SETTLEMENT SOUGHT
IN BOUNDARY FIGHT
Takoma.S Sixteenth Street Heights
Conflict Arises Over East Side
of Georgia Avenue.

A dispute over a boundary line has
arisen between the Citizens Associa-
ton of Takoma, D. c.. and the Six
teenth Street Heights Citizens As
sociation, 1t was revealed last week.
The area concerned, President
group, is the east side of Georgia
avenue in that section, each asso-
citation contending the disputed area
lies within its territory. The Takoma
group claims the area as its western
boundary, while the Sixteenth street
unit claims its eastern boundary in
cludes both sides Of Georgia avenue.
Hope for an early settlement of
the dispute was expressed by Love-
less and Special Committee, headed
by Milton Dunn, was appointed to
confer with members Of the Takoma
group at the latter's next meeting, on
January z.
While pointing out he is willing to
compromise II necessary, Loveless in
structed his committee to call to the
attention of the other group the fact
that the Sixteenth Street Associa-
ton was organized before the Ia
koma unit.
He further instructed the commit
tee that If no agreement could be
reached q thorough canvass be made
in the disputed area to secure the
views Of all residents affected.

SCHOOL HEATING
STILL UNDER FIRE
Northeast Head, Pleased
With Blair Results, Seeks
More improvements.

Encouraged by the results of the
recent action of the association and
the Blair Hayes Parent-T Teacher As
sociation in demanding an investiga-
ton of the heating plant of the Blair
School, Evan H. Tucker, veteran pres
ident Of the Northeast Citizens As
sociation now plans to carry on this
fight for other schools in northeast.
At a recent meeting of the group,
Mr.. Tucker reported for the Execu-
tive Committee, pointing out that
most all the heating units in the
schools in the northeast quarter are
of antiquated design.
MANY of these units are Of the hot
air type and some are as old as IS
years." he said. There has, for long
time, been complaints from parents
of the dangers of gas and SCOT escap-
ing from these old units, Tucker re-
vealed.
"As a result of our action on the
Blair School," he said, Officials have
found that our complaints were fully
justified" adding that while the
Blair School was the most outstand-
ing example Of defective units, others
are almost as bad
At the meeting, members voted ap-
proval of the Commissioners request
for an s150,000 appropriation for re-
placement of obsolete heating plants
in public schools.
Another measure adopted provided
for the immediate investigation of the
Edwards School unit, with a view OF
making temporary repairs until
Spring, at which time complete re-
placement Is requested.

The Traffic Problem
Takes First Place.

GONE months ago there was hope
y that the District would make
fine record for safety on
our streets with q corresponding
reduction in fatalities. The Voice
of Safety" police car and other
means of encouraging care in driv-
ing were launched in the belief
that much good would result.
Surely these efforts must have
helped to a degree, but the Dis
trict government and the promoters
of the safety campaign are con-
fronted with the appalling fact
that the number of fatal traf1ic
accidents for the year 1884 have so
far broken all previous records.
Various causes for these acci-
dents are given, but there appears
TO be a great difference Of opinion
on the subject. The Commission
ers have taken the matter in hand
with the intention to introduce
drastic measures for protection Of
life and limb. In this movement
the Commissioners are backed by
the civic organizations though
there appears to be a wide diver
gence of opinion as to what should
be done.
The 11-point program agreed
upon at a meeting of District ON
cials, of course, will not suit all of
the organizations or individual
citizens, but is considered as de-
serving Of a fair trial, including
rigid enforcement against all users
of the District highways, regardless
of influence or official position.
Some years ago when the District
had q safety council a rather in
teresting bit Of information was
developed at a meeting of the
board of directors. There was pres
ent at that meeting the late Daniel
Sullivan, then major and superin-
tendent Of metropolitan police,
and also Inspector Albert j. Head
ley, then head Of the Police Traf-
fic Bureau. In the course of the
discussion of traffic rules and their
enforcement, a director asked the
question, "What is the chief diff
Guilty of the police in enforcing the
regulations?" To this question
Maj. Sullivan and Inspector Head
ley, almost in the same breath and
in almost identical language, re-
piled: THE large privileged class
in Washington
In the discussion which followed
there was given an extensive CATO
logue Of these privileged ones and
the numerous ways in which their
acts interfered with an impartial
enforcement. It would seem that
following the putting into effect
Of the proposed drastic regulations,
the entire matter Of the safety Of
our streets might well be made the
subject Of study by a competent
body of citizens, free from motor
vehicle and other entangling alh-
ances.

SOUTHWEST INTENDS
TO FORM BOYS CLUB
$500 in Association Treasury,
but No Suitable Quarters
Can Be Found.

