to the OmmissiOners-To Spread

The electrician service to Brightwood
and Takoma is the subject of a lengthy
communication submitted TO the District
Commissioners this morning by commit
tees representing the Brightwood Citizens
Association. and the Takoma Park Asso-
citation. The views of the residents of the
suburban sections on the question of
efficient traction service are reflected in
the communication follows:
AS the representatives of the Bright
wood and Takoma Citizens Associa-
tons, and as members of the railroad
committees of said organizations, We beg
to direct your attention to the recent re-
port of the Attorney for the District upon
the subject of a proposed schedule of the
Brightwood Railroad Company.
I'VE have formidably but unsuccess-
fully presented our grievance in this re-
gard to said company more than six
months ago, and beg now to state that
the long continued violation of the man
datory provisions of the charter-that is
the failure on the part of said company
to run its cars as often as the public
convenience may require, but not less fire.
utes from each end of the line between
O'Clock ante-meridian and Il o'clock mid
night'-together with a general irregular
and insufficient service, has operated not
only to the detriment and injury of the
railroad company by causing inadequate
revenue, but to the detriment and injury
of the people who reside, own land, and
pay taxes in this section of the District,
and it is continually retarding the deveI-
opment of our portion of the new and
greater Washington.
THE Commissioners are. no doubt.
aware of the hearings and communications
to which the citizens have beenunnecessa-
rily subjected by reason of the unsatis-
factory and inadequate service, as well as
the continued and persistent violation of
the plain and mandatory terms of the
charter, which Congres SIS has prescribed
for the benefit and protection of the peo-
pie. Much of this has appeared in the
public press. Certainly. now at this late
gal conduct on the part of the railroad
company, we are entitled to some redress
at your hands, and we respectfully ask
that you will decline to approve the half
hour schedule submitted by said railroad
company. anG also, that you VIII do all In
your power to require said company to
provide an equipment and comply with
schedule which will afford a continued
and certain service upon which the trav
cling public can rely and In accordance
with the rovisions of said mandatory act
of Congress"
