OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
What the Building Inspector Himself Says
Of Them.

| What the Building Inspector Himself Says
Of Them.
u thought" said Building Inspector En-
| twisle today to q STAR reporter, .that last year
was the top notch for building operations, but
SO far this year we have exceeded in value that
period by several hundred dollars. We are
busy now, and the outlook seems to favor Q
healthy increase. The northeast and southeast
sections have gone ahead like magic in the erec-
ton Of moderate-sized houses. The increase
In population for those sections has been so
rapid of late that the necessity for new school
buildings is apparent and the time is near
at hand when demands for additional school
room will be made
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
81 don't want to appear egotistical, but in
connection with our public school buildings
let me say that our present ones are without
peer in these United States. Recently dis
tlnguished London gentleman on q tour of in
spection of school buildings in this country
told me that he had carefully looked over our
buildings and he frankly stated that the WASH
ingtOn buildings surpassed any he had yet
seen. You are said he. twenty years ahead
of London i have always been in favor Of
eight-room two-story buildings and plenty Of
them. They are the most convenient, service
able and less expensive buildings for school
-
East Washington high school and the colored
high school building on NJ street near New
Jersey avenue northwest will be models, and in
my opinion will be SO considered by the public
when they are completed.
HEALTHY GROWTH TO PROSPERITY.
Washington is on healthy growth to pros
perity, and find that each year surpasses the
preceding one in valuation Of property and in
continued increase of building operations. 1
forgot to say that feel battered by a request
from school men of Lynn, Mass, to furnish
them with the plans of one Of our eight-room
school buildings. The committee from Lynn
when down here recently made a careful ex-
animation of the schools. and little realized
than such an intellectual town as Lynn would
ever dream of asking Washington for plan Of
one of its eight-room school buildings. This
gives an idea, however, of the esteem shown
Us. and Washing tonians are generous enough
to aid others in setting forth the example she
shows"

Three Families With One Head.

Residing near Napoleon, Ohio, is Mich'l Cramer
and three wives. They all live on $50 600 farm
and three houses are used by the three families
with one head. Cramer brought his second
wife to the farm in 1879 and placed her in a
coy house he had erected for her. Wife No. l
offered no objection. He was arrested at the
time, however. and tried for bigamy but es-
capped on n technicality. In 1881 Cramer
brought his third wife to the farm. For some
cause no action was taken until Monday when
the county prosecuting attorney completed an
investigation and prepared evidence to lay be-
fore the grand jury.

is much criticised by all those interested in
the cattle trade. However stringent the
precautions that might be enforced, 1t ID con-
sidered beyond all doubt that this concession
must, in the long run, weaken and possibly ss-
