NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Bids to Be Opened Monday Based Upon
Modified Plans.
The Lack of Appropriations Response
BILE for Curtnilment of Specifica-
tfons - The Changes Made.

Bids will be opened by the District Com
missioners Monday next for constructing
two public school houses, one of the build
ings 10 be located al I'd street and South
Carolina avenue. and the other at 18th and
Rosedale streets northeast. For the cree
ton of the first-named the Commissioners
have about s2I.5o available, anad for the
one in the northeast section about S2i, 800.
AS has been stated in The Star, bids for
the erection of these two schools have been
rejected more than once, because they eX-
ceeded the appropriation. 1t is understood
that at first the Commissioners intended,
after rejecting the bids, to lay the matter
before Congress at the next session with
the statement that they had found 1t inn
possible to erect the schools with the
amounts respectively appropriated, and
then ask for additional funds. 1t was SUD-
sequently decided, however, TO reject the
bids and invite new ones on plans prepared
in the Office of the inspector of buildings,
and it is on these office plans that the bids
to be opened Monday will be based.
The plans on which the rejected bids were
based were prepared by local architects,
who were paid out OF the APPROPRIATIONS
for the buildings, and the structures con-
templated by their plans, had they been
more ornamental and with far more at
tractive eXteriors than will be If construct
ed according to those provided for in the
office plans.
The office plans as was explained to The
Stars reporter today by Mr. Snowden Ash
ford, the assistant inspector of buildings,
are expected to effect a reduction in the
amounts required to construct the build
ings of between 5000 and 5000. The
architects plans provided for four en-
frances or exits to each of the two schools
while the office plans provide for but two
one in the front and one in the rear. Had
the schools been constructed according to
the discarded plans there would have been
separate entrance for the girls and one
for the boys but the office plans call for
one common entrance and common exit.
This, however, is not the only feature in
the office plans which is regarded by many
as a serious defect in them, for whereas the
architects plans provided for two stairways,
the office pans provide but one. In addi-
ton, the buildings, if constructed accord
ing to the office plans, will be eleven feet
and the cloak rooms, being placed outside
of the school rooms will reduce the size
of the Railways to about twelve feet in
width. The outside plans also provided
for large number of brick f1ues, while the
office plans call for galvanized iron f1ues.
Mr.. Ashford stated, however. that the
size of the school rooms will remain I'M
changed. each pupil being given 25T cubic
feet of air space. The office plans, he said,
contemplate two very simple buildings in
the colonial style, about the only exterior
ornamentation being at the main entrance.
The buildings will be heated either by the
hot air system, which is now largely used
here. or by steam

posaIs Recently Received.
The proposals of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies, respect
lively, to furnish gas light to the District
during the next fiscal year at $50 per lamp
per annum will be accepted by the Com
missIoners, the Washington company light
ing about 1000 lamps in the territory east
Of Rock creek and the Georgetown COM
pany lighting about 400 lamps west Of Rock
creek. The price, 500 is that fixed by the
District appropriation bill.
The District Commissioners will also accept
the proposals of the United States Electric
Companies to provide incandescent lighting
In their respective territories at $50 per
lamp per annum, the Price allowed by the
appropriation act, and $3.50 for each ad-
ditiona1 lamp. Each of the electric light
ing companies proposed to furnish arc
lights at $9125, but as the appropriation bill
appears to allow not more than s72 for each
arc light per annum the Commissioners
have referred the question to their attor-
ney.
The provision Of the law in question is
as follows:
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia are hereby authorized to grant
permits for the repair, enlargement and
extension, under proper regulations, of eX-
listing electric lighting conduits, and in
every conduit constructed to be con-
Structed, under the provisions of this para
graph three ducts shall be reserved for
the use of the United States and the Dis
trfct of Columbia, and condition for
the right to use conduits heretofore built
or to be built under the provisions Of this
act the electric lighting companies shall
be required at all times to furnish to the
public and to private consumers in all
parts of the District of Columbia standard
lights of not less than 900 actual can
die power. at a rate not exceeding s72 per
annum for each arc light"

TAKES EFFECT TODAY.
Change in SUPPLEMENTARY of Capt.
tai RAILWAY Line.

A change in the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Capital railway street car line went into
effect today, when Mr.. Jefferson D. Newton
of Anacostia was appointed to succeed the
late incumbent and assumed charge. Mr..
Newton is division superintendent of the
Anacostia and Belt roads, and his new APP
pointment places him in charge of more
lines, it is said, than any other division su-
per3ntendent of the allied street railways.
He was superintendent of the old Anacostia
road for several years, and he is regarded
as man of good ability for this line of
work.
1t has been decided to have one of the
electric cars withdrawn during certain
hours In the afternoon. The work of low
ering the water pipes along the streets in
the southeastern part of the city where the
line of the underground electrical system
for the Anacosta road will run has been
begun. and the date fixed for the operat ton
of the road is early in October.
