A—12 «x NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, CHANGES 0PPOSED) AT DUPONT CIRCLE Citizens’ Association Again Takes Action Against New Car Tracks. A recommendation that no change be made in the present street car route | around Dupont Circle “until some definite plan is devised for the ultimate solution of the transportation problem” was made by the Dupont Circle Citi- pens’ Association at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in the Mayflower Hotel. This action was taken, it was said, because there has been no decision as yet concerning the purchase by the Capital Transit Co. of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., and because pro- posals to substitute busses for street cars on Connecticut avenue are being considered. Tracks Are Opposed. Specifically the association opposed the proposal to lay tracks around the east side of Dupont Circle to permit northbound cars to follow a normal route around the circle. Admiral Mark Bristol, chairman of the Streets, Parks and Trafic Committee, said this project would cost at least $200.000 and declared “the new route would simply create a traffic hazard similar to the one at Thomas Circle. Following a recommendation pro- posed by Mrs. William Floyd Crosby the group went on record as favoring retention of the Board of Public Library Trustees “with undiminished | powers.” In adopting a resolution to | this effect members praised the present library system in the District and de- clared they saw no reason for a change John Ihlder, chairman of the Alley Dwelling Authority, was guest speaker at yesterday's meeting. He explained that under the alley clearance act, his organization kas the two-fold respon- sibility of (1) converting the present alley dwellings into economic and so- cial assets to the community and (2) the moral obligation of rehousing the present alley dwellers in low cost, hab- itable dwellings He declared Washington is facing a very serious housing shortage not only in higher-income housing but in the lowest priced habitable dwellings. Plan Declared Unsound. When one member suggested, as a solution to the rehousing obligation, the large apartment house of the type now used extensively in Vienna, | Ihlder branded this plan as “abso- | lutely unsound, both economically and socially.” | “Actually, the rent now paid by residents in those apartments pays only the operating costs,” he said. | “There is no return on capital in- vested.” “As for the social factor,” he said, *“housing in masses tends to regiment the residents.” In closing, Thlder requested the | members to be patient with his or- ganization in this work and that “if | you have any criticism, first seek in- | formation from us before making up your mind in a hostile wa; | Heads W.

Expressing confidence in the District Commissioners, the Michigan Park Citizens’ Association last night unani- mously passed a resolution asking that all recreation facilities within the Dis- trict be put under control of the Dis- trict Commissioners or any commit- tee appointed by them. They also request that not only the public playgrounds be put under the control of the Commissioners, but also swimming pools, golf courses, stadiums and other public places that would come under the term of recreational facilities. This, however, would not include the recreational units of pub- lic schools, which would be taken care of by the Board of Education. A resolution recommending compul- sory liability insurance for all public operated “for hire” vehicles, or finan- cial responsibility, was recorded by the group. The association took no action on the proposed parking ban on certain streets, declaring that “this is a dras- tic move and nothing should be done | INSTALL NOW |HOLLAND FURNACE NO LOSS OF HEAT—NO INCONVENIENCE 22° Fice Pot.
