Will Press Matter at the
Next Session of
Congress.
WOULD SAFEGUARD
PUBLIC INTERESTS
Thinks Scheme Would Not Result
in Creating Trust and End
ing Competition.

The proposition to enact a law which
will authorize the appointment OF a
master builders examining board and
which would provide for the examina-
ton and licensing of persons as mas
ter builders by the District Commits
sioners meets with the hearty approval
OF Commissioner West, who said that
every effort will be made by the Com
missioners at the next session Of Con
gress to secure the enactment OF the
desired law.
NO one in the Dis riot of Columbia, !"
said Commissioner West, can practice
law, medicine or dentistry, nor can any
one assume charge of a steam boiler
or engine without undergoing an e2-
animation 20 show his fitness for the
performance of responsible duties At
the present time anyone can take ous
q building permit and no authority Is
vested anywhere for an investigation
as to the expertness or ability OF the
person to undertake thu work for which
the permit IS issued.
There is no question but that the
public would be much better safe
guarded II licenses were Issued only 20
builders who can prove their ability
and who could be held responsible in
ample security for the faithful perform
ance OF all work in compliance with the
building regulations
The only objection ever raised 20
the proposition came from persons who
said that they could not afford TO pay
the annual license fee Of So or furnish
proper bond. and who claimed that the
licensed builders would form a truss
which would destroy competition and
result in higher prices II does not seem
to me that this objection Is well found
Ell. and personally 1 believe that II only
competent builders were licensed and
we're subject 20 the revocation OF their
licenses in the event that they proved
unworthy or incompetent. the situ5tion
in the District would be greatly I'M

THE number Of licensed builders
would always be large enough 20 insure
