Added Fire Hazard
Seen in Reduction
Of Fire Force
Randle Highlands
Citizens Hear
Wender on Suffrage
Opposition to any reduction in the
personnel of the District Fire De
partment was voted by the Randle
Highlands Citizens’ Association last
night after it was charged that such
a reduction would increase the fire
hazard and work a hardship on other
firemen. The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
A motion presented by Arthur B.
Hanson, chairman of the Laws and
Legislation Committee, opposing any
increase in the District gasoline tax
was passed. (
Wender Speaks on Suffrage.
Harry S. Wender. vice president
of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso
ciations. spoke on suffrage, opposing
the “accidental form of government
that has grown up over a period of
years in the District of Columbia.
He stated the District of Columbia
Suffrage Association would not ac
cept any form of reorganization in
the District government that does
not include local suffrage.
“Local and national representation
are wanted by people of the Dis
trict. Americans,” Mr. Wender said,
“and we are going to fight until we
get both. There is no reason why
we cannot live and vote as other
people all over the United States
do. Treatment of residents of the
District is un-American.”
T. Z. Carroll reported on the last
meeting of the federation
Coasting Danger Cited.
Lt. J. L. Norris of No. 11 police
precinct spoke on the danger of chil
dren coasting in the streets and the
necessity of policemen to watch and
guard them. He said at least three
men should be at each street where
sledding takes up two blocks or
more, and this means these police
men are called away from their
regular duties and would not be able
to police the city properly. He sug- ,
gested that government-owned
property or private property jhould !
be supplied for the sledders. Adle
bert W. Lee, association president,
stated he would appoint a committee
to confer with Lt. Norris to work out
a solution.
The sum of $5 was voted to help
defray expenses of the dedication of ;
the John Philip Sousa Bridge.
New members taken into the asso- !
eiation were T. A. Curran. Charles
Milburn, H. C. Hopkins, H. R. Baker,
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Seaman.
An entertainment and refresh
ments concluded the meeting, which
was held in the Orr School.
A. F.G. E. Head Urges
Funds for Promotions
James B. Burns, president of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employes, appealed to the
House Appropriations Committee
yesterday to adopt the Budget Bu
reau's recommendation that $3,000,
000 be provided for increased pro
motions in the Government service.
In a letter to members of the com
mittee asking that hearings be held
on the subject Mr. Burns declared
that for almost a decade promotions
“have been few and irregular.”
“We deeply appreciate the atti
tude of many of the members of
your committee in favor of segre
gation of the unused personnel bal
ances for promotion purposes, but
realize that a complete establish
ment of uniformity cannot be at
tained without additional funds.”
his letter said. "* * * Nothing will
more greatly improve the merit
system at this time than this recog- j
nition of faithful service on the
part of thousands of Government
servants who have been laboring in ;
season and out to establish the best
public service in the world.”
