HEAVY BOND REQUIRED
OF THE COMMISSIONERS
Lawyers Regard 1t as an
Unnecessary Burden.
RELIC OF THE ORGANIC ACT
Imposed Originally When Commission
ers Were Discussing OfhceTs-Engi-
neer Member Not Bonded.

Attention was called 10 the fact today
At the District building that The bond
required OF each Of the Commissioners
from civil life is out Of all proportion
to the responsibilities assumed by them.
The amount OF the bond required Of
these two Commissioners is prescribed
in section 2, paragraph :, Of the act Of
1873. to be s5O,O00-
Owing 10 the fact that the Engineer
Commissioner is an officer OF the
United States Army and the rules that
pertain there, no bond is required Of
him. though he has equal responsibility
with the civil Commissioners in the
municipal government. IN fact, his re
sponsibiIity is greater than theirs. as IL
is under his supervision that The con
tracts for public work are written and
the specifications made ready for sign
ing. In q majority Of cases II is be
ieyed the work OF the civil Commits
sioneTs in these matters is largely
clerical, they afixing their signatures
without full knowledge Of the contents
OF the papers
Required by Organic Act
The bend OF the civil Commissioners
was required in the organic act because
these men IN the early years OF the
present form OF government were the
disbursing officers Of the District. They
made acquisitions upon the United
States Treasury for money TO pay mu-
nicipal obligations and actually paid It
out IN checks signed by themselves. Sew
eral years ago, however, a disbursing
officer was created by Law, and this duty
was assigned 10 him. He is properly
bonded and handles all the District
funds under The head of disbursements.
It Is held. therefore, BY lawyers and
others that requiring bond from the
civil Commissioners is no longer neces-
sary. II puts a needless burden upon
them, costing each OF them $3.50 per al
mum 10 the company giving the bond.
It was not thought advisable when the
law was enacted creating the disburs-
ing officer 10 change the original act
relative 10 the bonding Of the Commits
sioners, because they were still charged
with entering into contracts for public
work Il was considered best At that
time TO leave the bond as It vas before
Il is certain. however. that in practice
this responsibility is rather imaginary
than real. and those best informed in
District affairs are OF the opinion that
the bond should either be entirely re-
moved OF much reduced.

On She other hand, it is held by many
tnat the whole natter could be safely

xnissioners. as II Is TO the Engineer
