SECTION
WANTS HIGH SCHOOL

The committee on schools Of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens
Association will ask the board of edu-
cation for q hearing to advocate the
erection Of q new high school in the
lexington section.
The committee. Of which Martin
Solem Is chairman, was authorized to
take this action at q meeting Of the
association in the Emery School last
night.
In emphasizing the need for anoth0r
high school. Selden NJ. Ely. president
OF the association, pointed out to the
members that the normal capacity of
the existing high schools Is $500,
whereas there are now approximately
$500 enrolled. He said he was not
certain whether this includes the
junior high schools. He commended that
an additional high school should be
built in lexington on the ground that
that is the largest section Of the city
without high school accommodations.
which the existing high schools are
difficult to reach.
Other Interests Discussed.
william T Foster. chairman of the
committee On postal facilities, re-
ported that lie expected action by the
post ONCE aC thorities in the near fu-
ture toward the establishment of a
branch station in the associations
territory.
The hold-up of . storekeeper and
the wounding Of a policeman near
the lexington freight yards recently
led to a discussion of the need for
more lights on lexington place.
One member complained that a
horse has recently been wandering
around the association neighborhood.
He said 1t was q source of danger to
women and children and asked that
steps be taken to ascertain the owner
and have the animals pasture limited.
There was a discussion of service on
the 6rookland car line, but no def
mite action taken. One member suE-
gested that tho conductors on the
middle-door cars should stand on an
elevation to enable them to see when
the car steps are clear before closing
the doors. He said there is danger Of
accident when the crowd in the aisle
prevents the conductor from seeing
the steps.
Twenty-seven new members were
admitted last night. G. NJ Koockogey
reported on the progress which is be-
ing made on arrangements for the
