Referred to Fire Marshal
For Investigation

Protests from two groups of
mothers marked the reorganization
meeting of the Board of Education
yesterday at which Edwin c. Ora
ham was, elected president, and
Ernest Greenwood, vice president.
Mothers of children attending the
Langdon school, termed a firetrap
for it's frame construction, came to
urge the board to close the school.
They TOLD the board they preferred
to have their children remain away
from school rather than endanger
their lives in the Langdon building.
The board finally referred the mat
ter to the office of the fire marshal
for an investigation and report on
the possibility of making the struc-
ture safe.
Park View mothers appeared be-
fore the board to protest against
the addition of another story to the
Park View School. They declared
thew preferred to have the building
remain as it is. Their request was
for an addition adjoining the struc'
ture. Mrs. John e. Bradley spokes
man for the delegation, declared
teachers and physicians had opposed
making the children climb 10 the
third floor to their classes.
The board finally voted to recon-
mend to the Commissioners that the
municipal architect be instructed to
erect an eight-room addition to the
building. This leaves the decision
as to how the addition is to be
made up to the District building
officials.
