CITIZENS SEEK
SCHOOLS
MARGARET

UPPER MARLBORO, Md,
Dec. 17.-Despite the statement Of
Nicholas Orem, County Superin-
Sendent of Public Schools, that
no requests for new schools or
radical improvements would be
made until after a joint confer
ence of the school board, the
county commissioners, and mem
1bers of the legislature, a large
delegation from Bowie appealed
to the school board yesterday.
They were referred to the county
commissioners.
The delegation claimed that
better facilities are needed i'm
mediately at Bowie, as eight
teachers are now holding classes
In the six-room building. Accord
ing to leaders of the delegation,
one teacher holds classes in a
portable building in the school
rgrounds while another class is
held in a hall room far to small
to be adequate.
Although the Parent Teachers
Association of the community
hold an option ou the ten-acre lot
upon which it is hoped that a
new building will be erected,
some members of the delegation
state that the present structure
can be renovated and make suit
able.

PLANS FOR SPAN
COMPLETED

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va,
Dec. 17.-Plans for the construc-
ton of a new concrete bridge
over the Four Mile Run on the
Mt. Vernon Boulevard have been
completed by local authorities
and will be submitted to the
Alexandria city authorities for
their approval. If approved by
the latter. bids will be called for
by the county directing engi-
neer.
The Four Mile Run is the
dividing line between the county
jurisdiction and that of the city,
because of which fact both Ar
lington and Alexandria will share
equally the cost Of construction,
estimated at $4,000.
The present bridge has long
been a dangerous point on the
boulevard since the highway is
much wider than the passage
over the bridge.
