lists TO PLAN ACTION.

Trade and Chamber of Commerce. 1t Is

to have the several citizens associations
take hand in the matter in the interest
of a very considerable portion of the
Districts population.
Gen. George III. Harries. first vice presi-
dent and acting president of the Board
of Trade. said today he had not received
any communication on the subject from
the machinstS' organization.
A member of the board said that If the
matter is to be given consideration II
cannot be done before the next meeting
of the Board of Trade, which will be held
early in December.
The threatened discharges will be given
cOnsiderat ton at a meeting of the eXecu-

ton Appoints Committee of Three.


At a meeting of the Congress Heights
Citizens Association held last evening in
the town hall. on Alabama avenue, Sec
rotary 0. A. Emmons read a letter from
Wilton j. Lambert the chairman Of the
committee of the Brightwood Citizens
Association that is considering the quea
ton of change in the form of govern
ment in the District and qualified suf-
frage, requesting the association to ap-
point a committee to discuss these mat
ters with similar committees from the
other citizens associations of the Dis
trict The association voted to appoint a
committee to take up the matter with
the other committees referred to. and Vic
tor J. Boyer, the first vice president who
was the presiding officer, named Frank
E. Butterfield. o. A. Emmons and Will
liam Stivers as the committee.
Secretary Emmons, who was previously
delegated to cooperate with the Ana
costa Citizens Association in the pro-
posed celebration on the opening OF the
new Anacostia bridge. reported that the
association in Anacostia has taken no
steps in this direction as yet and that
probably nothing will be. done until
spring. Mr.. Boyer. in speaking on the
new bridge. referred to the danger eX-
listing at the intersection Of Good Hope
road and Nichols avenue caused by troll
ley cars, which enter and leave the new
bridge by that route. not stacking their
speed while going down the approach.
Mr.. Boyer pointed out that it is not posi-
BILE for teams going west ON Good Hope
road to see the cars, owing to interveR-
ing buildings. and he predicted some ac-
cident unless flagman is stationed there
or the cars are made to stop before cross
ing the road. On motion of Francis Wah-
Ter it was decided to refer the situation
to the District Commissioners.
Secretary EmmOns spoke on the Con-
gress Heights street car service. which
he stated was very good. but he pro-
nounced the cars to be insanitary, old
and dilapidated. Such cars should be
taken off, the speaker declared, and as
the railway company has failed to heed
the requests of the citizens he favored
reporting the matter to the Washington
railway commission, which. after Mr..
Boyer had spoken, 1t was voted to 90.
The secretary read a letter from the
Commissioners to the effect that the lack
of funds will prevent the installation of
electric lights along School street. Mr..
Boyer reported that the District is caus-
ing many streets to be improved in the
suburb. The progress of work on the
Congress Heights sewer was referred to
and was declared to be satisfactory An
nouncement was made that the annual
election of officers will take place Mon
day evening next at a meeting in the
town hall.

ASK FOR FIRE ENGINE.
Takoma Park Citizens Urge Need on
Commissioner Macfarland

A number of prominent residents of Ia
koma Park talked to Commissioner Mac
farland yesterday and asked him to
allow the chemical engine which has been
stationed at Brightwood to be taken to
Takoma Park. The delegation was led
by President A. P. Wood of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association, who pointed
out that an engine is badly needed in the
section. He also said that if the engine
had been in Takoma Park before the re-
cent fire which destroyed the Bliss Elec-
trieal School 1t would have been of great
service and the blaze might have been
checked before the building was entirely
consumed.
Commissioner Mcfarland told the dele
cation that the matter would receive the
attention of the Commissioners. 1t is be-
lieved that the Takoma residents will be
allowed the engine within a short time.
