F|REPROOF ORDER
AWAITS CONGRESS
D. c. Counsel Says Commits
sioners Lack Authorityto
Safeguard Hospitals.

The District Commissioners will
have to seek additional authority
from Congress to enact the proposed
regulation recommended by Fire Chief
Watson for the tireprooftng of hos
pitfalls, orphan asyiums and similar
institutions, in the opinion of Cor
poration Counsel stephens.
Makes Study of Regulation.
Mr.. Stephens said today he had ex-
pressed that opinion after studying
the proposed regula tions. He point
I'd out that ordinarily such regula-
tions would come within the pur-
view of the Commissioners authority
under the general police power, but
that Congress. having once legiSlated
on the question of fire escapes and
similar safeguards, had taken juris-
dtction over the question.
The corporation counsel stated tina t
he regarded the chief recommended
lions as desirable ones.
Secs Broader Powers Needed.
Incidentally, Mr.. stephens observed
that this situation : eJnlrha sizes the
need for broadening the municipal
powers of the Commissioners to han
die purely local questions as pro-
posed by members of Congress at the
last session. Steps were taken last
week by committee of District Off
cials to draft a general bill extend
ing the authority of the Commission
ers in many directions, but it has not
yet been put in shape for approval
by the city heads.
