Miller substantiated his testimony

spare parts means that many vehicles

that at least half of that was rem

rooms were used during the noon
recess period for this purpose. the
rooms could not be ventilated as Is
done on the good days when they
go home.
Although originally intended as
annex to the Peabody it is really
now an annex to the Maury School
at Thirteenth and Is streets, seven
blocks to the eastward. 1t is be-
cause of the fact that the children
have to cover this distance during
the recess period which prevents
them going home in the very bad
weather.
While all of these schools are
crowded now. conditions are eX-
pected by those in close touch with
the situation to become worse in
February and in the coming Septem-
ber when the 1921 term starts.
These schools would be well filled
with children if they covered only
the territory allotted to them, but
they have to take the overflow from
other schools. which will constantly
make the crowding increase.
However. if new building is pro-
vidcd for the territory east OF
Thirteenth street there would be a
quick relief of the crowded condi-
tionS at these schools as the chill
dren could be shifted back to the
territory where they would. under

paramount of which are the elimina-
ton of the preferential system OF
choosing city commissioners and the
election of one commissioner each
year at the general election. rather
than in the spring. when all are
chosen under the present act.
He declares the preferential vot-
ing system has created much dissat-
isfaction throughout the state. that
Il has not been a success and usually
results in a minority of the voters

city. Designed 10 aid independent

Parry proposes that the fifteen
highest candidates at the primary
run at the final election in cities
electing five commissioners. and in
those electing three that the nine
highest at the primary compete for
the offices. II am opposed to the
suggested primary limiting the cleo
ton to the ten highest candidates In

right into the hands of the party
