tpay bill checks used to be given to
custodians, and many of the 800

trolled by the principals, Mr. Stahl
said. He added that several men
had borrowed from him, and he
knew of some genuine hardship
cases" among lower-paid laborers.
Mr.. Stahl said some custodians
buying houses were fearful of losing
their rights because they had not
been able to meet notes. Grocery
store owners and landlords also
have been pressing, he said.
A. r. Pilkerton, District auditor
said he hoped the checks would be
ready for distribution at the Ross
School, Seventeenth and R streets
