Michigan Park Group
Protests Inadequate
Street Lighting
Thick Foliage Blamed
As Accident Hazard
Is Stressed

In q protest against poorly
lighted streets and sidewalks in the
vncinity of Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets at Michigan avenue NE,
the Michigan Park Citizens Asso-
citation last night asked immediate
correction of this hazard at a meet
ing held in the old Bunker Hill
School.
Mrs. Floyd Rapp cited an instance
last week when a woman was
knocked down by an automobile at
Thirteenth street because the driver
was unable to see her stepping from
the dark sidewalk Another acci-
dent of the same nature at Twelfth
street was brought up.
"Outside of the business section
Washington is the poorest lighted
city in the country" affirmed Mrs.
H. G. Carhart, co-chairman of the
Membership Committee. Michigan
Park is an ideal community in most
every way except for the lack of
street light and most of this I
think is due to the thick growth of
tree foliage around the lamps; how
ever, the lights in this area should
be closer together" Mrs. Carhart
said. Mrs. Nancye Barker also
strongly protested the poor street
lighting.
School Ready Soon.
William E. Russell, chairman of
the School Dedication Committee,
said the new Bunker Hill School
should be ready for use sometime
In the near future, perhaps in De-
cember. Mrs. Rapp criticized the
present conditions in the old school
building where two sessions are
taught a day. This" she said, lis
very unfair to the pupils and tire
some on the teacher. The second
session of pupils not getting the
proper attention because the teacher
is worn out from the first"
Mr.. Russell pointed out with
pride for the Michigan Park area
that the city-wide cleanup of van
dalism in schools was not directed
at its locality as there had been no
reports of this at any time. I'm
fact" he said, Michigan Park is the
quietest section of any in the city;
and for a playground for the Bunker
Hill school children the National
Capital Parks Commission has ap-
proved a tract of land behind the
building, the front and side grounds
being sodded."
Delegates Reelected.
Mai. Edward A. Kane, delegate to
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, reported on the last meet
ing, also on the success of the en-
tertainment last month at the Tur-
key Thicket Recreation Center in
conjunction with the recruiting drive
of the District National Guard.
Mai. Kane was reelected with
Mr.. Russell as delegates to the Fed
Grafton.
H. G. Carhart, chairman of the
Membership Committee, announced
the enrolment of ITO new members
for this year with the expressed
hope that 500 would be taken in.
Mrs. Carhart told the association
that Michigan Park led all other
associations last year in paid mem
berships and the same record is to
be attained this year If possible.

Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Vote Not 10
Quit Federation
Discrimination Against
Northeast Area Of
City Is Charged

"A pTOpOSdl 10 QulC Lne FeQera-
ton of Citizens Associations was
offered last night at a meeting OF
the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association on the grounds that the
Federation has shown little CO.
operation" with the local group in
recent months and that relations
between the two bodies have been
generally unsatisfactory.
Fred T. Devine, chairman of the
Membership Committee, who pre-
sented similar motion at the last
meeting of the avenue group. asked
that the proposal be brought from
the table last night charging that
the Federation has continued to
neglect the interests of the North
east section of Washington while
favoring the Northwest. Mr.. Devine
urged the group to take the action
as protest against the "discrimina-
ton" in the hope that other civic
bodies of the area would follow suit
and eventually obtain from the Fed
Grafton "the attention that a
rapidly developing and important
section deserves
Dues Appropriated.
The citizens, in a divided vote,
chose however, to appropriate the
yearly Federation membership dues
and at the same time keep the res
ignation matter available for
prompt action should the newly
elected executive slate continue Its
past policy of seeming neglect"
Reporting on legal suit to enjoir
the operator of liquor store in the
1900 block of Rhode Island avenue
NE which was filed last month by
John L. Fowler on behalf of the
citizens group, Mr.. Fowler an
nounced that court hearing on the
matter will be held in the latter part
of this month and that private citi.
zenS of the community were con-
tributing funds to defray the cos,
of the proceedings being carried by
the association. At the October
meeting the association protested
the decision of the Alcohol Beverage
Control Board granting the license
in question, charging that the grant
violates an already established pro-
tective covenant against the sale o1
liquor in the 2300 block.
Alley Improvement Asked.
Improvement of the following
thoroughfares was asked and the
matters referred to the Streets Com
mittee: Resurfacing of an alley be-
tween Seventeenth street. Rhode
Island avenue and Franklin stree,
NE, and alley between Sixteenth
Seventeenth, Girard and Hamlir
streets NE. Street light installation
will be asked for Park avenue and
complaints of rubbish dumping In
Langdon Park will be presented to
the Health Department.
The Fire and Police Committee
was requested to investigate and re-
port at the December meeting on q
recent proposal that IS flremen be
discharged from the Fire Depart
ment personnel as an economy
measure.
Fourteen citizens were admitted
to membership last night on the
motion by Mr.. Devine, including
Daniel V. Thomas, L. A. Fillmer. J
w. Greevy, E. w. Forester, Lacey F.
TORY, Benjamin S. Beach, Charles
Chidakel, Frank F. Scott. Carl A
Lejonher. Wilbur E. Parrish. Violet
F. Scott, Mrs. Lottie w. High, Miss
Flora Lloyd and A. B. Dove. The
meeting, presided over by Vice
President James Hardey, in the ab-
sence of Harold j. Clay, was held in
the Woodbridge Subbranch Library.
