The Conduit Road Citizens AS
sociation, at a meeting last night
in the Palisades Field House,
Joined with other civic groups in
opposing the report of the Jacobs
Committee on Fiscal Relations.
The resolution as adopted de-
clared acceptance Of the report
by Congress would greatly in
crease the present tax rate in the
District, because it fails to give
due consideration to the vast
amount of Federal property out
side local tax columns.
Improved service was requested
Of the Capital Transit Company
on the Cabin John car line and
Potomac Heights bus line.
It also was urged that the Cabin
John-Glen Echo cars be cut back
at the Lincoln Park car barn In
stead Of at Twenty-second and
Rhode Island Avenue N. E., au-
thorized in the recent rerout1ng
plan, and that cars be better ven
tilated.

from the committee on highways,
requesting that Sherrier Place be-
tween Weaver Terrace and Chain
Bridge Road be improved With q
concrete roadway and sidewalk,
with the understanding that
abutting property owners assume
their proportionate share Of cost.
The National Capitol Parks
office was asked to purchase the
East triangle at the junction OF
Conduit Road and Reservoir
Road for park purposes and re-
move a vacant building now on

The association voted its ap-
proval of Senate bill 978, Sporl'

and conditions now enjoyed by

Endorsement was given the pro-
posed establishment of health

Health officer George H. Rub

The group tabled a bill to elimi-
nate capital punishment in the

tive committeef or further study,
a bill to retire judges Of the local

note of panic was in his voice. Ham,

"Ay!" came the answer. Olson,

their camping place, driving the dogs
to the first level spot where twisted
tree growth formed shelter from the

digging under old drifts or to wind
