The demand for more school build- ings to keep pace with the rapid in-* crease in population in recent years has gent the school appropriatnon up far above other items. Invite Attention to Roads. It is not the intention of the Dis-, trict officials to question the necessity for pushing ahead the school b\llld- ing program. But officials of the en- gineer department feel that the ehan demonstrates the need for turning at- tention also to the street and road appropriations if the highways of the Natlonal Capital are to be kept in good condition. In the current appropriation act the following is allowed for streets and provements, $140,- 000; for repairs to streets, $575,000, and for the upkeep of suburban roads, | 1$250.000. All of this money could be epent within the nest fow months and still not cover all of the streets and roads || that need repair. The Commissioners, || Rowever, are required by law to make \{ the appropriations for the several de- partments last throughout the fiscal year. To comply with that law, they divide |the appropriations . into quarterly | periods. cadam road, with irregular, bumpy surface. \ | \ i | I | | Opemng Price on Styllsh Fall Suits Pure Woolen F: nbfia—Hand Tailored Buy your fall suit now.

Col. Kutz, Engineer Commissioner, also announced that bids would be sought again this week for a num- ber 4f new asphalt streets author- ized in_the current appropriation act. The first bids, received several months ago, were rejected because the Engineer Commissioner felt they were not as low as they should be. The bids call for the paving with asphalt of the following streets: New Hampshire avenue, Upshur utreev. to and around Grant Circle; nreet. 133 to 14th streets; ll(h street northeast, D street to Maryland ave- nue; 16th street southeast, G street to Kentucky avenue; Kentucky ave- { nue southeast, 15th to 16th streets. Thsse Jobs will aggregate about $73,- !mel Paving Much Needed. The need for better paving on the main highways leading out of Wash- ington is made more apparent by the high-grade surfaces maintained by i Maryland just across the District line. Rhode Island avenue northeast was pointed out by motorists today as a sample of the comparison of Mary- {{land and District roadways.
