.FAVOnS CUTTING ."REO TAPE"
WOULD SHORTEN
CONTRACT METHODS.
But He Would First Ask Opinion of
Counsel Before Recommend
ing Change of Process.

When asked today regarding the recon-
Garges, chief clerk of the engineer de-
partment. that some method be adopted
to eliminate the red tape" in connection
with the awarding of District contracts,
Commissioner Nacfarland said:
The Commissioners are always anxious
to get suggestions for Improvement of the
municipal. services whether hey come
from within or without, and whenever
practicable they are adopted. In this par
ticular matter the recommendations of
the official in charge will of course re-
ceive prompt and careful consideration.
and if found to be practicable will be
adopted. l should want the advice of the
corporation counsel and the auditor of the
District of Columbia, who are required
to approve 4 contract at different stages,
to see that Il accOrds with the require
ments of the law and the Treasury De-
partment auditing and, accounting regu-
lations. If they agree that the process
can be shortened without sacrificing the
necessary safeguards to protect the DIS
trct government and the District tax
payers. l shall be glad % approve the
shortening of the process. One cause of
delay, namely, the execution of the con-
tract by the contractor, including the
necessary time taken in procuring mis-
bond. is not due to the sO-called red
tape of the District offices. OF course, in
all these matters a government is not free
to act like private corporation, but
necessarily must be bound, as the Dis
trict government is. by many strict re-
quirements of law designed to prevent
possible loss

Md. in a lecture last night before the
Washington Health Club. at 112 c street

Mr.. Bradford said hesWas opposed to the
vaccination of children, adding: 1T is a
crime to put such a deadly poison into
the bodies of innocent children, to en-
danger their lives. and in some cases to
cause death.
What is vaccinatiOn?" he asked. "A
doctor will tell you it is incubation with
vaccine virus. Now, what is this vaccine
virus? 1t is taken from a COW infected
with poison. There is not doctor living
who can tell you what he puts into the
system of child to prevent it having
smallpox.
This vaccine virus was first used by
man who had never received a diploma
from any medical college. a man who had
never experimental with medicine, and
all We Know about him is that he was
called Jenner and that he was an Eng
lishman. 1t was used for the first time
hundreds of years ago, and was simply

have had to pay the penalty for it.
The smallpox in Europe was spread all
over the world by physicians taking poi
son from persons affected with the disease
and placing it in another person, believ-
ing that it would be a preventive for the
disease. Instead, it caused the person
also to succumb to the disease
Mr.. Bradford declared that vaccination
caused 10000 deaths in England annually
