LOAN SHARK ACT
CHANGES DESIRED
Seal to Urge That Procurer as
Well as Lender by Brought
Under Regulations.

Amendment Of the 1918 District
loan shark act, In new move to bring
under regulation the procurer of the
loans as well as the lender himself, will
be recommended to the Commissioners
Tuesday by Corporation Counsel Ell
wood H. Seal.
Because of repeated failures by Con-
gress to enact proposed new bills to
control the small loan business in the
District. Seal has decided to abandon
these efforts and to seek simple amend
ments of the 1918 act, which has been
practically imperative.
The bill would provide additional
definitions for the terms of the old act,
and make clear what is meant by the
restriction of the interest to per
cent per month ION the actual
amount" Of the loan, so as to gain
control over the variety of charges now
made by some loan agencies.
The Commissioners In the last two
sessions sought approval Of a substi-
tute for the old law, which would re-
strict the interest and all other costs
to 2 per cent per month. including
any charges made by the agents of the
lender. The proposals were blocked.

TO OPRESS FOR j. S.
|. AID ON D. c. ROADS
House Roads Committee
Head Plans to Revive
Provision.

AS soon as the Senate passes the
District tax bill Chairman Cartwright
Democrat of Oklahoma, of the House
Roads Committee intends to make
another effort to pass bill sponsored
by himself and Senator King, chair
man Of the Senate District Committee,
to extend Federal aid for road building
to the District OF Columbia. Under
that bill, which has already passed the
Senate, the District would receive some
100000 in Federal funds for high
ways.
Cartwright said he is confident he
can win favorable action this session.
His ef1ort is, in a way contingent on
provision to turn into the galosine
tax fund, the estimated additional
revenue Of sl5O0,00O from the weight
tax on automobiles.
The gasoline tax fund Is definitely
ear marked for highway improvement
costs, for the support OF the District
Office OF vehicles and traffic and for
the Traffic Bureau of the Police De-
partment.
Chairman Cartwright expects to get
this bill passed in spite OF the fact
that the departmental report is ad-
verse, and the appointments have
all been made for the coming fiscal
year. He points out that the general
highway bill in the next session
probably will include the District as a
recipient of Federal funds. but he
intends to safeguard against any con-
tingency by having direct authorize
ton legislation passed at this session.
He feels that the District is entitled
to share in the Federal grants as
during the past two years. He points
out that the reason his committee
previously tabled this measure was
because there was then a grave danger
that some, at least, Of the gasoline
tax fund would be diverted to other
than highway uses.
The members of the committee
were entirely in sympathy with allow
ing the District to share in the Fed
eral grants, but did not approve of
corresponding amounts being diverted
from the gas tax fund to other uses.
