Joint Conference
VIII Be Proposed
Forest Hills Group To
Discuss Suggestion
Tomorrow

Plans for organizing another joint
conference.-the time in the North
west section-will be discussed at a
meeting of the Forest Hills Citizens
Association tomorrow night.
L. A. Carruthers, president, declared
there are about six associations in the
proposed boundaries which could bene-
fit greatly from such a union. As
proposed, the boundaries will include
the area west of Rock Greek and north
of Massachusetts, avenue.
The Pennsylvania Avenue South
east Bridge is a good example of the
benefit such an organization gives to
member associations" Mr. Carruthers
cited as an example of benefits derived
by the Southeast Council, adding that
the recent settlement on this one
bridge project, instead OF the fight
for the four proposed bridges in South.
east will carry great weight in push
ing the project through to completion.
Should the proposal be approved
tomorrow night. he declared, George
Esch will be called upon to head q
committee to either visit or invite by
letter the other associations con-
cerned
The proposed conference could de-
termine its own meeting place. Mr..
Carruthers declared No. 8 precinct
station is about at the geographical
center of the six associations and
would probably be the most con.
veniently located for all.

TAX-PAYING BY MONTH
is SWANTON PROPOSAL

A proposal to pay taxes monthly.
instead of annually, will be introduced
by w. 1. Swanton, secretary of the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton, at meeting of that group
Tuesday night.
Mr.. Swanton says he does not know
at this time what the attitude of
members of the association will be
on this question. but he expressed
himself as personally in favor of the
measure. 1T means more work for
the tax Office" Mr.. Swanton declared.
However, I am inclined to believe
this plan would tend to do away with
much of the delinquency Of tax
payers" For small-salaried persons.
he declared, this would be a great aid.
This plan is now in effect in Ports
mouth, Va, and in other towns
throughout the country, he said. As
for the method of handling the bills,
he said he does not know whether the
cities now using this system send out
monthly bills or yearly bill, with
coupons to be submitted with each
monthly payment.
If the association favors the idea.
he said, study will be made on the
various systems now used by these
other cities.

TRAFFIC IS TOPIC
Of MASS MEETING
Chevy Chase Citizens Fall in
Line With Proposal of
Peoples Counsel.

Citizens of the Chevy Chase area
will have an opportunity TO air their
views on the transportation situation
at mass meeting to be held by the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association at
its regular meeting, Wednesday, De-
cember 10.
At its last meeting the group re-
ceived petition from more than 100
residents asking the early substitution
of busses for the present Connecticut
avenue street cars, and voted to make
the discussion of transportation the
special order of business at the De-
cember meeting, inviting all residents
of the area to attend, whether they
are members Of the association or not.
At this meeting the association will
not influence the views in any way,
but merely will act as motivating
spirit to obtain a cross section of the
opinions of Chevy Chase residents re-
garding their transportation needs.
This meeting will be directly in line
with the wishes of Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts, who last Wednes-
day sent letter to presidents, secre-
taries and chairmen of Public Utilities
Committees of all citizens associations
asking them to attend a meeting this
Wednesday night to discuss informally
the transportation situation. and urg-
ing citizens mass meetings for dis
cussion of the problem.
The Chevy Chase group also will
discuss automotive traffic at the De-
cember meeting, as members feel the
two problems are interviewer, espe-
cially in the Chevy Chase area. One
instance is the location Of stops for
the Chevy Chase de luxe bus, most
of which are directly alongside the
street car loading zone, consequently
traffic is choked when a car and bus
are stopped at the same time.
