Police Chief Brown’s plan to put more policemen on the street by as- signing one instead of two officers to each precinct scout car today had run afoul of at least one citizens’ associ- ation, The Dahlgren Terrace group last night passed a motion, offered by its president, A. F. E. Scheer, to request Maj Brown to place two policemen in all radio cars operating in the twelfth precinct. The resolution cited the injury Tuésday of the lone officer in a | radio car pursuing a speeding auto- mobile occupied by two colored men and declared the violators pmbably‘ would have been caught had there been two men in the police car. S. J. Solomon, Washington Airport manager, told the association that if a new airport is provided for the, Capital it should be bought and main- tained with Federal funds He ex- pressed opposition to Gravelly Point because it is filled land and said it | probably would be years before it would be suitable for an airfield. He also cited the fact the taxi fare to| Gravelly Point is about $1 higher than to the present Washington Air- | port. The group directed Secretary John | H. Williams to ask the Board of Edu- | cation to remove mud from the side- | walk adjacent to the Crosby S. Noyes School. A resolution proposing the raising of edditional revenue for the District by | the imposition of capital, tobacco, cos- metic and other taxes was tabled until | the next meeting, after a debate. A | motion to support the request of the Trinidad Citizens’ Association for a traffic light at Eleventh and H streets was carried. The association voted to become a member of the Northeast Suburban ! Conference of Citizens’ Associations and elected as delegates to the con- ference Secretary Williams and Wil- liam H. Weber, and as alternates W. B. Greenwood and J. G. Kingsbury. The January meeting will be held in conjunction with the business men of the Dhalgren Terrace community to afford an interchange of ideas.
