will be so anxious to wind up the spe-
cial session and get home before
Christmas that they will not be in
clined to take up any other matters.
Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham
toia this bureau over long distance
telephone that he did not expect to
name any committees whatever and
instead would recommend the consid-
Grafton of the unemployment insur-
ance -ill by the Senate sitting as a
committee of the whole. Representa-
tive r. Gregg Cherry, of Gastonia,
who is expected to be elected speaker
of the House, could not be reached for
a statement today, but the belief is
that he will agree with Lieutenant
Governor Graham and not appoint
any committees, insisting instead that
the entire house sit as a committee
of the whole to consider the unem-
ployment insurance tax bill before
putting it on its readings.
The belief here is that if this pro-
cedure is followed it will greatly speed
up. the special session.

" T. g. KER Will.

Raleigh, Dec. 8.-Indications are
that no committees will be appointed
for the special session Of the General
Assembly which will convene here
Thursday morning This means that
neither the lieutenant governor nor
the speaker of the House will make
any committee appointments until the
regular session convenes January 5,
and that the unemployment insu~o- q
bill, for the consideration Of which
this special session was called, will
be considered by each house. sitting
as a committee of the whole, instead
of by smaller committees,
If this plan is followed it will also
act as safeguard against the con-
sideration of any bills that may be in
troduced by members in addition to
the unemployment insurance bill. For
if any other bills are introduced, the
presiding officers can inform the
members who introduced them that
there are no committees to consider
them and ask that they be held over
until the regular session convenes. In
order to override the ruling of the
speaker or the lieutenant governor, it
will be necessary for a member to sus-
pend the rules, which requires two

likely to be had over the objections
of presiding officer. In addition. it

The stock market closed on a
stronger note today after first
hour irregularity.
Extension of freight rate sur
charges fell flat as an influence
on rails but helped shares Of
other industries. Reduction in
the coal and ore charges lifted
steels. The same influence was
apparent in rubbers, where gains
ran to a point and more. Rails
themselves were mixed with the
coalers heavy.
Aggressive buying in utilities
was factor in turning the list
upward. Motors also came to the
fore, Chrysler rising a point, while
merchandising shares continued
in demand
Case Threshing ran up 3 points.
Corn Products advanced more
than q point to a new high. In

ABANDONMENT
OF CAR LINE
OPPOSED
By A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

The Brightwood Citizens ASso-
citation at its final meeting of the
season, last night, adopted a reso-
luton offered by william NICK.
Clayton, chairman of its public
utilities committee, opposing aban-
donment of the Capital Transit
Company's Kennedy Street-Ta-
koma Park car line, retention Of
which was called vitally necessary
to the business and social needs
Of the territory.
The association also favored in
PRODUCTION in Congress of a bill
to prohibit use of one-man cars
in the District.
RezOning Opposed
The association opposed any re-
zoning of Thirteenth Street, Colo
RADIO Avenue, or Nicholson Street
Northwest to permit erection of
three family flats, which, members
said, would greatly depreciate real
estate values in neighborhood
now restricted to high-class family
homes.
In a resolution by Elmer John
son, the Commissioners were asked
to include in the 1888 District
Budget an item for the purchase Of
six dwelling houses at Eighth and
Nicholson streets, at an estimated
cost of $4,000, to enlarge the Paul
Junior High School Fairgrounds.
A resolution was adopted deplor-
ing action Of the House conferees
in refusing to compromise on the
1927 District appropriations bill.
Endorsement was voted the recent
action of the Federation of Citi-
ZenS Associations favoring the bill
approved by the Budget Bureau
recommending a Federal lump sum
appropriation of $5,700,000.
Lodge Urges Support
Thomas E. Lodge, federation
president, in an address, urged
that every possible influence be
brought to bear to secure passage
of the bill.
Peoples Counsel w. A. Roberts,
another guest speaker, told the
association the Commissioners
would refuse to pave Kennedy
Street until the street car situation
was settled. He urged citizens
associations to be aggressive in
claiming their rights.
A resolution of coincidence on
the death of Stephen E. Kramer,
first assistant superintendent of
schools, was adopted and copies
were ordered sent to his family.
The meeting was held at the
home of President Charles w. Ray
in Sandy Spring, Md, and the
association adjourned to meet the
second Friday in September.

LOCAL REALTY
0UTL00KG00D

The outlook for real estate and
consequently for real estate Sc
curities in Washington is better
than it has been for seveal years,
according to many local firms
dealing in this class of paper.
1t was asserted yesterday by one
prominent broker that demand for
real estate securities here was not
only greater than normally, but
that it was greater than in any
other section of the country at
present. There was, moreover, &C.
cording to another dealer in real
estate paper every indication that
this situation will continue.
Especially prominent in this line
are those securities effected by the
present demand for stores and
apartment houses. This, was seen
more than likely influenced by the
tremendous recent additions to
the population with consequent
increased purchasing power and
increased d and for living
quarters.
Provided taxes are not increased,
and with the upward trend of
business which has been marked
throughout the first six months of
the year, along with the continu-
ance Of "eaSy money" there seems
no reason, from the viewpoint of
the average dealer here, to expect
anything except further improve
ment in real estate values and Sc.
curitieS.
It is asserted that income from
properties here should increase
due to higher unit rentals and
continued demands for occupancy.
The greatest increase in income is
expected in lower and medium
priced homes and apartments, but
the demand is not confined to
these classes. Securities or higher
claSsed properties are also in good
demand and are expected to prove
even more desirable as invest
ments during the remainder of the
year. In spite of increased build
ing activity noted in recent
months, the demand for real es-
tate securities exceeds the supply.

DULL CURB LIST
RISES IN MOST
SECTIONS
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, June 13 U.N.S).
Curb stocks improved their posi-
ton in later dealings, advancing
slightly in most divisions. Some
irregularity continued, however.
Trading was extremely quiet.
A few of the higher priced
miscellaneous shares advanced a
point or so, among them First
National Stores, Adams Mills pre-
ferred and Aluminium Of America
preferred.
The power shares accounted for
a good proportion of the total
trading, but we're showing vir-
tually no change from previous
closing levels. Electric Bond and
Share 6 per cent preferred, South
ern California Edison preferred
and Puget Sound Sc preferred
lost some ground. Cities Service
Power and Light preferred held
on to its point gain.
