For the first time in the history
of the District a woman sat in a
meeting of the Board of Commits
sioners yesterday. For the first
time in many months, the full Board
of Commissioners was present at
the meeting.
Permanet duties of the commits
sioners were decided upon at the
meeting in the office of Engineer
Commissioner Charles w. Kutz.
The arrangement differed but
slightly from the tentative alloca-
tion of work agreed upon Friday.
In addition to other duties, Com
missioner J. Thilman Hendrick will
have charge of the District Jail,
workhOuse and refOrmatOry. Mabel
T BOardman, sworn in as Commits
sioner yesterday morning. will su-
pervise administration of charitable
and correctional institutions. hos
pitfalls and the office of the District
alienist.
Election No Surprise.
Commissioner Hendrick was
elected chairman of the board, the
action verifying previous reports.
The Public Utilities Commission will
elect its chairman next January.
Col. Kutz holds the position at pres
ent, and his term, unaffected by ap-
pointment of two new commits
sioners, does not expire until that
time.
If there is to be a reorganization
Of the District government forces
1t will not be apparent for some
time. The new commissioners in
tend to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the many duties OF

in the District Supreme Court for

tracks. The bridge collapsed, he
claims, and he was struck with a
