RECORDERS OFFICE Is
SENATE BILL OBJECT
Hoke Smith Would Put Position
Under Commissioner Control,
Eligible Only to Residents.

Senator Hoke Smith. who has bitterly
opposed the proposed appointment OF a
colOred man as recorder of deeds for
the District, yesterday introduced a bill
placing this Office and that OF register
OF wills under the supervision Of the
District Commissioners, and requiring
that appointees be bona fide residents of
the District.
The custom has been to consider these
offices as legitimate spOils for the dOmi-
nant political party. The present incum-
bent OF the recorders office is Georgia
negro who has taken a prominent part
in Republican politics in his State. The
Smith bill provides, in part:
That the register Of wills and the re-
cOrder of deeds in the District of Column
bia shall hereafter be under the imme-
diate supervision OF the Commissioners
OF the District of Columbia
NO one shall be eligible for appoint
ment TO the position of register of wills
