GUT TOCONGEST
D. {, SCHOOLS

The proposed deep slash in the
1884 District budget will serious
ly congest the local public schools
and hamper their progress. it
was asserted today by Jere j.
Crane, first assistant superin-
tendent of Washington schools.
Under the $47,000,000 estimates
now in the hands of the District
Economy Commission, the school
estimates of slightly more than
$14,500.000 are cut by more than
$2,000,000.
Will Cause Crowding
According to Mr.. Crane, this
slash will deter the progress in
construction and will crowd al
ready crowded schools.
The local school system suf-
fered a serious setback in the pres
ent appropriation act. which pro.
vides little money for new prof.
ects and funds for the purchase
of only two sites.
Must Economic
The original estimates from the
various District departments
totalled $57,00O,000.
Mr.. Crane said, however. that
the cuts are necessary in the face
of economic conditions.

Big Federal Aid For Ohio's Road

The federal relief bill recently
signed by the President includes an
appropriation of s120,0OO,000.00
for highway construction. This ap-
preparation is divided among the
states on the same basis as regular
federal aid, and the amount appor-
toned to Ohio will be s4,490, 0,000.-
co. This money must be spent on
the federal aid highway system and
may be substituted for state money
in the construction of such projects.
This money will enable Ohio to car
ry out practically its entire high
way program for 1882, since, be-
cause of decreased revenues, it was
necessary to materially curtail the
program laid out early in the year.
