Plan District Work by Three DC Commissioners Under New Laws
District commissioners assign duties for street extensions, public schools, water meters, and public playgrounds under the district appropriation act. Extensions include T street northeast and Nineteenth Street, with a major aim to restore westward outlets for northeast residents. Bridges over rail lines, quarry contracts, and public comfort stations are planned, while two new school sites are designated in divisions five and thirteen to relieve Curtis Randall Beil. Water meters cost 15 dollars each, to begin with commissioners’ homes, and a wharf for a proposed fireboat is discussed alongside replacement of wooden stairways at several school buildings. Old Police Court demolition follows current district plans.

Tuition Schedule Proposed by Commissioner Macfarland
Board of education report shows not more than 200 pupils face tuition for public school attendance. Macfarland recommends monthly rates by grade level ranging from $110 for first grade to $696 for manual training schools, with $435 for normal schools and $490 for high schools, reflecting a broad tuition framework for nonresident children in Washington.
