borough of Maryland to call upon the
War Department to transfer. without
prejudice. Maj. J. A. Dapray. U. s. A..
retired, military instructor at the col
lege.
Among the trustees opinion was di-
vided as to when the transfer should be-
come effective. President Patterson
announced that a request under the
resolution would be made for an i'm
mediate transfer. while James McC.
Trippe insisted that a transfer should
not be made until the end of Maj.
Dapray's three-year detail. some time
next December.
1t was admitted on both sides that
the action of today was the result of
authorities at the college. Gov. Colds

ported by Robert w. Wells. Washing

ing the meeting, but was not called in.
Nine Votes Necessary.
After the meeting. Mr.. Wells con-
tended that the vote was not large
enough to carry the resolution legally,
claiming that nine votes out of the full

seventeen members. a majority of
whom would be nine. The paragraph

Maj. Dapray's friends rely on to defeat
the action taken today Is as follows:

WILL ASK $3OO,0O0
FOR THE SUBURBS
Extensive Street Improve
ments Are Planned by the
District Commissioners.

The largest suburban street improve
ment schedule ever carried in a Dis
trict budget is expected to be included
in the next annual estimates now be-
ing prepared by the Commissioners.
AS compared with an appropriation
of approximately $4,000 for suburban
streets carried in the current appro-
priation act, the next budget will call
for 100000 to be spent on the thor
ouehfares in the outlying sections, ac-
cording to the present plan of the
Commissioners The biggest portion OF
this amount will go for streets in the
northeast and southeast sections
The Commissioners also practically
have determined to ask for big park
in the northeast section Of the city
What site is to be recommended has
not been determined.
Capt. Anderson to Report.
The decision to ask for a big
suburban street appropriation is the
outgrowth largely of an exhaustive
study made by Capt. w. d. A Ander-
son, assistant engineer commissioner
of conditions in the suburban areas
Although Capt. Anderson will leave
the District service October 6, on ac-
count of having been ordered to Pana-
ma, he will have placed in the hands
of the Commissioners before that time
a complete report of his investigation
In ascertaining the street needs of the
outlying districts, Capt. Anderson con-
ferred extensively with citizens and
made a personal inspection of every
street recommended for Improvement
His conclusions already have been
roughly outlined to the Commissioners
and approved.
Estimates to Be Ready Early.
Commissioner Newman last night said
that the estimates this year would be
completed far in advance of the usual
time, which is about october Is. Such
rapid progress has been made, he said
that the board expects this week to
begin inspection of streets recommend
ed for improvement by citizens asso-
