COUNCIL APPROVES
! WOMEN ON JURIES
Objection'to Using Renewal
Fees for Signal Lights
Voiced by Citizens.
Amendment to the District code to
make women eligible for jury duty in
ihe District <>f Columbia was approved
by the Citizens’ Advisory Council,
meeting last night at the District
Building. Although the amendment
met with opposition from members of
the council, a motion by George R.
AV ales approving it was carried after
Mr. Wales had explained that the pur
pose of the bill is in complete accord
with the nineteenth amendment and
in line with similar privileges extend
ed to women in a score of States. The
\ote on the measure was 4 to 2. Mr.
Wales will write u report for submis
sion to the next meeting of the coun
cil. The amendment was brought to
I he attention of the council in a letter
from Mrs. Jennie O. Berliner, a mem
* her of the Women’s Bar Association
of the District.
Dr. George C. llavenner was ap
pointed to investigate certain phases
of the District traffic code and to
voice the objections of the council on
these matters. The council, although
lr took no formal action, voiced its ob
jection to the use of a fl-a-year fee
for renewal of automobile permits for
enlarging the traffic signal light sys
tem. its position being that it would
impose an additional burden on Dis
iriet taxpayers.
It also objected to the naming of
New Jersey avenue as an arterial liigh
wav, members declaring that since the
director of traffic has jurisdiction over
till streets one streel should not be
now selected to become a highway.
The council reaffirmed a previous
stand in opposition to the arbitrary
power of the traffic director to revoke
driving permits without review, and
declared drivers should be able to in
voke a. review by any competent court
having Jurisdiction In such matters.
The council, already in favor of ex
tension of parks if undertaken in such
away its to impose no great additional
burden on the taxpayers of the city,
took no formal action on a request by
the Congress Heights Citizens’ Asso
ciation for the addition of $400,000 to
ihe District budget for park purchase
purposes. It has adopted a policy of
present purchase of laud available for
park purposes in order to prevent
levying of exorbitant prices for these
ti reas in future years. A bill to author
ize purchase out of District funds of
the property at B. First and Third
streets and Pennsylvania avenue was
disapproved.

neers are completing plans for their

ARNOLD TO IMPROVE
SUBURBAN BUS LINE
Georgetown, Cherrydale and Balls
ton Service to Be Bettered,
New Owner Says.
Improvement will be made in the
service and equipment on the George
town, Cherrydale and Ballston bus
line, when It is taken over by Its new
management, it was announced today
by Leon Arnold, former president of
the Washington Rapid Transit Co.,
who purchased the line recently
from George W. Brooks and R. S.

Mr. Arnold will not get possession
of the line until March 3, due to the
regulations of the Virginia Public j
Service Commission, which require
the sale of a transportation system j
to be advertised for 10 days. Until j
that time Mr. Arnold said he would ;
not discuss his plans of operation, but
desired the public to know that a bet 1
ter schedule would be maintained and
that the most modern type of busses
would be used. He also Indicated that
there might be some change in exist
ing routes.
Suggestions have been made that
Mr. Arnold extend the present George
town terminus of the line to the down
town business section of Washington
! over a route similar to that followed |
i by the motor busses of the Washing
ton-Virginia Railway, operating from
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania ave- j
■ nue to Falls Church and Fairfax. If J
Mr. Arnold agrees to this extension it j
i will be necesary to obtain the approval j
I of the Public Utilities Commission of!
