NJ CARL RULING
CRITICISED

District Auditor Daniel J. Dono.
van today criticized the ruling OF
Comptroller General J. r. McCarl
as erroneous" insofar as it ap-
piled to the decision that $154,O0O,
reappropriated by Congress for the
purchase of school buildings and
playground sites, was not available
McCarl held that the District
Commissioners should not expend
the S154,000, once appropriated Tor q
third floor addition to the Park
View School, for other purposes, IN
accordance with the act OF Con
gress restricting the price paid for
ground for schools and other
municipal projects. to within 20
per cent Of the assessed value.
In a letter to McCarl' accom-
panied by a report to the Commls-
sioners, Major Donovan asked the
Comptroller General to RECONSIDER
his decision.
'"The auditor remains Of the opin-
ion that his Interpretation OF the
law is a correct one, notWltnstand-
ing the decision of the Comptroller
General" Donovan said, ana II Is
recommended that this matter be
again submitted to the Comptroller
a request for his reconsideration.
"The intent of Congress in the
premises, as the auditor views the
matter, is very clearly disclosed by
the report Of the conference on the
District bill for the fiscal year 1927,
and statements made by the chair
man of the House conferees on the
floor OF the House.
Major Donovan goes on 10 e&'
plain that the members of the com
mittee had clearly outlined their
intent to him and that the reappro-
priation was to be applied to the
projects for which it is being re-
quested.

mentioned which reads: Relating

RULE To MAKE

Health Officer William C. Fowler
will recommend adoption by the
District Commissioners tomorrow of
a new regulation, providing added
protection of-sthe public from con-
tariination Of foodstuffs,' it was
understood at the District Building
today. -.
1t will be asked that the new
regulation supercede an old rule
with which fault was found by
Maurice Rosenberg, attorney for
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, and which the city
heads asked DIR. Fowler to revise.
In a campaign against unclean
| foodstuffs, particularly meats, sold
openly in the Center Market, DR..
Fowler proceeded on a regulation
which required dealers to keep ade-
quate covering over their displays
and to keep the temperature of the
surrounding air at not less than SO
degrees.
The merchants complained to the
Commissioners that the regulation
was unfair and worked an undue
hardship on them, SO DR.. Fowler
was ordered to communicate with
health departments in other cities
with the view Of drawing a new
rule.
While the new regulation does
not provide for keeping the temper
allure at any specified degree. DIR.
| Fowler said that it more clearly
defines the word covering and
that satisfactory protection will be
afforded If the Commissioners ap.
prove his recommendations. he
! based his findings on communities

regulation as Objectionable as the
