PLANS TO ENLARGE
D. C.. UTILITIES BODY
Bell Considers Assignment
of CoveII to Commission,
Pending New Law.

Action by Congress at the next ses-
large and reorganize the Public Utili-
ties Commission is hoped for by En-
gineer Commissioner Bell.
AS an indication of his belief that
the work of the Utilities Commission
warrants a larger personnel, Maj.
Bell is considering assigning Maj. w.
E. R Covell to aid in supervising
utility problems as soon as that Off
GER takes up his duties as an assist
ant engineer commissioner. Present
indications are that Maj. Covell will
not report to the Commissioners un-
til late in August
At present. the Utilities Commission
Is composed of the three District
Commissioners, but the bill transmit
ted to the Senate and House last win
pointment of two additional members.
Lawyer and Engi.eer.
One of the new men would be an
engineer and serve as chairman, de-
voting all of his time to the task.
The second man would be a lawyer,
giving full time to the legal phases
of utility regulation.
II Maj. Covell should be assigned
to supervise thee activities of the
Utilities Commission he would not
conflict in any way with the func-
tions of Earl v. Fisher, executive Sec
retary.
The three District Commissioners
would retain membership on the pro-
posed new Utilities Board. Maj Bell
believes this is essential, because the
questions coming before the Utilities
Commission frequently are interlock-
ed with municipal problems.

j. s. POLICE BUREAU
URGED BY ENR|GHT
New York Police Head Sees
President on Proposed
Federal Branch.
EXPLAINS ITS VALUE
Efforts Will Be Made to Push Mat
ter Before Next Congress,
He Believes.
EXPLAINS ITS VALUE

President Coolidge let 1t be known
today he favobs a federal police
bureau located in Washington 20
ments of the various States and cities.
and with foreign nations.
Richard E. Enright, commissioner
of police Of New York City, who with
Rhinclander Waldo, former commits
sioner. discussed the proposition with
the President today. and. said after
ward that the President approves Of
the general plan.
Several bills were introduced dur
ing the last session r Congress
authorizing the creation of a federal
police bureau, but they failed to be
acted upon before adjournment. These
bills were explained to the President
afterward that at the next session
they will be combined into one and
the strength of their advocates Will
then be centralized. Commissioner
Enright intimated that the bill II
properly prepared and passed will
be readily signed by Mr.. Coolidge.
Explains Need of Bureau.
Commissioner Enright pointed out
to the President that the business
Of preventing and detecting crime
throughout this country as well as
the criminal investigation work OF
the Federal Government could be
greatly benefited by such bureau.
for detective work, he said. He ex-
planned that the proposed bureau
would not be only for the purpose
Of Identification, but for every pur-
pose related to general police work.
In the opinion of Enright. who is
Il L. -
bill introduced in Congress last ses-
sion by Representative. Kindred, New
York. such a bureau would cost ap
proximately s25o.O00 the first year
and about 100000 annually there
after.
Talks With Sullivan.
Before going to the White House
Commissioner Enright talked with
Maj. Dsniel Sullivan, superintendent
of the police Of this city. who favors
such a federal bureau
Commissioner Enright also took up
with the President the matter of hay
ing the Federal Government. in an
unoffcial way. assist the interna-
tional police conference to be held
invitations to a number of police
officials of foreign nations. Police
departments generally come under
national governD4nts abroad and in
v1tatIons from the President would
be more in keeping with the customs
of these countries. Commissioner En-
right believes. The matter will be
taken up later Tith the State De-
partment
After leaving the White House Com
missioner Enright went to the Dis
trtct Building to pay his respects to
Commissioner Oyser and Supt. of Po-
lice Daniel Sullivan
