Issue Saves Situation.

By Times Special
CINCINNATI. oct. 3.-As in other
cities with a steadily growing popu-
lation. Cincinnati is raced with the
problem OF overcrowding schools. As
result, the board Of education had
been forced 70 adopt makeshifts in the
form Of portable buildings to relieve
congestion.
In this respect the situation is very
similar 20 the one existing at Indian
apolis. However. here the similarity
ends for the local board is making
every effort to Obtain relief by the
erection OF permanenr buildings. At
present eight new buildings either are
under construction or plans are in the
hands Of architects. In Indianapolis
no construction is under way and
plans for only one, new school have
been prepared.
Three years ago when it became
apparent that additional finances
would he needed properly to care FOR
the school children OF Cincinnati,
bond issue Of $1,000. 900 for a building
fund was granted by vote Of the
people Not more than one half Of
this has been used.

A year ago a determined effort to
throw the school board into politics
was made by a political machine, but

defeated by non-partizan ticket
