Maryland Training School for Colored Girls

This institution, located at Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, cares for
82 delinquent colored girls. Certain minor repairs and improvements are
badly needed to maintain this property in proper condition, and for this purpose
I am recommending an allowance of $5, 000 from the General Construction Loan.
