then was lieutenant colonel OF the goth

PROTEST
/ 2-CENT TRANSFERS
Columbia Heights Citizens
Favor Merger of Local
Street Car Lines.

Owing to Congress being in -ses-
sion. and the District appropriation
! measure now before it containing
clauses which would do away with
the organic act of 1878 (the half-and-
half plan). the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association last night voted to
meet July instead of adjourning un-
til October.
The matter of street car transfers.
telephone rates and other local condi-
tons were instanced as reasons for
not adjourning last night until fall.
The meeting held by the association
last night in ST. Stephens parish hall
was primarily a social one, it being
ladies' night" but that did not keep
the members from growing hot over
the 2-cent transfer proposition. APP
pointment of utilities commission
separate from the Board of Commits
sioners was suggested.
Consider Injunction.
The law committee of the associa-
ton was instructed to investigate the
possibility of obtaining an injunction
or a writ of prohibition against the
giving of transfers for which
charge is exacted. Recommendation
to this effect was contained in re-
port made by w. I. Swanton of the
public utilities committee.
The association adopted the recon-
mendation. together with one recon-
mending that the question of merger
of all local electric lines be pushed
through the Federation of Citizens
Associations and that the law COM
mittee be asked to draw up a bill to
that end for presentation to Congress.
