District National Representation
Boosted by Commissioner Allen.

THERE is much favorable
comment among the rank
and file of organized civic
Washington on the recent utter
anees of Commissioner George E.
Alien regarding making the Dis
trict government representative
and democratic, as appeared ex-
clusively in The Sunday Star. Mr..
Allen advocates the recall of Dis
trict Commissioners by vote of
the people and proposes to have
legislation drafted TO set up the
required machinery to bring that
about whenever the Commission
ers are running counter to the
desires of the people. He also
favors initiative and the referen-
dunn adviSories to Congress re-
garding certain classes OF District
legislation.
The Commissioner recognizes as
a basic remedy for the Districts
anomalous situation the enact
ment OF the proposed constitu-
tional amendment empowering
Congress to grant voting repre-
sentation TO District residents in
the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives and the right to vote
for President and Vice President.
In indorsing national representa-
ton for the District Mr.. Allen is
following in the footsteps OF the
entire Board Of Commissioners Of
1880, which on March IL of that
year sent a strong favorable report
on the proposed amendment to the
House Committee on the Judiciary.
Civic leaders are much en-
couraged by Mr.. Aliens attitude,
particularly when he said, Il hold
a sincere hope that before I leave
District service some form of real
representation for the people OF
the District may be obtained"

kerOuting Of Transit Lines
Expected 10 Reach Hearing Stage.

a s IMPATIENCE increases at
n the delay in putting into op-
Grafton some sort of a re-
routing Of the Districts transit
system there is an announcement
from the District Building that the
hearing stage will be reached this
month. Citizens who have been
giving close attention to this prob
lem say the problem has been un-
duly complicated by reason of the
many different sets of experts who
have to be satisfied. There are
some features which seem perfectly
simple to the lay car rider like
routing the Georgia avenue cars
down Seventh street and some of
the Fourteenth street cars down to
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and Department Of Agri-
culture. These are criticisms heard
on every hand and some cit
liens have suggested that a few Of
such changes would encourage the
public and increase their patience
for complete rerouting.
Some months ago the Capital
Transit Co. and the Public Utili-
ties Commission invited citizens to
submit suggestions for. rerouting
and improvement of the service. 1t
Is understood there have been such
suggestions sent in. 1t will greatly
facilitate the completion of this
work and shorten the duration of
the hearing If suggestions be forth
coming now instead of after the
rerouting plans are all complete.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

~ CONSOLIDATION of mu-
nicipal and Federal rec
reational activities is one
~ problem to be considered
by the Senate subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Gore, it
has been said. This subject was
brought up before the open forum
conducted by Senator King last
Winter. At that gathering Henry
!. Quinn, a member Of the Board
OF Education and delegate TO the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, stated very emphatically he
believed recreation and education
should 60 hand in hand. He
pointed out the Municipal Play
ground Department uses much OF
the school playground facilities
and In actual operation duplicates
some activities Of the school sys-
TEN.
In discussing the matter recently
Mr.. Quinn stated he has given
this matter further study and Is
convinced all these recreational
and leisure hour activities should
be merged to form a part Of the
school system. He has no sympa-
thy with building up huge recre-
alton department as a separate
branch of the District government
when there could be a much more
logical and efflcient organization
worked out as a part OF the edu-
cation system. He believes such
consolidation OF the Community
Center Department. the Municipal
Playground Department and the
Federal recreational agencies would
tend to more efficient and econom-
ical management and would give
increased service for the present
expenditures.
Some civic workers are not in
clined to discuss merger Of the
playground and community center
departments because OF their
loyalty to one or both OF the es-
timable ladies who direct these de-
partments. Others contend 1t is
not a question of personnel. but
one Of underlying principle and the
most efficient performance OF a
municipal function.
Mr. Quinn has announced his in
tention of continuing a study Of
the matter with a view to framing
a legislative solution Of the prob
lem. He feels a proper solution
is most essential as an aid to car
rying forward the character edu-
cation program in the schools.

roll street, Takoma Park, D. C. was

ton on the fiftieth anniversary of her

Shall the Commissioners
Create Dry Residence Areas?

