With great emphasis By S. NJ. M.
Mars. state superintendent OF pub
Tic instruction, in q communication
10 the office Of the county superin-
tendent this morning.
Although introduced BY Rep. Hol-

by Mars, who is responsible for

Among those VINO arc actively OBJ
posed 70 the bin are II. L. Miles,
president Of Edinburg college. Rep

opposition to the bill. and SuDerin-

Fred l. Johnston. secretary Of the
Mercedes school board. and George

fighting the bill.
In the communication Mars
states that the bill. should ID Der

The bill provides for the abolish
ment or the scholastic census. and
in its stead the counting OF children
actually in the school during &c
days OF the months OF January,
February and March.
This act would do much more
than any compulsory law 70 secure
the attendance Of the children. as
In l929-l930 Cnc-siNtn W the chill

means that more than S4OOa.U00

for whom the money was appor-
toned never entered school Mars
states.
Mars would apportion the
$4,000. 900 among the schools which
actually enroll The children. which
would be more nearly the case Il
the bill becomes q Law. he says.
The opposition III the Valley is
due to conditions Of the section, as

hereafter unless Congress ntereres the Commissioners have
full authority to make any regulation traffic and parking
they fit and enforce the fullest extent their regua

Congress became tired of consideration of traffic legislation
for the District and wiped hands of future bother by giving
to the police they have before had
matters Of such Importance.
At least effect will be that the courts will not be full Of
dpung the authority of the Commissioners to make and
enforce traffic and parking regulations Their authority to do
so is now too clearly established
This departure Of Congress from its former policies may be
