The District COMMISSIONS are con.
f1dent they will be able to let contra CTS
without waiting for Congress 10 meet
in December. for the erection of the
three new school buildings which have
been delayed because the original bids
were in excess of the ava lila BILE sppro-
priations
Engineer Commissioner Bell eI-
planned today that the three build

way that contra ctors may bid On all
three structures as one project. on
any two OF them or on one Of them.
Provision also has been made in the
new bids TO enable a contractor to
offer to build either complete eight

rooms, or just the eight ciassrooms.
Success is Expected.

alternative propositions the Commits
sioners are practically certain they
will be able to let the contracts when
the new bids are open September Is.
This will make II possible TO begin
construction work early in the Fall.
When Congress convenes. the Com
missioners will seek the additional
amount needed 10 put IN the small

ton are to he erected al Ninth and
Ingraha streets, Fifth and Critter-

Municipal Architect Harris said TO-
day the low BID received YESTERDAY for

head of the coast guard service. In
previous years there usually We're =
dozen vessels in rum row on the wes1
coast. while now there are never more
than two or three that need watching.
The decrease has been proportional on
the east coast.
Count Posse points out that in 1929
the authorities confiscated 900
Hters of Illegally imported liquors,
while last year the amount fell off n
10000 liters. The indications for this
year. he said. are that these figures
will be cut in half.
This particular work of the coa ST
guard service is expected to become
easier when the Helsingfors conven-
ton, signed recently by the Swedish
government. goes into effect. The

Thieves.

Shocking vandalism is reported to
have occurred at the scene of the
wreck Of the Shenandoah, throngs of
people swarming over the broken
parts and stealing not merely frag
ments of the shattered structure and
torn covering but instruments and
papers. souvenirs" of the tragedy.
Despite the efforts of volunteer and
later assigned guards to protect the
debris from the crowd, quantities Of
materials have been ripped loose and
picked up and taken off, probably
never to be restored.
While much of this stuff that the
vandals have taken is worthless, some
of it is of Importance. From the exact
materials of the wreck in its original
condition might be deduced the specific
or first cause of the collapse, perhaps
leading to improvements in construc-
tion in later aircraft of this design.
After the fingers of souvenir thieves
have picked up and wrenched off bits
of the wreckage, however, the chances
