Snow Law Case Heads to High Court Over City Snow Rules
District officials debate enforcing snow and ice duties after a Court of Appeals ruling placing burden on the municipality. Commissioner West urges prosecutions under existing ordinances and a new police regulation, while advocating an appeal to the Supreme Court to test the act of Congress. A letter from Orlando Lester challenges enforcing an obsolete ordinance deemed a forgery and argues it conflicts with recent court rulings on citizen rights.

Oppose Maryland Avenue Track Crossings Protest
R Harrison Johnson, chair of the Southwest Citizens Association railroad committee, objects to District Commissioners granting permission for four temporary tracks across Maryland Avenue between Ninth and Temth streets and Ninth and C streets southwest. He cites danger to life and limbs, risks to children, existing numerous grade crossings, and increased smoke, cinders, and noise. He argues the plan would crowd front doors and amount to private property confiscation, noting a past fatal accident near Ninth Street and Maryland Avenue and alleging the railroad seeks tracks for uses beyond those stated.
