Crane, school system business manager, last night to school administration critigs who eharged officials with ignor- ing Eeu needs. Allowed $100,000 & year out of unex- pended ‘halances of school building ap- i propriatiens for “improvements to ds,” Mr. Crane accounts for $207,- 882.77 spent on schocl ground land- scaping and playground conditioning for the fiscal years 1929 to 1831. By the end of next month, he said, this sum ly will be increased to the full $300,000 with completion of work now under way. ‘The expenditures listed by Mr. Crane Tange from amounts of less than $2 to $22,458.28, the sum spent to convert the below-street-level gulley adjoining the Gordon Junior High School to a ver- itable garden-stadium. The money, e m?‘; pa!dd!ar rflsbl\;‘r and m g and surfacing grounds, s0ds terraces, building retaining walls and fences and planting shrubs. No ound equipment or athletic devices are included in these figures. Lacks Police Protection. In making public these expenditures Mr. Crane scored the lack of support given the school administration in keeping up grounds through lack of parental restraint as evidenced by chil- dren playing toughly on lawns and planted areas, and in the lack of ade- quate police protection of school prop- erties against trespassers after schoy hours. He said: “We have repeatedly asked for additional protection, and in its absence we can rely only upon a public support, which apparently is , too. In addition, Mr. Crane made known several ground improvement projects for in the 1933 estimates now the hands of the District Commis- sloners, These incude $3,000 for the 8. J.
