FOR DISTRICT CHARITIES.
Danger That the Appropriations Will
Not Be Available for Some Time.

Doubt has been raised by the District Com
missioners whether any Of the appropriations
for District charities made by the District APP
preparation act can be expended until after
appointment by the President and confirma-
ton by the Senate OF the superintendent of
charities Provided for by the oct, and until
that officer has examined the whole field, for
mulated general plan for charitable work in
volving possible redistribution Of the several
current appropriations, and such plan has been
approved by the Commissioners. The work
thus mapped out for such superintendent will
necessarily consume much time after he is APP
pointed and confirmed.
The treasures Of most of charitable institu-
tons are empty, and il this view of the law be
maintained much suffering and Inconvenience
will be occasioned. On behalf of some of
these institutions, of which he is q director,
Col. A. T. Britton has submitted brief argu.
ment and has asked if the Commissioners con.
tnue in doubt that they will submit the aues-
ton. to Comptroller Matthews for immediate
decision.
