While general retail price in

vidual requests to raise price be-
cause of exceptional circumstances
will be considered, ONCE of Price
Administration officials told approx
imately 200 District retailers yester-
day.
The officials emphasized, however,
that applications for relief will not
be considered except in the most un-
usual circumstances. The retail
price ceilings become effective Mon
day.
DR.. Lloyd G. Reynolds. regional o.
P A. director at Baltimore, an
nounced that specialist would be
assigned to the District Rationing
Board Offices, 1740 Massachusetts
avenue NV. starting Monday, to
handle inquiries from merchants
here. Forms for adjustment OF price
ceilings will be available.
For Protection of Merchants, Too.
In addition to DR.. Reynolds, speak
ers included Callman Gottesman
and Walter B. Guy. Mr.. Guy ap-
peared for Whitney I,eary, District
rationing administrator. L. P. Nc
Lachlen, president of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, introduced DR..
Reynolds.
DR.. Reynolds said o. P. A. Iegu-
lations are designed to protect mer =
chants as well as consumers TO pre-
vent runaway prices. He made Ii
clear that manufacturers cannot in
crease their maximum March prices
because of increased labor costs.
He emphasized that O. P. A. OIL
cials regard themselves as pupllc
servants and want to render a serv-
ice. Flagrant and persistent viola
tors will be prosecuted, he said, out
the Government believes 80 per cent
of the retailers will cooperate in
stabilizing prices. Cooperation in
wolves constructive criticism, Dr.
Reynolds said, adding, this criticism

regulations workable over period

Price Lists to Be Filed.
Mr.. Gottesman termed incorrect
trade publication story TO the e.
feet that wardens would be named
to police the price fixing program,
thus destroying confidence in the
retailers" No such step is contem-
plated, he said.
Retailers will have until July
to file with o. P. A. a schedule of
their maximum prices prevailing in
March, Mr.. Gottesman said, and
emphasized that the actual price,
not the listed price, of goods sold
in March is the governing factor
in determining price ceilings.
The retailers were told that GUS
toners must be able to see the price
tags on all articles.

The old First Ward in the city OF
washington, as it once existed, will
ALWAYS be historically recalled for the
large number of prominent persons who
made this section their home prior to
the Civil War, and even up to and
including the period Of the Territorial
Government, which ended in 1874.
Many an old timer even today, in speak
ing of the part of the city in which
his people resided, never fails to place
emphasis on the First Ward" If that
happens to be the particular section
In which they lived.
However, knowing that the people Of
this city have no voting privileges. one
would naturally wonder why the Cap
ital was ever divided into wards. But
this is easily explained, since from
the year 1902, when the first charter
of the city was granted, it was divided
into three wards for the purpose Of
tax assessment and, no doubt, for elec-
ton purposes as we'll, since from this
ing of the Territorial Government re-
ferred to, the people of Washington
were permitted to vote on certain local
and official matters This right-or
privilege, If you would call it that-no
longer exists, however, nor do the wards,
except on some old map.
From the beginning, the original three
wards were located as follows: The