With a view to preventing Juvenile
delinquency in the southwest section,
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police, intends to do everything
possible to help organize boys club.
Maj. Brown, who was one Of the
speakers at meeting Of the South
west Citizens Association last week,
said there Is no question about the
value of boys club. The principal
drawback has been finding suitable
quarters for a club house.
The association treasurer said there
Is over $500 In the bank to go toward
organization Of a boys club. The
money was donated by the residents
of the southwest early this year.
William Leishear Of the Boys Club
Committee said his group had can
vassed part Of the section for dona-
tions to this fund and when the as
sociation could not find a suitable
location for the club they had dis
continued the plan.
The Potomac School was given
some consideration, but officials said
it was in bad condition and would
cost too much to repair. Leishear
was selected to investigate a space
above the Municipal Fish Market and
report on its suitability at the next
meeting.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies

to Traffic Enforcement.

all the recreation activities now
operated by the Federal Govern
rnent, largely at District expense.
Matters involving the use by the
Recreation Department of school
facilities could be decided by joint
action Of the boards Of education
and recreation precisely as some
public utilities matters are decided
finally by the joint action Of the
Public Utilities Commission and
the Board Of Commissioners. A
similar arrangement, it Is pro-
posed, would be made with the
ofiice Of National Capital Parks as
to questions involving the use Of
Federal property.
Many civic leaders express the
conviction that the planning and
supervision Of recreation within
the District of Columbia Is far
from being O natural function of
the great general Government Of
the United States.
Studies Of this problem by a
number Of civic bodies are ex-
pected to produce q crop Of def
mite recommendations early in the
new year.

: Unified Recreation Facilities
Under District Control.

NOMMl6SlONE f1ALEN Is al
~ ardent advocate of consolidat-
ing the recreation facilities Of
the District under the District gov
ernment. Mr.. Hazen holds that the
various activities which are
financed in large part by local
taxes should be under control of
the Commissioners, who are respon-
sible for the expenditure Of the
District funds. He made this idea
clear last week at q meeting Of his
old neighborhood association, the
Southwest Washington Citizens
Association. The association voted
its approval Of the plan as have
several other associations.
It has been noted that one or
two associations have recorded
their approval of the control of
the Districts recreation system by
the ONCE of National Capital Parks
of the Department of the Interior.
It is learned that such action has
been largely Influenced by an idea
that the National Parks Service
would be able to command more
liberal financial support of this
work by the Federal Government
than If under the District. Some
of the civic committees which have
been studying this matter ex-
press the opinion the recreation
facilities will have to depend for
support on District tax money.
They recognize that the G. w. A.
funds did help considerably in the
construction Of the Takoma and
the Banneker pools, but that such
Federal aid is not to be depended
upon as q regular "diet."
One suggestion heard recently
for the control Of the recreation
system is that there be created a
Department of Recreation under q
citizen Board Of Recreation"
similar to the Board of Education,
but appointed by the District Com
missioners. This board would ap-
point director and have some
what the same powers over the
department as exercised by the
School Board over the schools.
The Department Of Recreation
would take over the Municipal
Playground Department, Com
munity. Center Department and

"HE Santa Claus spirit ap-
pears TO have entered
some of our civic affairs.
With lower telephone rates
already in effect and the
distribution under way Of . 10
per cent refund to the subscribers;
with Messrs. Keech and Roberts
predicting o cut in electric rates
and the House of Representatives
Appropriation Subcommittee prom
ising to continue the cut water
rates, civic workers are strength
ened in their belief In Santa Claus.
Further evidence Of his exist
ence is to be found in the signing
of the contract for the advance Of
funds by P. w. A. for the Tuber-
culosis Sanatorium, beginning work
on the Georgetown Branch Library
and real progress toward the Ana
costa High School, which by the
way, is to have wings. Many Of
these projects have been listed in
the civic organization letters to
Santa Claus for a long time, so the
element Of surprise Is completely
missing.
If all the remaining grade cross
ings were eliminated, II adequate
school accommodations were pro-
vided, II a beginning was made Of
our Municipal Center group, If our
mass transportation system was
completely revamped under the
merger, If the District budget was
considered in the open with a spirit
of liberality befitting the National
Capital, and II the District was
granted financial and political
equity, then organized civic Wash
ington would be convinced beyond
all question Of doubt that there Is
really and truly a Santa Claus.
With an abiding faith and an
undaunted courage the civic forces
will press on to the time when the
civic Christmas stockings will
bulge with fulfilled civic needs, so
long and so well deserved.
