Coasting Stopped.
On Franklin Hill
Account Dangers

The promise Of moro snow and cold
weather afforded pleasing possibilities
to the pupils OF Franklin School. but
the edict went out this morning that
coasting would not be allowed on Frank
lin Hill.
Ever since the accidents of last year
on the hill, the police have forbidden
coasting there. In the past merry sled
loads rode all the way from l. street
to New York avenue. The Thirtieth
street hill in Georgetown also came un-
der the. ban, as the danger OF serious
accident IS too great to allow coasting
there. Coasters used to start from I
street and ride to the car tracks on p
street.
