Rejected by Board
In Prince Georges

A proposal to operate Prince
Georges County schools on a r.
month basis, with staggered quar-
terly vacation periods. has been
rejected by the county's Board of

tical and would cause too much

CART and his staff, the board an

bidders with a proposal of $314,-

originally had been earmarked for
the project. which will include 10
clasSrooms, a multipurpose room
and renovation of four existing
c1assrooms.
The board also approved final
plans for a our-classroom and
multipurpose room addition to
the Bradbury Heights Elementary
School and called for opening OF

nothing immediate is in prospect
but that future needs would bt
considered.

Alexandra Council
Votes 10 Close S5-Uni1
Taylor Run Project

The Alexandria City Council
last night voted to close and de-
molish the Taylor Run veterans
housing project.
A resolution voicing the coun-
ellis desire to close the 85-unit
project on Duke street, extended
was passed on the grounds that
the housing shortage no longer is
acute; that upkeep of the project
is expensive and that the city
owned land can be sold at profit
The resolution also said the prof.
ect would interfere with the pro-
posed Taylor Run parkway.
The council recommended that
the three-year -old Government
built units, now run by the Alex
andria Redevelopment and Hous-
ing Authority, be closed and de-
molished as they become vacant
and that a closing date for the
whole project be set.
Plans to Restore House.
Plans for the immediate res
toration of historic Ramsey House
at King and Fairfax streets were
announced but work must await
settlement of building code viola
tions.
F. Hamilton Seeley, representa-
tive of the Alexandria association
and the Alexandria Historical So
ciety which are jointly backing
restoration of the city-owned
building, told the council that the
two organizations have $4,000 in
hand to start immediate recon-
struction work. But Mr.. Seeley
pointed out, that two technical
problems still were holding up
the work.
One of those problems-the
fact that a chimney of the old inn
would project into the King street
sidewalk was cleared by the
council last night with special
permission for the encroachment.
The other obStacle-hOW to make
the buildings wooden walls con-
form to f1re-safety building rules
will be taken up by a special
committee.
Bancroft Study Ordered.
The council cautiously ap-
preached the proposal to join a
regional committee to study the
Bancroft Lake tract as a possible
park site. Acting on an invitation
from Falls Church to appoint a
member of a regional committee
that will seek the 630-acre tract
as a State park, the council de-
cided to make a further study.
The council voted to spend $10,-
900 for a new dog pound located
