ROBERTS SMOKE
BILL SCORED

Leveling a barrage Of criticism
at the smoke nuisance bill drafted
by Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts and introduced early this
week in both houses Of Congress,
P. c. Bowie today charged that
enactment of the proposed law
would bring about a higher cost
Of living in the Capital.
Mr.. Bowie is a member Of the
citizens committee appointed a
year ago by the Commissioners
to draft an effective antismoke
law. The committee reported last
December. The report has passed
back and forth between the Com.
missioners and corporation coun.
sci, to be drafted into law. While
this progressed, Mr.. Roberts SUBJ
mitted drafts of his bill to the
District Committee of Congress.
Favoring a small department
educated in the engineering prob
lens concerning control of smoke,
Mr.. Bowie declared the provisions
Of Mr.. Roberts bill may be con-
strued so as to mean that only
anthracite coal which produces
little smoke could be burned in
the District. This, he pointed
out, would be a death blow to
gas and fuel heating, bring about
raise in rents and in other ways
cause a raise in the local cost of
living.
