WAITING OK. TO.
START WORK ON
NEW HI-SCHOOL
Contractors Reduce Bid by
$1,000; Consequent Unwind
ing of Red Tape Holding
Up Proceedings

When is the new school house 60
ing to start?
This is the question which has
been heard on the streets almost
constantly all this week. The ans
wer was given before the chamber
of commerce meeting this noon by
Superintendent E. S. Black. 49,
The answer is, he says, "Just one
day after the work order has been
received from Washington, Dc" *
He went on to explain to the
chamber that just one hour before
the bids were opened when the con-
tract was let, the Standard Con-
struction Co. of Tacoma, the COM
pany which was the low bidder, by
the way, telegraphed reduction
in their bid of $1,000. This company
was low bidder anyway, by about
$1,000 on the job, it was discovered
when the bids were opened. The
revised figures, however, had to be
sent to Washington for the Off
cial unwinding of red tape and the
work order has not yet been issued.
Mr.. Hartman, who will have
charge of the job here, stated that
his company was all set to go and
as soon as the said work order
shows up dirt will begin to fly.
Mr. Black explained that the re-
duction in the amount of the bid
was made possible by lower prices
received from subcontractors to the
construction company which inn
mediately passed the savings on to
the school district. It was a virtual
gift of $1,000 to the district, mas
much as this company was already
the low bidder and would have been
awarded the contract anyway.

Fiscal Committee

The experts appointed by the President to conduct the
Congressony directed inquiry into fiscal relations be-
tween the Federal and District to be
well qualified to develop the facts which will lead to an
equitable determination of this long disputed question

advisory board consisting of Messrs George McAneny
Clarence A. Dykstra, and James w. Martin have
lengthy records of experience in governmental admins
tration, business conduct and tax matters

The efforts which Washingtonans have made to OBJ
tain an equitable appropriation by the Federal Govern
ment for the city have not been made for selfish pur
poses.
THEY HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE WASHING
ToNIANs ARE AWARE OF THE WISHES OF THE
PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY AS WHOLE THAT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL BE PROPERLY MAIN
TANNED AND BE BUILT UP AS CITY OF WHICH
THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE MAY BE PROUD.
Washngtonians seek no selfish advantage simply be-
cause they happen to be residents of the National Cap
ita but they realize that because they residents Of
the National Capital they have obligation to try to
make the city what all Americans want it to be.
The method of procedure of Mr.. Jacobs and his ad

appeals to sound common sense.
Mr. Jacobs will gather and compile all facts and fig
ures bearing on the subject under investigation; the
committee will suggest such pertinent facts as it may
wish assembled and then Mr. Jacobs and the committee
will permit interested governmental agencies and local
bodies familiar with the subject to present their views
Out Of all this the committee will make It's findings
and submit it's recommendations.
It seems almost needless to say that Mr. Jacobs and

CHEEKY little Milly Smith, plump as
a dumping and merry as a cricket,
has spent her welded years fol-
lowing her husband to every port
under heaven. What her original
life pattern was, nobody knows
and Milly has probably forgotten.
For these 80 years wardrobed in a
suitcase; house-kept with packing
boxes, a yard or so OF cheap
chintz, thumb tackS, cracked
crockery jars, sprays of pine and
bamboo, pictures clipped from
Sunday supplements and any
other odds and ends her nimole
fingers could light upon.
Result-twenty-four hours after
landing at any station, Milly's
going full blast, snugged up in an
adorable dump of a house with a
file of madly enthusiastic friends
forming to the right. Needless to
say. Missus Smith is rated as a
Knockout anywhere, any time, by
anybody. And feels, at so, that
life has given her a Swell Deal.
