CITIZENS WILL RENEW
FIGHT TO GET VIADUCT
Plan to Seek Appropriation for
Bridge. When Supply Bill Is
Before Senate,

The Michigan Park Citizens Asso-
citation is preparing to renew its fight
for erection of a viaduct on Michigan
avenue over the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad tracks, according to DR..
Herbert Wright, president.
The next step, it was pointed out.
is to get Congress to appropriate
money necessary for acquisition of
the right Of way. Congress already
has authorized the construction of the
bridge.
This crossing is adjudged one of
the. most dangerous in the city by the
association and has been the scene of
many accidents. The west end of
Michigan avenue has been developed
up to the proposed viaduct and the
east end is now being widened and
Strengthened from the other end of
the proposed bridge to Eighteenth
street.
The Northeast Citizens Association
Conference, consisting of the associa-
tionS of Brookland, Rhode Island ave-
nue.. Dahlgren Terrace, Burroughs and
Michigan Park, has acted in favor of
this construction in the past.
No action has been taken by the
Michigan Park group so far this year,
but they expect to act when the Dis
trict appropriation bill goes before the
Senate. During the last year letters
were sent to each member of the
House and Senate committees asking
for money for this purpose.

RECREATION CENTER
AT RESERVOIR URGED
Advantages Pointed Out by Piney
Branch Observation-Disclosures
Sought.

Development Of the old Sixteenth
Street Reservoir site into a modern
recreation center will continue to be
sought by the Piney Branch Citizens
such project.
The association some months ago
adopted a resolution urging CONVEX
sion of the old reservoir site into such
a center, the advantages of which
have been frequently pointed out by
the officers and other members of the
association. The reservoir basin, it
has been said, could with comparative
ease be developed into a stadium for
various forms of athletics.
Capt. G.. L. Shorey, president of the
Piney Branch group, points out that a
modern recreation center is needed in
the section in which the old reservoir
is located, in order to provide a con-
venient place for the many boys and
girls in the surrounding territory to
exercise.
Officers of the Piney Branch Asso-
citation recently have been seeking
larger attendance at the associations
meetings. Speaking on the subject of
attendance. Capt. Shorey expressed
the view that officers Of the aSsocia-
ton could accomplish much more "if
the members would give greater sup
port by attendance at the meetings"
capt. Shorey points out that the as
soclation frequently discusses and acts
on matters believed to be Of interest
to practically all persons living in the
P1ney Branch section, and expressed
the hope that more members Of the
association will attend its meetings.

Roaring of Circus

Resolution Passed Seek.
ing to Bar Road
ShO,rs.

It's a shame Clyde Beatty wasn't
in charge of those lions.
Because Mr.. Beatty, it Is reported,
has some sort Of a power over the
beasts, and no doubt could have made
them shut up. But the lions that
have in the past paid visits to the
circus lot up at Nebraska and Wis
consin avenues have been-well, they
have not been overly quiet creatures,
particularly at night.
At least, c. F. Mccarthy. who
lives near the lot, told the Friendship
Citizens Association Wednesday night
he has lost sleep quite a few times
because circus lions seem to have an
urge to roar after sundown. He in
troduced a resolution at the meeting
asking that permits be refused cir
cuses or travelling carnivals that in
tend to operate on property classed
as strictly residential, as the Wis
consin avenue plot is. The motion
was passed.
The poor unsuspecting lions were
not the only carnival feature to be
censured. There are the makeshift
dressing rooms. The performers have
to use tents, and tents are known to
be translucent, resulting in rather OBJ
jectionable situations
The most serious charge, however
was against the followers of the
carnivals and not the shows them
selves. Mr.. Mccarthy pointed out
that any travelling carnival. no matter
how good or how clean, was bound to
gather a certain amount of riff
raft" to which no community should
be exposed.
So. if the Friendship Citizens Asso-
citation has anything to do with the
matter, the Friendship Heights area
will not again be forced to put up
with the conditions which accompany
travelling show.

Woodward, chairman-the appearance
of property in this section is much
improved, following the cleaning up

The rats, scampering about the

with spending money for the last

rats, hooded rats and the common
gray rat-and has sold 800 of them
to schools, laboratories and individ-

Medical schools use some for dis

A rats diet, Gardner explains, re-
quires as much attention as that of an

green vegetables, whole grain and
even cod liver oil are included in the

His experiences with the rodents
