masking the levy for building fund.-
50 rs cents on 500, we desire to hrieay
explain the reasons for such increase.
And in 80 doing I'VE would say to the Peo-
pie Of the district that We realize the
Importance Of the work Of the public
school System, and feel % some extent,
at least, the obligations placed upon us
rs 4 member Of such board, and while we
cannot hope to do for such schools half
that should be done, We want the public
to know what we do and why We do il.
We expect TO be criticized, as 1t Is impos
sible to meet evcryboay's wants, and 1T
the same time do justice TO the other
interests involved, and all we would ask
OF those who take exceptions to the ac-
tions of the board is that they consider
themselves in our position and then in
vrstizate the cause-from a reasonable
standpoint Further, we would say that,
as the law requires the secretary to make
public report of mn expenditures, you
may rest assured this will be complied
with and thai you VIII know how every
dollar Is expended
On examination of the school property
of the district, we regret to shy that we
found the same in a deplorably bad con-
dition over practically the entire district.
/ We found good aiouses recently built
damaged badly for need of paint, and
Others needing repairs, while the four
roomed house at Mt. Glare was in a de-
| lapidated condition. both inside and out.
The board realized the fact that it is
cheaper to keep the houses in proper re-
pair to preserve them, than to let them
damage by neglect, then repair or re-.
place. So it was the opinion of the board,
/ that considerable money was needed 10
place the school property the district
/ IN proper repair. However, We are con-.
fronted with the fact that the county
court for school purposes and the con-
xenience Of voters" had changed the
Boundary line between Grant and Clark
districts so as to throw Lynch mines
\ into Grant. end We were confronted with
petitions for two new schools. Under
the conditions, the board Thought it their
duty to establish these sehco.s. and 81
do so required ti.e building Of one new
house and the furnishing OF another.
To establish these schools, make the
repairs absolutely necessary and pay run
lining expenses for the year, from the
nearest estimates we could make, would
lrequire a levy of about 80 cents. And IN
order to be safe, and to make levy nm
aHquot part; We thodSht best % inasse
lit IS 1-3 cents, and then use the surplus
| in painting some of the houses that are.

departments At Clerk
three o'clock every Saturday after
noon, instead of at four o'clock, as on
other days. Secretaries Root and
Moody discovered that the law pro-
vided that clerks should work seven
hours every day except Sundays and
holidays and, after mature delibera-
ton, they regretfully determined that
it was beyond their discretion to close
the war and navy departments early
on Saturday.
For day or two there was great grief.
Then some ingenious clerk bethought
himself of paragraph hidden away in
the new code of District of Columbia
statutes adopted by congress two years
ago. That paragraph, in dealing with
negotiable instruments, declares that
besides the usually recognized holidays
the Fourth of July, Christmas, New
Years, Decoration day, Washington's
Birthday and Labor day-"every Sat-
urday after II o'clock, noon," shall be a
holiday in the District of Columbia for
all purposes. That was poser for the
cabinet lawyers. They turned it over
to their own legal advisers to investigate.
and now the clerks who had expected to
be deprived of their extra hour once a
week during the summer, are looking
forward Ito a Saturday half holiday all
the year round.
