PRODUCE BIG REVENUE
Total of $38,684.97 Collected
Last Year-Report of
Corporation Counsel.

Non-support cases enriched the Golfers
of the District Juvenile Court to the ex-
tent of SiS,6S4.91 during the past fiscal
year, according to the annual report OF
Corporation Counsel E. III. Thomas, which
was submitted to the Commissioners to-
day

the corporation counsel's office. There
were prosecuted in that court during the
year, it is stated, s2,22J9 Juvenile cases and
557 adult cases. Fines and forfeitures
amounting to s2,O6;..O were collected.
Police Court Trials.
The corporation counsels office, ac-
cording to the report. did big year s
business in the Police Court, where it

increase over the number of the year
previous. Fines and forfeitures amount
ing to S74 .o333aS were collected in this
court. as against S61 ,171.71 for the year

Altogether the report makes evident
the fact that the legal department of the

twelve months. During the year. in ad-
dtion to the Juvenile and Police Court

cases in the United States Supreme Court,
IUStI1Ct 1OuTt Oh Appeals, tile
pal Court of the District and the United
States district court for the eastern dis
trict of Virginia 1t considered, drafted
and amended eighteen bills.
Increase in Force Suggested.
There will have to be increase in
the office force, to the extent of the en-
ployment of an additional assistant and
clerk. Mr.. Thomas declares, if Congress
enacts into law either of the bills relat-
ing to public utilities or the regulation of
domestic and foreign corporations.
Details of the work required of the Of
flee do not have TO be further enlarged
at present. the corporation counsel says,
but the passage of the bills referred to
would make necessary the employment
of additional assistance.
1T has and will continue to be the en-
deavor of this Office the report con-
cludes. to cooperate. under the direc-
ton of the Commissioners. with all the
various departments of the District gov
eminent in the transaction of public
