sort of dull misery had replaced it.

They began that very evening

street to explain the situation to
him.

to admit the young man.

Citizens Association
To Weigh Traffic
Fatality Proposals
Loson-Thomus Circle
Unit Opposes Cut
In Fire Department

A report and discussion of 1899
trafic accidents and fatalities and
proposed corrective measures will
be taken up at the next meeting Of
the Logan Thomas Circle Citizens
Association, with action expected on
:. suggestions to reduce the accident
toll. The subject was introduced
at the associations meeting last
night by Mrs. Ella M. Thompson,
president. when she presented to the
members, after personal study,
the traffic fatality analysis published
January l by The Star.
The association last night voiced
opposition to any reduction in per-
, sonnel or appropriation causing in
, efficiency in the local Fire Depart
ment and asked that the IS men
recently taken from the District
. firefighting force be replaced.
Action followed the reading of a
letter from the Firehghters' Asso-
citation.
Previous action favoring the estab-
lishment of health farm for in
ebriates was reiterated by the organ
1zation on a motion by Frank M.
Thompson.
Incorporation Favored.
Any action taken by the Fedora
: tion Of Citizens Associations toward
its own incorporation was favored
unanimously. H. M. Fulton, dele
gate to the Federation, made the
motion.
The resolution of the Piney Branch
Citizens Association suggesting a
meeting of delegates from associa-
tlons and headed by an impartial,
dlslnterested person to establish
boundaries of existing associations
and to draft a set of rules to de-
termine boundaries of newly form
ing groups was tabled by the Logan
Thomas Circle group after some
criticism of hard and fast limits.
