The forum voted to back the fight for restoration of the 35 policemen cut off in 1933-34 and for authorization of 100 additional men. A movement is now on foot, it wu| pointed out, to take up the matter with the District committees of the House and Senate. A joint petition will be sought toward this end. Another resolution adopted urged additional playground space and im- provements for Powell Junior High School. The forum recommended purchase of property directly ‘west of the school, running nearly to Six- teenth street, for a play area. A new auditorium and lunch room are also needed, members contended, pointing out the present assembly room and lunch room will accommodate but one-third of the students. Other resolutions indorsed the pro- posal to consolidate all public play- grounds under the National Capital Parks office, and all school and recre- ational facilities in the school board. $100,000 Urged for Center.

With the understanding the Pub- lic Utilities Commission is now operat- ing under a budget of $50,000 = year, the forum adopted a resolution recommended by the executive com- mittee that the 1935-36 appropriation be increased to $120,000. Copies of the resolution were ordered sent the District Commissioners, the Federa- tion of Citizens' Associations and the House and Senate District Commit- tees.
