CITIZENS 0PPOSE JUDGES MEASURE | Conduit Road Group, How- ever, Favors Principle of Retirement Pay. Although approving the principle of | retirement pay for judges of the Po- | lice, Municipal and Juvenile Courts, | the Conduit Road Citizens' Associa- | tidn last night opposed the present House bill granting retirement pay. Several features were opposed by the hssociation, specifically those granting one-half and one-third pay after 12 and 10 years’ service. As an alterna- tive the association proposed that judges be put on the same system of retirement that governs District and Federal employes and that they con- tribute part of their salary to the re- tirement fund. ‘The proposed K street viaduct as a traffic diversion route through George- town received approval of the group Ellis R. King, chairman of the Streets | and Highway Committee, which in- | " troduced the resolution favoring the | proposal, declared that although it | would cost more than several alterna- tive routes, at the same time it would | be more effective in decreasing con- | gestion and would be more desirable | from a scenic and efficiency point of view. Cloverieaf Traffic Turn. Traffic across the Key Bridge would | be taken care of by a cloverleaf turn, | he said. The transfer of Gallinger Hospital and the Tuberculosis Sanatorium from | the Board of Public Welfare to the | Public Health Service and the transfer of certain playgrounds on, adjacent to or near school property from the Playground Department to the Com- munity Center Department, as pro- vided in the District appropriation bill now before Congress, was approved. Several other features of the appro- priation bill were opposed, however, ‘The association asked that funds for the continuation of the office of peo- Tle's counsel be carried in the bill and that he be supplied with assistants, Water Rate Reduction. It opposed the removal of the 25 per cent water rate reduction and| nsked that water meters be installed 7 homes in Potomac Heights which at present do not have them An increase in gasoline taxes unless funds are needed for construction and repair and diversion of proceeds from this tax was opposed. Several proposed commercial truck- 4ag routes through the association’s £rea were approved with the exception of one along Chain Bridge road and Canal road. It was thought that this route was too narrow and had too | " many turns to be effectively used for such purposes. The association backed a request | made by a citizens’ committee that Federal funds be sought for the relief of District unemployed employables.
