CLEANUP" IN SCHOOLS
FOLLOWS PROMOTIONS
Change of Pupils From One
School to Another Means
Work for Officials.

Cleaning up the wreckage left from
the midyear promotions and gradua>
tions.''
That is the way one Of the local public
school officials termed the vast amount
of work which was done in the schools
today, after all the activities of the last
few days, in which the body of the Dis
trict's school children, more than $4,000
strong, were shifted from one school to
another, and from one room to another;
graduating from the ranks of the grades,
or were sent out into life from the high
school walls.
Because of the lack of teachers many
scholars had to be turned away from the
Western High School and sent to other
high schools. Congested conditions are
also prevailing at Business High School,
because of the deficiency numerically of
the teaching staff, although by enlarging
the classes the number of entrants have
been looked after all right SO far.
Twelve Hundred at Business.
Business High School received about
262 pupils in all, bringing its enrolment
up to almost 200 pupils. Mckinley Man
ual Training School received about 80.
making its total enrolment about 1000.
At Central High School about 125 boys
and girls made application for admission.
The readjustment Of programs, teachers.
grades and SO forth has caused every
member of the school system to work
much harder than during the usual rou-
tine work of the scholastic year. The
fact that additional efforts are being
made to conduct the school system on as
economical basis as possible has not
lightened the work Of those in charge, by
any means.
In all the high schools today confer
ences were being held between principals,
teachers and pupils in efforts to effect
satisfactory adjustments.

NEW YORK, February 2.-Twenty-five
thousand dollars is the estimated cost OF
the annual banquet of the sheriff's jury

The guests included business men, law
yers financiers, politicians and men Of
prominence in the sporting world.
In theory the sheriff's panels are COM
posed Of the city's most prominent men,
whose interests are SO great that they
would be jeopardized by the time re-
quired by ordinary jury work. BY being
placed on the sheriffs list they are eX
empted from ordinary duty. New York
city is the only place where these per-
manent sheriff's panels are permitted.

DISTRICT BILLS ARE
REPORTED TO SENATE
Measure Affecting Crossing
Policemen Among Those
Favored by Committee.

Ihat crossing policemen In the District
will soon have the same pay and the same
allowances for leaves of absence as mem
bers Of the regular police force was indi-
Gated today, when the Senate District
committee acted favorably on the House
bill giving crossing policemen the same
status as regular bluecoats.
This bill was passed by the House Tues
day, and the Senate District committee
decided to recommend that the Senate
agree to the House bill:
The passage of the bill is over the pro-
test of the District Commissioners. The
heads of the District, government did not
believe the duties of the crossing police
men entitled them to all the emoluments
and privileges received by the regular po-
licemen.
subcommittee on police and fire depart
ments, will make the report to the Sen
ate.
Roads to Barry Farm Subdivision.
The committee also gave its approval
to the bill recently introduced by Sena-
tor Gallinger authorizing the opening,
widening and extension Of highways with
in and adjacent to the subdivision of the
Barry Farm; and Senator Gallinger will
report it to the Senate with the recon-
mendation that 1t be passed.
This bill is urged by the Commissioners
on the ground that sewer and water
mains cannot be extended to residents of
quired by the District. and that the ex-
tension of the mains is necessary for the
proper safeguarding of the health of the
jewellers in the subdivision.
An o. x. by the committee was put on
the bill proposing to pay Elizabeth L. w.
Bailey. administrative of the estate of
the late David w. Bailey, So, 1915 to set
tie claim under a paving contract made
against the District by; Mr.. Bailey.
Notices as to Land Condemnation.
Accepting the disapproval of the meas
ure by the District Commissioners, the
committee also decided today to report
adversely ON the bill proposing to amend
the code Of law regarding the giving of
notice to owners of land to be acquired
by condemnation for the extension, OPEN
ing or Strengthening OF an alley or minor
street. 80
The code now provides for notice by
publication and for personal service,
whenever practicable. in the judgment Of
the court, upon the owners Of the fee Of
the land to be condemned. The bill pro-
poses to amend the section so as to require
personal service of notice not only on the
owner of the fee Of the land to be con-
demned, but also upon such owners of the
land fee abutting or adjoining the alley
or minor street to be opened, improved or
extended as may be found by the mar
shall or his deputies. -
In recommending against the passage OF
this bill, the Commissioners pointed out
that the United States Supreme Court has
twice passed upon the present provision
and held the notice required to be suf-
icient It IL also held that the giving Of
personal notice to the owners Of nearby
property would be practically impossible
