PROTEST HAL IS
SCHOOL PLAN

A storm Of indignant protest by
owners Of adjoining property today
met the application Of the Potonnac
School located In the 21OO block Of
California Sc. n. W., to purchase
property I'm the same block Of
LARoy Place and extend the school
building through the entire block.
At public meeting In the board
room Of the District Building many
OF the property owners contended
that extension Of the school would
result In depreciation Of existing
real estate values.
The majority Of those protesting
were elderly persons whose main
objection was based on the fact
that they did not care 10 live next
door, or for that matter, IN the
same block with so children, many
Of whom are. small boys.
Officials Of the school answered
this argument by pointing out that
their students are not Of the Iln.
desirable class, but on the contrary
are most orderly little people whose
actions win certainly cause no one
annoyance.
The Commissioner after hearing
both sides fully took the case under
advisement and adjourned for the
regular executive meeting Of the
board.

TITANIC MEMORIAL
START SOON SEEN
Construction of Sea Wall May
Begin This Fall, Col.
Grant Believes.

Erection Of the Titanic Memorial at
the banks of the Potomac River, start
ing this Fall, is considered probable by
Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant Sd. director of
the Office of Public Buildings and Public
Parks. Additional funds to carry on
construction of the sea wall in that area
will become available on July l, and Col.
Grant today estimated that $l25 900 will
be needed 10 complete the entire work,
SOS, 900 being for the Substructure. The
Women'S Titanic Memorial Association
has been waiting for the further con-
Struction of the sea wall before getting
ready to erect the memorial.
Col. Grant believes that as funds for
the fiscal year 1880 become available it
will be possible to complete enough of
the sea wall so that the association can
lay foundations for the monument this
Fall and probably unveil it some time
next Spring, If that is desired. This
Summers sea wall work will permit of
safely placing the foundation of the
monument in the opinion of engineers.
Specifications for the sea wall con-
Struction are now awaiting approval by
Mai Gen. Edgar JadWin, chief of Army
Engineers. and it is expected that con-
tracts for further work will be let on or
before July l. construction OF the sea
wall in the New Hampshire avenue
area is one of the projects in the de-
vclopment of the Rock Greek and PotO-
mac Parkway.
Better prices obtained on stone will
enable the Government to go forward
more economically with the work, Col.
Grant explained today. In that area
the Potomac River has rise and fall
