FILING OF ANNUAL REPORTS
BILL TO REGULATE CORPORA.
TONS IN THE DISTRICT.
Amending the Code by Adding
Penalty to Law for Failure
to Comply.

Inc Commissioners today forwarded to
Chairman Smith Of sthe District commit
tee of the Hoouse of Representatives tbe
draft of a bill which proposes to amend
the District code of law so as to insur.
the filing of annual reports by domestic
corporations. The code at present pro-
vides that these reports shall be filed
with the recorder Of deeds but II uee,ects
to provide such a penalty as insures the
observance Of the law. This proposed
amendment. which was drafted by Com
missioner West, provides a penalty. and
is looked upon by the Commissioners az
the only means of insuring the observe
ance of the law as it was intended
Since January 1. 1902. when the Dis
trict law went into effect. NOR. than
1000 incorporation papers have been filed
for record Dy the recorder Of deeds. The
great majority of such papers were GER
tificates Of incorporation of companies
organized under the District statutes
that is, companies formed for business
purposes and for gain. 1t Is estimate
by the recorder that at least 5000 such
concerns have been organized here since
1902. but less than 600 of these 5000
companies have. during the present year
nied the annual reports which the law
requires of them. The Commissioners
contend that the number complying with
law grows smaller each year
The bill under consideration makes the
law effective by authorizing prosecutions
against all corporations failing to COM
ply with the law. with the view Of re-
straining them from doing business i'm the
District. while 1t also makes any willful
false swearing In regard to any certifi-
cate. report. statement or notice required
by chapter Is Of the code relating to cor
porat!ons perjury and punishable as
such, and also makes any misa pprpria-
ton of any money of any organization
formed under the provisions OF the Dis
ishable as such, well as the misappro-
priation of any money. funds or property
intrusted to such corporation.

School Matters Considered.

d. NJ. Hildreth, chairman of the school
committee submitted verbal report upon
school matters. He urged the association
10 do what il could in the matter of urg-
ing Congress TO pass the bill containing
the estimates of the board of education
for new buildings and improvement of old
ones saving all the buildings should be
made fireproof. He also suggested that
the school authorities return to the prac-
tce of giving graduating certificates to
eighth grade pupils. The giving of such
certificates. he thought. would be the
means of increasing the attendance in the
higher grades.
W. Mosby Williams suggested that
there should be doors in the fronts of all
school buildings to decrease the danger
in event of fire. The basement playrOOms
we're also condemned. the statement being
made that sucn places would prove to be
death traps in case of fire.
S. W. Curriden declared that the room
on the upper floor of the Ketcham build
ing is being used as an assembly room.
The room, he said. is connected with the
lower floor by two narrow frame stair
WAYS and should fire occur there it
would be impossible for the teachers and
children to be saved

interest was shown in the matter of get
ting better car service for the residents
Of East Washington. and Mr. NJ. ]. Wei
Ter made an effort TO revive the question
of establishing direct water connection
between this city and Baltimore. He
spoke of the great importance of estab-
fishing such connection. saying 1t would
not only assist both cities commercially.
but would be of great assistance in the
work of protecting Washington in event
Of war with foreign nation. Mr.. Weller
presented his views TO the members of
he association in the form of pream-
bic and resolutions. which recited that:
Tine long cherished plan to provide for
Il more direct water communication he
tween the harbors of Washington and
Baltimore. by means of an ample paved
ship canal. constructed from the Eastern
branch either to the Severn or the Pa
tapsco river. as outlined in the report
Of Col. s. T. Albert. under date of De-
cember %. 1915, and submitted to Con-
gress January -, 1876. by the Secretary
of War. would he of incalculable benefit
to the commerce of these two ports. as
we'll as furnish adequate protection to
the nations capital in the stress of war
and bring the naval gun factory closer to
Chesapeake bay and its tributaries. and
whereas the steady flow Of water through
a sea-level ship canal of not less than
100 feet in width and thirty feet in depth
would serve also the purpose of keeping
the channel of the Eastern branch clear
of distractions: and whereas it is desir-
able for manifold reasons. that the con-
troll of this ship canal should remain I'M
der the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States. and that its construction
should be undertaken in connection with
the reclamation of the Eastern branch of
the Potomac river:
The East Washington Citizens Asso-
citation is of the decided opinion that the
suspicious time has arrived to construct
a national ship canal from the Eastern
branch to such a point ENTHUSIASTICALLY
will be discovered. after proper sur
veys have been made. to be most adj
vantageous in altitude of the land. short
ness of routes and least expensive in
cost.
The resolution was referred TO the ex-
ecutive committee with power to take
such action as its members should deem
advisable.
