Delegation to the District Commits

Congress Of authority to issue regu-
1ations as to streets, parks and
great variety Of police and municipal
matters was advocated on the floor OF
the House yesterday by Representa-
tive Theodore Burton of Ohio.
Referring to a pending resolution
to safeguard the days set apart for
consideration of District legislation.
Representative Burton called atten-
tion that while Congress has a duty
to perform toward the District. II
also must consider great general
principles and policies affecting the
welfare of the whole country.
He urged that Congress should re-
Heve Itself OF great mass of detail.
which includes much of the District
legislation. Representative Burton
said:
Two days out Of, say. twenty-four.
We legislate for this municipality. while
100000 and more of people only
have the remaining twenty-five days.
But we have q responsibility to the
District which we should fulflll. and we
give attention TO District legislation
partly because of that responsibility
and partly because the ordinances and
regulations which we adopt here are re-
garded, do not know whether correctly
or not, as a proper model for the rest
OF the country. I will give you a few
illustrations OF the minute, the unnec-
essary attention, given to this legisla-
ton.

Q lady who has been a resident Of this
city since her birth and lives In house
which Is now In the midst of a growing
business section. She said she could
not get out from her door to an auto

day automobiles were parked, occupy
Ing every foot Of space. She appealed
70 the police. The policeman said.
Madam. that is altogether wrong

al. remember years ago on leaving
this city for Cleveland reading In an
evening newspaper a singing con-
demnation of Congress because it had
not made an appropriation to clear
the snow of the sidewalks. The next
morning I arrived in Cleveland where
there had been the same snow storm,
and the first greeting that had was
about some lots / owned in a remote

the caves and foundation Of the build
ing owned by the plaintiff encroached
