Trustees to Have Control.

Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury,
has given an opinion to the District Com
missioners, that the District inspector Of
buildings should not have supervision over
the repairs to the Columbia Hospital, for
which Congress made special appropria-
ton of 5000 The controller says it is ap-
parent from reading Of the provision that
only new construction or repairs amount
ing to reconstruction would come under
the supervision of the District inspector,
and that as the repairs in question are
not of that character, it is his opinion that
the trustees of the hospital should have
full control of the disbursement of the ap-
pre- priation.
