In September

Receipts Of the Henderson post Of
flee in September reflected the gen
eral let down in business resulting
from the closing of the Henderson
tobacco market just as it was start
ing the season. The decline for the

Loan Shark Act Changes
Aim Of City Heads

Plans Of the Commissioners to
make one more attempt to amend
the Districts old Loan Shark" Act,
30 as to bring the procurer of
small loans within its scope, were
announced yesterday by Corpora
,tion Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
He said he was preparing a letter
to the Budget Bureau, for the Com
missioners, asking If it would be in
accord with the policies of the Presi-
dent to forward the proposed legis-
lation to Congress for consideration.
For several years Congress has
ignored requests of District officials
for amendments of the old 1913 law,
either to provide new system Of
control over small loan charges or
TO strengthen the present act so
that the operations of the loan
procurer may be controlled.
The 1918 law limits interest
charges to / per cent per month,
but this does not include the charges
made by the procurer of the loan,
acting for the lender. The amend
ments to be offered by Mr.. Seal
would require that the charges of
the procurer, and all others, be
limited to per cent. Similar legis-
lation was suggested last year, and
earlier by former Corporation Coun-
Sel E. Barrett Prettyman.

protested 1887 assessment, the
amount of taxes collected in the

penses without the imposition of

wears, but that in 1925 Congress
paid only 1888 per cent of the
total costs. From 1925 to 1887 the
