creased taxes for District residents
will be the issue. With this thought
in mind, Frick suggested a more pro-
portionately balanced distribution Of
the taxpayers money in Southeast
toward general improvements, such as
the repair Of streets, installation of
traffic lights. construction of schools
and highways and modern street
lighting facilities, to name few.
From time to time, he continued,
improvements were made in South
east, but only, in great many in
stances. after repeated requests. II
the citizens relax enc moment in their
efforts to obtain needed improvements
for Southeast, he added, the tax
money obtained from this part Of the
city will be diverted for improvements
in other parts.
Granting suffrage to District resi-
dents and representative to protect
the citizens interests would help
Southeast receive just and proper
tionate share Of necessary improve
ments, Frick believes.
Besides his affiliations with the
citizens and business mems associ-
ations, Frick is second vice president
OF the Federation Of Business Mems
Associations, chairman OF the Law
and Legislation Committee OF the
Board of Trade. the citizens and
business mems associations and q
member OF the District Bar Associ-
alton.
He received his degree from George
town Law School in 1881, but passed
his bar examinations and WAS admit
ted to practice before the District
Court Of Appeals in 1890. He received
his masters degree the following year.
In 1881 Frick became eligible to prac-
tice law before the highest tribunal
IN the country, the United States
Supreme Court.

more than q base ball diamond" he
said. Access to it Is gained only by

TRAFFIC LIGHT NEED
CLAIMED BY CITIZENS
Mid.City Committee Particularly
Points to Conditions at Florida
Avenue and 18th Street.

Installation Of traffic signals at Ger
tain intersections will be requested
Of the tratic directors Office, follow
ing decision by the Midcity Citizens
Association Streets Committee, Of
which F. B. Hoffman is chairman.
The intersections specified by the
citizens as in need of such lights in
clude Thirteenth street and Florida
avenue, Fifth street and New York
avenue and Fourteenth and P streets.
It was pointed out that at each of
the locations listed are traversed con-
tinually by heavy traffic controlled
only "by occasional police officers"
When traffic on Thirteenth street
Is one way and moves more rapidly,
the citizens point out, the Florida
avenue crossing is particularly haz-
ardous" to pedestrians and east-west
automobile traffic alike. Since the
intersection is adjacent to Central
High School property, the citizens cite
the danger to school children who
must cross between the hours of 8
and 8 am. when trafic Is moving
one way and down the steep Thir-
teenth street hill
Scored as complicated and dam
gerous,' the Fifth street and New York
avenue traffic conditions were empha-
sized as in need of signals, principally
due to the fact that an active street
car line makes turn at that point
and that the junction Of L and Fifth
streets is about IS feet removed from
the Fifth street and New York avenue
intersection. The citizens declared for
this reason there are tie-ups at all
times of day."

SOUTHEAST NEEDS
OUTLINED BY FR|CK
Says improvements Propor-
tionate to Tax Share Would
Result From Vote.

Local suffrage, with subsequent rep
resentation In Congress. and a more
equal distribution Of money obtained
from taxes and assessments from
residents OF Southeast, would give that
section Of the city more just and
proportionate share OF public i'm
provements, Louis r. Frick, a member
OF the Southeast Citizens Associa-
ton and secretary and counsel Of the
Southeast Business Mems Associa-
ton, declared yesterday.
The Southeast section, Frick said,
has for a number Of years contrib
uted IS per cent Of all local taxes
and assessments while receiving but
an approximate 8 per cent in re-
turn. The other 10 or IL per cent Of
the Southeast tax money, he contin-
ued, has gone toward the beautifica-
ton and improvement Of the SEEM
ingly favored Northwest section. Par.
ticular emphasis seems to have been
given the construction OF bridges In
Northwest, Frick charged, with two
or three having been erected in the
last few years, while Southeast must
be content to use an obsolete and
inadequate structure, the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge.
Bridge Item Loss Protested.
The House Appropriations Com
mlttee report on the 1888 District
supply bill dropping an item Of
$325,000 to begin construction Of the
span threw q "bombshell' into citi-
zens' and business mems organization,
in Southeast.
c. Dick English. vice president of
the Southeast Business Mems Asso-
citation, declared that "it was the
worst thing he had ever heard"
A. w. Lee, president Of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association and
vice chairman Of the Bridge Commit
tee OF the Board of Trade, likewise
denounced the report.
Other civic and business associates
were of the same opinion, but all
seemed hopeful that the Senate SUBJ
committee on Appropriations at its
hearings will see fit to restore the
item to the budget. As the first step
in this direction, the Southeast Citi-
zens' Association at recent meeting
passed a motion criticizing the re-
port and at the time time requesting
hearing before the Senate Sub
committee on Appropriations.
AS a result of the report on the
1888 District supply bill, which shows
q prospective budget shortage of
slightly more than $6,OOO,OOO, in

the premises and public spaces Of

Street Lighting
Automatically Controlled.

A REPORT Of the Committee on
Safety Of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations called at
tention to numerous complaints
from various neighborhoods at the
absence of street illumination In
the carly morning hours. particu-
larly on dark, cloudy mornings.
It was urged that the condition of
visibility rather than the clock
govern the turning of Of the lights.
In this connection the Commis-
sioners were asked to investigate
the use Of an electric eye" to au-
tomatically operate the switches
to turn OH or turn on the lights.
1t has been learned that the
electric eye" operates the lights
even In Front Royal, Va.
The discussion OF this matter is
the revival of an old problem which
ran strong some years ago. Some
citizens are OF the opinion that
this modern electric invention is
now available to solve this prob
lsm - . complete substitute for
either the clock or human control.

REVISION SOUGHT
|NB0DY'S BYLAWS
Chevy Chase Committee Is
Studying Constitution for
Improvement Ideas.

A special committee of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association is study
ing the associations constitution with
a view to bringing it up to date and
making copies available to all men,
bers. Several minor changes also are
being considered.
The committee, appointed by Edwin
8. Hege, president, consists of George
B. Fraser. chairman Lewis Radcliffe
and Herman Schneider.
Members to Get Copies.
AS soon as the revision is completed
mimeographed copies will be made
which will be mailed to all members
This is being done so that the func-
tions of the association will be known
to all members and SO they will know
just what the association may and
may not do. 1t has been several years
since the constitution was last re-
vised, and Hege believes that there are
some members who are not entirely
familiar with its provisions.
Mail Voting Sought.
Among the several minor changes
which are being considered is one
which will permit members to vote
on some questions by mail. Some
times, Hage said, 1t is impossible to
get a representative vote at meeting
or possibly question may arise be-
tween meetings on which it is neces-
sary to know the opinion OF members
at once. In such instances return
postcards will be sent members on
which they may indicate their senti-
ments and mail them to association
officials.
1t is planned to bring this and sew
eral other matters to the attention of
members at meeting in the near fu-
ture. but it will be held over for an
other month before a vote Is taken,
as provided In the present constitu-
ton.
