At Collington, the bridge over the

circuitous route Of the road, such as
it follows in the vicinity Of the new

pointed the blimp's nose straight back

Commerce will confer with represent
atives of the Capital Transit Co. in
the County Building here tomorrow

traction firm are removed.
officials of the local trade body
learned today that no provision has
been made for continuing the street
lighting system along the thorough
fare, one of the principal approaches
to the National Capital, after the
trolley poles are taken down.
Residents of the community, which
includes Friendship Heights, Somer-
set, Drummond, Chevy Chase Ter
race, Chevy Chase Gardens and
Bethesda, feel that the lack OF light
will constitute a serious menace to
traffic and that some action should
be taken immediately.
George p. Sacks, president Of the
Bank of Bethesda and a director OF
the Chamber of Commerce, contacted
residents along the thoroughfare over
the week end and declared that the
sentiment of the people Is that steps
should be taken to obtain the light
ing system.
Lights along the avenue have been
provided in the past by the Capital
Transit Co., under It's railway fran
chise, which requires the firm to pro-
vide free street lights.
The company, cooperating IN o
civic drive to improve the avenue, re-
Gently abandoned its right-of-way, is
now removing its rails and plans
shortly to take down the trolley poles,
which will relieve it from the obhga-
ton Of continuing the free system OF
street lights.
G. Melvin Sharpe, assistant to the
president of the Capital Transit Co.,
will represent that firm at the meet
ing tomorrow night.
County Commissioner Robert D.
Hagner also viii attend.
