as fer apart as possible. The discourse was

EXteriOr Of school Building.

The committee on Schools of the Con-
gress Heights Citizens Association,
Messrs. Henry Schultheis, chairman; B.
H. White and Oscar d. Sanford-met last
evening In accordance with instructions
given by the association at its last meeting
and adopted a petition to the District Com
missioners in reference to the repainting of
the new public school building in Congress
Heights.
The petition will he laid before the
proper authorities tomorrow. 1t is in sub
stance as follows:
I'VE the committee on schools of the
Congress Heights Citizens Association
petition your honorable board to inspect
the Congress Heights school building be-
fore accepting it. The sum of s2l.oU0 was
appropriated for this building. The out
side of the structure is painted in spots
and shows very poor workmanship. and in
fact disgrace the whole building. Some
bricks are one color and some another.
We consider the school houses of Wash
ington an architectural disgrace, but
while the plan Of the Congress Heights
structure is far superior to any other
school building in the District. the paint
ing of the bricks on the outside ruins the
whole effect"

Business Meeting of the Association
Held Last Evening.


The Brightwood Park Citizens Associa-
ton turned out in force at the regular
monthly business meeting. held last night
In Felters Hall. Because Of the unavoida-
BILE absence of President Clayton. the meet
ing was called to order by the vice presi-
dent, Mr. w. F. Walsmith.
Mr.. B. F. Martin chairman of committee
on free delivery of mail, reported having
interviewed the superintendent in charge
OF the subject, as well as the city post
master. Assurance was given. he said,
that the extension of free delivery to
Brfghtwood Park and Brightwood would be
accomplished in the near future.
The school committee. through Mr.. Beck.
reported having taken steps toward secur-
ing the construction of a school building
in the park. A canvass will be made to
ascertain the number Of children who are
now compelled to travel all the way to
Brightwood school, and petition will be
prepared and signed setting forth the facts.
1t is believed that II the matter is properly
placed before the Commissioners new
buiiu.ng will be erected somewhere near
the center Of the park.
In the matter of sewers, 1t was announc-
ed that sewer construction has been order
ed and advertised as follows: Connecting
with main at corner Of Illinois avenue and
Des Mofnes street, east on DeS Moines to
9th, north on 9th to Flint. west on Flint to
Brightwood avenue. The committee was
instructed to request that Des Mofnes
street be connected as far east of 9th as
the Potomac water system extends.
On the subject of sidewalks a letter was
read by the secretary from Capt. Beach Of
the Engineer Commissioners Office, in
which he says:
II have to inform you that, although
sidewalk for Flint street was advertised
for construction, 1t was discovered just be-
fore the work was commenced that there
was a defect in the advertisement. AS
this would have invalidated the assess
ment, 1t has been necessary to readvertise.
The sidewalk is again under advertisement
and, although we will be somewhat later
than we had hoped, can promise you that
the walk on Flint street will be laid before
December II
A verbal promise has also been given to
representative members that should the
residents concerned desire it temporary
sidewalks of cement and cinder will be laid
at the same time on several other streets
without cost to the property holders. This
is the desire of the association, and the
secretary was instructed to notify the
Commissioners accordingly.
After the election of several new men,
bers and the transaction Of other routine
business the association adjourned.
