since the meters were first installed
November IA, 1888.
The comparative ease with which
the meter doors could be opened and
the coins removed suggested a
change in meter construction so
coins would fall into the hollow por-
ton of the stanchion supporting
the meter Hence. the mechanics
developed a lock mounted II inches
below the top of the post.
Sixteen of the neW-type meters
were installed experimentally on
Market Space July 3 and although
the doors to one were broken into
no money was taken. The council
asks that any new meters be of this
type and that Traffic Director w. A.
Van Duzer be authorized to equip
the other meters now in service
similarly.
Extension Of Use Sought.
Extension of the parking meters
OF strengthened type has been
consistently advocated by the Com
missioners. but one bill drawn for
the purpose of congressional au-
thorization was killed and only last
week the House District Committee
declined to introduce another meas
ure. According to a District official,
| some members Of the committee
were opposed to making people pay

No other city has the difficulty
protecting its parking meters that
the Capital has run into. according

mittee by Mr.. Van Duzer. The
group itself communicated with the
traffic officials in Pittsburgh. who
advised they had no trouble in this
respect.
The investigators found that in

in November, 1898, to the end OF
| the following June was something
more than $4,000. The next flsca,
year brought in $4,000 and the last
fiscal year. ending last June 80, saw
receipts drop to $4,000.
During the past year. which saw
nearly a $4,000 falling off in in

average was about four breakins

Poor White Youths Blamed.

A few adults have been arrested
breaking into meters and up until
few months ago not a single COL
ored boy had been identified with
the crimes. although lately a few
have been arrested for such offense
Many Of the thefts are by "re-
peaters." From the records Of the
police and Juvenile Court the
probers drew this tale of a feeble
minded youth, now in custody, who
brags of his prowess IN robbing the
meters and has, it is believed, in

Younger Man
Forecast For
Head
Welfare Chief
Police Changes
Seen Affected

Observers close to District affairs
predicted yesterday that the Presi-
dent will appoint a younger man to
succeed Commissioner Hazen, who
died in his Office last Tuesday at the
age of 70.
Beyond this, however, little au-
thentic information is said to be
available on possible candidates, al
| though several names of local citi-
zens mentioned in connection with
past Commissioner vacancies have
| been discussed in unofficial circles
at the District Building.
The prediction of the younger
appointment was supported by the
fact that one of the two other Com
missioners, Brig. Gen. Charles w.
Kutz, is more than 10 years old.
Commissioner John Russell Young
was 50 last April 2.
Young Seen Chairman.
Because of usual custom that the
senior civilian Commissioner is
| chairman of the board, in all prob
ability Mr.. Young. who is now act
ing chairman, will become perma-
nent chairman.
Two District matters-the ap-
pointment of welfare director and
| the police reorganization ex-
pected to be affected by the vacancy
caused by Commissioner Hazen's
sudden death.
While the city heads were re-
ported unanimous in rejecting the
welfare boards nomination of Ray
L. Huff, director of District penal
institutions, and equally unanimous
in favor of Paul Edwards, the Dis
trict w. P. A. director, Commis-
sioners KutZ and HaZen were under
stood to be wavering on the ap-
pointment since the welfare board
sent back the name of HUFF a sec
ond time.
Huff Nomination Affected.
The result probably will be de-
lay in any appointment to the well
fare post until third Commissioner
is named. In the meantime Con-
rad Van Hyning, acting director of
welfare, will continue to direct the
welfare operations and may in the
end become the compromise candi-
date acceptable both to the welfare
board and the city heads.
In the case of the police reogan-
ization, Commissioner Hazen was
regarded as more friendly to the
present police administration than
Commissioner Young. Mr.. Young
probably will push the reorganiza-
ton Of the department. forcefully.
