Sue? I'll have some rooms made up

TRANSFER LAW
Randle Heights Citizens Act
on Many Matters.

Many matters of public interest were
transacted at the meeting OF the Randle
Heights Citizens Association last night.
Universal transfers were indorsed, and it
was reported that efforts were being
made to secure relief from the excessive
charges of the baggage transfer and ex-
press companies.
resolution indorsing the East Wash
ington Railway construction from Good
Hope road and Nichols avenue, to the
District line, by way of Suitland and
Bowen roads, was passed. Announce
ment was made that 1000 feet of water
main would be laid along Naylor road. 7
street, and Twenty-ffth street. The ne
cessity for a shelter for passengers at
the terminus of the Capital Traction Com
pany's line, at the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge, was discussed, but nothing was
done because both the District Commits
sioners and the officer in charge OF public
buildings and grounds disclaimed juris-
diction.
1t was stated that Col. A. E. Randle
had donated three acres of ground for
school site in the Randle Highlands sec
