BILL PROVIDES .
FORCONTROLOF
CHILDREN HERE
Would Give Commissioners
Power Over Charities and
Guardians.
The District Commissioners are

The District Commissioners are
given the power OF appointment
and removal over the Board of
Charities, the Board Of Children's
Guardians and the Board OF Edu-
cation in a bill sent by them to the
Senate District Committee. 1t was
learned today.
The Commissioners had this bill
prepared ''on the quiet" by Cor
poration Counsel Francis II. Ste
phens three weeks ago, after he
had told them of the limitation OF
their authority over the Board of
Charities and the Board Of Chill
dren's Guardians.
The bill is brief and contains only
the essential fact that the Commits
sioners are vested with fun authority
over the various boards.
Authority Now Divided.
Under present conditions. the
Board of Charities Is appointed by
the President, the Board Of Children's
Guardians by the Police Cours judges
and the presiding justice In criminal
division No. l Of the District
Supreme Court, and the Board OF
Education is appointed by the
justices of the District Supreme
Court.
1t is believed that, with the
passage Of the bill. the present con-
troversy over child welfare, as ad-
ministered by District agencies, will
be ended.
The only board over which the
Commissioners now have any meas
ure Of control is the board OF trus-
tees OF the Wisconsin Avenue Indus
trial Home School, the members Of
which are appointed by the city
heads.
Stephens Explains Need.
Corporation Counsel Stephens
stated that II might be necessary TO
take further steps in this matter, as
many Of the laws governing depen.
dent and delinquent children in the
District are antiquated and do not
take cognizance OF various changes
in the political life Of the city.
With the authority given the Com.
missioners," he said, ''it will be pos
sible for them to order sub rosa in
vestigations of any boards in the Dis
trict government. II the need for such
inquiry arises"
1t is understood the bill was sent
directly to Senator l.. HeisIer Bail.

mittee.
