Charges that the police authorities
Of Prince Georges county are "indif-
ferent to the enforcement of the pro-
h.bition law" are made in resolutions
adopted last night at meeting OF
the Westpahalia Community Club and
by members of the Prince Georges

1T is a matter of common knowl-
edge that the prohibition law is being
flagrantly violated in the State of
Maryland. and particularly in Prince
Georges county, endangering the lives
and safety OF law abiding citizens of
the county, especially women" the
resolution states. This indifference
OF the police breeds disrespect for the
law"
A committee, of which William
Eeall. of Rufus, is chairman. was ap.
pointed to take the resolution to tho
the Legislature, which is in session.
demanding that they take action to
curb the alleged indifference of the
police authorities.
The resolution in part further
states:
Whereas, this condition has largely
been grought about by the indifference
of the officers Of the law, we, citizens
or Prince Georges county and mem.
bers Of the Westphalia Community
Club, believe an effort should be made
drought our representatives at
Annapolis at the present general as
sembly to change such conditions"

HOUSING INQUIRY.
TOMORROW BY
COMMISSIONERS
Hearing to Be Conducted on
Pomerene Bill to Extend
Ball Rent Act.
.'i+Hg&:.S;.s 3, No. ~

Persons interested in the housing
situation in Washington will appear
in the board room in the District
building tomorrow morning. at 1890
o'clock, when the District Commits
sioners hold hearing on the Pom
creme bill. which proposes to extend
the Ball Rent act for two years
after next May.
Commissioner Rudolph today said
the Commissioners want to know
whether the city would be benefited
by the proposed legislation. The
Commissioners will not listen to
arguments for and against the Con-
stitutionality of the law, he said.
That will be left for the courts to
determine.
Since the Commissioners announced
the hearing, last week. they have
received many letters. some praisinR,
others condemning the proposed leg
islation. Some of the }etters tell Of
the fears of tenants that the land
lords will wreak vengence on them
after the present law expires by
limitation next May. and say the
housing situation has not improved
and that the only hope Of the family
Of small means is the continuance
Of the law.
On the other hand, some real estate
interests and builders maintain that
the curbing power Of the Rent Com
mission is preventing building and
THAI the housing situation will not
be relieved until the builders and the
real estate men can see their way
clear to make a reasonable profit.
1t is understood the Rent Com
missioners are OF the opinion that
continuance OF the rent law Is
necessary.
