Edward T Rurren, OF 124 Detroit
Street has cornrntln. Gated with the Com

reference TO the location OF the coiored
school which it is proposed to ereat near
RrockIand Mr.. Burreu states that ne IS
a citizen and taxpayer and that has views
are those of a number of colored people
OF the locality. Mr.. Burrel protests
strongly against the recommendation of
the Superintendent of Public Schools, in
so far as the same relates 10 the ioca-
tiOn Of the school
The writer does not consider Inat 10
cation to the north Of BroOkIand, on the
Bunker Hin Road, or on the site OF the
present Bunker Hin Road school, IS IN
accord with the act OF Congress Tor the
establishment OF the school in BLOCK
land for colored children inasmuch as 1t
was not the wish or intention OF the clti-
Zens who interested themselves in bring
ing about this act Of munlnCeRcS on the
part of Congress, to have q school for
the colGred children Of BrOokland locaI-
ed outside of the town, as, manifestly,
such location would not enecuyeIy re
! lieye the parents of coiored children CT
the hardships Of which they have com
plained in the past-that Of sending their
children over a great distance and over
a route that is both dangerous and diff
cult. Continuing, Mr.. BuTTeH says.
y hold that nothing short of an arbi-
trary construction of the said act Of Con-
gresS could enable the school authorities
Of the school outside of the town would
be in conformity with the spirit and let
ter Of the act, and would fully subserve
the interests of the colored citizens of
the locality. The establishment of the
proposed school would be rendered per
fectly satisfactory to the colored citizens
Of BrOOkland il the school could be To-
Gated within the following bounds:
Fourth Street north, Fourteenth Street
east, Rhode Island Avenue south, and the
tracks OF the Metropolitan branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west
THE children living to the north and
northwest OF Brookland- would be mate
rally benefited by this location, because
| the necessity of travelling the paths, by
ways, and almost unused roads which
they now travel. and which are muddy in
wet weather and dusty in dry weather,
would be obViated by a more direct route
10 the south, over roads which afford bet
ter pathways than the present routes.
Finally | submit that 1t IS much more
reasonable, since the act of Congress pro-
vides for a school for Brookland,' that
the proposed school be located IN Brook
land for the accommodation Of coIOred
children in BTOokIand rather than that
the school should be located outside of
BrOOkland for the cOlored children in the
surrounding region.
