they believe that the administrative du-
ties and executive control of charities and
correctional matters could with advantage
to the public service be transferred to a
single executive. Who would report di-
rectly to the Commissioners
The board of Commissioners is the ex-
ecutive authority of the District of Co.
that the control of the expenditure of all
appropriations made by Congress for any
purpose of the District of Columbia
should be vested in them. In no other
way can there be a proper coordination
among the various functions of municipal
government.
Boards Conclusions.
The purposes of the bill under consid-
GRAFTON are, therefore. believed by the
Commissioners to be wise and in the in
terest of efficient and economical admin
istration. They further believe that the
bill is worded so as to accomplish the end
desired
The bill has been carefully drafted so
as not to interfere with the present or
ganization of the school system or OF
charities except to provide for each
proper executive head. The board Of edu-
cation is now appointed by the judges OF
the Supreme Court of the District of CO.

Purposes Of the Law.

The purposes of the law providing for
the superintendent were to secure "a
more equitable and efficient expenditure
of the several sums appropriated for
charities
Previous to that time there had been
no methodical supervision of charities
and the appropriations made to the vari-
Gus charitable institutions were expended
by them without such supervision.
The dut! of this superintendent, as
laid down in the law, included the formu-
lation of plan system for eXpendi-
lures for charities in the District in such
manner. by consolida ton combina ton
or other direction. as best to secure the
ends contemplated by the several insti-
tutions and associations for which APP
propriations we're made. with the least
interference. each with the other. Or mis-
application OF effort or expenditure, and
without duplication OF charitable work
Dr. expenditure.
II was provided that all such appropria-
lions should be expended under the gen.
eral direction of the superintendent in
conformity with such a system or plan,
subject to the approval OF the board OF
Commissioners OF the District OF Column
bia. 1t was also made the duty of the
superintendent to make an examina ton
into the charitable institutions and to
recommend such changes and modifica-
tions as would promote economy, eff
in the administration Of charities This
the superintendent was required to re-
port in detail to the Commissioners and
the Commissioners were required to sub
NIT such report with their estimates for
appropriations.

Conflict of Jurisdiction.

The line Of demarcation between the
duties of the Commissioners and those
of the board of education is not sharply
drawn, and this causes frequent conflict
OF Jurisdiction and a consequent occupa-
ton OF time to adjust differences OF opin-
ion regarding school matters without
any resulting benefit to the District.
In consequence many things which are
done are accomplished by compromise
in which often the best results are sac
rifced
The Commissioners appreciate the vol
untary public service that is being given
by the present members of the board of
education. but they believe that a more
businesslike procedure would be to have
the duties of this board performed by a
high-class official director of education
possessed of broad executive experience
ability

Required to Make Reports.

Previous to this legislation the several
charitable institutions which received ap-
preparations were required to report to
the Commissioners. in detail, an account
of the receipts and expenditures and all
