New Britain has found it possible 10 get along without out side political interference. No long experience in public life should be required to impress on Mr. BlodGett, after the results of the last city election had been made known, that his advice on purely local mat i ters was not desired.
 "But such has not been the case with Mr. BIodsett. He now writes that should not have sought tn" office of mayor if did not want to sign tax warrants pay taxes and 1 sec to it that others pay taxes. , Quite correct, but l have not de- clin"d 10 do my part in any Of ! these respects.
 with reference to whether or not any man should seek public ot- ! flee. l believe Mr. Blodgett will i agree with mo that this is qucs- | ton for the public, not the office seeking individual 10 answer. As suming that he will agree with me . that this is a fair proposition. l now ask him to consider this fact; | In New Britain, a municipality with a ratio ot about three registered lepubl cans 10 each democrat,

 "rhere is at least one statement in Mr. Blodgetts letter with which no one may disagree. IL reads:

 "What concentration of the mental faculties must hay" been re- uuircd to reach this conclusion.
 "What massive intellect must hay" bccn needed to determine this panh- cca for tax ills-this answer to the uucstton of mounting governmental costs,

CITIZENS PROTEST
ORDER FOR REZONING
Dupont Circle Association Objects
to Proposed Changes in Streets
Near Connecticut Avenue.

Opposition to the proposed rezoning
of streets near Connecticut avenue for
business houses was expressed by the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association at
a meeting held yesterday at the May
flower Hotel.
One of the important functions of
the association, it was said, is to pre-
serve the old residential section as long
as possible. and under the proposed re-
coming, especially on Twentieth, between
r and S streets, the preservation is
impossible, it was said. According to a
report Washington has more property
zoned for commercial purposes than
any other city. in proportion.
Progress in the construction work on
the West End Market was reported. 1t
was said that although many bids to
complete the work had been asked and
received there we're others that must
be submitted before the work could be
completed. Senator Arthur Capper,
chairman of the House District commit
tee has been requested, 1t was said, to
lend assistance in securing prompt
action from the Commissioners in order
that the construction may be finished.
Parking conditions were termed dis
graceful and deplorable." The use of
streets to park automobiles for long
periods should be remedied at once, it
was said. The appointment of COM
mittee to investigate methods used by
other cities in coping with the situation
was urged, in unanimously adopted
resolution.
The meeting yesterday is the last to
be held by the association until
october.
