TRUCK BAN

Under a resolution passed last
night by the Lincoln Park Citizens
Association at Bryan School, the
police and Traffic Bureau Off
cials will be asked to ban all
heavy trucks from Massachusetts,
Avenue Southeast.
The motion was adopted after
members complained that win
dows in some of the homes on
the street we're broken by stones
thrown by the speeding trucks.
Others said vibration loosened
ceilings.
The trucks principally objected
to. it was said, are those used to
haul gravel from the Congress
SiOnal Cemetery to the improve
ments being made on Capitol Hill.
1t was said the trucks endanger
the lives of pedestrians on the
highway, due to the excessive
speed at which they travel.
1t also was planned to ask the
Traffic Bureau to discontinue
Eleventh Street Southeast as a
through street" and remove the
stop signs at Ninth and Tenth
Streets, SO traffic might be di-
Verted to those streets.
The following officers were re-
elected for the ensuing year: Jo-
seph L. Gammel. president; Alfred
D. Calvert, first vice president; T.;
Harry c. Kimball, second vice
president: William A. Carlin, Sec
retary; John P. Kern, financial
secretary, and Frederick Muller,
treasurer. The president and Sec
retary were named delegates to
the Federation of Citizens Associ-
ations.
