Brogan, was appointed to at- | tend hearings on the matter before the | | Public Utilities Commission. It was pointed out by the association | that the erection of such a holder would be a detriment to the beauty of that | section, Members of the organization also will | protest before the Public Utilities Com- | mission the charging of & fee by the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. for transferring phones from one ac- count to another. Deploring the failure of civic organ- izations to protest against exclusion by the District Appropriations Committee of the item of $600,000 for local unem- ployment relief, the association adopted a resolution appointing & committee to attend hearings and request that the item be inserted in the bill. * The action of the traffic director in removing certain traffic lights on K street northeast was protested by the members. George J. Cleary, president of the | assoclation, presided at the meeting, which was held in the Wheatley School. U. S. GIRL DIES IN PARIS | Was Befriended by Wealthy Amer- ican When Penniless.
