Members of the association claimed that over 2,000 students were turned | away from night school this year be- cause of lack of facilities. They also | claimed that Central, the nearest | school to their neighborhood, was too far for pupils to travel, and that West- | ern had all the equipment necessary for another night school. The association asked that P. W. A. | funds be used to construct three court buildings in Judiciary square. These buildings would house the Traffic, Juvenile and Municipal courts. Copies of this resolution were sent to the District Committees of the House and Senate. Another resolution asked the Na- tional Park Service to improve Fort Bayard Park by the construction of paths, sidewalks, benches and retain- ing walls. ‘The investigation of gas rates by the Public Utilities Commission was approved. The association asked that this investigation be continued and the rates lowered if conditions war- ranted.

George Matthews, colored, was given & $25 suspended fine on a charge of disorderly conduct yesterday by Police Court Judge Ralph Given, who told nim he had too much guidance from the wrong type of persons.
