D. c. COMMITTEE
TO MEET TUESDAY
Mr.. Focht Favors School,
Street Car and Pawn
broker Bills First.

Chairman Focht today issued a call
| for the first meeting of the House
District committee Tuesday. With a
mass of legislation awaiting action,
| Mr.. Focht said today that he believed
| the three measures to receive earliest
| consideration should be the street car
merger, the school building program
and the pawnbrokers bill, which he
introduced today.
Representative Focht personally be-
! lieves that the needs of the District
| school system should receive earliest
consideration and that the committee
| measure until it has been disposed Of.
above all else we must take care
that the children are given adequate
school facilities" said Mr. Focht. IF
the condition regarding needs for
school buildings is as serious as is
claimed. and this is developed during
committee consideration. l know of
nothing which SO much deserves the
most careful attention of the COM
mittee."
Permanent School Needs.
Representative Focht said in this
connection that he thought the course
of procedure would be to endeavor to
| determine the permanent normal
needs in school buildings. He pointed
out that the influx of scholars during
the war should be ascertained and
also what the exodus has been. He
also emphasized that the problem of
providing school facilities for hun
dreds of children from Maryland and
Virginia whose fathers are govern
!, ment employees is a serious one for
his committee to pass upon.
In offering his pawnbroker bill in
the House today. Representative
Focht emphasized that it is distinct
is copied largely after the law in
Pennsylvania. He said he realized
after a conference with other House
members who have taken a particu-
lar interest in District legislation that
there will be sharp contest by those
who are endeavoring to get loan
shark legislation.
Pawnbroker Bill.
The bill. as proposed by Mr.. Focht.
requires all pawnbrokers to gixe a
bond of $4,000. which can be renewed
by payment of $500 a year. The rates
to be charged on loans would be fixed
at 3 per cent a month on all amounts
Provision is made that if several
small loans are made, after they have
reached a total of s35 the rate on
the entire amount in excess of S35
shall be at per cent.
The Focht bill also takes bodily out
of the Pennsylvania law section
which prohibits any boy under six
teen years pawning anything or be-
coming an intermediary. The Focht
bill also provides that every pawn
broker must have adequate insur-
ance covering all articles pawned. so
that there Will be absolute security
against loss by fire or theft.
The Focht bill also covers all sec
ond- hand stores, junk shops or storage
or warehouse concerns. 1t provides a
fine of $500 or Imprisonment for one
year for any such concern acting as
fence for stolen property
When the committee meets it will
find that all of the bills which have
been introduced or reintroduC.ad so
far in the extra session have been
properly indexed for prompt consider
