Georgetown Citizens
Back Plan 10 Close
Addison School
Transfer Of Pupils
Would Help Glasses
Now Under Quota

A recommendation that the Addi.
son Elementary School in George.
town be closed and its pupils trans
ferred to other schools in the neigh
borhood was proposed by represent
atives of several Georgetown citi-
zens' groups after a conference yes
terday with school officials.
The proposal, presented infor-
mally by DR.. Carroll R. Reed, first
assistant superintendent in charge
of elementary schools, and Henry w
Draper, supervising principal of the
first division, will be sent to Supt
of Schools Robert L. Haycock.
Other Schools Under Quota.
The seven elementary schools in
the Georgetown area average less
than 80 pupils per class, whereas a
quota of 36 is required, Mr.. Draper
reported. DR.. Reed pointed out ele-
mentary school enrolment in the
area has declined at the rate of ap-
proximately 100 pupils year since
1898.
Under the proposal, which would
be effective next September, most
OF Addison pupils would be trans
ferred to Hyde, while some would &c
to Corcoran and Jackson Schools
These schools are within walking
distance of the Addison School area
The Corcoran- Grant administra
tive unit would be separated, with
the present Addison principal trans
ferred to Corcoran as a teaching
principal.
School Centrally Located.
Arguments in favor of closing Ad-
olson rather than some other
Georgetown school included the fact
that it is centrally located and its
pupils could be transferred to other
schools without creating transporta-
ton problems.
A suggestion that the Addison
Building could be used by the Dis
trict Health Department to house
its school clinics and other projects
was made to Miss Mildred Negus
Ireprese nting DR.. George C. Rutland
District health officer. 1t was
pointed out that a health clinic al,
ready is in the schools basement

BY the Associated Press.
House conferees refused yesterday

Kellar proposals affecting the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
They decided to call for a House

Apartment Fire
Will Be Probed
By Grand Jury
Witnesses Called
To Determine if
Officials Were Lax

A grand Jury investigation to de.
termine whether there was any of.
ficial laxity in connection with the
Nebraska Apartments fire last
month in which one woman was
fatally burned, was announced to-
DAY by the United States Attorneys
Office as subpoenas were issued fol
all records and reports in the Build
ing Inspection and Fire Marshal
Offices. The subpoenas were issued
by Justice David A. Pine of District
Court. s-
Assistant United States Attorney
Ray L. jenkins said evidence would
be presented to the grand jury next
week to determine whether District
officials were negligent in enforce
ment of regulations calling for in
stallation of necessary fire safety
equipment prior to the fire.
Mr. Jenkins said that although
nearly two years had elapsed since
inspection of the premises revealed
that fire safety facilities were re-
Quired, nothing had ever been done
to enforce compliance.
Under the fire safety code District
officials are empowered to order
necessary safety repairs made and
assess the cost as taxes against the
building Mr.. jenkins declared. This
was never done, he asserted. 1t
was pointed out, however, that in
some cases material for construc-
ton cannot be obtained as a result
of war priorities.
Another factor, Mr.. Jenkins said,
was misplaced report which rec
commended revocation of the build
ing's operating license. AS a result
of the mislaid report no further ac-
ton was taken.
I'VE want to know if such slip
shod methods are going on there all
the time" Mr.. jenkins said.
The owner and the operator of
the building have already been held
on Recommendation of coroner's
jury on manslaughter charges. Evil
dence presented at the inquest re-
vealed that the parties had been
engaged in dispute over who was
responsible for the repairs.

If you have constipation of
this kind, eat KELLOGG'S

Drink plenty of water. See if you
