CUPOLA OSSN AT SCHOL SERED Plans for Taft Junior High Altered for Economy, Citi- zens Are Informed. A vigorous protest against the refusal of the District Commissioners to build a cupola on the Taft Junior High School, as originally planned, was reg- istered last night by the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens' Association at their first Fall meeting in Sherwood Hall. Unanimously adopting a resolution presented by William 8. Torbert, the association criticized the action of the | board in declining their “just and rea- | sonable request.” A letter from the| Commissioners sald the Engineer Com- missioner had advised that because of | financial conditions he is unable to recommend the inclusion of the cupola. | George L. Gee, chairman of the| Schools Committee, reported that the | original appropriation for the school was $450,000. but this was cut to $405.- | 000 under the economy act. The con- tract awarded for the school totals only $338,092. If the cost of the cupola, $3,875, is added to the contract price, there would still remain a surplus of $63,000 of the amount appropriated by Congress, Mr. Gee said. Construction of pedestrian under- passes on Rhode Island avenue at Queens Chapel road, Twentieth street and Central avenue, was suggested by James May and referred to the Streets Committee. In view of recent police raids on al- Jeged bootlegging establishments in the community, W. H. Scott asked that real estate agents be asked to exercise care in renting property within the associa- tion’s territory. The assoclation voted to participate | in the celebration of the improvements along Rhode Island avenue in Mount, Rainier on October 15, but declined to| enter a float in the Washingtong Halloween parade. | ———— | BUSINESS MEN ELECT THREE FOR FEDERATION R.
