CITIZENS OPPOSE
CAR ARE INCREASE
Northeast Washington Group
Asks Continuation of N. Y.
Ave. to Bladensburg Road.

Strong objection to an increase in
car fare in the District was voiced last
night in a resolution passed by the
Northeast Washington Citizens As
ISOLATION meeting at the Ludlow School,
Sixth and @ streets northeast. The
citizens declared that the valuation
claimed by the street car companies
is unjust and stated that a s per cent
return was an ample and fair valuation
A second resolution urging that
traffic conditions on Bladensburg road
be improved so as to relieve the usual
congestion was passed by the aSsocia-
ton. The citizens suggest In the reso-
luton, which will be forwarded to the
appropriations committees of both the
Senate and the House, the improve
ment of New York avenue northeast
from Florida avenue to u street and
from that point through to Bladens-
burg road. This would allow much of
the traffic to be diverted at that point,
the citizens point out.
Regret that Oscar H. Brinkman,
assistant to the Senate District COM
mittee, has retired from service was
expressed in a resolution passed by
the association. The citizens COM
mended Brinkman for the assistance
he rendered in promoting beneficial
legislation for the District. Hearty
takings was extended to him by the
association,
