Comptroller General j. R. Nc
Carl today refused to sanction a
request Of the District Commis-
sioners that Mrs. Page T. Kirk,
well-known teacher at Western
High School for many years, be
given a promotion.
The decision was based on the
fact that Mrs. Kirk voluntarily
retired on June 80, 1888, because
her husband was also employed
by the Government. At that time
she was in grade ga, and receiv-
ing $4,000 year, the maximum
in the grade.
Reappointed in September of
the same year with presidential
approval, Mrs. Kirk was placed
in her old grade but given $4,000
a year. representing the basic sal
ary Of $1,000 plus $500, repre-.
senting automatic increases for
five years of service.
It was requested by the Board
Of Education and the Commis-
SionerS that she be raised as of
July /, 1884, to Grade BIB, with
annual pay Of $4,000.

Impressed with the vigorous

night declared its neighborhood

from the District and Federal
governments, the District Com

In announcing this decision,
Commissioner George E. Allen
said:

We not only invite them, but
If they don't come, we are 60

Practically all the projects asked
for by the Southeast Business
Men are engineering projects.
Commissioner Gotwals imme-

Speaking of the general situa-

more expression from our peO-
