OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
Residents Assured That I'M
provement Will Be Likely
After July /.

With the assurance from Engineer
Commissioner Harding that Four
teenth street would be considered for
lighting facilities just as soon as the
appropriation was available. at the
beginning Of the fiscal year. members
of the Columbia Heights Citizens AS
scciation are today expressing COM
plete satisfaction at the encourage
ment
In response to the demand for bet
ter lighting on Fourteenth street,
from Florida avenue to Spring road.
by residents from that section. Com
missioner Harding announced that 1t
probably would be within the power
Of the District authorities to provide
a better system after July 1, when it
will be possible to utilize funds for
that purpose.
1t was explained that limited funds
hampered the activities of tho District
department, but that because Of the
urgent and unanimous request, it
might be possible to shift the appro-
priation at the beginning of the new
fiscal year.
A personal investigation of the
present lighting system along the
thoroughfare by the Engineer Com
missioner brings out the intimation
that the Commissioners will include
in their estimates for the next fiscal
year an item for better lights.
William H. Saunders, president OF the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association,
declares business men as well as resi-
dents are interested in improved light
ing condition. Several accidents have
occurred, some Of which have resulted
fatally, according to the president, have
been attributed to the faulty lighting
sysem now in operation.
The cost OF maintenance, according to
Walter c. Allen, electrical engineer Of
the District for a new system would
be practically the same as the old one.
Only 81 900 is needed for the cost Of
improvements for the proposed system.
according to an estimate made the Com
missioners.
Members of the association whose ef-
forts in circulating petitions brought
forth the assurance Of help from Com
missioner Harding are Clinton Hiatt,
