Glover Park Citizens
Ask Action on Poor
Street Lighting
Capital Transit Co.
Informs Members of
Additional Service
Insufficient street* lighting at
Thirty-ninth and Calvert streets
N.W. and the danger of low-hanging
tree limbs to pedestrians going
through the Glover Park section
were criticized by the Glover Park
Citizens' Association at its meeting
last night in the Industrial Home
School.
W. C. Cunningham urged the
Streets and Sidewalk Committee to
obtain action on these conditions at
once.
A letter from the Capital Transit
Co., replying to a request of the as
sociation that more Wisconsin ave
nue cars be provided for school chil
dren in the morning rush hour,
pointed out that an additional trip
has been scheduled to pass Wiscon
sin avenue and P street N.W. “in the
period from 8:30 to 8:45 am. with
headway adjustments based on traf
fic checks.” Members said the serv
ice has greatly improved.
Community House Request Relayed.
A communication from the Dis
trict Commissioners assured the as
sociation that its request for a
community house, to be erected on
ground owned by the public, adjacent
to Glover Park, had been referred to
the Community Center and Play
ground Department for consider
ation.
The association elected the fol
lowing officers: F. W. Fairchild,
president; Laurence M. Brown, first
vice president; O. E. Carlton, second
vice president; M. J. Wright, secre
tary; H. O. Kephart, treasurer, and
W. C. Drury, sergeant at arms.
A request for repair paving be
tween Thirty-ninth and Fortieth
streets on Calvert street N.W. was
referred to the Streets and Side
walks Committee.
Committee Appointed.
W. C. Cunningham. D. N. Camp
bell, Mrs. H. O. Kephart and Mrs.
James A. Hayes were appointed as
a committee to select the best de
corated Christmas tree in the
Glover Park area, to compete for a
city-wide prize.
The association presented the In
dustrial Home School with a check
for $25 as a Christmas present to
the children and payment for use
of the school, In which It holds Its
meetings.
The meeting was adjourned with
a party presented by the school
children. Refreshments were served
by the association.
Money goes a long way when you
send 11 to The Star's Christmas
Heart Fund. You'll spread the sea
son s gladness to some one needing
help.
Bids Opened for Bridge
On Massachusetts Avenue
Contract for construction of the
new Massachusetts Avenue Bridge
over Rock Creek is expected to be
awarded by the Commissioners
within a few days.
Bids were dpened yesterday at
the District Building, revealing that
two contractors were close on their
offers. Ten bids were received.
On the base bidding the lowest
offer came from the Diamond Con
struction Co. of this city, the price
being $469,703.41. The next low on
this basis was Potts & Callahan
Contracting Co., Inc., of Baltimore,
with $469,83150. -v.
There was an alternate bidding,
however, on the construction of a
33-foot detour trestle to serve as a
traffic by-pass for the present cul
vert while the new span is being
erected. The base bid called for a
22-foot trestle. On this basis the
Diamond Co. submitted an addi
tional charge of $13,480, and the
Baltimore Arm listed $8,000 extra.
It appeared that If the alternate
bids were adopted, the lowest price
would be that of Potts & Callahan.
The project is designed to relieve
the bottleneck? now existing in the
Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway
drive under the line of Massachu
setts avenue N.W.
