FREE RIDES FOR POLICE
AND FIREMEN INDORSED
Brightwood Park Citizens Associa.
tion Also Discusses "True Con-
sideration" Bill.

The Brightwood Park Citizens Asso-
citation went on record last night in
favor of permitting police and firemen
to ride on street cars free of cost when
going to or from their posts of duty The
secretary of the association was in
structed to acquaint the Federation of
Citizens Associations with the action of
the organization
The so-called true consideration bill,
passed several days ago by the House,
was discussed at length by members of
the association. but no action was taken
on the matter. Several members were
in favor of law providing that an
affidavit setting forth the true considera-
ton should be filed with the assessor of
taxes whenever deed is placed on rec
ord. They were opposed to the stating
of the true consideration in the deed
The association voted to ask the police
authorities to detail an officer to guard
a deep pool of water. which has formed
in low piece of ground north of Ken
nedy street and east of Georgia avenue.
The pool is said to be six or eight feet
deep in places. Members of the associa-
ton said there is danger of children
being drowned in it. The pool was formed
by an accumulation of surface water, it
was stated, and unless it is drained be-
fore spring il will become a menace to
health. The matter is to be reported to
the engineer and health departments of
the District government.

signed TO look after the general in
terests of the order within it's district,

lence. 1t will have its regular officers
and VIII hold an annual reunion, thus
obviating the necessity of the big CEN
trail conventions and reunions that have
heretofore been held in various parts
of the country. which many of the mem
bers of the order have found it impos-
sible to attend either because of the
expense or the time required in travel
ing long distances to reach them
The idea is said to have originated
with the Baltimore Lodge, and the ac-
ton of Washington lodge brings
matters to focus. the Maryland and
Delaware lodges having already agreed
to the proposition.

is that following this action the county
can issue a series af longterm bonds,

fire protection is seriously impaired be-
cause of dry wells. and disease is feared
because of the contamination of the dug
