duties at the Treasury Department

ing the District has no authority to
contract for Army supplies on credit

tai order of nine truckloads Of foods
which are expected to be widely dis
tributed throughout the city before 6

Violates Law, Says Mr. Tweedale.
The problem of getting further sup
plies developed new angle today in
an inquiry by Auditor Tweedale as to
the municipalities responsibility to
pay for the goods. The War Depart
ment consigned the order to the Dis
trlct on ten-day credit basis Ac-
cording to the auditor. the city has no
legal authority to accept such respon-
sib1lity. and. in fact, violates the law
in doing SO.
This question came up when a rep
resentative of the Treasury Depart
ment rendered the auditor $1,000 in
payment of a portion of the Army
goods to be consigned to the Treas
ury Department cooperative store.
Mr. TWeedale refused to accept the
money in his capacity as District
official However. he accepted per-
sonal responsibility for it. saying he
would turn it over to Mr.. McGrath.
The situation presented by Mr. Nc
Grath's announcement and Auditor
Tweedale's ruling will be taken up
al meeting to be held at the Dis
trict building Monday night by rep
resentatives of government depart
ment and community cooperative

of the Army foods surpassed his ex-

1t appeared reasonably certain the
