QUESTION FINALLY SETTLED.
Trustees of Girls Reform School Au-
thorized to Make Contract

After a controversy Of three years be-
tween the District Commissioners and the
board Of trustees Of the Reform School for
Girls as to who is invested with the au-
thority to advertise for bids and enter
into contract for the construction of a
building for the male employees at the
school the question has been settled by Con-
troller Tracewel1 of the Treasury Depart
ment who decided that the trustees Of the
institution have the authority and that the
plans are to be approved by the Commits
sioners.
Upon the motion of Commissioner Biddle
the Commissioners approved the plans for
the proposed buildings and have forwarded
them to the architect Col. Biddle stated
that the decision of the controller that the
duty of the Commissioners regarding this
proposed construction is confined to the
passing upon plans and the disbursing Of
the money necessary, is perfectly salts
factory to the Commissioners, as it relieves
them of the necessity Of supervision of the
erection of this building. He said that it
was upon the recommendation OF the Com
missioners that the opinion of the cen
troller was asked by the authorities of the
Reform School for Girls.
tt , erection of the building for the male
employees of this institution was provided
for in act of Congress passed March 3,
1903. The act also appropriated $1,000 for
the work, but as the same act provided
appropriations for a number of public
schools in the District which were to be
erected under the supervision Of the Com
missioners complications arose over the
question Of supervising the work at the re-
form school. The authorities of the school
held that the act creating their body In
vested them with the authority to super
wise the erection of thu school and all other
buildings in connection with 1t. and the
Commissioners contended that tnasmuch as
the money for the work was In their hands
and they being responsible for its disburse-
ment they were entitled to full knowledge
of the work as 1t was to be contracted for
This question of authority remained un-
settled until last June, when the con-
troller rendered his decision, which he for
warded to the authorities of the school,
but 1t was not until yesterday when the
latter submitted the decision to the Com
| missioners that they knew Of the decision
| which had been made by the controller
nearly six months ago.

cation here, heartily approves of the ap-
peal. The communication promulgated by
the Monument Association says. in part:
If we can have the generous aid Of con-
rederate organizations generally. mere
plttance from each member would enable
US to build here at the national capital such
monument as would be source Of pride
to all ex-confederates, and to their de-
scendants for generations to come.
THE United States government has gen.
erously gathered into a section of its ma

marble headstone, are all ranged in cir
cies about common center, trees have
been planted, and the grass grows green
above them; beautifully graveled walks
lead from all directions to a central
mound, planned as the site of a memorial.
But that mound is vacant. Shall it re-
main so?
