A-14 DISTRICT CITIZENS WILL JOIN FIGHT Chevy Chase Residemts Ready to Aid Maryland Battle on Bus Terminal. Members of the Chevy Chase Citi- vens' Association stand ready to aid their colleagues across the District line | in Maryland in repulsing any move oy | the Capital Transit Co. to erect a bus terminal in the vicinity of Chevy Chase | Circle and will most certainly oppose any proposition to place it in that sec- tion on the Washington side. This was made known last night by Edwin S. Hege, the association’s presi- | dent. who resides at 3822 Livingston | street. and is one of the two delegates | from his group to the Federation of | Citizens' Associations. The citizens of | Chevy Chase within the District are | aroused over reports that the Transit | Co. is projecting a structure for the | transfer of bus passengers in the vi-| cinity of the Circle. A similar attitude | {s taken by those in Maryland, Ready to Fight. Mr. Hege does not propose to stand | by and see the Capital Transit Co.| come in with a structure, utilitarian m | character, which, he contends, “would destroy the heart of the very beautifnl section of Chevy Chase.” He was the presiding officer at the dedication of the memorial fountain in Chevy Chase Circle to the late Senator Francis Griffith Newlands, Democrat, of Ne- vada and does not want to see that shrine encumbered with commercial structures. “My understanding of the proposi- {ion is that a building is proposed in the vicinity of the circle for passengeis desiring to wait for busses,” said Mr. Hege last night. “On that proposal 1f it were intended to have the struc- ture in Maryland it would be outside the area of our association. But we would be very much interested, for we are committed to the policy of de- fending Chevy Chase Circle, with .ts beautiful Newlands Fountain on it, from any raiding whatever by a com- mercial structure. “Therefore. if this proposal is to put it on the Marvland side, we would gladly co-operate with our| neighbors in Section Two of Chevy Chase, Md,, in an effort to defeat the project. Land Covenanted. “If either before or after the defeat of the plan on the Maryland side efforts were made to put a structure on the west side of Connecticut ave- nue, between Northampton street and Western avenue, where there is now & vacant tract of land, we would yery vigorously oppose the doing of any such thing “This tract of land is both zoned and covenanted in dexds for detached family dwellings. Consequently, we would oppose a change in zoning, as this” particular piece of ground has been several times before the Zoning Commission and we have defeated each time attempts t» commercialize it “Moreover, it is a certainty as re- gards the covenanis that action could be and would be taken through the Looking south toward Chevy Chase Circle.

To some extent, he ex- plained, the busses lay over there. They come up to the circle in groups of three, operating with very small headway and lay cver, until another group of .hree comes along to wait, he contended. | Planning Legal Moves. ‘ Probably later the situation will be ironed out, he said, when the public sees to it that the busses are run on a better-regulated schedule. The Pub- lic Utilities Commission—in the Dis- | trict—and the Public Service Commis- | sion in Maryland. he said. should work out such a facility as might be ac- ceptable to all concerned. Citizens of both Maryland and the District, in the area affected, are planning legal and other moves against the threatened erection of a bus ter- minal in the highly developed resi- dential section of Chevy Chase. Va- rious citizens’ groups that are meeting shortly propose to thresh out the mat- ter thoroughly and take it up, not only with the Capital Transit Co.. but the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the county commissioners of Montgomery County, Md., the Fine Arts Commission. the Public Utilities Commission and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, as well. | Opposition to the Capital Transit Co.'s proposal is gathering force and the interested authorities will cer- tainly be contacted to let them know. in no uncertain terms. the temper of the citizenry in the affected areas. of- ficials declared last night. They are not a little aroused over the apparent quietness with which the Capital Tran- sit Co. has gone about its plans. not even advising the Fine Arts Commis- sion or the National Capital Park and | Planning Commission. Under the law, ‘ the authorities say, the Planning Com- mission has been charged by Congress with dealing with transit and trans- portation problems in the metropoli- tan area and for this reason it should | be given full opportunity to discuss the whole problem and the plans of the Capital Transit Co. —_———— | “BIG TEN” ALUMNI PLAN | ROUND-UP FOR NOV. 27 Committee Members Named to Handle Arrangements for Middle West Event.
