The school board had hoped to pro- vide Manor Park with temporary school accommodations by using money from the building and repair fund either to rent or purchase a house. Supt. Frank W. Ballou, after an investigation, reported to the board that the repair fund could not be_used legally for such a purpose. Establishment of a school for the children of Potomac Heights in the community house in that territory also was authorized by the board.
