BOARD & ROOMS
FOR NORMAL STUDENTS

While we do not anticipate
anything phenomenal ia the way
of attendance for the coming torn
of school, which opens March 80.
the correspondence now in my
hands warrants me in expecting
new students far in excess of the
accommodations now on my list
in the way of board and rooms
for new students.
No greater misfortune can hap
pen to US, now that our new build
ing is assured, than that new stu
dents coming to US should be una
bile to find plenty of accommoda
tons at reasonable figures.
We cannot safely leave this mat
ter IN the hands of those who ex
pect to make a considerable part
of their own support from renting

There are not enough of such &

Regarding Georgetown Park.

The Commissioners have received a let
ter from Thomas w. Gilmer relative to the
proposed purchase of the old Presbyterian
cemetery In Georgetown for use as a pub
lie park. The writer says he has little
knowledge about the matter. but that there
is tradition that the cemetery land would
revert to the heirs of the grantor in case
it ceased to be a cemetery. If that should
be true. the church could not convey a
good title to the property. He says he
knows some of the heirs and believes that
condemnation would be more expensive
than purchase by agreement with the own
ers. He asks if 1t would not be well, be-
fore the Commissioners make estimates
for them to have the title examined so as
to ascertain with whom the municipal au-
thorties should deal Previous papers have
been referred to the Engineer Commissioner
for estimate of cost of condemnation or
purchase of the property in question

CHARGE NoLLE PRESSED.
Witnesses Fail to Appear Against Con-
tractors Bradley and Cowarden.

The charge of violating the eight-hour
law against Sidney Clay. James Bradley
and James Cowarden, contractors in charge
OF the excavation at the new reservoirs
near the corner of 4th and College streets
northwest. was nolle- pressed in the Police
Court today by Prosecuting Attorney Null
Nlowny.
The contractors were brought into court
on charge made by Jack johnson. col
ored. who claimed that he and thirty-eight
colored men brought here from Richmond
were compelled to work ten hours per day.
The charge was dropped because of the
failure OF any of the government witnesses
to appear in court this morning, they hav-
ing been employed by the circus and left
the city Tuesday night. The contractors
claimed that they were exempted because
an extraordinary emergency existed and
1t was necessary for them to complete the
work as soon as possible. --
