CRANE LISTS COSTSFOR SCHOOL AREAS

Charges of Critics ReceiveDetailed 3-Year Report

of Expenditures.

A detailed statement showing indi-vidual building expenditures for thresyears for improvements to schoolgrounds was the answer of .Jere J.Crane, school system business manner,last night to school administrationcrities who charged officials with Ignor-ing these needs.

Allowed sloo,OflO a year out of unex-pended balances of school building ap-propriations for "improvements togrounds,'' Mr. Crane accounts for $297,-882.77 spent on school ground land-scaping and playground conditioningfor the fiscal years 1929 to 1931. Bythe end of next month, he said, thissum probably will be increased to thefull SBOO,OOO with completion of worknow under way.

The expenditures listed by Mr. Cranerange from amounts of less than $2 to$22,468.28, the sum spent to convert thebelow-street-level gulley adjoining theGordon Junior High School to a ver-itable garden-stadium. The money, heexplained, was paid for labor and ma-terial in grading and surfacing grounds,aodding terraces, building retainingwalls and fences and planting shrubs.No playground equipment or athleticdevioas are included in these figures.

Lacks Police Protection.In making public these expenditures

Mr. Crane scored the lack of supportgiven the school administration inkeeping up grounds through lack ofparental restraint a* evidenced by chil-dren playing roughly on lawns andplanted areas, and in the lack of ade-quate police protection of school prop-erties against trespassers after srhoy

hours. He said. "We have repeatedlyasked for additional protection, and inIts absence we can rely only upon apublic support, which apparently islacking, too.”

In addition, Mr. Crane made knownseveral ground improvement projectsprovided for in the 1933 estimates newin the hands of the District Commis-sioners. These include $3,000 for theS. J. Bowen School. $5,600 for theBuchanan School, $6,110.32 for the H.D. Cooke School. $15,000 fer the Lang-don School, $5,000 for the Murch, $3,000for Congress Heights.
