BELL FOR COUNCIL
OF CIVIC LEADERS
Believes Unofficial Advisers
Should Come From Trade
! and Citizen Groups.

The next move toward establishm ent
of an unofficial city council to advise
the Commissioners on questions of
municipal Improvement and new legis-
lation should come from the civic and
business organizations, Engineer Com
missioner Bell declared today.
Having put forward the suggestion
and indicated in a general way how
he thought such an advisory council
of taxpayers might function, Col. Bell
said he is waiting now to find out what
tho CitiZeus' associations and trade
bodies think of the idea.
The Engineer Commissioner has in
dicated that such a council could be
made up of the presidents or other
elected representatives of the Board
of Trade, Chamber Of Commerce, Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations and
citation.
The Commissioner Is not committed
20 any definite plan, however, and will
preston of opinion from the leading
organizations Of the city.
1t is understood to be Col. Bells
opinion that such council should
not deal with the needs of any par
ticular neighborhood but should ad-
Nse with the Commissioners on mat
ters of general policy affecting the
welfare of the city as whole.
The object which the Engineer Com
missioner is seeking to accomplish
by the formation of an advisory city
council is to avoid the practice of

Number of U. S. Employees il, ID. c., 66,224,
Still Far Ab0ue the Pre-War LeueZ

Although great reductions have
been made in the number of Govern
ment employees in the District of Co
lumbia since November IL, 1918, when
there were 1890 persons employed
tfons have not brought the figure
down to near the pre-war total, IS
of June 80. 1916, when there were
but 39,442 persons employed by Fed
eral agencies in Washington. This
is shown in the latest figures, made
public by the Civil Service Commits
sion today, giving the number of
Federal employees in Washington as
66,224.
Agencies have sprung up as a direct
outgrowth of the war which employ
thousands of persons here, and not
withstanding that more than six
was fired in France, the Federal force
here is onethird again as large as It
was before the United States enter
ed the war. The Veterans Bureau,
engaged largely in the task of dis
tributing adjusted compensation Ger

has nearly passed through the stage
of liquidating It's assets and now Is
administering the merchant marine; /;

the agencies which grew up during
the war, employing today total of
nearly 1000 persons.

that the breaking away of the big
