regular college courses. to be free
public institution, was the recon-
mendation advanced by DR.. T. T.
Read. chairman of the committee on
education of the Manor Park Citizens
Association, at a meeting of that body
last night. Free college education in
the District is lacking. DR.. Read
said, whereas a number of the West
ern States have this advantage. The
Commissioners will be urged to set
aside as a site for such building and
also for the erection of a northern
high school, as recommended by the
association, the land now occupied by
the old Sixteenth street reservoir,
which, 1t was said. will soon be aban-
doned.
The proposed measure of Represent
atlVe GaSque providing for the direct
election by popular vote of citizens
of members of the Board Of Educa-
ton was discussed and referred to
the committee on education for fur
ther investigation. 1t was the sense
of the meeting that such action was
to be desired, but there was doubt as
TO the eligibility of voters in the
States resident here retaining their
State rights if they choose to vote for
members of the Board of Education
here.
Approval was given to traffic regu-
lations affecting the pedestrian, but
the recommendation was made that
pedestrian traffic should be regulated
TO afford greater protection. Indorse-
ment was given to the bus line oper-
ating on Thirteenth street from Penn
sylyania avenue to Kennedy street,
because of the relief afforded in re-
moving the congestion on the Takoma
line of the Capital Traction Co. The
