that Mr.. Stull would have little if
any opposition.

Inclusion in the 1941 District an
preparation bill of an item for con-
struction OF a branch public lib
rary on the southwest corner of
wisconsin avenue and Albemarle
street NV. will be the PRINCIPAL
topic to be discussed by the Friend
ship Citizens Association at it's
meeting Wednesday in the Jannev
School, according to president Sam
uel j. Flickinger.
AT last weeks meeting, vigorous
opposition was expressed by the
southeast and Fort Davis Citizens
associations to the proposal to
change the construction of the
new National Guard Armorv at
the eastern end of East Capitol
street from stone to brick. The
former group stated that use of
stone for the exterior would cost
little more than brick and if brick
were used it would tend . de-
crease the value of the building
sites, which, according to William
A. Malo, president of the South
east association, were for future
Government projects similar to the
new stone buildings in and around
the Federal Triangle.
This question is expected to be
taken up by still another civic
group, the Northeast Conference,
at Its meeting Thursday. Alfred D.
Calvert, president of the confer
ence. said.
Two Groups Oppose Stables.
Another matter that seems to be
meeting with opposition is the zon-
Ing regulation in the District which
permits the erection of stables in
residential "a" restricted zones. The
Chevy Chase Citizens Association
and more recently the Hampshire
Heights Citizens Association have
gone on record as being vigorously
opposed to this regulation. The
former organization cited section 3.
paragraph B of the zoning regula-
tions in the District governing the
erection OF private stables, which
stlpulates that the opening of such
structure must be on an alley. The
association would have this parti-
cular section of the regulations
amended to read that no stables of
any sort be erected unless provision
were given the public to appear in
protest, If such protest is warranted.
Support of David A. Pine for the
vacant judgeship of District Court
and the District National Guards
membership drive continues to
strengthen.
