VIII Meet in Parker Avenue
Building at 8 O'clock
This Evening.

First steps to consider plans for
school extension in Mortified will
be taken tonight, when the Board
Of Education will meet with City
Council in the Parker avenue
school. Principal Charles NJ. Kces-
ge, in his reports, has declared that
the school population Of Mortified
has overfowed the. buildings, md
that steps TO care for the accomIno-
dation of students who will enroll
during this and The coming year
must be taken.
1t is expected that those attend.
ing the meeting will discuss the ied-
visibility of building additions 10
the present buildings, or another
school house in the city, to care fer
the Increase in school population.
Although ii was thought that the
Parker avenue building would care
for the increase in students for a
number of years to cone, the build
ing there, as well as the Mill road
school, has been overcrowded By
children of the many families who
are moving into the community.
To relieve the congestion, Princi-
pal Kresge has found it necessary
to place two Of the rooms in the
Parker avenue building on part
time. They are the first and sec
ond grades taught by Mrs Ralph
Middleton and Miss Gertrude Hell
frich. An additional teacher, Mrs.
Frank Boldly, has been secured, aid
is teaching a full time class of first
and second grade students.
Principal Kresge states that goo
new homes have been constructed
in Mortified in less than a year,
bringing the school population of
the city to much larger number.
With the number Of developments
now under way, this increase viii
I continue, it is believed. Twelve
new students have been admitted
TO the schools of the city within
The past two weeks, Mr.. kresge
states.
II is believed that the city is in a
financial situation to build another
school or an addition to the pres
ent ones, if the Board and Council
find that such is needed. The bull
ding would be paid for through
bonding, ii is thought.

HOUSE TO EXPEDITE
PUBLIC BUSINESS
Longworth Assures Presi-
dent Major Legislation win
Not Be Delayed.

Assurance was given President
Coolidge yesterday by Representative
Longworth Of Ohio, Speaker Of tho
House, that no time will be lost by
that body in its disposing of the
major matters Of legislation during
the coming short session. He told
the President that the House leader
ship is preparing to break the record
established during the last session
in the matter of expediting its busi-
ness.
During his conference with the
President the Speaker outlined to
him a tentative legislative program
which the House leadership has de-
cided upon. He explained, however,
that this program Is somewhat in
definite and will very likely undergo
considerable alteration before the
coming session has proceeded very
far.
Appropriations Head List.
Speaker Longworth told the Pres
ident that the various appropria-
ton bills will be the first order of
business. He looks for these meas
ures to be entirely disposed of by
the middle of January. and at least
four of them will be passed before
the adjournment for the Christmas
holidays, it Is predicted. While on
this subject the Speaker explained
that the appropriations committee
now has it's bills in q state Of prepa-
ration far In advance Of any corre-
spending work in a number of years.
Confidence was expressed by the
Speaker in the belief that the Repub-
licans will be able before Christmas
to pass the alien property bill. which
provides for complete settlement Of
German claims growing out Of the
World War.
The legislative program as briefly
outlined by the Speaker, calls also
for legislation regulating radio con-
troll. The Speaker said the indications
are that there will be considerable
discussion regarding proposed tax re-
duction and that probably advocates
of the various forms Of farm relief
will have plans to offer.
Speaker Longworth personally has
formed no conclusions regarding def
mite action looking toward the dis
posal of the Treasury surplus. He
said that he had not given sufficient
study to commit himself at this time
to the Presidents suggestion for turn
ing back the surplus to the taxpayers.
There will be serious effort on the
part of those Senators who have been
seeking farm relief legislation to have
something of this nature enacted at
the coming session, according to SEN
ator Borah Of Idaho, who came to the
White House today for a conference
with the President in response to a
summons from the latter. The Idaho
Senator said that the principal sub
ject discussed at this conference re-
lated to the agricultural situation and
the question of extending relief.
