ATTACKS REPAIR
SYSTEM IN
SCHOOLS
Engineer Calls It Extravagant.
Sees Danger to Pupils in
Gas-Lighted Rooms.

Charging inefficient methods, and
a wasteful system. in handling Dis.
trict school repairs and construc-
ton, John S. Hodgson, Of the Pub
lie School Associations committee
on Health and Sanitation today de.
clared that 1.-THE repair shop sys.
tenn used in the District has been
found extravagant and unsatisfac-
tory and has been discarded in
other cities"
Hodgson, formerly a municipal
engineer Of Boston, attacked. the
repair system in q report sub
mitted to the Health and Santa
ton committee. He proposed as
q remedy that all repair and con.
struction work be done by private
contract and competitive bidding.
and that the District school system
maintain its own force only for
minor repairs.
Mr.. Hodgson said that the plac-
ing Of lights in the schools was
not a repair job. Instead, he said,
It was a construction Job. He as
serted that ventilation in the gas
lighted schools was poor, and that
steps should be taken to remedy
this situation at once.

A Skeleton Record Of
Cases Tried BY

Donald McDOu1nl-
Obiter DictulHll.

There was a lot Of people get.
ting on q northbound street car at
10Th and Pennsylvania avenue Sat.
urday morning, your honor, and
when the crowd had thinned q
little, the defendant ran past while
the car doors were open. I
hoped q Ford roadster and got
him at e street."
Defendant: II was waiting at
the south side Of the Avenue, your
honor. for the signal to go ahead.
AS soon as the traffic sign said
Go / went. When the officer
overlook me at e street and said
ia passed a street car / didn't
know what he was talking about. 4"
The court: This brings about
a very confusing situation. We
have no means Of knowing
whether a street car at q policed
intersection IL waiting to take on
passengers, or merely for the sig.
nal to go ahead. When the sig
nal is given, the automobiles pro-
eeed, and the street car may or
may not proceed with them.
Tho Cops Job.
"Somo belated passenger may
decide to alight about that time,
and the doors Of the street car
swing open as the motorist Is
running past In accordance with
the traffic signal. The officer l
likely to be pretty busy watching
four streams Of vehicles, cars pre-
pairing to make left turns, pedeS-
trians proceeding over the cross
walks, and others less thoughtful.
Yet if he sees what at a glance
looks like a violation OF the rule,
he must arrest the supposed Of
fender, although closer investiga-
ton may show that the apparent
violation was unavoidable or
practically so.
Be Careful, Anyhow.
"Such a condition makes
trouble for the motorist, the Off
Ger, the street car passengers,
and throws unnecessary work
upon the court. Some means
should be found to obviate this
confusion. and the court has no
doubt that q solution is forth
coming. In the meantime, motor
lists must exert every precaution
in the neighborhood of car stops.
This case is dismissed"
