and said he made the trip to obtain GER

He declined to disclose the nature Of

Mr.. Hill said that he dined with King
Albert at the kings headquarters, Wis

Col. Harris expressed himself a. favor
able to the condemnation Of this whole
strip at a public hearing held some
time ago before the Engineer Commits
sioner OF the District. That the extra
cost involved in the maintenance Of the
original plan will be comparatively in
significant is shown by the assessed
value Of the property in question. which
may be assumed to represent two
thirds of its actual value. How insig-
nificant this extra cost will be when 1t
is remembered that the expenditure of
this money will preserve the approaches
of the greatest bridges in Washington
and prevent the persons passing on the
great connecting parkway drive from
looking into the back yards of the
houses that will be built on the ex-
Guided property!
This whole question is not one Of to-
, day nor Of a few individuals, but It con-
Germs the welfare and beauty OF the
great Capital city OF the nation.

MEASURE TO CHECK
LOAN SHARKS FA|LS
Present Law Is Found to In
crease the Cost to Small
Borrowers.
AMENDMENT is NEEDED
TO CORRECT CONDITIONS
Concerns Willing to Conduct Bust
ness on 2 Per Cent Basis Are
Driven From District Field.

Instead of reducing the cost OF loans
to small borrowers. as was the intent
of the present law governing loan COM
panies, pawnbrokers and others en-
gagged In the small loan business in the
District of Columbia. the law has actu-
ally operated to increase the cost of
such loans. This is the assertion OF
persons closely in touch with condi-
lions in Washington. who say that the
present law fixing the interest rate on
small loans at 1 per cent month has
resulted in driving out of business con-
Germs able and willing to make small
loans either on pledges or on notes, at
2 per cent month, and has thrown all
of this class of loan business into the
hands of persons who, by evadlng the
law and making their actuai cash
transactions across the District line,
are able to exact not less than per
cent a month.
THUS" asserted one of those most
actively interested in the enactment OF
amendments to the present law that
would enable companies or individuals
to charge 2 per cent a month, Con
gress, while ostensibly reducing the in
terest rate on small loans, has actually
increased the cost of such loans to the
borrowers, and has made it possible
for one individual conducting offices in
the city. but actually transferring
money at an office Just across the DIS
trict line, to exact from small Dor
rowers at least 1000 a week in excess
of what such borrowers would have to
pay If they could borrow in the Dis
trict at 2 per cent month"
Could Loan Money at Fair Profit.
That money can be loaned at a maxi
mum rate of 2 per cent a month for
small loans on such security as is
usually taken by pawnbrokers, and at
a fair profit to the concern making
the loans, is the assertion of Edward
Byrne, manager of the Washington
branch of the Prudential Loan So
ciety of Philadelphia. The Willingness
of this society to loan money in the
District of Columbia at a maximum
rate of 2 per cent a month for small
loans ard lower rates for large ad-
vances, Mr. Byrne says. is amply EVIL
denced by the fact that the society has
kept its Washington offices at 9th
street and Grant place open for nearly
three years III the hope that Congress
might enact remedial legislation COW
ering the pawnbroking business in
the District of Columbia and permit
the society to do business at the rates
under which it operated prior to dis
continuing business August l. 1913
When the present loan law was passed
the society took out the pawnbrokers
license required by the new law, paying
the fee of $3.50 therefor. This was done
in order that the society might retain the
right to carry on its business in the
District of Columbia. but with no purpose
