School authorities. however will not at
tempt to move the eighth grade from
that school. but will permit the pupils
TO be graduated with diplomas from
the Park View.
The meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee of the Park View Citizens As
ISOLATION viii be called tomorrow night,
John S. Pole, president. declared this
morning. to consider whether that as
ISOLATION will undertake TO lend its sup
port to the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association IN its fight against the
transfer. Mr.. Cole said that his asso-
citation had adopted a resolution two
years ago. in which 1t requested the
School Board to retain the Monroe
School as an institution for white pupils
as long as it could be done without
transferring pupils from the Park View
School to build up Monroes waning
classes
Old Battle Recalled.
The present fight of the Columbia
Heights Citizens against the transfer
of Monroe School recalls the bitter
battle waged successfully by the Park
View citizens two years ago against the
school authorities efforts to transfer
some children from the Park View to
the Monroe School At that time school
administration officers asserted, the
dennlJe boundaries marking the reSpec-
tive territories of the two schools had
not been adhered to, and many children
whose residences were within Monroe's
territory were attending Park View
School. Efforts of the school authori-
ties to order these childen to Monroe,
however, resulted in a strike" by par
ents, who refused to send their children
to any school other than Park View.
At that time it was forecast that the
declining classes at Monroe would re-
suit in the ultimate closing of that
building to white children. School Of
ficials then said they could retain both
schools in the white division only II the
congestion which in 1929 marked the
Park View School would be relieved by
transferring some of the surplus chill
dren to Monroe, but at that time also
efforts were being made to secure two
additions to the Park View School to
care for the large enrolment.

PLAN ENLARG|NG
OF ST. EL|ZABETH'S
Two Million Dollar Project
Launching Expected in
Near Future.

A plan is under way to spend more
than 100000 for increasing facilities
of st. Elizabeth's Hospital to meet the
steady increase in the number of pa
tientS, with prospects that the work will
be launched in the near future.
Bids will be asked in a week or 10
days for q tuberculosis building, de-
pending On action taken by Congress on
the first deficiency bill, carrying $120, 900
for this work, foi which a like sum
already has been appropriated. If the
additional fund is obtained, two-story
building can be provided instead of q
one-Story structure as now contemplated
and for which there Is already need.
Present facilities only care for 100 pa
tients, as against 100 now in the insti-
tanned, the plans can be drawn for the
entire layout desired, but II not, off,
cials will go ahead and lay their plans
for starting work on the smaller
building.
An appropriation is also available for
starting construction on male re-
ceiving building, for which the cost is
limited to 81 1850 900, but how soon this
work will start depends on action taken
on the Interior Department. bill, carry
ing $685. 900 for two continued treat
ment buildings, a dining hall and
kitchen. If this measure, which now
is the subject of controversy on account
of the $25 ,000,0 900 food relief item, gets
through, the ST. Elizabeth's work pro-
vided will get preference. It was said
this morning at the Interior Depart
ment, which is In charge of the institu-
ton, that work could be speeded, as
Veteran Bureau plans already drawn up
could be used with few alterations. On
account of this situation 1t was thought
likely that bids for the receiving build
ing would hardly be asked for a month
or two.
The additional facilities are badly
needed. it was said yesterday Monte
Sanger, administrative assistant to DR..
William A. White, superintendent of st.
EliZabeth's, said that the average popu-
lation out there now Is about 1000
daily, and is increasing at the rate of
about 200 year.
