About so citizens attended the
School Boards hearing in the

set for 8 p m. May 26 at Madison

The total proposed budget is

At last nights meeting, a num-
Der OF speakers questioned the
boards proposal that Supt. Irwin
H. Schmitt serve also as principal
Iof the new high school in the
coming school year.
John A. johnson, board chair
man, said the decision was made
for economy reasons and was ap-
proved for only the coming year.
Board Member Richard Saint
sing said the plan. coupled with
moving board Offices from a pri-
vate building to the new George
Mason High School, would save
more than $4,000.
Another proposed economy move
would drop bus transportation for
high school students.
Board Member Oliver Caldwell
said the board is using available
funds to provide courses that
would assume accreditation of the
school.
A member of the City Council.
Samuel E. McCrary, challenged
this statement. He said a number
of things in the budget, such as a
full-time nurse and a psychologist.
have nothing to do with accredita-
ton by colleges.
Would Pay Men More.
Joseph A. Carlo, football coach
at Woodrow Wilson High School
in the District, proposed that the
board consider a higher salary
scale for men teachers. Men
teachers find 1t difficult to support
ia family on the base salary. he
said.
Mr.. Schmitt said he had worked
i'm a school system where men
teachers were paid more than the
women.
1T worked all right, except you
had dissatisfied women teachers"
he said
The superintendent added that
experts on school salaries are op-
posed to having different scales
for men and women teachers.
Mayor Charles E. kellogg and
Councilman w. Raymond Taylor

State Widens 7 Road!
In Montgomery and
Frederick Areas

Two highways in the Montgom-
ery-Frederick County area now
are being widened by the Mary
land State Roads Commission.
A convict force is working on
a f1ve-mile stretch on Route %,
Northwest of Rockville between
Darnestown and Hunting Hill, ac-
cording to District Highway Engi-
neer Edgar Duncan of Laurel.
The 18-foot macadam roadway
is being widened to % feet by
adding shoulders of the same ma
terial. Route % further west of
Darnestown had been widened
within the last three years. The
only stretch remaining after the
present project is completed is
about four miles between Hunting
Hill and Rockville.
Route % carries traffic from
Rockville over to the Point of
Rocks Bridge leading into Vir-
ginia by way of Jacksonville,
Beallsville and Dickerson.

mac crossing.
Thomas Mohler, district engi-
neer at Frederick said Route Is is
being widened from its intersec-
ton with Route 240, just south of
Frederick, to the railroad crossing
at Limekiln. Route Is is a north
south Federal highway. This por-
ton carries traffic from the Fred
erick area to the Point of Rocks
Bridge and also into the western
area OF Montgomery County by
way of the Route % connection.
Mr.. Mohler said he and Mr..
Duncan had recommended that
Route % be given a new surface

but that the State Roads Commits
sion has not acted on the matter.

School Is Advocated
For Brookings Tract
By Alexandra Board

A 20-room elementary school
was advocated by the Alexandria
School Board last night for the
Brookings Tract in the area re-
Gently annexed by the city from
Fairfax County. 1t would cost
about 100000.
Following a recommendation OF
Supt. T. c. Williams, the board
approved the 12-acre school site
which the City Council accepted
Tuesday night. The council had
approved a multiple housing prof.
ect for the 54-acre Brookings
Tract, located between Leesburg
pike and Braddock road.
The School Board authorized a
letter to the council pointing out
that a school should be construct
ed along with the development sc
it will be ready when the apart
ment units are occupied.
Urges Dual-Use Schools.
Mrs. Dan E. Kerbel suggested
that new school buildings be con.
structed so portions of them Car
be opened for community purpose.
after school hours. She referred
to a recent visit to the Kate Wal
Ter Barrett Elementary School ir
Arlington where a multi-purpose
room is put to such use.
Mr.. Williams said he favored
community use of schools and
that the school cafeterias in Alex
andria are suitable for this pur-
pose.
Edward o. Reed suggested that
school officials attempt to locate
a site in the Hume area of Del
Ray to relieve the Mount Vernon
School. The council on Tuesday
had turned down a request fol-
a large apartment delevopment
IN that section. the owners OF
which Dad offered the school
board an 8.4-acre tract at $4,000
an acre.
MIR. Williams said this figure is
too high. He said the older section
of the Mount Vernon School can
not be used indefinitely and that
any site considered should be
large enough for an 800-pupil ele-
mentary school and should allow
for expansion.
$191,8O0 Available from State.
Mr.. Williams told the board it
can expect $171,000 from the
State for construction this year
plus another $4,000 for the 942
students in the area annexed by
the city.
He explained that due to the
lack of high school facilities,
eighth grade students will remain
in Jefferson School next year. He
said they will be given as many
advantages as possible. including
vocal and instrumental music,
home economics and shop.
The board also:
Appointed 26 teachers.
Approved expenditure of $2,300
for tile floors at Lee-Jackson
school.
Allocated $4,000 for 500 lockers
at Jefferson School.
Set its next regular meeting for

Bond Issue Plans Disclosed.
Mr.. Early. at a press conference
yesterday. disclosed details of the
proposed 1928 million school con-
struction bond issue to be voted on
in Q special election May q.
Mr.. Early said information on
the bond proposal will be dis
tributed to voters by more than
600 volunteer workers in a door,
to-door canvass.
The bond proposal is designed
to provide classroom space for an
additional 1920 children by the
school term of 1856.
Mr.. Early said that even though
bonds may be approved this month
the classroom shortage will re-
main acute until the fall of 1853.
Near End of Program.
Mr.. Early said the county Is
nearing the end of it's school
building program but said more
bond issues will be necessary to
provide for the school population
which is increasing at the rate
of $500 a year.
He estimated that at least two
bond issues of approximately 81
million each will be required, one
in 1855 and one in 1857 before the
county's school needs will be ade-
quately met. He said it is pos
sible that third bond issue would
be necessary if the county's rate
of growth should take another
surge forward. The school super
intendent estimates the county
lost 81 million when voters failed
to approve a $7.2 million bond is
sue in 1850. Increased land and
construction costs since that time
caused the loss of funds, he said.
Building Plans Listed.
Elementary school construction
planned from proceeds of the pro-
posed bond issue, include:
Tuckahoe and Taylor as new
|14-room schools, additions to the
Bancroft. Langston, Madison and
Henry schools, totalling 26 rooms,
IA 10-rOom unit to be included
with the construction of the new
Page Scnool, for which funds are
already available, and new school
in the Glencarlyn area of IA rooms.
Secondary school construction
would include a 600-pupil unit to
be added to the Wakefield Junior
Senior High School for which bids
were let this month, renovations
OF the Westinghouse and Hoff-
man-Boston High Schools, and
the Thomas Jefferson and Swan
son Junior High Schools. 1t will
also include funds to construct a
new junior high school, to be
named Williamsburg in North Arl-
ington, with a capacity of 1,2OO.
