criticised the action of residents of
Georgetown in opposing a through car
schedule from Tenleytown to the Union

Residents of Georgetown" said Mr.
Stone, have through car service to the
downtown section. and it is hard to see
why they oppose similar service for
persons living farther out Wisconsin
avenue. The transfers at o street or
at NJ street are announcement, besides
which. at the latter point, an extra fare
is required. Georgetown residents could
not be Inconvenience by the establish
ment of through. car service from
Tenleytown or the District line, while
residents of that territory would be
benefited. Opposition to the plan in
Georgetown is difficult to understand"
At the meeting, which was the last OF
the year, a committee was named to
select a list of candidates to be voted
on at the first meeting to be held next
fall. Following the business session
the members listened to an interesting
address by ]. Holdsworth Gordon
