BILOXI.
Commissioners Approve Meas
ure Providing for Two More
Members on Board.

The District Commissioners to-
day approved the proposed bill to
enlarge the Public Utilities Com
mission and sent letters to Sena-
tor L. Heiser Ball and Congress
man Stuart Frank Reed, chairman
Of the Senate and House District
Committees respectively, urging
passage of the legislation.
Adds Two Members.
This bill would allow the appoint
ment Of lawyer and an engineer
to the Utilities Board, which now
consist Of the three Commissioners.
1t Is believed that this change would
divide the work more equally and
would allow more thorough in
vestigation Of public utilities mat
ters. The Commissioners have been
informed by Budget Director Lord
that the bill Is not in conflict with
President Coolidge's financial pro
gram. BY the terms OF the bill the
two new members would receive
salaries equal to those paid the Dis
LTlCL commissioners.
The Commissioners also approved
the measure providing pensions fol-
! penniless District mothers. This
bin would allow home care for de
pendent children, relieving District
charitable agencies Of present con
gestion. The bill carries an ap
preparation Of 100000, to be paid
out Of Federal and District funds
on the 60-40 basis. This bill is to
be submitted to Director Lord to de-
termine whether it is in accord with
the Presidents program.
