RADIO REGULATION
DROPPED BY D. c.
Commissioners Decide An

iect to 81 Levy.

The District Commissioners today
decided that radio Is not subject to
regulation by the electrical depart
ment under the permit system.
They concluded that the only regu-
lation Of radio apparatus should be
the question OF making certain that
outside aerials are erected on private
property and at a safe distance from
telephone and high tension electric
wires
Engineer Commissioner Bell stated
that Maj. Holcombe, assistant en-
gineer commissioner. will be directed
to work out this phase of regulation
as police matter.
Cannot Cross Public Property.
This action has the effect of drop
ping all consideration Of requiring
radio fans to obtain permits, and will
mean merely that the police will see
to it hat the outside aerials do not
cross a public street or other public
property and that the aerials on pri-
vate property are kept well away
from other wires
Engineer Commissioner had before
him two proposed radio regulations
submitted by the electrical depart
ment, in the event the Commissioner
decided that radio was a proper SUBJ
ject for control by that department
1t Is presumed that these proposed
regulations will not be given further
consideration inasmucn as the board
decided the question was outside the
Jurisdiction of the electrical depart
ment
One of the tentative rules drafted by
the electrical department would have
made it necessary for all radio fans
to obtain a 50-cent permit, under
which the department proposed to
require lightning arrester, fuses on
storage batteries and certain speci-
fed sizes of wire throughout the in
strument.
Refund Asked.
Another problem cropped up today
when j. Gaastra. 611 K street north
east, wrote to the Commissioners ask
ing for refund of 81 which he says
he paid the electrical department last
year for a radio permit. He stated
that he has learned within the past
few days that the electrical depart
ment is no longer issuing these two
dollar permits.
1t Is understood that no permit will
be required under the policy adopted
by the Commissioners for an aerial,
but the police regulations will specify
how the aerial shall be erected in re-
lation to the location of other wires.
It is expected that Maj. Holcombe
