SCHOOL IS CROWDED
PetWorth Citizens to Petition
for New Building.
PLEA FOR CROSSING MEN
Would Have Them Placed Under
Same Regulations as Reg
ular Policemen.

-Four matters Of local Importance
crowded conditions in the Petworth
School. the universal transfer bill. the
proposed change In the assessment OF
property and the elevation of the
crossing policemen on the same plane
with the metropolitan police were
called to the attention Of the Pet
worth Citizens Association at its meet
ing last night.
Because Of the crowded conditions in
the primary department Of the Pet
worth School it is necessary that the
day be divided into classes to meet
the accommodation OF extra pupils.
Many Of the students have to go all
the way into the city because there is
not the accommodation for them at the
Petworth School. This condition is
becoming more congested each month
and the school committee will make
plans to petition the board of educa-
ton to provide for either a new
building or for the rental of houses
until the conditions may be remedied
J. Walter Mitchell, president of the
Civic Improvement Association. made an
address, in which he advocated change
from the triennial assessment of property
to the annual assessment as step IN
the right direction. The ways and means
of this change caused considerable dis
cussion, with a result that the asSocia-
ton went on record favoring the change
to the annual assessments.
For Universal Transfers:
Conditions arising from the fight for
universal street railway transfers were
debated and the association voted to ia
vor a universal transfer bill and aid in
it's passage. vigorous appeal was made
in behalf of the crossing policemen, and
a motion was made that the assoc, alton
favor the plan to have crossing police
men placed on the same plane with the
regular members of the force. While his
wages are paid by tie company that hi es
him, he is not allowed the other priv
ileges, such as leave of absence on &C
count of sickness and support during ILL
ness, or on account of injuries received
while on duty. 1t was urged that all
crossing policemen be placed on the regu-
lar force with full privileges.
Progress was reported in the arrange
ments for the proposed housewarming to
be held at fire engine house No. 26, re-
Gently erected in PetWorth. While no
program has been completed. the District
Commissioners. Chief Wagner and others
will be invited. The housewarming will
