Dire need for adequate fire-fighting apparatus and lack of a near fire house, as reported by the Committee on Police and Fire of the Sixteenth Street Citizens’ Assoclation, caused | the members of the association to pro- test vigorously against the fire protec- tion afforded this vicinity in a meet- ing at the Shepherd School last night. Charles W. Schafer, reporting, said, “In a short time the city will have a shortage of fire apparatus. Some of the equipment now in use is 16 years old and no new apparatus is being purchase to replace the ancient and worn engines.” There are two fire engines, one old and one fairly new, in the Brightwood fire station, which serves the neigh- borhood from 2 miles away, according to the report. Connecticut Fire Cited. “If the engines that are used to give us fire protection had had to combat the fire on Connecticut avenue the other night, I am afraid the child and woman, who were barely saved in using new equipment, would not have been rescued.” Schafer continued. President Samuel B. Loveless said, push this issue, I believe we can get a fire house. Members in the past have objected to various sites because they have been near to or adjoining their property, but I think the need is 80 great that no one would let this interfere now.” A site for the proposed fire house on Eastern avenue between Thirteenth street and Georgia avenue was sub- mitted to the committee for consid- eration by Mr. Loveless. The Police and Fire Commitice was | instructed to submit the protest to | the Commissioners and make & report of the results at the June meeting. Airport Site Favored. The Kenilworth association resolu- tion proposing the old Benning race track for the site of & new Washing- ton airport was opposed on the grounds that the site of the present ‘Washington Airport is nearer the business center of the city and more desirable. A resolution was passed that pro- vided for the sending of circulars by mail to all the members, asking them to decorate their homes in some way for the Shriners’ Convention. The measure was submitted by O. H. Ritenour, who was appointed chair- man of the Committee on Decoration for the Shriners’ Convention. A committee consisting of Mrs. H. | n | W. Smith, chairman; J. Swechler and Mrs. Lucille McCall was appointed to take charge of refresh- ments for the next meeting, which will be social night, Resolutions on suffrage for citizens of the District of Columbia, reorgan- | ization plan for Washington and plans for July 4 were tabled until the June meeting.

From this point the water will be raised by booster pumps to the pres- ent elevated steel tanks now a part| of the present water system. It is estimated that the system will have a capacity of 1,250,000 gallons of fil- tered water per day which can be used for all purposes. Road Constructed. Construction of a graveled road from the work house to the site of the proposed pump house—a distance of about 1'; miles—has been com- pleted sufficiently to provide a means of transporting construction materials. In addition, a high tension power line has been run along this road to fur- nish power for operating the pumps. Excavation is under way for the construction of a dam, pump house and other buildings at the site of the pumping plant. Cast-iron pipe and other materials have been purchased and delivered, and approximately 1,500 feet of 12-inch water main have the work house. Supt. A. L.
