new FIRE STATION.
ASKED BY CITIZENS
Site Further Out Than Sixteenth
Street and Colorado Avenue
Is Recommended.

Believing an appropriation Is now
available for erection of o fire house
in the community, the Sixteenth
Street Heights Citizens Association
will request that the station be moved
further out than Sixteenth street and
Colorado avenue, the site that was
abandoned as a result OF many pro-
tests from citizens.
The citizens hold they are not ade-
Quately protected in the event Of fire,
the nearest fire house being located
at Georgia and Concord avenues,
nearly miles from the Sixteenth
Street Heights area. The condition
of the truck in this station is deplor-
able, the group maintains, and should
it break down the next available ap-
paAtus is located at Fourteenth and
Park road.
Samuel B. Loveless, president Of
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens'
Association, says the residents OF that
area have been clamoring for more
fire protection and will no doubt be
glad to have the station erected in
that neighborhood.

LIBERALIZED DIVORCE
LAW RECOMM ENDED;
Dahlgren Terrace Unit Sets Forth
Ideas in Resolution; Present
Statute Held Inadequate.

Divorce laws in the District Of Co
lumbia should be liberalized 20 a. 10
place it within the power Of the courts
to grant absolute divorces upon Q sat-
isfactory showing Of desertiou, ex-
treme cruelty and addiction to drugs
or liquor, in addition to adultery. In
the eyes Of the Dahlgren Terrace
Citizens Association members.
This was set forth in . resolution
adopted Wednesday, and copies OF
the resolution ordered sent Senator
William King Of Utah and Repre-
sentative Mary Norton, respective
chairman Of the Senate and House
District Committees; the Federation
of Citizens Associations and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
"The present stringent law" the
motion stated, "is now neither ade-
quate nor appropriate to the life of
the community and tends to produce
q train Of perjury and bigamy." --.
The resolution proposed that the
law relating to marriage be made
more stringent, so as to prevent as
far as possible the contradiction a
marriages that must inevitably end
IN ths 6ioorce eourts."

Pupils Compelled
To Salute Banner
Four Blocks Away

Because Of lack Of funds for
the purchase of flags for District
schools one Of the classes in q
Northeast school each morning
was forced to salute q flag four
blocks away on top a fire station,
John H. williams Of the Dahl
gren Terrace Citizens Association
declared at a recent joint con-
ference of Northeast Citizens
Associations meeting.
The conference was discussing
alleged communistic activities in
the public schools and plans
whereby teachers and students
alike would each morning be
compelled to salute and take an
oath of allegiance to the flag.
williams, who is q teacher, said
that after more than q year OF
saluting the fire house nag
through the window, a new flag
was delivered to the class about
q month ago.

BOUNDARIES DROPPED
FOR UNIT MEMBERSHIP

The constitution of the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association has been
amended to allow persons residing
outside of the boundaries Of the asso-
citation to become members.
The Executive Committee, which
passes on all applications. has had to
refuse membership to a number Of
applicants because they did not live
within the boundaries prescribed by
the constitution. As many Of these
applicants had interests and prob
lens similar to those affecting the
association, the Executive Committee
drew up an amendment which would
allow them to be admitted.
The physical boundaries of the asa
Sociation are as follows: Sixteenth
street from K to Florida avenue, Flor

Excess Condemnation Bill
Now on the Statute Books,

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT on
April IL signed the act Ito
provide for the acquisition of
land in the District of Columbia
In excess Of that required for pub
lie projects and improvements, and
for other purposes. This legisla-
tion resulted from the painstaking
work Of DR.. Llewellyn Jordan in
connection with the Board Of
Trade. He worked on this matter
for several years, conducting an
extensive correspondence with Of
f1cias throughout the country.
The measure was generally ap-
proved by the civic bodies and re-
ceived the support of committees
OF Congress through the complete
and comprehensive brief prepared
by DR.. Jordan and supported by
the remarkable array of corre-
spondence, legal opinions and
court decisions. The unanimous
verdict was that this was a fine
piece of civic work, for which this
worker is deserving Of the thanks
Of the community.
The doctor was q visitor in the
Star Building the other day and
exhibited with real pride q letter
from Secretary Marvin Mcintyre,
sending him the pen with which
the President signed the act. DR..
Jordan is happier over this little
relic Of the consummation of his
efforts than II his reward had been
in the form of q large sum of
money.

Uttered Streets Evidence Of
Inadequate Appropriation.

COMPLAINT in the Mount
u Pleasant Citizens ASsocia ton,
and from other sources, OF the
general untidy condition of the
city, brings up real problem.
The quantities of paper and trash
In the streets make a most unfa-
Vorable appearance. A committee
has been appointed to lay the mat
ter before the Commissioners.
1t Is very natural in all such
matters Immediately to lay the
blame upon the District Commits
sioners and the heads of the de-
partment responsible for that part
OF the municipal job. Inquiry at
the District Building completely
exonerates these officials, and the
reason Is very plain.
These figures eloquently place
the blame on the inadequate ap-
preparation for this very necessary
service, which is so essential to
the health and the beauty Of the
Capital City. For the fiscal year
1882 the appropriation for street
cleaning was $568 900, and for the
current year is only s375 900. To
keep the city clean and present.
able to the visitors from all over
the country, according to the city
of1cials, requires manpower. and
to get manpower ample funds are
needed.

Growing Demand for
Impartial ID. C. Fiscal Study.

COMMISSIONER HAZEN has
" expressed the hope that a
comprehensive and unbiased
study may be made of all pertinent
phases of the question of the fiscal
relations between the Federal and
District governments. Such inves-
tigation would. of course, embrace
an impartial study of comparative
tax burdens by experts capable of
interpreting such information.
The recent report from the
Treasury Department, after ad-
mitting the incompleteness and un-
reliability Of the document con-
cluded with the recommendation
THAT a more extensive investiga-
ton, conducted with the assistance
Of experts within and outside Of the
Federal Government, be author
ized."
For many years the Federation of
Citizens Associations has been urg-
ing q thorough survey Of this i'm
portant matter by q commission
upon which the citizens of the Dis
trict Of Columbia should be repre-
sented. in order that these voteless
taxpayers might have o voice in the
selection Of the experts who would
actually do the work. The idea in
the federation has always been
that such an investigation should
be open and above board rather
than shrouded In Strictest secrecy
until completed and too late to do
anything about it.
The Citizens Advisory Council,
during its brief life, submitted q
recommendation to the Commits
sioners and to Congress for the Gre
alton of such an impartial COM
mission upon which the silent and
impotent, but heaviest paying part
ner might have representation.
Some civic leaders have expressed
the opinion that the recent report
besides being inconclusive and in
complete is exceedingly misleading
and in consequence has done the
District q real injury. These same
leaders feel that the President, hav-
ing shown q desire to remove the
very unbusinesslike controversy
from the annual consideration of
the District appropriations, could
consistently carry the matter fur
ther, but upon entirely different
lines. They claim the District does
not fear the truth, but wants to be
absolutely sure that 1t is "the trs.n,
the whole truth and nothing but
the truth"
the truth" Truth" says Gov.
Pollard. "is the anvil upon which
UAny q hammer has hoaa hgokan."
