SCHOOL READY
On MARCH Is

SILVER SPRING, Md, Feb. 10.
Although contractors have been
rushing for the past few months
in an effort to complete the new
eastern suburban high school by
the beginning of the second school
semester, transfer of the senior
high school pupils to the new
building will not be made before
March Is.
The congested condition that
has existed in the Takoma-Silver
Spring junior and senior high
school during this year has never
been equalled in Montgomery
county schools before as school
officials have endeavored to &C.
commodate nearly 800 students in
building over-croWded with
about 600 last year.
All available rooms including
the gymnasium, auditorium and
cafeteria are being used for class
rooms, and in some of the larger
class rooms two or more classes
are being conducted at the same

biulderS-a higher type OF builder
is becoming recognized as neces'
sary and important adjunctS to
the industry.
Mr.. Gilbert Writes
Referring to the elimination of
the speculative builder and the
gradual rise to a fixed status of
the operative builder, E. L.. Gil
bert, writing in the American
Builder says:
"The great number of Organi-
atoms which erected homes for
sale in the past have come in
for considerable criticism. In
view of the fact that IS to 80
per cent of the home units con-
Structed each year during the
last decade were built by opera
tive builders, the Real Property
Inventory provides evidence
that by far the larger part of
the structures built were of
good quality and have not de-
preciated at an unreasonable
rate.
"The basis for real complaint
was the GERRY builder; curl
ousIy enough, a majority of the
Gerry builders" were not build
erS at all but simply men or or
CARNATIONS that came into the
building game" as they called
it, to make money while the
making was good.
Gone for Good
due to the rulings of the
Federal Housing Administration
and the poor reputation of "jer-
ry builders" with the general
public, it is not anticipated that
any great quantity of inefficient,
cheaply constructed dwellings
will be built during the next
decade"
Good operative builders are an
asset to any community because
they exercise a control which
tends toward uniform and sound
new community development.
Their recognition by the Federal
Housing Administration, according
to observers, will undoubtedly
point the way to an even more
encouraging improvement in home
building activities.

Speaks on Jobs
Following Major Browns ad-
dress, resolutions we're adopted
asking the return to the District
bill Of an appropriation for al
additional police, which had been
stricken out by the Bureau of the
Budget, after receiving the ap-
proval of the District Commits
SionerS.
Harry N. Stull, delegate to the
Federation of Citizens Association
from Stanton Park, urged the ap-
pointment of more District people
to local jobs. He said during the
proceeding three years out of 348
appointments in the public
schools, 40 were made outside the
District and the same condition
existed in making appointments
in other municipal departments.
Following prolonged discussion
the following resolution, by
Thomas E. Lodge, delegate to the
Federation from American Uni
versity Park, was adopted:
Whereas, residents of the
District of Columbia, have
noted with chagrin the policy
on the part of appointing Off
GERS to select non-reSidentS for
local public office.
SENT TO PRESIDENT
whereas, we believe that resi-
dents of the District of Column
bia are not only as well quail
fled to hold local public office,
but in addition are familiar
with local problems than nom
residents.
Therefore, be it resolved by
Cathedral H ei g h t S-CIeveland
Park Citizens Association that
it favOrs a future policy of ap-
pOintment for public office
those persons who are bona fide
residents of the District of Co.
lumbia."
Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to President Roose-
welt, and the chairmen of both
Congressional Committees on the
District of Columbia.

before he became President, in
which it was said:
"FileS of the Federal Trade

ter instance of pillage, deceit
of the public, and even prOsti'

Representative r ankin said
that 1885 reports of the commits
sion show a continuance of a
policy of exorbitant electric light
rates. He took occasion to criti-
CHE Representative Willard (R)

master General Farley for giving
away a few postage stamps when
in the Willard Congressional
