The Washington herald., 1911-12-07

Asserting that their business is being
ruined and that ultimately they will be
forced to abandon their shops, twenty
merchants in the vicinity of the Mckin-
ley Manual Training School in a protest
to the board of education yesterday ur-
gently requested that the cooperative
lunChroom in tine high school be abol-
iShed.
1t was pointed out to the hoard that
as there is no profit sought. no rent to
be paid, and salaries are eliminated, the
high school lUuChroom can sell at cut
rates which spell ruin to the restaura-
teurs. confectioners. and other shopkeep-
ers whose customers are almost entirely
composed of pupils.
Sells at Cut Rates.
Although the cooperative lunChroOm
was inaugurated only two months ago,
the merchants assert, they already have
sustained serious financial losses. In the
high school lunchrOom coffee, sand
wiChes, cakes. and other foods and deli
cacies are sold a approximately half the
price charged in restaurants and con-
fectioneries.
The high school lunch is conducted by
teachers and pupils and the salaries in
Cidental TO the ordinary business estab-
lishment are eliminated. The protest of
lIle merchants was referred DS lIe DOdTO
TO the committee on normal, high, and
manual training schools, which is ex-
pected to act within few days.
Miss Davis, principal of the Emery
School, requested the board to grant the
use of the school building to the boy
pupils in the evening. She gave num-
ber of reasons why the boys would derive
benefit by being allowed to congregate
in the school at night, and said she did
not believe they would take an undue ad-
vantage of the privilege. The matter
was referred to the corporation counsel.
a bit of advice was asked of the board
by the Commissioners who want to know
whether it is cheaper to buy coal by the
ton or in gross, according to it's heat units
BY an analysis of coal ii can be deter
mined just what amount Of heat a ton
will yield. Una bic to answer whether
the fuel is cheaper by the ton or heat
units the board referred the query to the
committee on buildings, sites, and janitOrs
for investigation.
