Members Council
to Discuss SURVEY

home to me that things along this
line are run very poorly in Ia
coma" was the statement of A. B.
Howe, chairman of the CONNER
cial club publicity bureau.
Il believe the matter should
either be brought up in the civic
bureau or the Members Council. ="
w. H. Pringle, vice president
of the Scandinavian-American
bank, and trustee of the club,
says: Regarding the building
of the city in the proper manner
l agree with you fully in your
suggestion that proper regula-
ton would be of great benefit to
the city.
This, of course, might be
brought about by various meth
DDS. For instance, by a board
having legal control in the mat
ter; by an advisory obard; by a
continual campaign of education.
IF some board could be APP
pointed, similar to the board of
public health, who would have
authority to regulate building, it
might produce some results.

The Members Council of the
Tacoma Commercial club tomor-
row noon will take up the plan
suggested by The Times for a
building and housing survey of
Tacoma, which has met with im-
mediate response from the clubs
trustees.
The council today invited Roy
d. Pinkerton, editor of The
Times, to present to the member
ship an outline of the plan, the
purpose of which is to stimulate,
by concerted action, the sort of
building that will be of greatest
value to the city, and to pave the
way for making Tacoma more
attractive.
More responses from CONNER
cial club trustees, endorsing the
suggestion were received today.
Most of them are of the opinion
that the survey could be carried
out most effectively by a COM
nittee either of the clubs civic
bureau or of the Members Coun-
ell.

Preliminary Census Just
Completed Shows Increase
of 5O9-Smalley School
Now Has Attendance of
Nearly 1000.

That New Britain will be still con-
1ronted by the problem of providing
school accommo dations for its ever
increasing younger, generation even
with the completion of buildings now
the works and additions to old
buildings was brought to the atten
ton of the school board again yester-
day by superintendent Stanley H.
Holmes in explaining the school
census and attendance reports at the
October meeting. Mr.. Holmes pointed
out that the Smalley school has now
the largest attendance of any grade
school in the city with a total of 913
against 787 last year. The East
street school comes next with 872.
This school for years was the largest
in point of attendance but has now
been passed by the Smalley school.
superintendent Holmes pointed out
that even with the completion of the
new Burritt school on the Farrell site
the overcrowding problem will not be
solved as the new school will be
obliged to take all the pupils from the
present Burritt school, part from the
Bartlett ad some from the Smalley.
To accommodate the pupils at the
latter school it is recommended that
two more rooms be opened, one in the
baseme nt and one by utilizing the
library room. Large increases in at
tendance is also oted at the Burritt
and Osgood Hill schools and even the
new Stanley school is affected and an
extra teacher is required there.
School Census Report
Mr.. Holmes quoted figures from the
preliminary report on the school
census, which indicates a total of
13,433 children from four to sixteen
years. This is an increase of 500 over
last year and a greater increase is ex-
pected from the final report The

GERMAN RESTRICTIONS
HARDSHIP TO HOLLAND
EBy Associated Pressl

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands. -Dutch
hipbuilders and the entire metal in
uStry have been much diSquieted by
lie recent restriction of German ex-
0rts of iron and steel to this coun-
~. Shipbuilders are already expert
ncing a shortage in profile steel and
ther essential raw materials, and I'M
ess an Improvement soon comes they
lay, despite their overloaded order
ooks, have to discharge a part of
1eir workmen. Apart from the big
emands made on German industry
the manufacture of munitions OF
ar, the latest measure is ascribed
I well informed quarters here to a
esire to hamper shipbuilding in Hol-
md now that a part of the Dutch
argo space has been acquired by the
Allies. In view of the difficulties de-
scribed and the anticipated scarcity
of iron and steel materials, the Indus
trial Commission has approached the
Minister of Industry and Commerce
with view to the erection of state
distribution bureau in this country,
~ hope is cherished that the threat
ened dangers will be warded off.
