FUND IS PLANNED
TO MEET CLAIMS
Bride Recommends Standing
Amount to Pay Approved
Sums Without Delay.

Corporation Counsel william w. Bride
today won out in his recommendation
to the Commissioners that the District
ask Congress for cash fund of $4,000
to $25, 1000 for cash settlement Of claims.
instead of making claimants wait, as
now, until Congress appropriates the
money to satisfy their judgments on
authenticated claims.
At the same time, his recommended
lions that the District compromise q
SIS claim by Robert w. Dutton, deputy
recorder of deeds, was rejected.
The case of Mr.. Dutton arose April
rs, when Mr.. Dutton tripped on bump
in the sidewalk, and fractured his wrist.
On July he wrote to the Commits
sioners, giving the details Of the acci-
dent and the expenses to which he had
been put. After investigation, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Vernon e. West
recommended paying the SIS.
This opinion was forwarded to Assist
ant Engineer Commissioner Hugh p.
Dram. On August 5, he noted his Opin-
ion that the claim should be denied.
Capt. Herbert G. Whitehurst, District
Highway Engineer, added his opinion
that the claim should be denied.
There the matter rested until August
10, when the Commissioners appointed
q "Co-ordinating Committee to Advise
the Commissioners on Matters OF Law
and Policy" The claim Of Mr.. Dutton
was duly put before the committee for
advice on matters of law and policy.
Long debate followed, and the COM
mittee found itself hopelessly divided
on the subject. Finally, on October 30,
q split report was forwarded to the Com
missioners. Capt Whitehurst and Daniel
e. Garges, secretary to the District
Commissioners, found that the District
was not liable, and urged that the claim
be denied. Mr.. Bride went along with
his colleague in holding that the Dis
trict should pay the claim.
In this State the report reached the
Commissioners. Commissioner John c.
Gotwals sided with the Whitehurst Gar
ges view and accordingly this was
adopted.

UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION
Superintendent Shows Accommodations
Provided for u $50 Pupils, and Progress
on Other Lines, In Ten Years.

School house accommodations for
1850 pupils, in addition to eight class

during the 10 years that DIR. Frank w.
Ballou has been superintendent of pub
lie schools. This Is revealed in the sew
enth section of the superintendent re-
port to the Board of Education. which
is made public today.
These accommodations were con-
tanned In 81 new buildings and new adj
ditions to older schools of all classes
and are the result of a building policy
launched early in DR.. Ballou's admins
tration.
THE movement" the report says of
the efforts to secure additional school
accommodation was begun early In
1920, and has received more attention
during the 10-year period than any 9TH
err school matter. Beginning with a
survey Of the congested conditions in
the schools in 1920, it was followed by
congressional hearings in 1922 and 1928,
and eliminated In the enactment of
the flve-year school building program
act in 1926" Continuing, the report as
serts:
Sees Record Unparalleled.
THE record Of school house construc-
ton submitted in this chapter is un-
paralleled in the history OF the schools
