WANT CROSS-TOWN
STREET CARL|NE
East Washington Citizens for
Route From Southeast to
Southwest.
GET BRANCH POST OFFICE

Members Of East Washington Citi-
sens Association, at . meeting held
last night in East Washington Hall,
voted to urge the Public Utilities Com
mission to order the Capital Traction
Company to construct q cross-tovn
line from 9Th and NJ streets southeast
to 7th and N streets southwest.
Such line Is imperat.vely needed
at this time" said DR.. Charles N En-
mons. president OF the association.
"for the accommodation of navy yard
workers. The yard now extends from
11th to 4th streets, and II is q leng
distance from the 9Th street gate to
the nearest car line"
Once Had Horse-Car Line.
DR.. Enmons explained that there
was a horse car line on u street
that thoroughfare at this time, he
said. would go far toward relieving
the congestion on Pennsylvania ave-
nue Not only would il accommodate
navy yard workers, he said, but II
would be q short route to the river
front for residents OF tho entire east
ern section.
The association reanIrmed its stand
on the question OF suffrage for the
District, President Emmons saying
the association always had favored
suffrage. He suggested that a poll Of
Congress be taken by a committee
representing the various civic organi-
cations In the city. Following the poll
he sad he thought mass meetings held
in the districts OF those opposed to
giving people Of the District the right
OF franchise might be the means OF
changing many votes.
Mr.. CuYriden presented . resolution
depioring the death OF Capt William
n Potter, vice president and former
president OF the association, who died
several weeks ago.
A resolution ordered spread upon
the minutes Of the association con-
tanned eulogies by President Emmons
and s. W. Curr!den.
Post odice Is Surprise.
While DR.. Emmons, Mr.. Curriden
and John P. Crosse were discussing the
question Of establishment OF a branch
post Office in the southeast section,
Clarence F. Donohoe came forward
with the surprising statement that ar
rangements for the accommodation Of
residents Of East Washington already
had been made. The station IL TO be on
the premises Of George r. Gill, $40
Pennsylvania avenue southeast, he said,
and Ill be open from 8 am. to pm.
John P. Grose complained OF She
miserable condition Of 18th street
southeast, where, he stated. steam
railroad was constructed during the
war. Ashes are piled four feet deep
on the sidewalk, he said, and in woS
weather conditions are miserable
