Beams For New School
Building Arrive

The first carload of steel beams to
be used in the construction of the new
school building arrived in Alexandria
yesterday and is being unloaded by the
King Lumber Company, contractors,
today. 1t had been reported that de-
livery difficulties had been holding up
work on the new building to such an
extent that it might not be ready by
the opening of the next school term
about the middle of next September.
G.. w. North, superintendent OF the
work being done here, stated this
morning that this was not the case
and that, barring some unlooked-for
delay, the building would be ready for
occupancy when the term opens. He
stated, however, that work had been
hampered to some extent in that the
steel beams were hard to get from the
factories due to the demands being
made upon thm Just at this time. The
load received yesterday will be enough
to hold the workmen until the tops Of
the walls are reached.
The foundations have been com
pleted, the bricks for the walls of the
basement have been laid, and today
the beams are being placed and work
on the walls is progressing rapidly.
At the present time the contractors
are employing force Of some thirty
men, and now that the material has
arrived several more bricklayers will
be employed. The walls both inside
and out. are to be finished in brick
and therefore when the walls are COM
pleted the building will be practically
finished.
The building vii contain sixteen
rooms with capacity of twenty-five
pupils each, thus enlarging the Alex
andria School system some four hun
dred pulls. With these additional
accommodation children in the lower
grades will all be assured Of a full
days schooling next year.

4,2l4PERSONS
CAN VOTE ON
JUNE THIRTEEN
Largest List of Qualified
Voters in History
of City
1S41 WHITE WOMEN
Only 65 More White Men Qualified
Than Women and ~ More COlored
Women Than Men.

Exactly 4.214 persons are quail
fed to participate in the election
which will be held June 13 for the
purpose of electing five councilmen
to serve the city of Alexandria for a
term Of four years under what IS
known as the council manager plan.
The foregoing number had qualified
December II, six months prior to
the election. Since December II,
1921. approximately 500 additional
have qualified. They. however, will
not be able to take part in this COM
ing election but will be able to par
ticipate in the election which will be
held next November The supple
mental list of 500 is of May 8, 1922.
The present list of qualified vo-
ters in the city is the largest in the
city's history and this is accounted
for by the women who have quail
fed in goodly numbers in each and
every ward of the city. The vote of
the white women in this city is al
most equal to that of the men, the
number of men being 1906 and the
numbr of women 1871, leaving the
men with the small margin of sixty
five majority ahead of the women.
The total colored vote in the city
is exactly 444( and the women lead
in this vote, they being in the ma
iority by xactly TIA. The qualified
male colored voters is 1S5 and the
qualified females colored voters is
259.
The white vote by wards follows:
First, 397 men; 435 women; second,
1886 men; 949 women; third. 629 men:
604 women; fourth, 495 men; 453
women. In addition to all of the
above enumerated there are twenty
three men who have just become of
age who are qualified making the
grand total 4214 voters.
In only one ward of the city are
the women voters in the majority
and thaut is in the first where they
run ahead by thirty-eight votes.

1t is earnestly hoped that all their
