Suggests an Inspection.
F. L. Siddons. attorney at law, writes to
the Commissioners today suggesting the ap-
pointment of an inspector and supervisor
of investment concerns in the District. He
says: II think it has become apparent
that we should have in the District an Of
fetal whose duties shall be the inspection,
supervision, and. to some extent, the regu-
lation Of the many and varied savings In
vestment concerns that have made their
appearance here In the last few years.
What legislation there Is affecting to deal
with such matters Is restricted, inefficient,
and quite unsatisfactory and would In no
measure meet the situation OF affairs that
is now charged as existing with certain
building and loan associations operating in
Washington. In New York and elsewhere
departments of the government have been
established charged with the duty OF
watching various financial institutions of
the state. and the officials of these depart
ments clothed with the authority to close
up such as are being dishonesty or badly
managed. With much earnestness I urge
that you recommend to Congress legisla-
ton that shall have for. its object the pre-
vention of the wholesale fleeing of the
poor and illiterate classes that always fall
easy victims to the smoeth-tongued rogues
that promise much for their schemes and
projects, but who perform nothing"
