The matter will be referred to the j
council of civic association now being j
formed, with a view to getting the j
; . united action of the allied bodies. j
I The proposal to operate a bus line ,
; through Lyon Park along Pershing j
j Drive was overwhelmingly defeated, j
‘ | The proposed line would he an ex- ]
■ tension of the present Fort Myer and j
j Arlington line running to George-j
; town. The possible effect of the com- j
i petition of such a line upon the rail- :
1 | road company was pointed out by j
several speakers, the present serv
ice rendered by the car companv be
ing highly commended, and consider
ed as ample to serve the interests of
the communit- ••'•thing tending to
curtail the car service was looked
upon as detrimental to Lyon Park, j
and such a bus line would not ade- j
quately supply the deficiency. Per- j
[ shing drive was also thought to be |
! too narrow to accommodate the wide j
. busses now being used by the com- i
. panv operating the line, and -would 1
constitute a dangerous menace to |
other vehicles and pedestrians. Street |
parkin.- of automobiles would also be.
impossible.
Complaint of the unsightly con- I
dition existing around the Lyon Park ;
’ station was registered, and the sani- ;
tatlon committee was instructed to.
take steps to have the station cleaned I
I up. Scattering of wrappings from j
newspapers was the principal cause j
■ of complaint. The committee was also j
■ requested so interview the Washing :
ton-Virginia Railway officials concern-.
