SAFER COMMUNITY
IS CAMPAIGN AIM
Sixteenth Street Heights to
Make Survey and Ask
Better Lighting.

A campaign to provide greater safe
Sy for the community was launched
by the Sixteenth Street Heights Citi-
SenS' Association at a meeting last
night in Northminster Chapel, Alaska
avenue and Kalmia road when it was
of the Fire, Police and Lights Com
nittee, to make a survey of the section
and request the Commissioners to pro-
vide adequate lighting facilities. 1t was
reported that street lamps already had
been placed in several neighborhoodS,
but attention will be directed to other
localities where lights are needed.
The association voted an appropria-
ton of $50 toward expenses of a group
of residents of the community in fight
ing erection of stores in what property
owners, 1t was said, were led to believe
would not be Zoned other than resi-
Dental. 1t was declared that the stores,
located on a triangular lot ON Alaska
avenue near Kallnia road, had been
erected without regard to zining regula-
Sons and had been ordered removed by
court order. This order, 1t was said
has been diSregarded and an effort Is
to be made to have the persons in
terested cited for contempt.
Protection Need Stressed.
Need for fire protection in the area
again was stressed in remarks by the
president, Joseph H. Wilson, who said
the association would continue its en-
deavors TO have provided the protection

most of the homes detached and a
number of frame construction, he said,
warranted greater security from disas-
ter than having to depend on the

which is several miles distant.

be confronted with many intri-
cate cases in which taxpayers
seek the protection Of the Fed
eral Constitution against the

Among the more important Of
nearly 80 cases involving state
taxes are the Indiana Chain
Store Case" and the claim Of
Ohio to the right to tax natural
gas imported into the state.
The Indiana case is being eag-

tacks on chain stores have been
made.
The law, which grades taxation
according to the number Of stores
operated, is before the court on
the appeal of the state board OF
tax commissioners.
A Federal District Court held
the law invalid because it adopts
an arbitrary classification.
