AN ADVERSE REPORT.
The Commissioners Oppose the Bill
Concerning Medical Practice.

The Commissioners Oppose the Bill
Concerning Medical Practice.
The Commissioners yesterday made an
adverse report on the bill referred to them
by the House Committee on the District
providing that all citizens Of the District
Of sound mind who are not under convic-
tion for any crime shall be entitled to the
right and privilege Of selecting their own
physician. to employ and compensate them
for their services.
The Commissioners state that in their
opinion it would be the greatest misfOr-
tune if the bill should be enacted into
law, inasmuch as il would not only remove
all safeguards TO the individual in the
matter Of medical practice. but il would
utterly destroy the usefulness that the
Health Office is now able to provide as to
the spread Of contagious diseases.
Ii is not believed that any reputable
physician would be in favor of-the passage
of such a bill, the report Of the Commits
sioners further states as those who are
competent to perform their duties prop
erly are not afraid of. nor do they object
to, supervision. The Commissioners state
in conclusion that the bill is not only re-
turned with an adverse report. but with
the earnest request that it be not allowed
to pass.

The bill authorizing the erection Of a

District Government which was intro
duced in the House by Mr.. Mercer, is cal
culated to provide commodious quarters
for the employees Of the local government,
and at the same time add to the archi-
tectural beauty of the city. Though it is
understood that the building will be
erected on the south side Of Pennsylvania
Avenue, the exact point has not yet been
decided upon. 1t may be that the lot that
is the property Of the District will be
utilized. and the building stand in front
OF the Center Market, though this is but
