"THE EVEN G~ STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1927. :___—P__ FUNDS FOR DISTRICT SCHOOLS [ttt st s INCREASED $345,000 FOR 1928 $11.998.015 in City Supply Bill Includes Higher Appropriations for Salaries, Maintenance and New Construction. Capiral o the last Dis- a series on ovement resulting asvropriation Ui plans. for With the exception of the request for more teachers, which Congress was unwilling to grant until the Bureau of Efficiency completes a survey of the school system, public school appro- priations for the next fiscal year sur- pass the allowances for the current vear in many respects, particularly for n the building program. - all of the varied needs of the schools, includir ries, mainte- nance and new construction, the act for the 12 months beginning July 1 contains a total of $11,998,015, which is close to $1,000,000 more than was ated for the current fiscal act was being con- sldered in Congress public interest centered around the proposal for 74 additional teachers to meet the expan- sion of the system, with the result 1ses allowed for other phases education did not attract as tention as they would have Liberal on B Although C ing Program. s decided to post- any increase in_the number of it was more liberal than last vear in advancing work on the school building program. For building: rent fiscal ye proximately $3 the to officials include $154,000 for the Park School, as original ted in 1925 and reappropriated 9 If this item is omitted from the calculation the total for the cur- rent year becomes § ,000. Using this basis for comparison, the amount allowed for buildings and grounds for the coming 12 months is in reality an Increase of $498,250 over the 1927 law. Counting the funds just appropri- ated for the 12 months beginning July 1, Congress now has made available a total of approximately $9,300,000 toward the five-year building program, which was authorized by substantive law in February, 1925, and which s’ to cost in the aggregate $20,185,000. Really Seven-Year Program. The school building act was labeled a five-year program, but on the basis of annual allotments made thus far it appears likely the work will extend over at least a seven-year period. To make it a five-year proposition would require $4,037,000 a year. Three in- stallments have been appropriated to date, as follows: First year, §4,013,000; second year, $2,450,000, and third year, $2,794,250. It is apparent from these figures that the bullding pro- gram could be kept within a five- year period only by exceptionally large sums in the next two District appro- priation bills, and officials have about reached the conclusion that will not be possible. Although the new law carries less than one-fifth of the five-year pro- hool officlals: are gratified ngress gave them a substan- tial increase over this year for push- ing forward with work on new school houses. While the new act was pass- ing through the various legislative stages the school building items, like ny others, were changed back and th, Items Remaining in Bill Here are the construction and land- purchase items that remained in the bill as it finally passed: For continuing work on the new McKinley High School, $1,000,000; to complete the rnet-Patterson Junior High, $275,000; to complete Gordon Junior High, $275,000: to complete Langley Junior High addition, $375,- 000: to erect a four-room extensible building in Potomac Heights, $85,000; to erect an eight-room addition and assembly hall at the Barnard School, $175,000; to erect a 16-room building, including assembly hall and gym- nasium, in place of the Langdon School, $275,000; to erect a six-room addition to the Bryan School and to remodel the present building, $125,000; to erect an eight-room addition: to the To prepare plans for a junior high school in Brightwood, similar to the Macfarland Junior High, $5,000; to prepare plans for a 24-room building and assembly hall at Nineteenth street and Columbia road, $12,500; to prepare plans for a gymnasfum and nssembly hall at the Wheatley School, $1,500, and to prepare plans for an eight-room addition to the Morgan 8chool, including assembly hall and gymnasium, $3.000.

While this money for the next fiscal year will be subject to the price limitation of 25 per cent above assessed value, the new law contains a provision under which $154,000 of this year's appro- priation for land will until December 31, 1927, without the price limitation. Congress also inserted W provision in the new law to aid the authorities in acquiring the proposed athletic field for Western High School. The provision states that the $125,000 ap- propriated for the field in 1925 shall remain avallable until June 30, 1928 and shall be removed from the price limitation, One item which contributed to the total Increase in school appropriations for next year aside from the bullding program ‘was the necessity for ap. propriating $350,000 for the teachers’ retirement fund, as compared with $70,000 under that heading in the cur- rent law. The increase is made nec- essary by an act of Congress ap- proved in 1926, requiring the District to provide a reserve to protect the an- nuities of the teachers.

They explained that there is a regular program worked out for the replacement of obsolete and worn tooks. The allowance of §200,000 for this year was intended to speed up the replacements and was more than the average annual installment for this purpose. The fund for janitor service in the case of building been raised from $545,000 to The allot- ment for teache aries in the new law is 640, an increase of $98,- 340.
