Stanton Park Citizens Ask More Money to Care for Needs Here. An increase in the 1936 District appropriation bill to properly care lor health needs here was urged last night by the Stanton Park Citizens' Association meeting in the Peabody School. Merton S. 'Chipley, who introduced the resolution adopted, declared there should have been an increase to per mit the health department to func tion properly, rather than a slash in appropriations. The reduction was made with "no explanation,” he pointed out. He deplored the proposed cut in salary of the superintendent of Gal linger Hospital. Conditions there war rant an increased appropriation, he added. House Action Discussed. Association members as a whole commented briefly on the House action in slashing the proposed 1936 Federal appropriation toward District expenses. The resolution asking for restoration of the appropriation to combat health conditions in the Dis trict was ordered sent to Senator El mer Thomas. The association irdorsed a plea by Capt. Richard Mansfield of No. 9 precinct for an increase in policemen and police squad cars for northeast Washington. Capt. Mansfield said his precinct now had but 72 officers, and asked that the number be raised to 100. He declared there are 28 schools in the northeast section, adding these could not be properly patrolled to safeguard school children with the present inadequate force. He praised the work of the school boy patrol, but said they could not take full respon sibility on their shoulders. J. F. Wondrack introduced the resolution Indorsing Mansfield's plea. Planting of Trees. Wondrack also asked that trees be planted in empty treeboxes. In front of his home at 224 C street north east, there now is no tree, he told the association, declaring he would gladly pay for the tree if the District would plant it. providing there now are no available funds for this work. A. H. Gregory, chairman of the Schools Committee, asked that the proper officials be petitioned to im prove street conditions brought on by the Winter snow, ice and rain. Mrs. Elfie A. Shea of 219 Third street northeast was accepted as a new member. Harry N. Stull, president, and Mrs. Luther H. Brown, secretary, presided at the meeting. -•— W. P. A.
