BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.
Board Of Education to Decide Style
and Size Of Building,

The Commissioners Of the District have
written to the board Of education, asking
for information as to the size and charac-
ter Of building desired for the new Business
High School, for which ground at Rhode
Island avenue and 9th street was recently
purchased. The appropriation for the build
ing is limited to $175,0OO and Col. Biddle,
the Engineer Commissioner, says this would
allow for a two-story building and base
ment covering about 10000 square feet.
The square purchased as site for the new
institution contains about $4,000 square feet
and the question has arisen as to whether
or not 1t might be better to construct one
story and basement building over the entire
area of the lot with walls and design so
arranged that additions can be easily made
in the future when further appropriations
are made by Congress. Colonel Biddle
thought it best for the Commissioners to
ask the views of the board of education on
the subject and accordingly letter has
been addressed to 1t setting forth the facts
mentioned above. In addition the Commits
sioners ask for information on the follow
ing points:
pupils to be accommodated, with any sub
divisions of the building deemed necessary
for the different sexes. The number of
rooms desired on the first floors, stating the
character and uses Of each room. The
modated in the several rooms at any one
time. The same for the second floor, with
expressions Of opinion to the size and
arrangements of study halls, libraries and
other rooms peculiar to the character OF
business high school, or in lieu Of the
above information a reference to some
building used for the purposes mentioned
In some city not too remote, with sugges-
lions as to improvements in plan ar
rangement Of the same to suit the local con-
ditfOnS."

Death of Col. II. A. Pierce.

Col. Henry A. Pierce, who will be remem-
bered by many in the city as the assistant
financial clerk of the Senate during the
eight years from 1884 to 1892, died at his
home in Pawtucket, r. l.. yesterday from
an acute attack Of appendicitis. Since leav-
ing the Senate he had occupied the position
of treasurer and general manager of the
Pawtucket Electric Company, and to his
efforts and fine business capacity was due
the rapid and successful growth Of that
corporation. He was a veteran Of the civil
war, having enlisted in a Rhode Island
regiment when he was but sixteen years
old. By his genial disposition he made
a host Of friends, and had always been a
prominent figure in the social life of his
state. AS a Mason he had occupied the
highest positions. and in military affairs
had also kept up an active interest, being
for several years chief of staff to the gov
ernor He was fifty-six years old.

STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Response to Request Made by Takoma
Park Citizens.

Park Citizens.
The Commissioners received recently
from the Takoma Park Citizens Associa-
ton list Of streets on which 1t was de-
sired that improvements should be made.
1t was requested that the items set forth
in the communication be included in the
Commissioners forthcoming estimates to
Congress. The requests were for the open
ing, grading and regulating Of Umatflla
street from Brightwood avenue to Piney
Branch road for which $4,000 was asked;
the opening Of 9th street extended beneath
the tracks of the B. and o. railroad from
Carroll avenue to Magnolia avenue, at a
cost of SIT 900; the grading regulating and
crawling of Blair road to a width Of
thirty-two feet from Chestnut avenue to
the District line, to cost $500; to macada-
mize Oak avenue, from Carroll avenue
to Magnolia avenue, for $500; Carroll ave-
nue. from the B. and o. railroad to the
District line for $1,000, and Magnolia ave-
nue. from Chestnut avenue to Oak avenue
for 81 200.
The engineer department of the District
government considered the matter care
fully and Col. Bddle, the Engineer Com
missioner, made the following recommends
ton, which was approved by his associate,
Mr.. Mcfarland:
II move that the Takoma Park Citizens
Association be informed that the Commits
sioners cannot recommend the insertion in
their estimates to Congress of an item for
the condemnation of land for the extern
sion of Umatilla street, as they believe
that the land should be dedicated to the
District, nor for the extension Of 9TH street
for the same reason, and also because this
street Is not in accordance with the street
extension plans approved by Congress
LAS to the other items mentioned, the
work can be done out Of the general fund
for repairs to roads when the necessity
arises, the amounts involved in each case
being small. special appropriations by Con-
gress are not necessary

Will Fight for Their Vote.

Under the new registration laws of Vir-

ployed on the river boats. who make Wash
ington their headquarters while in port.
have been refused registration at Alexan-
dria, where they have always voted and
where they formerly lived, on the grounds
that they are not residents of the state
within the meaning of the law. Several of
these men own property in Alexandria and
claim that their residence here is only to
be convenient to their work, and should
they get out of employment they would at
once return to Alexandria, their home On
THESE grounds an appeal will be taken from
the decision Of the registrars to the cor
poration court.
