STREET CAR LOOP
CITED AS HAZARD
Kennedy Street Intersection
Also Scored by Citizens
of Community.

Elimination Of the street car loop
at Colorado avenue and Fourteenth
street and the Strengthening Of the
Kennedy street crossing at Sixteenth
street constitute urgent trafic needs
in the area Of the Sixteenth Street
Highlands Citizens Association, in the
opinion OF j. T. Guilfoyle, chairman
Of the groups Committee on Streets
and Highways.
The Colorado avenue loop, Mr.. Gull
foyle declares, is relic of the days
before traflc became heavy and when
Kennedy street marked the northern
limit OF street car travel
Situation Dangerous.
1.-THE situation there today has be-
come quite dangerous" Guilfoyle de-
clared. Fourteenth street, Colorado
avenue and Kennedy intersect here.
The street car loop crosses Fourteenth
street and extends into Colorado ave-
nue.. Through the center of the loop
runs the single-track car line to Ia
koma Park. To add to the menace
there is a heavy grade down into the
intersection on Colorado avenue"
Mr.. Guilfoyle said that on a number
OF occasions complaints have been made
to District officials. but that no action
has been taken. Request was made for
traffic lights, but because Of the in
tricate character of the intersection
and the loop it was feared any system
of lights would only tend to further
complicate the situation.
I'VE have no disposition to 20 to the
Public Utilities Commission and COM
plain Of nuisance, which it is, Gull
foyle explained. I'VE want to settle
1t in friendly way, but it must be
settled"
Time is Opportune.
Guilfoyle has been assured by Peo-
pies Counsel Richmond B. Keech that
the opportunity for getting action look
ing toward elimination or redesigning
of the loop is better now than at any
time in the past because Of the street
routing Of cars, relaying Of tracks and
other work Of railway improvement.
Within q year at most, Mr.. Keech
informed the Sixteenth Street High
lands Association, the Public Utilities
Commission hopes to be in a position,
as q result Of the merger, TO hold pub
lie hearings on such matters as the
loop which require correction.
The jog in the Kennedy street cross
ing OF Sixteenth street also constitutes
a traffic hazard, 1t was pointed out.
The association has requested imme-
diate installation Of traffic lights at
this corner to relieve the situation and
has asked for Civil Works Admins
tration authorization of labor to
straighten the jog by relocation or
widening Of Morrow drive into Rock
Creek Park In the extension Of Ken
nedy street.

Milk Control
Proposed for District.

THE Piney Branch Citizens As
i sociation right in the midst
Of all this liquor control dis
cussion turns to the question of milk
control. Their proposal is to declare
milk to be a public utility and as
such put it under control of the
Public Utility Commission.
For years the Health Department
has maintained an effective super
vision over the production and
handling of the Districts milk sup
ply. The rigid inspection rules have
been well enforced, with only oc-
casiona1 complaints. This inspection
service has resulted in high stand
ard of quality and purity Of the
milk and improved health conditions.
Now the Piney Branch associa-
ton asks the Commissioners to take
under advisement the question Of
placing this important food supply
under the Utilities Commission or
other regulatory body as means OF
controlling the price of milk as well
as the quality.

NORTH CAPITOL GROUP
ASKS DRY RESTRICTION
Executive Committee Also Dis
approves Proposal FOR City
Manager for Washington.

The Executive Committee OF the
North Capitol Citizens Association,
acting on instructions Of that body,
last week recommended to the District
Commissioners that no liquor, wine or
beer be sold within one mile Of the
Soldiers Home Grounds, and that no
establishment within 200 feet Of q
church or school be permitted to sell
these beverages.
The committee also decided to rec
ommend to the association that at its
next meeting on January "a it go on
record as disapproving the city man
ager plan for the District, as proposed
by local civic body. After an inves-
tigation, it was said, the present form
Of government was believed to be more
suitable.
The Community Center Department
was requested by the Executive Com
mittee to open the Mckinley Technical
High School playground facilities TO
the public after school hours on week
days and on Saturdays. Mrs. r. L.
Bach sponsored the plan.

citation, Is chairman Of the committee

Montgomery County
Civic Federation.

