Problem Of Discipline
And Vice Squad Action
Cited by Department

Police Supt. Robert ]. Barrett
has ordered policemen to stay out
of bottle clubs in off-duty hours.
The order said offenders would
face immediate trial board action
One rookie was dismissed from
the force last month after he was
accused of aiming his service
revolver at the manager of a
club.
In addition to the disciplinary
problem which may arise from
such visits. the presence of Off
duty policemen in the clubs
hinders investigations by vice
squad officers, a spokesman for
Maj. Barrett said.
Meanwhile, Chairman Davis of
the House District Crime subcom-
mittee was considering a proposed
bill sent him by the Commission
ers to license after-hours clubs,
and give the city heads authority
to forbid drinking in the clubs
on Sunday.
The Commissioners want to
license the bottle clubs rather
than ban them as nuisances, as
the pending Davis crime-curb bill
would do. If their proposal
should be accepted, Mr.. Davis
said. the licensing provision would
be included in his omnibus pill.
The ban on after-hours clubs
was proposed by Mr.. Davis after
the crime investigating group he
headed in the last session termed
such clubs crime breeders.

In School Bonds
Referendum Proposal
Is Sharp Reduction
From Defeated Plan

A $4.875,000 bond issue was pro-
posed today by the Arlington
School Board for expansion of the
county's school system.
The sum is a sharp reduction
from a $7.5 million school con-
struction bond issue which voters
turned down in a referendum last
November after a campaign in
which the School Board was ac-
cused Of being too extravagant.
The board adopted a resolution
asking the Circuit Court to set a
date for q referendum on the new
proposal. Before the resolution
can be presented to the court, how
ever, it must be approved by the
County Board. School officials
said they would attempt to have
that done later today.
Affidavit Is Submitted.
School Supt. William A. Farley
presented to the School Board
members an affidavit outlining the
classroom situation in the county.
He pointed out that the total
school enrolment In the county
is 16,027. During the 1872
school year, he said, enrolment is
expected to go up to 17,400 and
to 1900 the year after that.
"The capacity Of permanent
elementary classrooms which will
be available this year is 8,070,
which is 1850 less than the pres
ent elementary enrolment" Mr..
Early asserted. 49,.
by the use Of substandard IA
|cilities, including basement rooms
and church rooms, and by over
|crowding Of permanent classrooms.
this excess enrolment is presently
being housed"
Further Crowding Predicted.
He warned that if no additional
facilities are constructed. approx
imately 5000 elementary school
children will have no available
permanent classrooms for the
1872 session, and about 1900
elementary children will be in the
same situation for 1898.
This condition, he said, would
require continued use of SUBJ
standard rooms or double sessions.
Mr.. Early told the board that
by next fall the county expects to
have facilities for 5.400 secondary
school students, but expects an
enrolment of 6.100 by that time
and an enrolment Of $500 for
the 1923 sessions.
Failure to obtain the needed
additional facilities will result in
halliday sessions for about I,400
children in the 1872 session, and
$500 children in 1888 at the
secondary school level" the super
intendent added.
Reduction Is Explained.
School officials said Circuit
Court can set a date for the vote
80 days after receiving a petition
for a referendum.
In adopting the bond issue res
olution. the board declared it had
carefully studied the need for
schools and had held puD.ic hear
ings to determine what tie people
wanted.
When school officials were asked
how they had been able to make
such a sharp reduction in the
amout sought. it was explained
the new bond proposed is for
schools that can be started within
several months after the money
is available. The first bord issue
proposed by the board was to
cover construction over a two
year period.
