Abandonment of the present home
of the National Training School for

as an economy" move in the 1889
supply bill, will mean that the District
will have to pay out $4,000 in order

dicated yesterday.
Since there is nowhere else to put
the more than go girls In the training
school when the present quarters on
Conduit road NV. at tthe District
line, are given up, the Commissioners
have requested supplemental appro-
priation Of $35, 900 to build temporary
frame, tarpaper- -roofed home for them
on the grounds Of the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children at Blue
Plains, D. C.
The $9,32G Saving" to be effected
by this costly move represents the
difference between the estimated main
tenance and salary expense for oper-
ating the school in its present quarters
and the same costs for operation IN
the projected temporary building, plus
the salaries of watchmen for the
abandoned structure.
Apparently. the only chance OF
avoiding the extra expense lies in the
possibility of prompt congressional &C

Further irony in the transfer plan
was revealed in study of the record
of the National Training School for
Girls, showing the District would be
left not only one, but two costly white
elephants" on its hands in the form of
properties developed for the institution
and abandoned for reasons beyond
control Of the Commissioners.
At Muirkirk, Md, the District holds
title to tract Of about 140 acres on
which stand a number of buildings.
1t was purchased nearly Is years ago
as separate institution for white
girls formerly housed at the National
Training School for Girls.
That investment was made at the
suggestion of the Budget Bureau, not
on the recommendation of the Com
missioners, according to the official
District records. 1t was abandoned
in 1882 after it had been found the
number Of white girls committed to
the training school was not sufficient
to justify such an expensive separate
institution. In recent years, the prop
erty has been used by the Civilian
Conservation Corps, with no revenue
coming to the District government
The records show that the District
paid out $32, 500 for the tract and
later spent $46,345 for construction or
improvement of buildings there, max
ing the total capital investment more
than $4,000.