TVIGHL1GHTS In the recent
- meeting of the Montgomery
L i County Civic Federation were
the elimination Of dangerous traffic
hazards throughout the county, some
method of equalization Of the gas tax
between Maryland and the District,
and plans for the publication of the
federation's annual directory.
It was reported that study Of the
possibilities Of retaining the present
equalization of the gas tax disclosed
that the only hope lies in obtaining
modification of the N. r. A. petrol
cum code In its present form the
code will ban absorption of any part
of the tax by gasoline distributors
after February, 1882.
The federation Is appealing to the
Civil Works Administrator for funds
for rectifying the traffic hazards
after the approved program Of public
projects Is completed.
The federation directory and year
book has been published for several
years and is q most formidable and
useful document. It has greatly
facilitated the work Of the federation
and materially increased its prestige.

also to ask that the associations In
nearby Virginia join them IN urging
this Improvement.
It will not be difficult to obtain
such cooperation from the Virginia
bodies on this proposition. for they
have been for it for a long time.
The real hitch has always been
when 1t came to determining Just
who was to pay for the bridge. Dis
trict bodies have usually baked at
footing the bills for what many
have considered more Of a benefit
to Virginia residents than to the
conflict OF interest problems which
the Inter- Federation Conference
was organized to handle The con-
ference might be able to inject a
little mutually into the proposal,
so as to unite all forces for this
Improvement, which has been so
long under discussion.
The Park and Planning Commis-
sion Is expected to shortly report on
the location, after which the Com
mission of Fine Arts will decide on
the type Of bridge.
The Committee on Bridges Of the
Board of Trade is also working
actively on this matter and keep
the progress being made. It would
appear that this Is a project upon
which joint action would be highly
desirable II any real progress Is to
be made.

Anacostia's Junior High
Still in Allegiance.

TINE associations beyond the Ana
costa River continue to agi-
tate the question Of the Junior
high school for that section. There
was q full discussion of the subject
at a recent meeting of the Congress
Heights Association. Budget Bureau
and District officials are being urged
to 60 forward with this badly needed
school There is an insistent de-
mand that the Commissioners ad-
vertise for bids end start construc-
ton at once. These citizens claim
they can see no justification for the
Commissioners holding back when
they have the necessary authori-
zation Of Congress and an appropri-
alton of so per cent of the money
required. They quote the language
of the District appropriation act for
the fiscal year 1888, as follows: For
the erection of a junior high school
for that purpose at Nineteenth street
and Minnesota avenue southeast, in
Anacostia. s225 900. and the Com
into contract or contracts Tor such
building at a cost not to exceed
$3.50 900 = to be Immediately
available and 20 be disbursed and
accounted for as buildings and
grounds. public schools and for
that purpose shall constitute one
fund and remain available until ex-
pended" This act was passed and
this money became available June
20. 1892.
1t is contended that it was clearly
the intent of Congress that this
building be begun, but after the
lapse of all of this time the Com
nissioners ASSUME full responsibility
for this delay by waiting until an
appropriation IS III sight to COM
plete the building. The proponents
claim that the Commissioners are
thus assuming a responsibility which
belongs to the Budget Bureau and
Congress.

to the committees of Congress on all
other matters of local legislation.
Such hearings would, it is believed,
be extremely helpful to the Commis-
sioners and aid them In framing re-
ports behind which the citizens could
line up and back the Commissioners
in their friendly attitude. If many
of the proposed legislative PROPOSE
tions were fought out before the
Commissioners, more intelligent and
more satisfying legislation would be
the result. Preliminary hearings
would develop much valuable infor-
nation in the early stages and result
in better measures In which many
differences would be ironed out, thus
tnsurtng more general support.

New Appropriation Method
Would Be Popular.

THE change Of procedure in
i handling the District appropri-
ations suggested by Representa-
tive Howard w. Smith Of Alexandria
is in line of action taken repeatedly
by many of our civic bodies. This
member of Congress from the metro
politan area proposes that the Leg
islative Committee on the District Of
Columbia and not the Committee on
Appropriations of the House handle
the District bill. The same reasons
obtain for removing the Districts
fiscal affairs from the Bureau of the
Budget.
It is predicted that all Of the civic
bodies will reafrm their often ex-
pressed opinion on this matter and
back up Representative Smith IN
any move he may make to this end.
