LACK Of FUNDSD DELAYS
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
Failure Of Appropriation Bill to

Because the District appropriation bin
is being held up in Congress nearly all

must also be held up. If the appropra-

the work to be done during the summer
months it may cause great Inconvenience

of II is of a noisy nature or Of such
character that the rooms being fixed
might have to be left empty for day or
two.
Many of the repairs are minor ones. Of
course, but others will take not little
time to complete The repairs needed
have been recommended by the board Of
education. Contracts for this work are
being drawn up and considered and all is
being done that it is possible to do until
the money is actually available.
The repairs necessary cover a wide field.
New roofs will have to be put on some
buildings. Others are in need Of new
boilers. Flooring has to be replaced in
not few rooms, and in a number OF
cases walls and ceilings need treatment
Furnaces Need Overhauling.
Furnaces have to be overhauled in nu-
merous buildings, SO that all may be In
readiness when the winds of winter ar
rive. Another sort OF repairing that is
more or less common to all buildings 10
the repainting Of biackboards.
OF course. there are thousands of things
which have to be done before the schools
reopen in order that the youngsters may
be accommodated comfortably. Some
work has to be done on the exterior Of
the buildings but the greater portion is
necessary the inside
Much of the work of repairing is done
by the jantors of the buildings. They
whitewash walls and fences. do some Of
the painting. replace broken window
panes and fix much of the furnituHe. One
of the frequent repairs necessary to fur
niture is the rescraping and revarnishing
of desk tops.
