D. C. PURCHASE
OF TRACTION
LINE URGED
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens AttoHation Editor
After protesting the announced
intention of the Capital Transit
Co. to abandon the $1 weekly
pass January 3. The Columbia
Heights Citizens Asociatlon, at
last night’s meeting in the fourth
Presbyterian Church Hall, unani
mously approved a resolution by
Marie Flynn Maddox urging the
Public Utilities Commision to per
mit no change in the street car
and bus fares until a true valua
tion of the company properties
can be obtained.
Another resolution petitioned
Congress to take over the street
car and bus system and authorize
their operation under public
ownership. The resolution de
clared the transit company had
not kept the terms of the agree
ment entered into at the time of
the merger to improve the service,
but instead had ignored the rights
of citizens by extending the use
of one-man cars.
A resolution by Lillian Cheno
weth was adopted approving the
action of the District Commission
ers in refusing to grant a permit
to Adolph Gobel, Incorporated, to
operate a slaughter house and
meat packing plant on Bennings
Road. A counter resolution by W.
L. Swanton approving the pro
posed plant received no second.
Elwood H. Seal, Corporation
Counsel, explained several bills
sponsored by the Commissioners,
which failed to pass during last
session of Congress and are to
be reintroduced at the coming ses
sion.
Among those he listed for a
public hearing are the magistrates
courts bill; annual inspection, of
automobiles; construction of sub
ways; lunacy, and a farm for care
of habitual drunkards and dope
fiends.
Jesse C. Suter urged the as
sociation to support national rep
resentation for the District in
Congress.
The Retired Firemen's Associa
tion of the District will meet to
morrow at 8 p. m. in Typograph
ical Union Building. P. W. Nich
olson, president, will preside.
SUSPECBTALK,
SAYS CHIEF
•
Two youthful suspects, alleged
members of the ‘‘riding habit
gang” who were returned here yes

Thompson, chief of detectives, an
nounced today.

Berger. 18, are charged with kid
naping a sentry at Fort Myer and
robbing him of his pistol and am
munition; of kidnaping and rob
bery of a couple in Rock Creek
Park; of the kidnaping and rob
bery of two couples down Mem
orial Highway, and of the robbery
of a New Hampshire Avenue mar
ket, Inspector Thompson said.

rested here last week and on in

The Briggs Manufacturing Com
pany today prepared to distribute
a 81,000,000 Christmas bonus to
27,000 employes in its automobile
body plants in Detroit and Evans
ville, Ind. The bonuses, payable
