Urges City Heads to Press
Bill to Modernize Statute
Enacted in 1902.
IN CONGRESS
DURING TWO SESSIONS
Crosby to Make Close Study of
Plan to Afford Public Greater
Protection.

Wade H. Coombs, superintendent of
licenses OF the District, submitted A re-
port to Commissioner Herbert q. Cros-
Dy yesterday urging the Commissioners
70 take steps to have Congress enact At
the forthcoming session the bill de-
signed TO revise and modernize WASH
lngton's 28-year-old license tax law.
The bill was written by a special
committee OF District and Federal gov
eLnment omcials after a careful and
tnorougn study OF the existing Law,
Wnlcn IL branded as Anticipated, made
quate and fraught with INEQUALITIES
Mr.. Coombs was a member of this com.
mlttee Other members were Ringgold
Hart former principal assistant coruo-
ration counsel, and D. P. Evans of the
united states Bureau of EFFICIENCY.
Inc Dill was introduced in the House
IN January, 1929, by Representative
GIBSON OF Vermont. Here it has Ian
gulshed through two sessions of Con-
gress.
Would Increase Authority.
Though designed primarily to remove
the alleged inequities in the existing
license law, which has undergone only
few minor notifications since its an
actment In 1902, the bill would afford
greater protection to the public by Civ
ing the commissioners and the Police
Department increased authority to reg
ulate and control those businesses that
have long escaped close municipal su-
pervision.
Special provisions were written into
the measure to give the Commissioners
and the police control and regulation of
professional guides, private detectives,
solicitors and dealers in dangerous
weapons. Other provisions provide for
closer supervision over public baths,
employment agencies, bowling alleys
and pool and billiard parlors.
Crosby Will Study Bill.
The most drastic provisions, however,
are aimed at mediums, clairvoyants,
soothsayers, fortune tellers, palmists
and phrenologists, whose license fee
would be increased from $25 to $3.50 q
year. A two-year residence in the Dis
trict also would be prerequisite for
license.
Commissioner Crosby said he would
study the bill carefully, and II 1t met
with his approval he would recommend
that the Board of Commissioners seek
its enactment at the coming session of
Congress.
