the undertaking. The board took no action except to place the petition in the hands of the street commit tee, which has been studying the matter for many, many months.
 The residents in Mill Plain are di- vided on the question of removing the parklet. Some want it left where it is on the grounds that it serves as an "aisle of safety." Others claim that it is 8 menace to motorists and also dangerous spot for persons to stand while waiting for the trolley cars.
 Mrs McCary contended that the majority of the people in the inn mediate vicinity favor the removal of the parklet. She objected to a few governing the question. A letter was also introduced from Rev Thomas Mulcahy. who originally signed the petition opposing the re- moval of the parklet He is now convinced. he stated. that the park let is menace and should be re- moved.
 It is understood that Mrs Me Cary will be able to sell her land, which faces the parklet, providing the little triangle is removed. gasoline station is proposed for the place. In answer to a question con-
 cerning this proposal. she said that If she succeeds in getting the park let removed and in selling her land she would give $5,000 to finance the work to be done by the city. Mayor Frank Hayes instructed Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly to make a note to Mrs McCary's offer.
 nj O a
 one. It was announced that the Connecticut company will start tearing up it's now unused trolley tracks on Baldwin street on Fri day. Therefore, the board last night instructed the superintendent of streets to lay storm water drains
 wherever necessary while the track
 removing work is in progress. The street will then be paved.
 Efforts of Michael Popovitch of Walnut street extension to have a retaining wall built in front of his property failed when Mayor Hayes | called his attention to the fact that
 he has been having his taxes abated | for many years past. Persons pay | ing no taxes are not entitled to inn proVements, the mayor cOntended. Anyway, it was pointed out, no wall
 was awarded Popovitch in the lay out of the thoroughfare.
 The building of sidewalks on Pennington avenue in front of the
 Margaret Smith property was au- thorized by the board. The superin- tendent of streets was also instruct ed to proceed with the laying of sewers in Chase avenue and Faber avenue and to complete the layout
 of Lexington avenue. Residents ot Poplar place were informed that If
 they want their street reopened as
 a public thoroughfare, they will | have to pay layout and grade as- | sessments. The thoroughfare was
 closed at the request of the prop
 erty owners many years ago and
 the land used for the street reverted
 back to the abutting property own CTS. Now the present petitioners
 new residents on the street, want
 the thoroughfare reopened. No ac-
 tion was taken.

POLICY
OvercroWding Prevented by
Speeding New Buildings;
Census Is Made Each Year

BY anticipating school needs
and standardizing the smaller
schools, Edwin w. Broome. super.
1ntendent, has made Montgomery
county schools rank at the top of
the list of Maryland schools The
last rating was in 1929.
Mr.. BrOOme said that each year
o census Is made of the number
of children attending school and
the rate of increase over the
previous year studied.
With this material the board of
education is then able to estimate
when a new school will be needed
and endeavors to have the build
ing ready before the present build,
ings become overcrowded.
New School Planned
AS an example of this the school
situation in Rockville was cited.
AT the present time the one school
houses both graded and high
school children. It is not, how.
ever. overcrowded. Sixty thou.
sand dollars of the new bond is.
sue will go toward new elemen-
tary school for the school year
1928.
The colored high school IN
Rockville is overcrowded, but aid
was secured at the last session and
soon there will be another colored

Chevy Chase School
At Chevy Chase it was decided
that the school would soon be in
adequate. A new building will
soon be ready. Unlike the Dis
trict of Columbia school board
the Montgomery board has no
scruples against tearing down old
buildings and the old Chevy
Chase School will make way for a
playground for the new school.

be made for a new school, the
