Lively Interest
In Transportation Problems.

GONE Of the best attended civic
y meetings held this Winter
have been for the considera-
ton of transportation problems.
Manor Park, Takoma, D. c.; Pet
worth and others have held sue
cessful meetings with large at
tendance and keen interest. At a
number of these meetings members
of the Public Utilities Commission
and the peoples counsel have been
present and also representatives of
the transportation companies. The
interchange Of ideas and the voic-
ing of definite complaints and sug-
gestions have been of practical
value both to the public officials
and the companies as we'll. A
number Of improvements Of service
can be traced directly to these
conferences.
The most recent transportation
meetings to be noted were held
during the past week by Petworth.
Chevy Chase and Sixteenth Street
Heights. The Petworth association
is leading in a joint movement of
the associations abutting Georgia
avenue for a speedier and more
adequate service for that general
section.
The Chevy Chase Citizens As
sociation, under the very active
leadership of its new president.
Edwin S. Hege. plans a persistent
hight for improved service for that
section. While other sections have
been inclined to point to Chevy
Chase as one section where the
service and equipment is the best
in the District 1t appears that it is
far from satisfying the section.
At a recent transportation meet
ing In another section. when ref
erence was made to the 20 cars Of
q new type which have been
ordered. some one sneeringly sug-
gested that they would probably
be put on the Chevy Chase line.
One question which has been
asked persistently at these gather
ings is, Why have there been only
20 Of the new-type cars ordered?
Mr.. Hanna. president Of the Capt.
tai Transit Co., has explained
these cars are of two types, and it
is desired to try them out in ac-
tual operation to learn the public
opinion Of them and also their
adaptability to our local operating
conditions This method appears
to be far more considerate of the
public than has been exhibited at
times in the past. when. under the
urge for added equipment. compa-
nies have picked up what rolling
stock they could find without
much regard to the desires of the
patrons or its being of suitable
type. There has been bitter criti-
cism of some of the types of cars
wished on the riders in the past
which it is expected will be avoid
ed by this present try-out method.

A PERSISTENT fight is being
n wsged by the Cathedral
Heights Cleveland Park Citi-
zen's Association for the establish
ment of the principle and practice
of appointing local people to local
onices. The Society Of Natives of
the District Of Columbia has since
its inception taken q similar stand.
The Natives also have urged the
selection, where possible, Of native
Washingtonians. but in any event
have stood for the selection Of
bona fide District residents who
have been here long enough to
know the town and during such
time Of local residence have not
claimed residence elsewhere.

Park Association holds that not
only are our local residents as well
qualified as outsiders to hold local
public ONCE, but. in addition, are
far more familiar with local prob
lens than non-residents. This
association is calling on all other
organizations to give their support
to this crusade.

BEER FIRM IN
CONTEMPT CASE
Grocery Owners, Winners
in Test Case, Unable
to Buy Beer.

Judge James A. Emmert of Shelby
Circuit Court today ordered the
Universal Beverage Co., Indianapo-
lis, to appear in his court July %
and show cause why it should not
be cited for contempt because it
refused yesterday to sell beer to the
Koehler Grocery Store, 34th-st and
Arlington-av, Indianapolis.
The action was taken after
Charles and Frederick Koehler, pro-
prietors. filed 6 charge in court that
the company had violated an in
junction Of the court and had inter-
fered with the grocery by not sup
plying it with beer.
The original action was brought in
Shelby County because Marion Cir
cult Court is not in session. The
1885 Indiana liquor law prohibits the
retail sale of beer outside incorpo-
rated communities and provides for
fines against wholesalers who sell to
retailers who have no licenses.
Charles Koehler said that farmers
among his customers feel that the
law was framed to make them pat
ronize city taverns.
