sponsibility to answer in damages for
personal Injuries or property damage.
The meeting also witnessed re

the city traffic lights at the North
Capitol and R streets and the Lincoln
road and R street intersections.
Claiming tne District is financially
able to pay for such improvements,

"William A. Van Duzer asserting the
government was unable at this time
to secure funds for the proposed in
stallation of lights, at the same time
reading figures on government in
come and expenditures to show mis
allotmenfrof funds.
Following the annual reports of
officers, the association heard a talk
by Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, director of
medical instruction of schools.

TRINIDAD CITIZENS
HIT JACOBS REPORT
Heavy Barden Declared Already
on Citizen* in Police and Fire
Protection.
The Trinidad Citizens’ Association
last night bitterly opposed the recom
mendations in the Jacobs Committee
report.
John H. Thomas, in making a mo
tion to oppose the report, said the citi
zens of the District of Columbia are
now burdened with most of the cost of
policing the city and furnishing it with
fire protection. The Federal Govern
ment, he said, should continue the
policy of sharing the expenses of oper
ating the city’s government, j
Other members of the association
voloed the opinion that property own
ers are “overtaxed” and the Federal
Government should re-establish a
more liberal lump-sum plan.
A resolution urging Increases in sal
aries for District Jail employes was
adopted. In the copies to be forwarded
to the Senate and House District
Committee; it asked that the em
ployes of the penal Institutions be
placed on equal basis with other Fed
eral and District employes.
The group requested District Com
missioners to replace the "buttons" on
all street car loading safety zones.
The delegate to the Educational
Committee of the Federation of Citi
zens' Associations was Instructed to
urge the organization to support the
repeal of the so-called “red rider.”
