resulting from the condemnation of
II houses on the north side of the
100 block of P street S.W.

several years. Justice Matthew F.
MCGUIRE of District Court yesterday
upheld the District Board for the
Condemnation of Insanitary Build
ings in its action against dwellings
owned by Miss Minnie Keyes, TIA

The court held the board acted
properly in refusing to vacate its
order. The District Government had
charged the buildings failed to meet
minimum requirements in many
ways.

ally inspected the buildings, ex-
pressed the belief that the board
would have been "derelict in its
duties" If it had failed to condemn
the structures.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman said the buildings
have been vacated under court order
Miss Reyes, who is represented by
Attorneys w. Gwynn Gardiner and
James M. Earnest, announced last
night she will appeal from the Dis
trict Court decision. She said the
buildings have been repaired to
meet requirements.

however, that the engineers later

would have to be cut down.

School lBoard 10 Seek
Teacher Raise Parallel
To Federal Increase
BY Colt HendIey, Jr.

A sick leave plan and a cost-of-
living pay raise for District public
school teachers, to parallel any Fed
eral pay increase which Congress
may vote. will be sought by the
Board of Education.
Meeting yesterday, the board ap-
proved the two proposals presented
by School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
The pay raise, If the fiat boost
runs around $500 a year, will add
about $2,3500 900 to the school bud
get. The sick leave plan is esti-
mated OF cost about $4,000 a veal
additional.
The board voted to send reports
OF its action to the Commissioners
and DR.. Corning said he would re-
port In person on the action to con
gressional leaders, as requested by
them.
Seeks to Correct Inequity.
The board also voted to ask fol-
legislation to correct an inequity In
the Teachers Salary Act of 1947
which allows new teacher coming
into the system to be placed at a
beginning salary higher than that
of some teachers already in the
school system.
Teachers now have no sick leave
plan, although attendance officers
or truant officers do have such q
plan under the 1947 salary act. The
proposal would give teachers 10
days leave year, to be earned at
the rate of one day for each working
month. This would be cumulative
up to so days. In addition, the school
superintendent could advance up to
20 days additional leave, when re-
quired.
If the sick leave plan is made law,
each teacher in the system will be
credited with one day of leave per
year of service up to 20 days on the
day the act becomes effective.
Substitute Pay Approved.
The board accepted DR.. Corning S
recommendation that the pay of
substitute teachers be set at $40 a
day.
In another action the board re-
quested the Commissioners to ex-
pedite estimates on the cost of de-
veloping the grounds at the new
Richardson Elementary School,
opened early this year, after Adel-
bert w. Lee, board member, COM
mented on the ''mudhole around
the school," Other board members
agreed that the conditions Of the
grounds were a disgrace"
DR.. Corning pointed out that,
under the present setup, all new
schools must be accepted with I'M
improved grounds following instruc-
tons from an economy minded
Congress which wanted to get the
schools built within the appropria-
tons allotted. +
The same situation exists at the
new Slowe Elementary School, DR..
Corning reported, and the board
made the same recommendation
In addition it asked the Commits
sioners to remove the now unused
temporary structure on the Slowe
grounds, formerly known as the
Crlmmell Annex. and to evict the
tenants of 1921 jackson street NE.
SO development Of the Slowe play
ground can begin. The house is
school property.
Two Retirements Approved.

two teachers: Mrs. Genevieve B.

Of service, and Miss Marion E.
