded land to the south of the Bureau of Standards extending eastward to Rock Creek Park. On motion of Mrs, Baughman, dele- gate to the Federation of Citizens' As- sociations, it was voted to reiterate the plea of the organization for adequate and suitable armory facilities for the istrict. DPcur new members were elected to membership in the association. Vice President Willlam J. Neale presided. CIVIL SERVICE JOBS OPEN Commissicn Announces Examina- tions Soon.

Year’s Electrical Achievements. ‘Two outstanding accomplishments in lghting during the last year were the production of the sun lamp, which serves as & safe source of ultra-violet rays, and the water-cooled lamp, which makes feasible a high intensity of llumination combined with low tem- peratures. The trend toward the con- centration of greater wattages in single street lighting standards and higher intensities of illumination for business streets was exemplified by & recent in- stallation in Detroit which utilizes 2.000-watt Mazda lamps and gives an illumination of about 1,900 lumens per linear foot of street.
