PLANS big CHANGE
IN DISTRICT RULE
Prouty Bill Would Give City
Mayor and Council, With
New Tax Scheme.

Representative Prouty of Iowa. a
Republican member of the House Dis
trict Committee, is nearing the COM
pletion of his bill proposing a change
in the form of the District govern
ment. Mr.. Prouty has been working
on the measure for a year or more
and will have it ready for introduc-
ton soon after the holidays.
Like several of its predecessors. the
bill will propose the wiping out. al
most in it's entirety, of the existing
half-and-half fiscal arrangement be-
tween the District and the Federal
Government. The Prouty measure,
however, gives the District a form of
seh.government by authorizing the
election of a mayor and six commits
sioners for two-year terms. The mayor
would have no veto power but every
ordinance, to be effective, would be
signed by the mayor or four council
men.
One of the elective District officers
would be delegate in Congress at a
salary of $500. The bill also provides
for the initiative, referendum. and re
Call.
A temporary election plan is proposed
for putting into office the first council
but the council would then be permitted
to change the method of elections Di-
rect primaries, however, must he MAIN
tanned for all offices.
The Federal Government would aid
the District in street improvement and
park protection, but otherwise the half
and-half plan would go into the dis
card. The District would receive a per-
petual lease on the waterworks in re-
turn for free service to the Government
The powers of the Public Utilities Com
mission would he invested in the new
city council or commission.
There is another provision that all ap-
pointeeS except laborers in the District
service shall be under civil service rules
1t is doubtful IL any extended considera-
tion Of the Prouty bill can be had at
this session. There is also the prospect
that the Administration may express a
are for awhile, with the new board of
Commissioners in charge, and this
would block the Prouty measure
