TAKOMA PROPERTY
OWNERS TO PROTEST
Mayor Orders Hearing on Plan
to Charge Street Work to
Taxpayers.

In spite of petitions In opposition to
tho plan from 81 PER cent OF the property
owners affected. the mayor and council
Of Takoma Park, Md, last night ordered
a hearing upon tho proposition Of i'm
proving streets entirely at the expense
Of abutting property owners in accord
ance with a. recent ordinance adopted
by the council.
The plan is an echo of the Borland
amendment which was applied to the
streets In the District. The council set
March 20 as the date Of the hearing.
The petitions were transmitted to the
council by a. committee composed Of j.
baum.
The percentage of streets In opposition
70 the new method was as follows:
Tsson,a Tssstnat ayenue. 81 Holly avenue, 60;
ss; Maple avenue. co; Willow avenue
6dS; Columbia avenue. 424; Tulip ave-
nue., 1.2; Oak avenue. S.S.
There was decided sentiment at the
of the ordinance ordering the improve
ments to be made at the cost of abr,-
ting property. but Counclmen +. l..
Lewton and l.. r. Grabill insisted that
the hearing provided for by the town
charter should be held, and the council
ordered the hearing by a unanimous
vote. Councilman Z. 8. La Fetra being
absent.

Irovemcnts be made in accordance With

that the hearing is entirely unnecessary
owing to the fact that the public senti-
ment is already known, and there Is
certain 10 be overwhelming opposition
to the new plan evidenced at the hear
ing.
+. B. Linton, one of the committee of
property-owners which transmitted the
petition said this morning: "A large
proportion Of the people Of the park
have expressed themselves In favor Of
a different plan of financing street i'm
provements. 1t seems unnecessary, there
fore, to hold another hearing. How
ever, If the council desires such a hear
ing the people will present their views
again In no uncertain terms
The hearing will involve considerable
expense on the town in view of the
fact that the bailff must serve notice
on all property-owners affected. and
make returns Of such service. In any
event a hot fieht Is being predicted by
the property-owners who are opposing
