around the four trees which crown the
knoll Thus the players will have a

GARAGES PROTEST EMBARGO.
Claim Right to Establish Themselves
in Residential Sections.

Because of an attempt to make it
easier to establish public garages in resi-
Dental or semi-residential neighborhoods,
there will be a hearing on this matter
before the Commissioners at 10 o'clock
Friday, June II.
The Commissioners are anxious to hear
both sides Of the question. AS the regu-
lations stand now it requires 70 per cent
of the consent of the property owners
within 200 feet Of the proposed garage.
1t is suggested to the Commissioners by
firm of garage men that this regulation
is too strict and that 1t should be reduced
to 81 per cent. 1t is also suggested to
the Commissioners that once building
is used for business purposes it can be
continued to be used for any other bust
ness purpose at all, without getting con-
sent from neighboring property owners
or residents.
For instance, if building is used for a
laundry the men who are after less
stringent regulations believe it could be
turned into a. garage without further
gathering of consents

the District electric railway commission

the car and smoked. On the return trip
1t is alleged. while proceeding at recK-
less speed the car jumped the track at a
point near Linden, on the 7th street road.

that cars shall stop at the pension office
entrance on G street and if the patron
age warrants increased service between
Chevy Chase and this city after o'clock
