The Change Of Commissioners.

Mai. Morrow, as Assistant Engineer
Commissioner and Engineer Commission
or. has made good record as an able
and courageous official. and has rendered
some valued public services to the COM
munity. The good wishes of many Wash
ingtonians will follow him to the new du-
ties as engineer officer to which his trans
fer has assigned him.
Maj. Coshy's assignment to duty as En-
Gineer Commissioner to succeed Maj.
Morrow insures a conscientious. skilful
administration of the office. The new
Commissioner is virtually native WASH
ingtonian. having been born in nearby
Maryland and living here the greater
part of his life. He knows the District
thoroughly, and his recent duties have
acquainted him with an important branch
of the local public works. His transfer
from the aqueduct Office to the District
building is thus merely an extension of
his activities in the service of the Ma
tonal capital. Temperamentally he is ex-
ceptionally qualified to discharge execu-
tive responsibilities, and 1t is confidently
20 be expected that he will meet the re-
quirements of his new assignment in a
manner to win and hold the esteem and
respect of the citizens of Washington.

Snow and SUFFERING.

This beautiful snow" of TODAY NAV
crafty those people who, with warm
houses and clothing. full 1arders and
assured incomes, prefer white to
green Christmas. Tt may be picturesque
and seasonable and all that, but there
is another point of view. There are in
Washington several hundred families
to whom this snow means suffering
Their houses are draughty and damp
and poorly heated: their clothing is
scanty and thin: their food supplies are
insufficient and their incomes cease
with the falling of the white fakes.
The wage earners of these families are
perhaps employed in good weather on
outdoor works which are interrupted
when the snow comes. Then there are
other families without reliable sources
OF income, whatever the weather, to
whom the snow brings added discom-
fort and problems. Some of these
people find employment cleaning off
sidewalks. Many of them become alb
solutely dependent upon public charity.
Now, therefore. is the time to think
of the charity funds. The Associated
Charities is admirably organized to dis
pense the means OF relief and aid con.
