IPLSEDVERSN O SPECAL TAIES Petworth Citizens Voice Op- position to Proposal—0f- ficers Are Elected. Opposition to a proposal favoring diversion of special taxes into the general fund was expressed last night by the Petworth Citizens' Associa- tion, meeting at the Petworth School. In reporting the resolution, the| Taxation Committee held that ear-| marked funds result in excessive or | inadequate funds for the purpose for which they are meant, and the plac- ing of all special funds into one general fund would result in more| simplified administration. It was also | declared a means of reducing the tax burden of District residents. Adverse Opinion Voiced. TImmediately after the report, how- ever, several members expressed ad- verse opinions to that of the commit- tee. One member declared of the report: “It is obviously a disguised effort to shove the gasoline tax money into the general fund.” Many mem- bers were of the belief that the con- version of the gasoline tax particularly ‘would be unfair, Raymond E. Gable, secretary, cited attempts made last year by repre- sentatives from Maryland and Virginia to increase the District’s present 2-cent gasoline tax. He declared if the Petworth group favored the pro- posed measure, it might be the wedge by which these same interests would reopen the issue again this year, Officers Are Elected. In the absence of Lyster H. Dewey, retiring president, Earl W. Coope presided. The annual election of offi- | cers was held, and Cooper was elected president. Other officers elected are George W. Potter, first vice president; Mrs Horace J. Phelps, second vice presi. dent; Raymond E. Gable, secretary Hugh S. Smith, assistant secretary. W. N. Barret, financial secretary. John T. Thomas, treasurer; R. T. Haugh, sergeant at arms, and James G. Yaden and Harvey O. Craver, dele- gates to the Federation of Citizens' Associations. The office of corre sponding secretary was left tempo. rarily vacant. _Dr. L. B. Norris of the Medical So- ciety of the District explained Dr. George C. Ruhland’s campaign against the spread of tuberculosis. M. G. Huntmann was admitted to membership. Head-Hunters Rampant.

FINNAN OUTLINES PARK AGTIVITIES Describes Program of De- velopment Before Meeting of Southeast Council. New park developments and beauty improvement in the Southeast were forecast last night by C. Marshall Fin- nan, superintendent of the National Capital parks, at the meeting of the Southeast Council in the Buchanan School. The opening to the public early next Spring of the 700-acre Fort Dupont Park and the further development of the D section of Anacostia Park to in- clude tennis courts and other recrea- tional facilities are some of the plans which have been approved by the Na- tional Capital parks, said Finnan. ‘The removal of the symphony barge from the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge Leave Washington .

The taking of this action had been agitated by Southeast residents for some time. The barge will be dismantled and stored until next Spring, when it is again planned to be used as a stage for the National Symphony Orchestra. James G. Yaden, who will retire as president of the Pederation of Citizens’ Associations next month, addressed the group, stressing united action as a means of bringing forth results. He stated that civic work should have for its 'aim the making of Wash- 1 & more beautiful and better place in which to live. “The citizens’ associations have per- formed a wonderful work and have left their imprint in every nook of the city of Washington,” he said. ‘Yaden also mentioned the new taxes which the District was facing and said, “business will look out for it- self” and civic organizations should therefore be awake when Congress is ready to levy the additional taxes.

Vernis Absher, chairman of the Committee on Streets and Bridges, said the grading of Minnesota avenue from Pennsylvania avenue to Benning road southeast had been approved by (CONNECTING AIRLINE TO PITTSBURG! 5 Hours 10 Minutes An Achievement In Travel Comfort— TWA’s Douglas Skyliners !
