MOUNT RAINIER.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md, July 26
tSpeciaD. The Mount Rainier C1ti-
zens' Association will meet at the
town hall Monday evening. Reports
from important committees are eA-
pected and refreshm will be pro-
vided A full report on the changes
in the school system to take eHect
with the new school year Will De
forthcoming. BY this change 1t Is ex-
pected room will be provided at the
Mount Rainier building for children
of the first and second grades llNlhs
near that building. By the present
system all children up to the n1tn
grade have to go to the BRENTWOOD
building, regardless of where they
live in this school district. several
accidents happened to the little ones
while crossing the main thorouSn-
fares to the school, and the mothers
.,uh took the matter up with the
citizens association. After special
meeting a delegation was sent 10 the
county school board. w. A. Vanhe-
man, chairman Of the local board Oh
trustees and chairman of the school
committee of the association, Will
make this report to the association.
BY a motion passed at the meeting
sidewalk will be laid on the west side
of Thirtieth street. from Bunker Hill
road to Cedar street, under provisions
of the revolving sidewalk fund, Whlch
provides the payment for the work
by the abutting property owners over
a three-year period.
The road force is busy grading and
rounding up the bad roadways, and 1t
is expected that by fall the roads will
again be in good shape. The vast
amount of building that has been 60
ing on here the past sSprlng mas
caused great damage to the roads the
connections with the sewer and water
system being particularly damaging
to the condition of the roads.
Although it was hoped by many OF
the towns citizens the council would
make some attempt to secure the as
sistance Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company in widening
the roadway on Rhode Island avenue
by filing in between the concrete
State road and the company's tracks
with the crushed-stone material that
was removed from this same road
system a few squares west, nothing
along this line was done. The ma
,erial is practically all removed now,
so that the possibility of the COOP
Grafton of the railway company on
this score is lost.
According to w. NJ. Vanneman,
chairman of the school trustees, the
auditorium of the new Mount Rainier
school building will be turned into a
schoolroom, because of the increase
in the number of children to attend
that school the coming session. There
is some talk of a portable building
there for the coming session. This
rapid growth in the humber OF school
children Is showing the need of some
permanent relief of the situation, and
it is expected a campaign Will oe
launched for funds for additional ia
ciIities to the present building.
