B—8 #» Reward for ‘Firebug’ Urged by Citizens of | Kalorama Section Association to Forward Suggestion to Police Department Offering of a reward for the ar- rest and conviction of an arsonist believed to be operating in the Kalorama district and vicinity was asked by the Kalorama Citizens' Association last night. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley made the motion that a letter be directed to Supt. of Police Brown suggesting such a plan to “stop the terrorizing of the neigh- borhood.” Miss Etta L. Taggart introduced a motion that the Senate and House District Committees be asked to in- corporate in their reorganization plans for the District a provision whereby a personal property tax would be assessed against automo- biles only if they were in the Dis- trict on April 1. The motion was tabled after much controversy. A letter was ordered written to the Public Utilities Commission asking for the removal of the safety zone at Columbia road and (Cali- fornia street N.W. in a-motion by Miss Marian White. It was pointed out that two fatal accidents have occurred since the installation of the safety zon€ and it was prac- tically impossible to reach the zone because of the speeding cars. Property covenants in the vicinity of the Henry D. Cooke School were discussed by Francis McLaughlin. The question of more policemen for ‘Washington was considered, but no action was taken. The meeting, presided over by Comdr. Frank Slingluff, was held in the John Quincy Adams School. G.A.R. Memo.rial Day Conference Called James G.

Mr. Creyke reported that he had received commitments from all but 107 households. Each volunteer will be responsible for one bloek. The work must be completed by December 31, 1942. The covenants will bind the owners of property in a territory bounded by Thirty-fifth street, Reservoir road, Thirty-ninth street and Whitehaven parkway N.W. The restrictions imposed, which will be a continuation of those put on the houses by the. builders, will limit the neighborhood to members of the Caucasian race. No houses costing less than $3,000 may be erected, nor may any manufactur- ing plants, liquor storas, garages or livery stables be put up. No one may build beyond the present build- ing line in the section. These pro- visions would be perpetuated for 20 years.
