In commenting on the Fairbanks

SENATORS
To PROBE
SCHOOLS s
subcommittee Named to lnves-
tigate Delay Of Building
Program.

The Senate inquiry into the local
school and hospital situations
pecially the delay involved in the
building program-will open at 10 80
o'clock next Monday morning.
The investigation will be conduct
cd by Senators Capper, Cameron,
and King, who were appointed as a
subcommittee at a meeting of the
District committee. today.
King Tells Of Complaints.
Senator King told his colleagues he
had received scores of complaints
about "dilatoriness and unwarranted
delay in the beginning of construc-
ton work on buildings that had al.
ready been appropriated for by Con-
gress, particularly the school for tu-
bercular pupils. Senator Ball, chair
man of the committee, said he also
had received several complaints Of
the same type. and that he thought a
Senate inquiry would be helpful in
clarifying the situation.
Senator Dillingham;, one OF the vet
eran members Of the committee, spoke
with some feeling about the delay In
constructing the Gallinger Municipal
Hospital.
I'VE appropriated for this structure
more than two years ago, only after
a fight, which has continued for
five years" he said. THE municipal
hispital Is a disgrace to the country.
1 cannot understand why work upon
the new building is held up"
Waste Charged By Ball.
Senator Ball was requested by the
committee to make an investigation
Of the practicability of consolidating
all branches of the city government
under one administration. Senator
King said four or five different
agencies now had conflicting jurisdic-
ton over the park system and that
a great deal Of money was wasted
thereby.
Senator Ball promised the COM
mittee he would make a report upon
the Seventh street wharf situation in
the near future.
my present view is that both sides
are equally to blame In the matter, n
he said. THE commissioners can
hardly expect business men to i'm
prove the wharf properties unless
they are given long term leases. At
present these leases run for two or
three months only"

HALL PROTESTS
BARRING DEAF
AUTODR|VERS
Columbia Institute Head Writes
Commissioners in Effort to
Lift Regulations.

DIR. Percival Hall, president OF the
Columbia Institution for the Deaf ha s
written a letter to the District Com.
nissioners complaining against the
new police regulation which refuses
an auto drivers permit to a deaf
person.
DIR. Hall in his letter said that he
doubted the legality of the regulation,
es deaf persons were as much en-
titled to the use OF the highways in
the city as those who were not, unless
~ could be proved that such use is
a public menace. This is not the case,
ne says and gives statistics, to bear out
his assertion.
The new regulation, DIR. Hall says
fs based on the theory that the opera
tion of vehicle by deaf person
is dangerous to the driver and others.
This theory is not based on fact he
says, and points out that In Detroit,
with a population Of about 1000. 900,
with more difficult traffic conditions
than In Wash gton, deaf persons are
allowed TO y We automobiles. In
Akron, Ohio, also, he says, $40 deaf
persons have drivers permits.
DIR. Hall says he has driven through
the congested sections Of Washington
with deaf persons and felt as safe
ms he would with a person who was
not so afflicted.
The letter has been submitted 20
Cant. Albert J. Headley. head OF the
traffic bureau for investigation by the
C,mmissioners.
