SENATOR HARRIS, of the District Com
mittee, has reported to the Senate bill to
increase the water supply of the District.
The CRITIC has not yet examined the bill
and cannot therefore say whether it does
or proposes to do all that is needed in other
respects. In one thing it is wanting. Itdoes
not propose to abolish the unjust system
of water rents, and to that extent should be
amended. Within day or two The
CRITIC will give its readers the benefit of
complete analysis of the measure.

Fraud has become a regular business

by a host of pension agents who
have grown so rich within few

thing to protect Taxpayers from this
robbery, which could not be carried
on without collision in the Pension
Office. c. AS
