Mr. Darneille says the act Of May 8, 1892,
providing for the inspection of all public
records which relate in any way to real and
personal property in the District, has been
found by experience to be too broad in its
provisions giving the public access to the
records, in many instances detrimental to
the proper conduct Of the business Of the
Office, and aiiording temptation to evil-dis-
posed persons to tamper with said records.
Mr Darneille asks that some modification
Of this law be made.
In this particular the GLOBE must take
Issue with MI Darneille's recommendation.
The Public Records are what their title i'm
plies-the property Of the public-and not
of its servants These latter cannot and
must not be clothed with restrictive powers
to their open examination at all times by
the public owning these records, Such
policy is essentially mouarchiCal on the
theory that the king owns everything. If
there are not enough Of public servants, or
If the present ones are overworked because
Of the inspection by the public at all times,
and by all individuals desiring to do so, the
proper remedy is not to clothe such servants
with discretionary and abusive powers as to
whom they will permit to examine them.
Put on more servants, MI. Daneille, or work
the ones you have, say six hours each day
This will not injure them physically and
there are plenty capable citizens willing to
take the jobs Of any Of your servants, at the
present compensation who will willingly
work ten hours each day.
