Replacing Original Aim. The bill providing the school orig- inally called for *replacing” the pres- ; ent school. When it left the Senate committee, however, it called for ap- | propriation of $50,000 for a site “in the vicinity of the Slater-Langston Hehool.” District architect's office to- reported the objectionable site had been definitely declded upon and plans were being drawn for construct- ; ing the school upon it. The Parent-Teacher Association pe-' titioned the superintendent of schools to suspend building operations. In Lis reply he said the site had ‘been, gineer Commissioner's office, the municipal architect and members of the congressional appropriations com.- | mittees. The argument for moving lhn‘ hool across two car tracks and' ny blocks from the ‘present sehool that the money appropriated, ! 0,000, would not buy the four lots near the present school on O street } between 4th and 5th streets, and ' that the land reclaimed from the;A., swamp was cheaper -and near two other schools which could use the ! assembly hall of the new structure. i The municipal architect and As. sistant Engineer Commissioner | Wheeler agreed that the subrerra- | nean stream was a menace, but said it could be overcome by lhc expend- , iture of extra money. To this the Parent-Tacher Association object- | ed on the ground that if extra money ‘were to be spent out of the $250,000 appropriated for the building, lhe; building would be reduced in size or equipment. Maj. Wheeler argued for the new site on the ground that after mem- bers of Congress had been taken fo | see it and had decided upon it, the District would have “to keep faith"” despite the later knowledge of the underground morass, the superinten- dent’s letter said. Peyser has referred the mat- Gen. Samu Ansell; e B el el mittee _on appropriations, and to David Babp, chalrman of the school expansion committee.
