PROTEST POOL

Anacostia citizens, through their
civic associations and churches, to-
day strongly protested to Major
U. s. Grant, In charge of Public
Buildings and Public Parks, against
the selection of Section c, Anacostia
Park, for the site of the municipal
bathing beach for colored citizens
of Washington.
Most of Major Grants time today
was taken up with hearing protests
by the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton membership, the Randall High
lands Citizens Association and rep
resentatives of Anacostia churches.
The objections were chiefly based
on the grounds that the street car
service to Anacostia is already over
crowded and the location OF the
bathing pool in that section would
further complicate the situation.
= The colored bathing pool is to be
erected under the Zihlman bill
signed by the President a few days
ago, authorizing the construction
OF two bathing pools, one for white
and the other for colored citizens,
at a total cost of $345,O00. No
money has been appropriated as
yet.
Major Grant took the protest un.
der advlsement but pointed out to
his callers that suitable location
for the pool is difficult to find be-
cause OF the restriction that 1t
must be built on public-owned land.

BLUE HILLS SEEKS
 FIRE PROTECTION No Agency Now at Hand to
 Combat Flames RESIDENTS PAY FOR IT
Tabs Fife and Drum Corps Elects Officers Tournament To Resume Play This Evening Other Items of Interest.

In connection with the recent fire in Blue Hills during which the Mo lumphy homestead was burned to the foundations with considerable loss to the owners, residents of that section of the town are making in vestigations as to what can be done to relieve the situation that con- fronts the Blue Hillians who arc far removed from any possible water source and hampered by roads trucks.
 Although no actual blame has been placed nor is it likely that any body will be approached with an ap- peal for relief in the near future, Blue Hills residents are surveying the situation in an effort to arrive at some solution to the problem. With the rest of, the town being served by New Britain's fire appa- ratus, Blue Hills alone Is inacces-
 
 fire combating. Blue Hills taxes residents claim. include fire protection fees that are levied on each resident for the sup port of the s1,000 guarantee given New Britain for it's service to the town. How this is fair when the trucks are unable to serve that section, cannot be realized by the Blue Hillians.
 The New Britain fire department, when notified of the blaze on Peach Tree Lane, stated that 1t would be unable to render assistance because of the long journey to the scene and the lack of water. AS the town is charged by the hour for New Britain's services, such trip by the fire department would be expensive and useless and was cancelled.
 The fire threatened surrounding homes in that section which were unprotected from flying sparks. For tunately the fire was accompanied by light rain that kept the sparks from catching on adjacent roofs and this fact with the lack of wind saved other building in the vicinity from danger. Insurance on Blue Hills homes is hard to place because of the high premiums levied on dwell- ings in the neighborhood, 1t is said. Blue Hills home owners, therefore. are cast more or less at the mercy of fortune, they state.
 The whole situation points to- wards the need of fire apparatus in this town. residents aver. In spite of difficulties which would attend Blue Hills fire. a local company could respond to the call in time to check the blaze before 1t had gained sufficient headway as to make the case hopeless. as was the case last week.
