As County Weighs
Street Work Pleas

homeowners who want their
streets improved brought their
petition to the Prince Georges

ties.
The petition, which seeks a
capital improvement of nine

District 48, apparently had the
necessary signatures Of 81 per
cent of the resident property
owners.
The commissioners, however,
were confronted by another petit
ton, signed by residents of the
same area who do not want side
walks or street lights.
The second petition, presented
by Mrs. Arthur j. Mcfarland, of
6628 Twenty-fourth avenue, con-
tanned the names of some who
signed the first paper.
Monroe B. Goldberg, who pre-
sented the first request in be-
half of the Riggs Manor Citi-
zens' Association, said Mrs. Nc
Farland had told homeowners
that street improvements would
be too costly.
The board agreed to accept
the first petition subject to a
check on its percentage validity.
Also appearing before the
board were taxi company oper-
atorS who claimed Washington
cabs were encroaching on their
territory.
Four cabbies who work in the
