ing

with several residences in
prospects and the College build
ings, Newark promises to have a
full season in building this year.
Much of the work will be ad-
vanced so that the work will con-
tinue through the winter.

the old Dormitory. The inside
will be utterly Quilted, leaving
just the outline walls. Inside of
this will be fire proof structure
The cost of this building when

has been given the trustees tc
grade the new campus according
to the plans of the architects
This work is expected to begin
in a short while. Engineers from
Day and klauder were on the
grounds yesterday making ready
for these operations.
In addition the dormitory will
be started this summer. This
building to be located on property
between Main street and Della
ware Avenue, will cost about
$4,000.
With this operation and an I'M
usual amount of local building,
Newark will be the center of
considerable building interests.

FAIRGROUNDS
NOT TO OPEN
Ruling by Superintendent Will
Keep Sixty School
Tracts Idle.

The Fairgrounds of the public schools of
the District will not be thrown open to
children this summer.
A ruling of Superintendent of Schools
Ernest L. Thurston. just issued, puts an
end to plans to open up the sixty school
Fairgrounds for the use of Washington
children during the summer months.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, superintendent
of Fairgrounds, appealed to the Board OF
Education early in July to allow her to
use these Fairgrounds, well located, pro-
vided with proper apparatus. and Of no
use to anyone during the school vacation
period. They made no objection. leaving
the matter to the superintendent OF
schools.
Mr. Thurston finally gave Mrs. Rhodes
permission to use four of the school
grounds, provided they be closed at 4
further restricting the uses of the priv
ilege
These limitations made 1t impossible for
Mrs. Rhodes to accept the offer, so the
grounds will continue to lie idle while the
thousands of children of the District must
be taken care of in the best manner pos
sible in the ten municipal Fairgrounds.
One more playground will be added thi.
week, however. Mrs. Rhodes yesterday
was in receipt of letter from Brig. Gen.
Timothy E. Wilcox, U. S. A. retired,
stating that he had two vacant lots in
Columbia road. near Eighteenth street
which he would be. glad to have used as
Fairgrounds. merely asking that they be
kept in good condition.
BY the middle of this week the new
playground will be ready for service. ac-
