show the Senator where the city pro-
poses to lay out its new civic center OF
municipal buildings.

the various municipal agencies. includ-
ing some of those which will vacate

SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGRAM REVIEWED
ParIey Fails to Indicate When
Proposed Bill viii Go to
Budget Bureau.

After hearing a detailed review OF
the second five-year school building pro-
gram in a two-hour conference yes
terday afternoon with members Of the
Board of Education and school staff
officers, the District Commissioners gave
no indication of the time they will for
ward the proposed building bill to the
Bureau of the Budget or even II they
would send it at all.
DR.. Charles F. Carusi. president of
the Board of Education. and DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of schools.
explained in detail the various items
and purposes of the $3.50 900 pro-
gram. contending that if the bill Is
authorized and completed, Washing
tons portable and rented school quar-
terS will be cast into discard.
New Bill Explained.
The new bill. they explained, II put
into operation with the remaining por-
ton of the first five-year program would
constitute a building schedule calling
for an expenditure of $10,780,750 from
1881 through 1885. The combined pro-
grams would be adequate to bring the
Districts school facilities completely up
to date, they told the Commissioners.
During the conference, which was de-
scribed as informal. no action OF any
sort was taken. The Commissioners eX-
pressed no opinion on the new program
either during the meeting or after, but
said they would make a careful study Of
| all the school boards recommendations
as expressed in the items of the new
bill.
Coordination Discussed.
The question of co-ordinating the
| various departments of the District
| Government and the school system
| occupied considerable time when DR..
| Carusi, speaking for the school authori-
| ties, reiterated his contention that II
| any new office. designed to promote
| coordination, is created, it should be
| established under the jurisdiction OF
| the Commissioners.
Three members of congressional
| subcommittee on District appropria-
| tions last June proposed that such an
| officer be appointed as a school sys-
| tenn employe. The Board of Education
| and the co-working officers staff of
| the schools, however, contended then
| that since all the business and tech
! nical operations for the schools, in
| cluding the drawing of building plans,
the repairing Of school properties and
| the purchase of sites and materials,
| NN~~NN
| employees, the only person having
| right to coordinate those operations
would be a District employe. This
| contention was restated to the Com
missioners at yesterdays conference.
| The Commissioners expressed no
opinion on the proposed coordination
| Official but indications at the conclu-
sion of the conference were that some
step will be made almost Immediately
to improve the relations between the
school system and the various District
| Government Offices.
Besides DR.. Carusi and DR.. Ballou,
the meeting was attended by Stephen
E. Kramer, first assistant Superintend-
ent of schools in divisions 10; Henry
L. Gilligan. member of the school board;
Garnet c. Wilkinson. first assistant
superintendent in charge Of divisions
1913, and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, mem
Der of the school board.
