CONNECTICUT AVENUE
IMPROVEMENTS
The Citizens of That Section Within Their
Rights in Demanding Removal of
Unsightly, Dangerous Trolley
Poles
BY BILL PRICE.

THE Connecticut Avenue ana
Cleveland Park Citizens
Associations have unani-
mously passed resolutions ask
ing the removal Of the unsightly
and dangerous trolley poles on
Connecticut avenue a. far out as
Chevy Chase circle. The plea Of
these civic organizations IL sup
plemented by the practically
unanimous sentiment Of that
portion of the District.
The Engineer Commissioners has
indicated to citizens calling upon
him that the question Of improv-
ing the street car track space Of
the Capital Traction Company.
along this noted avenue. has been
deferred pending decision by the
Public Utilities Commission a. to
the removal Of these poles.
There has long been severe crit
icism Of the conditions In Connec-
ticut avenue. especially in that
portion presumed to be kept In
good condition by the street car
company. When the subject Of
the removal of the center poles
first came up the Capital Traction
Company opposed anything like
extension of its underground sys-
tenn from the east end Of the
Calvert street bridge to Chevy
Chase Circle-first, on account Of
the cost of the work. and second.
owing to the remote possibility
that a new bridge will some day
be built across Rock Creek at Cal
vert street. which would involve
reconstruction OF the underground
across q new bridge.
The Capital Traction Company
has indicated its willingness to
shift the trolley poles to the sides
of the avenue, II is stated, but
still objects to underground con-
struction.
Side trolley poles would elimi-
nate some Of the dangers that
have been complained Of. but
would not remove the unsightli-
ness. There can be no question
that this avenue will soon become
thickly settled all the way to
Chevy Chase circle. 1t IL already

squares beyond the western end

construction for the street raj

tho suggestion Of IN official OF

that this cost nj. hit result In In

riders might have to pay upon
the expenditure Of an under

The Public Utilities Commits

1t cannot, without further COM
plicating the mixed UP street car
situation in the District, order
different fares upon the two com
peting lines.
II the Capital Traction Com
pany should spend 100000 or
$500.000 or 100000 in an un-
derground system on Connecticut
avenue during the coming year
there would be no occasion 10
