License Fee Goes to States.

In its relation to the p2wnbrokins
business the District Of Columbia oc
cupies a peculiar and isolated position
with respect to the adjoining states Of
Maryland and Virginia. In both these
states the legal rate Of interest on per-
sonal property loans allowed to pawn
brokers Is much greater than the cor
responding rate permissible in the
only advantage granted to Maryland
and Virginia brokers. The license fee
in these states Is considerably less and
there are no restrictions placed upon
loan limits. The natural result of such
conditions was, the transfer Of bust
ness location by former Washington
brokers to jurisdictions which permit
ted the conduct Of their business under
more favorable terms. At present the

Inspector wech's Report.

Inspector wech. in his report. said. in
part:
THE absence of drastic law con-
trolling the promiscuous buying of
secondhand personal property by IL
censed dealers and the failure Of en-
actment OF many of the various pro-
posed Legislative acts to return the
pawnbroking business TO the District
Of Columbia has again seriously handi-
capped the efforts OF this office. Pri-
waite brokers, saloon keepers, poolroom
proprietors. owners Of Greek cook
shops. as well as the small licensed
dealers. continue to do a. fourishing
clandsstine pawnbroking business. II Is
impossible to secure convictions against
such offenders, because contracts Of
transactions In writing, either in the
form of tickets or otherwise, are never
given, and competent witnesses cannot
be induced to testify in court.
Constant and vigi1ant supervision Of
dealers in secondhand property IL i'm
Derative in order to prevent evasion of
the law. Numerous daily visits of in
made necessary through the careless
ness of a large number of dealers, who
cannot read nor write the English Ian
guage and who violate the pertaining
laws and regulations through igno-
rance. Other frequent visits. often in
company Of compliments. were made
for the purpose of locating and identi-
flying stolen property.
'Bi-week1y trips to the Alexandria po-
lice department were made during the
year in order to copy from the records
OF that department all articles taken in
by Alexandra brokers and dealers. A
great deal Of property was located and
recovered in this manner, some for 9TH
er police departments.
Considerable amount Of stolen prop
erty was recovered in a pawnshop To-
Gated In contiguous territory, but only
through the courtesy Of the broker
From the comparative record table
IL may be seen that the amount of re-
coveries OF stolen property from
brokers and dealers during the period
covered by this report has some what
fallen of. This. however. is not due
to any diminished efforts of the pawn
| inspectors once, but rather to the pro-
tracted absence Of properly licensed
pawnbroking business and the conse-
duent lack Of police supervision.

II IL pointed out by interested persons
that the pawn business for the accom-

of~3 per cent a month on loans up t,
and Including $50: 2 per cent on sum-
between $50 and $500 and per cent o,
loans Of more than $500. These rec
