Children Exposed to Danger.

The children from East Hyattsville.
where it is proposed to erect. another
school building, are compelled to cross
the tracks Of four railways twice a day.
There are 100 of these children, and the
danger to which they are exposed every
day has emphasized the Importance Of
the proposed new school. The construc-
ton of the proposed school would re-
lieve the crowded condition In the pres
emit building. The committee recon-
mends that the new building contain six
rooms. The argument is made that the
prosperity of Prince Georges county de-
ponds upon the growth of the suburban
towns, and people come from the city
to live in many instances on account OF
their children. SO that the children must
have the advantage OF school in order
to attract their parents. 1t is under
stood that the county school commits
sioners favor the erection Of a school
in East Hyattsville. An invitation will
be extended to both the county and
school commissioners to visit Hyattsville
and look over the situation.
State Senator Charles A. Wells states
that early in the coming session Of the
recting the county commissioners to is
sue bonds in the sum of 100000 for the
construction of improved highways
throughout Prince Georges county. 1t
divided equally among the four road dis
tricts as at present constituted, and
that the money will be expended under
the direction of the board of road direct
ors, created by act of the legislature in
1910. Under the provisions of the Wells
road law no more than 20 cents on each
$1OO can be levied for road building, and
Senator Wells claims that an additional
5 cents on the SEQ will pay the interest
on the proposed bonds and also create a
sinking fund, which, properly invested,
will be sufficient to cancel the bonds at
maturity, in twenty or twenty-five years.
He states that the construction of i'm
proved roads in Prince Georges county
would add thousands of dollars to the
assessable basis. thereby decreasing the
tax rate and making it easier for the
taxpayer. 1t is claimed the farmers
would find decided advantage in SUBJ
stantial roadways in getting their gar
den produce to the Washington markets,
and that these roads would add cOnsid-
erably to the value Of all farm lands in
the county.
The town of Hyattsville has been au-
thorized to borrow 10000 per year on
q basis of little over one millicn-dol-
lar assessment for the construction of
permanent roadways within the corpor-
ate limits. and this fact has been cited
as an additional reason why the tax
payers of Prince Georges county would
not object to borrowing 100000 on an
assessable basis of over $IO,0O0,O00.

the difference in appearance of the

EVANSVILLE, Nd,
December %, 1911.
The proposition to erect a high school in
this place for the accommodation of pupils
from Bladensburg, Chillum, Hyattsville
and Evansville election districts probably
will fail because of the opposition which
has been developed to any further coun-
ty bond issue for schools. 1t is claimed
that the present school laws are sufficient
to establish a high school anywhere in

there are 381 pupils in attendance. Every
room is filled, and some Of them over
crowded. To provide accommodations for
sixty-eight little children of the first
grade it became necessary for the trus-
playroom in the basement, and this ar
rangement deprives the children of rec
reation space in bad weather. The re-
port states that a number of citizens OF
the town are keeping their children away
from school or sending them to Wash

seats where the public can enjoy
bit of rest time amid beautiful sur
roundings.
There is perhaps no better illustration
to be found In this country of the radi-
cal change in such particular than In
South Washington and the section
between Potomac Park at 14th street
and eastward to Garfield Park beyond
New Jersey avenue. The new rail-
way lines practically follow those of
the old routes along Maryland avenue
from the bridge and thence down Vir-
ginia avenue to the outskirts OF the
city. These broad thoroughfares. with
the spur down 9Th street to the sta
ton Just south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., formerly were occupied by net
work Of tracks, with tower houses
and poles and tumble-down fences, and
ali the disorder and frowsiness of a
place where much work Is done. and
where there is no cleaning-up day and
no one to care whether there is or
der and cleanliness.
The Vanished Grade Crossing.
In those days the street cars passed
over crossings at grade, where there
were gates and watchmen and where
the gates were down if 1T happened
to be convenient just then for the
yardmaster to use the space for max
| ing up a train. However, the change
in that particular, although an i'm
portant one. was no more important
than the change in the railroad sur
| roundings in general For now. instead
| of the railroad tracks being detriment
| and an eyesore in residential dis
trict, attractive park spaces and
stretches of lawn and foliage plants
are to be seen bordering the railway
| line. Even where the granite retain
! ing walls Of the elevated tracks come
out to the street line the walls have
neither the height of the adjacent build
ings nor have they the depressing eff
| feet of the old-time railroad yard.
The railroad enjoys the unusual eX-
perience of having a handsome ap-
proach to the city. because the bridge
across the river and the embellishments
through Potomac Park. with its drive
l ways and lake and swelling expanse of
lawn. To a large extent such surround.
ings continue after the tracks pass to
| the east Of 1ath street, where they are
below grade until after 9th street Is
passed. and then they come TO the sur
face and continue overhead for the ball
ance. of the way until the tunnel under
Capitol Hill is reached. -.
