B—2 » INSPECTONASKE O STREET CARS Trinidad Citizens Question Fitness in “Letter to Utilities Body. A closer inspection of all of the rolling stock of the Capital Transit Co. by the Public Utilities Commission to determine the fitness of the street cars for public use was urged last night by the Trinidad Citizens’ Association 8t & meeting held in the Wheatley School, President George J. Cleary said since more than a score of persons were injured following & fire in one of the obsolete street cars several weeks ago the engineers of the Public Utilities Commission should inspect all of the equipment being used to transport the public. Two other fires have occurred since this time, Cleary continued, but luckily no one was hurt either time. Car Fire in Southeast. One of the street car fires occurred vesterday at Seventeenth and Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast after the car had discharged passengers, Cleary said. In the letter to the Public Utilities Commussion the citizens pointed ous that a number of the obsolete and “junk” cars are now on the H street line. Although some of them are placed on a siding near Fifteenth and H streets northeast, apparently to re- move them from service, they are pressed into service on some occasions. Double Parking Protested, In a letter to the commander of the ninth police precinct the group asked that the regulation compelling trucks loading and unloading to use the designated spots be enforced. It was said that the operators of the trucks park double in the northeast while making deliveries when an unloading vone is but several feet away. Enactment of the proposed bill of Representative Sacks, now pending in Congress, providing for daylight-saving time was urged. An appropriation of $200,000 to enlarge the boiler shop at the Washington Navy Yard to permit more ordnance work to be carried on here will be sought by the organiza- tion.

GEORGETOWN HITS GAS TAXINCREASE Ctizens Also Oppose Diver- sion Into General Fund of District. Opposition to proposed increase or diversion of gasoline taxes into the District's general fund was expressed last night by the Georgetown Citizens’ Association meeting in 8t, John's Church Parish Hall., This action was taken on motion of Prank P. Leetch, chairman Executive Committee, who also incorporated op- position to proposed increase on motor vehicle taxes in the resolution. He pointed out such taxes “were originally imposed upon the theory that the use of motor vehicles was a luxury and limited to that class of citizen able to purchase and maintain motor vehicles WRINGER... ...

Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, director of highways, explained the proposed K street by-pass. ‘The project is con- templated, he sald, to relieve George- town, particularly M street, of heavy traffic. It would consist of an ele- vated highway connecting with Key Bridge, extending over K street and crossing over Beach drive in Rock Creek Park. The District Commissioners are con- sidering the plan at this time and it would in no way interfere with the necessity of completing the ‘“Hazen plan” of extending Olive street to re- lieve part of M atreet traffic by way of Prospect avenue. Cost of the by- TUESDAY, 'APRIL 27, 19317. pess is estimated at this time to be about $1,400,000, he declared. Leetch, reporting for Dr. B. H. Meyer, chairman Parks and Reserva- tions Committee, criticized the pro- posed rider to the District appropria- tion bill for 1938, which would trans- fer control of about 20 public play- grounds near public schools from the Playground Department to the Com- munity Center Department of the pub- lic schools. He said that two persons who were not authorized representa- tives of either the Playground Depart- ment or the Community Center ap- peared before Congress with appeals for the change which he felt was not the desire of local citizens. Resolution Adopted. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Parks and Reservations Committee and the Executive Committee to take appropriate action before the meeting next month. - On motion of Ernest I Lewis the Legislative Committee was directed to consider pending tax measures in Con- gress which it is believed will raise more than are actually needed to meet the estimated deficit for the fiscal year 1938. The activities of the Goodwill Indus- tries, Inc, were approved in another measure. President John H. Small presided. Lad Mills was admitted to membership. R = House Built in One Day.
