They claimed they have been

The chase then led around the

Brandemberg then led his pur-

D. {. JAIL LOSS
REVEALED

Lack Of a competent business
manager on the Board of Public
Welfare has not only resulted in
wasted time and effort, but in di-
rect financial loss to the District,
according to a report submitted to-
day to the District Commissioners
by the Bureau of Efficiency.
Conditions at the District Jail.
the report sets forth, are such that
medical supplies are needed badly
and due to inefficiency somewhere
along the line such supplies have
been diverted to Lorton and have
remained there for a considerable
period.
The report goes on to state that
on recent occasion, medical sup.
plies which should have gone To
LortOn, OccOquan and the District
Jail, were shipped to Lorton and
remained there. Investigators from
the Bureau Of Efficiency, on one of
their periodical investigations, the
report sets forth, found medical in
struments and supplies heaped up
in room at Lorton, formerly used
as a laundry.
A direct slap at the efficiency
administration of the welfare board
Is taken by the bureau, which states
that business manager Is sadly
needed to care for the needs of the
various District penal institutions,
The boards method Of shipping
such supplies to Lorton is severely
criticised in the report and the
recommendation made that some
one be employed to route supplies
where they should go and to see
that they arrive and are distributed
at the proper end. - =,
