AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, Many Local Notes of Interest to West Washington Citizens. The old Davis mansion, 3017 O street, has been leased by the District authorities for School purposes. The rent is understood to be $1,000 per year. Mr, H.W. Blunt is the owner of the property. The house is a very large, plain-looking structure, somewhat baek from the street, and was recently oc- cupied as a private school, under the diree- tion of Prof. Mason. The District will take possession in July and make some neces- Sary renovations. The building will b& tsed probably to accommodate students of the higher grades, about two hundred of whom can be accommodated. The supervis- ing principal, Mr. Janney, will remove his office to the new school building, thereby leaving every room in the Curtis building for high schoo! purposes. The new school has an ample playground. School Trustee Jesse H. Wilson says that the leasing of the new building was found absolutely necessary. The Georgetown schools have been greatly crowded this year, and the next session promises a perfect deluge of High School pupils. As there is no appro- Priation available for the purchase of 2 building the leasing of one was the only thing left to do. Grand Visitation. Last night the semi-annual grand visita. tion was made to Covenant Lodge, No. 13, I. O. O. F.
