Dinicult Problem.
The school program is one of the
largest factors in the DISTRICTS an
nual budge& and the question OF limit
ing the school estimates is the most
difficult problem facing the Commits
sioncrS.
The Commissioners in drafting their
estimates for the next fiscal year
have not overlooked the necessity
for improving the condition of the
Streets and roads of the city.
The to.al estimated sum for new
streets. repairs to existing surfaces
and upkeep of suburban roads prob
ably will run close to a million and
half.
Sums Appropriated.
For the past two years Congress
has net cut the lump sum of S515.000
fer rei.airs to streets and the s250.00o
fund for urkeep of suburban roads.
In the mat cr of new streets. how

has been secured on blank forms used
by the postal service since January 81
last. according to a report made today

$45,913.02. and August 81, $47,131.S6,
making a total Of $135.69S.S6.
Committee Recommendation.
Under date Of February 9, 1921.
recommended the redae-
ton in size Of blank facing slips and
the extensive use OF "trip labels.
which Recommendation. based upon
the quality used during the preced-
ing year and the then prevailing
prices, would have resulted in an
estimated savings OF s51,6S4.75," re-
ported the committee.
I'VE understand that this recom-
mendation has been adopted, and the
committee feels justified in claiming
the additional saving as indicated. On
that basis the actual savings accom-
plished by and through the efforts of
the committee would amount to
$1S7.3S3.61."

PRESIDENT LAUDS
100 YEARS. PEACE
Says Unfortified Boundary,
U. S. and Canada, Shows
World Grows Wiser.

An unfortffied boundary line more
than 5000 miles long between the
United States and Canada is the best
testimony that the world grows wiser
and better, President Harding said in
letter today to be read at the dedi-
cation of peace portal in commemo-
ration Of more than a century of un-
interrupted peace between America
and Great Britain.
The Portal. to be dedicated Septem-
ber on the international line. was
conceived by Samuel Hill of Seattle.
IN recpgnitioI OF the signiacanee 81
the occasion the President wrote Mr..
Hin as follows:
.sThe ancient Romans erected tenn
pie to Janus. a dispenser Of peace and
war, and ordered that its gates should
never be closed while the nation was
at war. In seven centuries they are
said to have been closed but three
times. You have erected a temple of
peace, whose gates are never to be
for more than a century of unbroken
peace between Britain and America,
and we all join in the hope that in
coming times it may commemorate an
era of peace much longer than the
period of wars for which the Temple
of Janus Stood
Our century and more Of peace
with the British empire; our rela-
tions of unbroken amitv with Canada;
the fact that a boundary line over
3 900 miles long remains unfortified-
these are the testimonies that the
world grows wiser and better All
mankind looks to this example,
yearns to follow 1t; and we are justi-
fed to believe that a time is at hand
wien it may take a long step in that
direction. On the occasion of dedica-
ton of. the Pacific Peace Portal L
wish to convey to you personally my
high appreciation of your patriotic
service in providing a symbolic shrine
to international peace; and in doing
so 1 would also thank the Pacific
Association (the builder of
the portaD for the fine cooperation it
has rendered"
