those authorizations are as necessary
| today as they were when they were en-
acted into law by the Congress OF the
United States. The major provision OF
Representative Simmons bill appears
to be o repeal Of previous legislation on
this subject
Commenting on the amount OF Mr..
Simmons bill, the report continued:
Representative Simmons bill author
ICES appropriations for purchase of land
and schoolhouse construction in an ag-
gregate not to exceed $10,000,000. In
view of the fact that there are more
than 100000 worth of authorizations
in the first five-year school building
program act not yet appropriated for,
obviously Representative Simmons bill
makes provision for less than $4,000 900
worth OF additional authorizations. At
tention Is invited to the fact that up
to date no justification has been pre-
sented to the public for this amount of
$10,000,000.
Need Nearly $13,O0O,O0O.
1.-THE cost of the authorizations un-
appropriated for of more than $1,000 900
and the cost of the carefully prepared
additional facilities needed in the next
five years of $5,750,000 make a total of
nearly $4,000, 900, which, in the opinion
of the board, is necessary for a five
year period"
Going on to the third essential fea-
ture" of the Simmons bill-the results
Of its operatiOn-the report declares:
The Board of Education is seriously
concerned with the possible effect of the
passage Of Representative Simmons bill
IN its present form. Because the bill
repeats legislative authorizations still
considered valid and desirable; because
of the absence in 1t of any definite
program of schoolhouse construction;
because Of the absence of any fact basis
in support of the legislation, the Board
of Education fears that the enactment
of this bill into law will make inevitable
the abandonment of the orderly plan of
procedure in Schoolhouse construction
which has prevailed since 1925. and will
substitute therefor return to the dis
orderly, chaotic procedure which has
attended the program of SchOolhouse
construction throughout the history of
the public schools until the enactment
OF the first five-year school building
program act, which went into effect
July /, 1925
The report concludes with a declara-
ton favoring its own second five-year
program rather than Mr.. Simmons bill,
because, as the report states, 1.-The board
believes that a plan is better than no
plan; that exactneSs in details of a pro-
gram is preferable to the absence Of
such details and that the authorizations
of the first five-year school building
program act yet unappropriated for
should not be repealed"
Back Five-Year Program.
Outlining the provisions of the first
five-year building program act, the
boards approval Of that type of school
construction schedule over the more in
definite sort of program as proposed by
Mr.. Simmons, the report sets forth that

which Tom Mangan, Dooly Mitchell,

A large crowd of fans is expected
to be on hand this afternoon when
Mangan and Mitchell take the
courts to begin their fight at 2
o'clock. Mangan is the ranking
player in the District, while Mitchell
ia former public parks champion.
The latter is a youngster and is
conceded good chance to upset
the veteran star, Mangan. While
the latter is hardly old enough to
call veteran, yet he has bean
starring in local tennis circles for
the past eight years.
Judd should dispose of Charest,
but only after a hard struggle.
Charest is the real veteran of local
tennis and will be dangerous op-
ponent for the former Ohio state
star, Judd. However, the latter,
with not only. youth on his side
but also a strong volleying game
that should chase Charest ali over
the court. is the choice to win.
