With the Potomac River back to its

from the heavy rains of last night,
it was announced at the weather bu
reau. Officials there declare it would
take three or four days of extremely

Canal Repairs to Cost S50.OOO.

the cost Of repairing the waterway

have completed their survey of the

of the repairs to be made on the Ches-

hand, reports from the upper valley
show that the loss above Washington

A delegation of officers of the pub
lie night schools lodged Il protest
with the appeals committee of the
board of education yesterday after
noon against a rule which limits teach
ers to four consecutive years of serv-
ice in either the night or summer
schools if they teach in the day
schools. They told the committee
that the rule is handicapping the