4 CITING in response to the re-
n quests Of the Citizens Asso-
ciation of Takoma, d. c., on
behalf of more than a thousand
residents and owners of real estate,
the Commissioners are to hold q
hearing on Tuesday, July II, to
determine whether, under section
2 of the A B. C. act, Takoma shall
be made a dry area by regulation.
These protestants maintain the
Congress made no idle gesture
when the section was put into law.
There was an insistence for some
form of local option to be incor-
porated in the law. In the great
haste to enact this law Congress,
instead Of including a definite local
option provision, clothed the Com
missionerS with the power to, by
regulation, set aside dry areas.
The Takoma association, imme-
diately upon the passage of the
act. sought Of the Commissioners
such regulation and has continued
to press the matter, both before
the A. B. c. Board and the Com
missioners. There are several ap-
plications for various types of IL
censeg pending, but 90 far none

has been granted in the heart of
Takoma. The adjoining Takoma
Park, Md, is dry by law and there
is strong sentiment to keep the
District side also dry. The Ia.
koma community has just COM
pleted its f1itieth year without the
sale Of liquor.

vention closed Friday. July 6.

Other District Government
REORGANIZATION Proposals.

VYyHILE there is wide concur
:" rance in the proposals by
Commissioner Allen for
democratizing the District govern
ment there are other ideas in
which there is equal concurrence.
Most conspicuous among these are
the proposal for another civilian
Commissioner to take the place OF
the Army officer Engineer Commis-
sioner; the complete divorce of
the District budget from the Fed
eral Budget Bureau and the reten-
tion of the several citizen boards
as independent agencies.
Numerous organizations have
recorded approval of the proposal
to have another civilian Commits
sioner with the same qualification
requirements as for the present ci-
william Commissioners. These advo-
Gates point out that provision may
or may not be made for the detail
of officers of the Corps of Engi-
neerS of the Army TO head the
Engineer Department, but they can
see no gooo reason loT SUCH
engineer being a member of the
Board of Commissioners.
Throughout organized civic
Washington it appears difficult to
find any who are friendly to re-
tanning the existing practice of
having the Budget Bureau passing
on the expenditure of our funds
raised by local taxation and to be
expended for the local purposes
for which they we're collected
Suggestions for the substitution
of bureaucratic control for the
Board of Education, the Board Of
Library Trustees and the Board OF
Public Welfare seem to have no
support so far as the civic organi-
cations are concerned. Individual
leaders express the opinion more
rather than fewer citizen boards
are needed in this voteless and un-
represented community. Substitu-
ton of bureaucracy for the citi-
zen boards has been advocated in
the past. but has always aroused
such general opposition that the
effort has failed.

front on Capitol Hill. There are
many advantages to be gained
through the citizens and the Com
missiOners pulling together when
ever that is at all possible. There
are always so many conflicting in
huences, many times of a purely
private character, that many per-
picking problems arise. II the
Commissioners and the organized
citizens can travel together, it will
make a helpful combination and
impress members of Congress
favorably.
Executive Avenue Gate Posts
Regarded as Traffic Menace.
CEVERAL citizens have recently
- called attention to the mas
sive granite gate posts at the
Pennsylvania avenue entrance to
West Executive avenue and told Of
narrow escapes they have had
from being struck by passing We
hicles. They also point out these
huge masses of stone are a serious
traffic obstruction which cause
much congestion, especially during
rush hours. These citizens ask
that some organization or some
body do something about it,
These granite posts are all that
is left of the gates which formerly
were hung there and at an earlier
day existed at the entrance to
East Executive avenue and at Fiji
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue. and also at Seventeenth
street and New York avenue, Just
south of the State, War and Navy
Building. At each of these loca-
tiOns there were heavy iron gates,
which we're closed at certain times.
At the same time there were high
and Franklin Squares with gates
which were closed at sunset.
All these have given way to
modern ideas, except these great
monumental posts from which the
gates were stripped a few years
ago for the benefit of some con-
greSsional constituency. There
has never been available a salts
factory explanation Of why these
relics have been suffered to re-
main.
While there is apparently no
organized movement to remove
these traffic distractions as a safe
ty measure, it is considered by
many of our citizens as a civic
problem which should not be diff
ficult of solution in these times
of broad executive powers and
P. w. A. and other funds.
