EDUCATION BOARD
TO TALK BUDGET.
Change in Procedure May Be
Result of Meeting Next
Wednesday.

A new procedure in making up the
schools budget will be discussed by
the Board of Education Wednesday
in compliance with . request by the
House Subcommittee on District Ap-
propriations.
For the last two years the school
estimates have been subject to criti-
cism by the committee, although they
are drawn to conform with the regu-
lations of the Bureau of the Budget,
according to school officials.
The committee members felt that
the items in the estimates might well
be arranged according to forms drawn
up by the United States Once Of
Education for use throughout the
country for comparative budget state
ments.
Collins Cites Case.
Chairman Ross Qpalins OF Aissiaa
sippi, in making tie suggestion Of
alternate budget set-up, cited the fact
that under the present arrangement,
furniture and fixture estimates, for
instance, occur in q dozen different
items in the bill. There Is no way
Of telling just how much altogether is
to be spent for furniture and fixtures,
he said. -
Supt. Frank w. Ballou agreed this
was 80 and expressed the wish that
something fundamental could be done
to improve the form in which the
budget is set up.
Both DR.. Ballou and the Finance
Committee Of the Board Of Education
have been considering the proposition,
it Is understood, and some program
will be discussed by the members
Wednesday.
Donovan Gives View.
District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan
said yesterday that in his opinion the
set-up of the school budget is "sus-
ceptible of material improvement" and
likewise cited the value of consolidat-
ing similar items instead Of having
them reappear constantly through the
estimates.
He added, too, that in certain in
stances improvements could be made
in the entire District budget form. In
the case Of the schools, he said the set
up followed now IS an ''old" one that
has been followed by the Budget Bu-
reau for number Of years.

PEDESTRIAN LAW
PAR[EY SSLATED
D. c. Officials to Seview
Question at Session
Tomorrow.

All phases Of the question of adopt
ing a pedestrian control regulation
for the District will be reviewed by
a group Of municipal officials to-
morrow at pm in special conference
with Commissioners Hazen and Nc
Coach.
While studying any practical or legal
problems that may arise under the
suggested plan to ban jay-walking,
the Commissioners are expected to
set a date for an extraordinary public
hearing on the subject, which prob
ably will be held late in November.
Invitations to attend the planning
conference were issued yesterday by
Engineer Commissioner McCoach to
Maj. E. w. Brown, superintendent of
police: Corporation Counsel Elwood
H. Seal. Tranic Director William A.
Van Duzer. Richmond B. Keech, vice
chairman Of the Public Utilities Com
mission: Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, d.
rector of highways, and H. B. Leary.
jr. head of the Trafic Advisory
Council.
Other Plans May BE Studied.
Col. McCoach. who last week took
over plans for the public hearing, due
to the illness of Commissioner Hazen.
has requested ofiicials to be prepared
to outline the form of pedestrian con-
troll used in various cities. Alternative
plans for possible adoption by the
Commissioners also may be consid-
cred.
The group will be asked to suggest
in just what form or forms the idea
is to be laid before the public at the
forthcoming hearing.
Mr.. Seal will be prepared to outline
to the group the sections of the Dis
trict Trafic Act. as amended three
times, dealing with control of trafhc.
possible application to pedestrians, the
power Of regulation, and a report on
decisions given by Judge John P. Nc
Mahon in Police Court and the late
Associate Justice Josiah Van Orsdel of
the District Court Of Appeals in legal
principles involved in pedestrian con-
troll.
Loading Platform Move.
Meanwhile. it was learned that Con-
gress may be asked at the next ses-
sion to eliminate from the next Dis
trict appropriation act the present
prohibition against expenditure of any
District funds for the construction OF
street car loading platforms.
Some oficials hold to the belief that
many Of the street car loading zones,
not equipped with platforms, are not
suficient protection and questions have
been raised as to whether the District
can compel the Capital Transit Co. to
build and operate a desirable number
Of platforms.
Also it was made known that Capt
Whitehurst is making studies of more
than 80 intersections having peculiar
conditions where some further relief
to pedestrians and moving traffic might
be accomplished by engineering work
