Suburban groups plot court action to halt transfers
Brookland and Langdon representatives plan to consult with district authorities to seek relief through the courts if necessary. Citizens associations from Brookland and Langdon adopt resolutions to hire counsel and contest Judge Andersons order discontinuing transfers between Metropolitan and City and Suburban lines. A Langdon meeting creates a three member committee to coordinate with other groups and possibly court action while residents vow to oppose transfer suspensions due to property value concerns. A barn for apparatus and an entertainment fundraiser are also discussed for town protection and fundraising.
