BELL TO CONFER
ON SCHOOL PLANS

able Funds.

In an effort to avoid delay in the
construction of new school buildings,
because bids opened recently exceeded
the available appropriations, Engineer
Commissioner Bell this afternoon will
confer at the District Building with a
group of local contractors.
The Engineer Commissioner will en-
deavor' to get the views of the builders
as to changes that might be made in
the specifications to permit Of lower
bidding.
One thought in Col. Bells mind is
that the contractors might submit
lower bids on school buildings If q
longer period of time were allowed in
which to complete the structures. The
usual time, Col. Bell said. is from to
10 months. He is considering allow
ing the builders full year, in the
hope that lower bids might be obtain.
ed in that way.
The Engineer Commissioner indicated
he might endeavor to find out how
bids in Washington are comparing
with similar work in other cities.
A week ago the bids for the new
Manor Park School were opaned and
found TO be all in excess of the avail
able funds. Three days later the same
result occurred when bids were opened
for an auditorium in Macfarland Jun
ior High School and the erection of a
new classroom wing at the same
school.

AUTOS IN VENICE
Result Is Consideration Of Building of Road Connecting City With Padua.S

 Padua.S
 Venice, Aug. 12 PN-Loss of the isolation which the City of Venice, as an island, has enjoyed for cen turies is threatened by the arrange ments which have been completed for the construction ol an automo- bile road connecting Venice with Padua. Later, it Is planned to join this road to the Padua- Milan road.
 The importance of this project arises from the fact that hitherto the City of Venice has never heen joined by road to the rest of Italy, the only communication being hy boat or by train, crossing the lagoon by means of a pontoon bridge.
 The usual polemics are expected between the proponents and the op- ponents of the plan for the "de-is- landization" of Venice. Final deci- sion on the plan rests with the gov cTnment.
