CITIZENS OF HILLSDALE
ASK FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Four Projects Are Presented to the
Commissioners for Con-
sideration.

At meeting last evening of the Hills
dale Citizens Association held in Odd
Fellows Hall on Sumner road southeast,
the Commissioners were urged to recon-
mend to Congress the passage of four
bills, the result of which, it was declared,
would be of great benefit to the COM
munity represented by that body. These
four matters are. first the condemna ton
of all the streets and roads in the sub
urb; second, the placing of a sewer to
carry off the water in Stickfoot branch,
in order that the culvert might be filled
in and the space advantageously used;
third. the grading and improving of Sher-
idan road, and fourth. the safeguard: ng
of Stanton road, which at the present
time has such a peculiar grade that in
some places passage over it is danger

OPEN FIRST TIME THIS TERM.
Congress Heights Schools Begin
After Delay for improvements.

The Congress Heights public schools,
Nichols and Alabama avenues southeast,
was opened yesterday for the first time
this term. and the 375 scholars who have
been attending the schools in Anacostia
and elsewhere began their studies. Ten
teachers were there to care for the chill
dren and>assemble the classes
The delay in the opening of the school
was due to the placing of four-roon
addition to the original structure, anG
the complete renodeling of the ole
building.
A new heating system has been install
ed. and the scheme of lighting the build
ing has also been changed. While tho
addition has not been fully completed
which will necessitatc the using of the
portable structure for time longer. yet
it reached a stage the past week when
the original rooms could be occupied.

Why should all schools and colleges
close for two weeks during the Christ
mas season.. runs the editorial.
Would it not be more acceptable to
all concerned to have this restful re-
cess come just after the midyear eX-
aminations at the end of January,
when both students and teachers
literally are tagged out. When stu
dent returns to college from the
Christmas holidays he does not feel
much like buckling down to study.
Yet, this is just the period of the year
when the most mental work is re-
quired. and when all of us feel least
like doing it. Two weeks after the ex-
aminations as period within which to
celebrate and recuperate would be
most ACCEPTABLE"
The faculty far has given no con-
sideration to the suggestion.

Capt Doyle, lately transferred to the
tenth precinct, was present, and in re-
gard to the better lighting of 10th street
made short address to the association,
assuring it that he considered that street
north of the bridge to be very poorly
lighted, and that he would do all in his
power to procure the desired improve
ment. He further explained his efforts
for the better policing of the section and
informed his hearers that he had placed
therein foot policeman to be on duty
after midnight, where, previously no
guardian of the peace could be found
after that hour. Capt. Doyle expressed
his desire to help the Piney Branch sec
ton in all ways in his power to do so,
and said that he welcomed not only sug-
gestions, but criticism.
A letter was read from the clean city
committee desiring the opinion of the
