One Phase of Public School Work Exemplitied. Admiring parents and interested friends by scores thronged the Randall school ‘building yesterday to view the results of the training received during the past year by the pupils in the way of cooking and carpentry. The exaibit in wocd work was arranged to show the systematic training from year to year; first the rough board planed into rectangles, joining, mortising, dovetailing and inlay work; next, finely executed wood carving, as well as book cases, shelves, easeis and other household articles. The work in carpentry was ac- complished under the direction of J. H. Hill. assisted by S. W. Madden, jr. An appetizing odor permeated the cook- ing departmeat, where Miss M. B. Cook presided, assisted by Miss C. G. Arnold. The care of-the stove and the methods of testing the oven for heat were demonsirat- ed, and it was also shown how dishes are cleansed in a “nanner to suit the most fas- tidious. Examples were next set before the visitors of the geography and topography of the various cuts in a side of meat, and the cooking of almost every dish known, prepared in a manner to tempt the most chronic of dyspeptics.

The exhibition of sewing will con- tinue today from 4 p.m. to 730 p.m., and tomorrow from 70 a.m. until 3 p.m. All in- terested are invited to attend. BRIGHTWOOD CITIZENS. ‘Transfers, Gutters aud Fire and Police Needs Discussed. The meeting of the Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Association was held last night at Felter’s Hotel. President W. V. Cox oc- cupied the chair. The other members pres- ent were Secretary Claude F. King, Capt. T. W. Lay, John L. Norris, Dr. C. G. Stone, Edward Fields,John Saul,William Knowles, J. Cook, Theodore Felter and Edward T. Bates. The first important matter which received consideration was the report of Mr. John L. Norris, chairman of the committee ap- pointed to wait upon President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company to ascertain whether it were not possible to secure a transfer system be- tween the 7th street cable road and the Brightwood line. Mr. Norris reported that Mr. Dunlop ‘greed to the introdyction of the same transfer system as now exists between the Brightwood and Metropolitan roads. However, inasmuch as this con- fiicted with the contract with the Metro- politan road, it had to be abandoned. Then Dr. Stone made a report for his committee, which had been intrusted with the work of interviewing the Engineer Com- missioner, Maj. Powell, with respect to the inefficacy of the gutter ways on that part of Brightwood avenue adjoining the Petworth subdivision to contain all the surface water. Maj. Powell, Dr. Stone said, had promised to give immediate attention to the matter. The committee was in- structed to again call the attention of the Commissioner to the need. Notice was called to the fact that the Commissione:s had complied with the re- quest of the association in sinking the pub- lic well situated on Brightwood avenue near Shepherd road to a depth of 150 feet and obtaining a copious supply of wate ‘The secretary was instructed to acknow edge this courtesy and to thank the en- gineer department for so promptly execut- ing the work. President Cox was directed to appoint committees on __ legislation, sanitation, streets, roads, police, fire and lights. In answer to a letter of invitation from the Takoma Welfare Association, read by Capt. Lay, requesting the presence of the members of the Brightwood Avenue Asso- ciation at a celebration to be held the Fourth of July, the secretary was requested to write a note of thanks and acceptance. On motion of Mr. Cook it was resolved to call the attention of the Commissioners to the need of a sidewalk aiong Brightwood avenue between Flint street and Fmory Chape it was decided to lay before the Commissioners the great necessity of a fire engine in this portion of the District. ne) Asks Information.

STREET EXTENSION PLANS A Columbia Heights: Committee Asks Speedy Action. A Call on the Secretary of War—Urg- ing Th&t Ingestice May Be Done ty Delay. A committee, consisting of Francis Col- ton, M. M. Parker nd Robt. Catlin, ap- pointed by Presidentf Ballinger of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens’ “Association, to- day presented to the Secretary of War the following petition in reference to the adop- tion of the first section of the street exten- sion plan: “On behalf of the Columbia Heights Citi- zens’ Association, representing that terri- tory bounded by Florida and Whitney ave- nues and 7th and iith streets, we beg to press upon your attention the urgent ne- cessity for prompt action on your part upon the plans for street extension that are now before you. You will appreciate the fact that the goverament of the United States cannot. in justice create any unnecessary burdens upon any citizens whose interests are affected by such street extension; that "while it is the duty of individuals to sub- mit to all ‘rules and regulations made by Congress, it is also the duty of the govern- meni and those charged with the execution of its laws to execute the same with the least possible injury to the citizen. 3 “It is equally true that from the day the board of Commissioners put its seal of ap- proval upon a plan of street extension for any section every foot of ground contained within the proposed street or avenue area became dead property, totally unfit for use, by its owners; that this condition will con- tinue until the final condemnation of the land, and that during that time the owners are paying taxes thereon, in many cases interest upon trusts upon the same, and yet building thereon is not to be thought of, and in case of trusts maturing thereon the owners cannot hope to be able to borrow any money whatever on such property. “It is apparent from the act of Congress under which you are acting that Congress evidertly appreciated these. facts, and sought to create a law that would, if en- forced, speedily settle all questions of dam- ages, etc., that might arise, as is evidenced by the fact that, after you shall have agreed upon any plans, the proceedings in court for condemnation of the ground taken for new or changed streets shall take pre- cedence over all other, except criminal cases, and we submit that it is not in ac- cord with the spirit of the act itself, nor consistent with the best interests of the District of Columbia, or that of the owners of real estate that may be affected by any plans that are or may be before you, that any unnecessary delay be indulged. “It may not be amiss to suggest that If any person be dissatisfied with the plans that are or may be before you such person is very likely to be heard from in the shape of a protest, while the great majority of persons who are willing to submit to such plans will never be heard from. Neither is it just to the many that the objections of the few should seriously delay your action in the premises. If such objections be fatal to the plaps presented to you and cannot be overcome, then justice to all parties re- quires the same prompt action at your hands that should follow if the plans were approved by you. “Our association feels a deep interest in the subject and cannot too strongly urge upon you the absolute necessity for prompt action on your part, to the end that the plans before you be either approved, modi- fied or rejected, so that parties, owners, may know what theyvown and be in a con- dition to act accordiagiy. We further beg to say that our association. numbers 130 owners and residents; and that while there may be individual hardships and individual objections here and thete to the plans now before you, yet, without a dissenting voice, the resolution hereto) attached was unani- mously adopted at a well-attended meet- ing of our members, held on the 4th in- stant. We ask for no -hardship to be in- filcted upon any man, nor do we wish any person to be cut off from his just right for compensation for amy damage he or she may sustain. But we insist that the gen- eral public must be considered before in- dividuals and that delay in your action must be @ public calamity.
