Resolution Calls for Investi- gation of Elactricity In- stallation in City Schools. Following discussions which tended to show waste and inefliciency in in- stalling electricity in public schools of the city, the District of Columbia | Public School Association last night | unanimously adopted a resolution calling for an investigation of light- | ing systems now established in cer-| tain schools and to make & complete study of the methodsused to place electric lights in classrooms. Em- bodied in the resolution was a Te- quest to have electric lights in- stalled in every school in the District ’ Wwhere electricity is available. Give Instances of Waste. Statements of members declared more money is being spent in install- ing electricity in the schools than re- quired. Mrs. W. T. Bannerman said the estimated cost of wiring and|mn lighting a school was $1,000, but she was charged only $300 for having electrity installed in her house of fifteen rooms. Ira B.
