MID CITIZENS
ARGUE AGAINST
THE 'SK|PSTOP'
Ask Abolition OF System on
Street Railways as un-
necessary Now.

Abolition Of the "skip-stop" sys-
tenn by street railways and the
adoption Of the system Of stopping
at every block, was recommended
at a meeting OF tho Mid-City Citi-
zens Association which met for the
first time at tho Thomson School
last night after the summer ud'
journment.
II was argued that the present
system was adopted to- facilitate
the dispatch OF street cars and
relieve the congested condition, re-
sulting from the abnormal crowds
during the war, and as the city was
now at It's normal condition, that
the public should enjoy the priv
ileges allowed heretofore. A sug-
sestion was also made that all cars
should stop at the near side of a
street crossing, rather than at the
far side.
Copies OF this resolution will he
sent to the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, to the Public Utilities
Commission, as well as both street
railways.
The unveiling exercises at the Ed
mund Burke statue at Eleventh
street and Massachusetts avenue
October IL will be aided by the MID,
city Citizens Association. both by
children from the schools in that
neighborhood and by the women OF
the association, who expect to deco.
rate the nearby houses with British
and American flags. Letters OF ap'
probation were sent to President
Harding and the Secretary OF War
for the selection OF the site.
The following made application for
membership and we're accepted, each
giving a short talk: Nicholas Laven.
