THE EVENING | | IN ARLINGTON DEVELOPS Pmpoul Rejected at Joint Session as Not Containing Enough Information. A majority report recommending that a tract of land of approximately ten acres, in what is known as the Cruitt estate, be acquired as the site for the proposed new senior and Junior high school for use of Arling- ton and Washington districts, Arling- ton county, Va., last night was submitted to a joint meeting of the county school board and the citizens’ advisory boards of the two districts. After a three-hour discussion of the report it was decided that the docu- ment did not contain sufficlent defi- nite information to warrant action, and the matter was referred back to the committee for further considera- |tion and a more detailed report. Conalders Several Sites. The report called attention to the {fact that the committec had taken under consideration several other sites. One in particular, the Doug- |lass-O'Hara ract, at the northeast {corner of Garrison and Cherry valley Iroads, said.to contaln approximately {seven and one half acres, was second | | choice of the committee. Discussion of both sites indicated a wide division {of opinion, and this fact is another |reagon why the question was refe Ired back o the committee, it is b Iievead o Lamond, chairman of the| school ' board, announced that the board is waiting for the citizens’ {committees to get together on u site. and it was the hope of the board that Lihe Jand finaily decided on would be | recommended by a united fropt. The board fn providing the new schools {authorized by the voters, he said, pro- poses to get 100 per cent value for ] every dollar spent and would not be | | Souged for a high school site. | Prot. Kemp, superintendent of coun- 'ly schools, appealed to the citizeus not iy entertain any thoughts of ladvaniages to individual communi- ties, but to consider the matter solely from a standpoint of convenience and comfort of the bulk of the childres who will attend the school and for the best interests of the districts as a whole. { Architect Is Engaged. { !

Assets of 31,142 In cas and a few securities of small valie were re- ported.

S. SHOW STEADY RISE SINCE 1915| Costs' Were 42 Per Cent Higher lnl " 1922 Than in 1914, Says H 4 Labor Department. I I Taking 1913 as the average/year on which all past and future prices are based, wholesale prices in the United States during 1922 averaged 42 per cent above the 1913 figures, or nearly half again as much as during the Year preceding the beginning of the world war, the Department of Labor announ today. Notwith- standing this rise, prices have drop- ped considerably from the level of 1920, when the index number of t| department showed wholesale prices to.be 226, or 126 per cent above the 1913 level. Nineteen hundred and twenty marked the pe in the price rise, although the index number for 1919 was 206, showing prices to be 108 per cent over the 1913 level. In 192F the index number was 147, & points above the number for 1922, But consider the year 1895 and 1898, when the index number of the de- 'partment showed wholesale prices to be 70, and 1894, when the number was 69, or 31 points below the 1913 level. ‘Wholesale rrlcel remained steadily below the 1913 level from 1890 up to 1910, when they were 1 per cent over the figure for the pre-war year. In 1913 they dropped 1 point below and in 1914 2 points below. But begin- ning with 1915 the steady rise com- mon;r‘i. reaching 177 in 1917 and 19¢'| in_1918. o Perhaps consumers will find some consolation in the fact, as shown by 1 Amal Leather . 1 Am Cot Fabric ptd 101 Am Hawai'an 8 8. 17 Am L & Trac pra.. & Armour of Del pfd 99 32 ‘Atlantic Fruit ... 215 11 Brit-Am Tob Co'cou 201 3 Bklvn City R R. 17 Buddy Buds.. 1 Brit Tntl Corp A. 22 Centrif Tron Pipe. 12 Cent Teresa. 4 Century Rib 9 Chicago Nippl 9 Columbiaa Carbaa. 2 Cleveland Motor.
