Not Supported by Congress.

The board started out feeling that it
could accomplish In about eight years
what had been recommended. II Con-
gress had supported the board 1t had
created for the purpose intended this re-
suit could have been realized. We did
not expect Congress to adopt every rec
concentration made, but the board did
hope and expect Congi ess to ADOPT at
least 80 or 80 per cent of its recon-
mendations. :. Had Congress done SO the
system Of charities In this District would
have been before now, in my judgment
and opinion, and to the best OF my
knowledge, established upon sound,
practical and correct basis. But it is
there is much left to be done before
that is accomplished

TELLS OF OBJECTS SOUGHT

The abolition of the board Of charities
is being considered by the subcommittee
OF the House appropriations committee,
which is preparing the District of Co
lumbia appropriation BILL While the
members of the board have made no pro-
test against the contemplated action. it
is probable that no recommendation
along this line will be made until the
next session Of Congress.
Representative Burleson Of Texas
started the argument with reference to
the tenure of the board of charities
chairman of the board, who was a wit
ness before the committee, il he had any
suggestions to make along this line.
Purpose Of the Board.
when this board was organized ten
years ago., said Mr.. Edison, lit was
created by Congress for a necessary and
specific purpose. Congress. after an ex-
the two houses, found that the charities
in the framing and passage Of a bill
creating the board of charities, to
evolve a co-ordinated and systematic
method Of administering the charities Of
the District OF Columbia. The five men
who were appointed by the President en-
tered upon their duties earnestly and
sincerely, determined to do as. well as
possible what was intended and expected
by Congress. 1t took the boaro two
years before definite conclusions were
reached and recommendations were pre-
pared and made to Congress. The pro-
posed system conf1icted more OF less
with all institutions with which each
member individually was connected.
They had to go against their own feel
ings and sympathies in order that
proper system and an economic admins
tration Of charities might be established.
