REPORTS ARE MADE
ON GUARD|ANSH|PS
Limit of 5 Pct. Commission
and Restriction to 5 Wards
Urged by House Body.

Reports. made to the House by
Chairman Gibson Of the subcommlt-
tee OF the House District committee
which during the last two months
has been investigating Commissioner
tenning and the general administra-
ton OF municipal affairs, on three re-
medal measures were made available
today.
The report on the bill with reference
to commissions In lunacy cases in the
District explained that this bill seeks
TO remedy an existing condition in
the District. Insane veterans are sent
to st. Elizabeth's Hospital from all
sections OF the country. In case the
veteran has property it is necessary
TO secure the appointment of a com
mittee by the Court of Equity. It has
been found that one person is now
acting as a committee for SO veterans
or the World War at st. EliZabeths 8
Hospital and has been acting in a.
other cases from which he has been
discharged by reason Of the death of
the ward or the appointment of other
committee. This committee has re-
ceived, since and including 1919, $685..
ool.Z9 from these World War veter-
ans cases. In nearly every case he
has charged and been allowed from
TO 10 per cent on the personal prop
erty ana income coming into his
hands.
Five Per Cent Maximum Urged.
The director Of the Veterans Bu-
reau is of the opinion that per cent
maximum is all that should be al.
lowed to a committee.
This bill further provides for an
amendment to the present code by
requiring the appointment Of guar
dian ad l1tem to act for the non-com-
pos ment1s person in case he has no
known relatives residing within the
jurisdiction OF the court to appear
Tor him in all court proceedings"
In explaining the bill covering COM
missions OF guardians, Representative
Gibson points out that this bill
amends the District Of Columbia code
to permit a guardian to receive q
maximum Of per cent of the amounts
collected and disbursed instead of 10
per cent in accordance with existing
law. The committee is of the opin-
ion that per cent is adequate COM
pensation for services of this char
acter.''
Five Wards Limit Proposed.
Mr.. Gibson in his report on the
bill covering the appointment of
trustees and committees says: THE
committee is of the opinion that the
character of the duties of a commit
tee to non compos mentis person
Is such that no one person can rem
der the best service in the interest
of his ward If he has a large num-
Der OF cases at the same time. 1t
was thought by the committee that
&
give the necessary individual atten-
tion in five cases of this character"
The purpose of these three pieces
of legislation is to prevent in the
future wholesale business in
guardianships. with commissions that
the investigators have agreed are
excessive, as shown during the in
vestigation of Commissioner Fem
