WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ANACOSTIA. D. c., MAY 2.

The Public Improvement Association
OF Congress Heights will meet tonight
in the town hall, in Alabama avenue.
and the principal topic to be discussed
by the citizens is that affecting the ex-
tension OF the through street car serv-
Ice by the laying of a double track be-
tween Anacostia and Congress Heights.
This project has been seriously endan-
gered within the past few weeks by the
announcement that the Anacostia Citi-
zens' Association has demanded of the
District Commissioners that the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
be directed to place its overhead trolley
wires underground along Nichols ave-
nue., Anacostia, from the southern en-
trance to the new bridge southwark to
Talburtt street, the present transfer
station
General Harries has told the citizens
of Anacostia that to do this latter work
at this time will result in his company
holding up the work of double-tracking
the Congress Heights branch, and Will
thereby prevent the residents of the
Heights from securing through car
service to and from the city. The atti-
tude of the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton is that, as the fill at the new bridge
is now sufficiently settled, the railroad
company, as provided for by Congress
in this contingency. should be compelled
to remove its overhead wires and have
them installed underground.
The Commissioners, it has been
learned, are having an investigation
made, with a view of determining just
what the condition of the fill at the
Anacostia bridge is az this time.
Members of the Masonic fraternity in
Anacostia were present in large num-
bers last night in the Anacostia Ma
sonic Hall, when the second degree was
