Report Asked on Plan
To Use Pupils as Workers

Col. David NcCoach, jr., District
Engineer Commissioner, yesterday
called on authorities of the public
school system to study and report
on a proposal by Representative
Stefan, Republican, of Nebraska
that pupils of the proposed new
Abbott Vocational School be used
to remodel or recondition buildings
at Thirteenth and Upshur streets
NV.
Two problems are involved in the
proposal. one dealing with the ques-
ton as to whether the new Abbott
Vocational Schol should be located
on this site, and, the other, as to
whether District school pupils
should be employed in a remodeling
of District properties, even though
they may do this work as a part OF
their laboratory training.
In its final action on the 1941
District supply BILL now awaiting
the signature of President Roose-
velt, Congress postponed until the
next regular session decision on the
controversy as to whether the
Abbott Vocational School or the
proposed new Wilson Teachers Col
lege should be erected on the
grounds of the old District Tuber-
culosis Hospital at Thirteenth and
Upshur streets NV. Some build
ings on this large site are to be
used to house crippled children,
whereas units there formerly were
used as tuberculosis preventoriums.
Spokesman for organized labor.
who have heard of suggestion of
Mr.. Stefan, are said to have regis
tered objection. However, Mr..
Stefan insisted yesterday that such
work would be done only under the
direction of proper instructors, as
a part of the course of training,
during instruction periods.

Lee Boulevard
Case 10 Go 10
Higher Court
Arlington Officials
To Appeal Ruling
On Cos Station

' The legal battle between Arling-
ton County officials and Albert K.
and Katherine G. Cohen over the
Cohens' efforts to establish . gaso-
line filling station at Lee boulevard
and Pershing drive last night ap-
peared headed for the Virginia su-
preme Court of Appeals.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy signed
an order in the Arlington County
Circuit Court yesterday which has
the effect of setting aside a decision
Of the County Board under which
the Cohens' property was rezoned
from a local business or &C" ciassi-
fication back to its original status
as residential class "B" to block the
proposed development.
The jurist's order likewise specific
ally set forth that the plaintiffs ARE
entitled to permit to erect an
automobile filling station"
County Building Inspector Andrew
Jensen and County Zoning Admini-
strator Donald r. Locke, however,
indicated their intentions of filing
an appeal to the State Supreme
Court for a writ of error from The
judgement and Judge Mccarthy
interposed an order suspending the
operation of the first order for a
period of 80 days to permit the
appeal to be fiied.
Voted in Previous Boards.
The battle over the Cohen prop
erty and the Cohens' desire to open
a filling station has ragged foi nearly
two years, county officials opposing
the proposal on the grounds tat it
would provide a wedge through
which the residential character of
Lee boulevard eventually would be
destroyed.
A previous County Board voted
nearly two years ago to grant the
Cohens a local business rezoning,
the vote being to 2. One of the
three members who voted for the
rezoning later expressed a desire to
change and the matter was again
brought before the board. After
advertisements of a rehearing the
board again considered the matter
and a tie vote resulted, 2 to 2. One
member was absent due to illness.
Classification Changed Back.
The present County Board took
office Immediately after the tie vote
was cast and at its first meeting
voted unanimously to change the
Zoning on the Cohens' property
back to residential class b claim
ing that because of the tie vote
the matter was still before the
board.
Counsel for the Cohens, how
ever, appealed to the court and as
serted that on any proposal to re-
zone property back to its original
status four-fifths vote of the board
was required, that the tie vote of
the board constituted a defeat of
the rezoning plan and the plan,
therefore, lost and should not have
been considered by the new board.
Judge McCarthy's order yesterday,
in effect, upheld this contention of
the plaintiffs attorneys.
Counsel for the Cohens is the law
firm of Jesse, Phillips & Klinge.

Helena. Montana
BY HEX

When we set foot in Helena on
the 9Th day of May in 1889, real
estate boom was on in full swing.
If you owned a foot of earth your
expectation for riches made you
top-heavy and each morning after
breakfast you expected calls offer
ing fabulous prices for your mite
of ground. One of the first oppor-
tunities confronting us was to buy
stock in land owned by a colored
company, and the price of the land
was held at the modest sum of
ten thousand dollars. My partner
and myself invested in lot on the
side of a hill, the street on the
front of the lot was called Front
st. The only way to reach the rear
of the lot was to make the assent
in a gyro-plane. The lot is still
vacant. The $4,000 property to-
day is being bought in single lots
for from S1OO to 5000 each. And
yet, Helena has had more new
houses since the earthquake than
we've had erected in two decades.
Should we have another earth
quake the city will spread all the
way to the Missouri river, Is miles
away.
Voices from Piney Woods were
heard in Helena last week. Two
performances were given by the fe-
male singers to pleased audiences.
Mrs. III. Baker and Mr.. Davis of
Spokane entertained the singers at
the Baker home following the last
show.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Brown of
Butte were in the city Sunday vi
sitting friends
AID Banks and George Williams,
mighty hunters, proved they could
shoot and could hit, too. They
brought in a fine deer which they
are proudly showing their friends.
The animal is now hanging in cold
storage awaiting the time when
succulent steaks will be detached
for satisfying expectant appetites.
We suppose you might call it ap-
peasment.
j. e. Ingram and James Boots
of Spokane were in Helena last
Tuesday, and Mr.. Ingram complet-
ed his severance of Helena ties by
the removal of the remainder of
his household goods. Again we say
we in Helena will miss J. E. as
he was ever ready to give aid to
all affairs promoted for the ad-
vancement of Helena.
Vive j. E. Ingram.
