Commissioners Seek
No Greater Powers

John Russell Young, president of
the Board of Commissioners, YES
terday informed Chairman Ran
dolph of the House District Com
mittee that he saw no need for
legislation to enlarge the power
OF the Commissioners "at this
time"
Some months ago, Chairman
Randolph wrote the Commissioners
asking them to suggest any addi-
tional powers they thought were
necessary for proper and efficient
operation of the city government.
This followed enactment last year
of legislation giving numerous ad-
ditional powers. most of them of
a minor nature, to the city heads.
AS this was passed, Representative
Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana,
who sponsored the approved bill,
and Representative Dirksen, Re
publican, of Illinois, declared this
was only the beginning" of a
proper concentration of powers in
the Commissioners, who have full
responsibility" for District Govern
ment operataions, but, up to then,
little authority" N.
In his letter, Commissioner
Young thanked Chairman Ran
dolph and his committee for their
kind" suggestions, but said that
at this time the Commissioners had
no further powers to request"

Commissioners Approve
Food STORAGE Control Rule

The Health Departments pro-
posed regulation to control food
storage warehouses has been ap-
proved by the Commissioners and
forwarded to the District Regula-
tions Committee for incorporation
into the rules of sanitary inspection,
Commissioner Guy Mason said yes
terday.
The regulation was sought when
health authorities found themselves
powerless to license or control food
storage warehouse operators with
regard to sanitation.
Purpose of the amendment is to
place responsibility for sanitary
premises on the operators of the
storage places. It also would license
dealers storing food in the ware
houses.
At present, health department in
spectors can license and control food
storage plants only If they sell food
on the premises.

Bulk Of Hard Liquor
Sold Here Is Goinu
To Outside Buyers

More than half the liquor sold by
District retailers in case lots is 60
ing to purchasers outside the Dis
trict, William P. Meredith, a men,
ber of the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board, reported to Commits
sioner Guy Mason yesterday.
Mr.. Meredith told the Commits
sioner he had been attracted by the
large volume of liquor going across
the District line and made an in
vestigation.
I'VE, Of course, know that heavy
purchases are made by residents of
nearby Maryland and Virginia." he
said, but analysis of September
figures shows that almost half the
spirits sold outside the District went
to North Carolina and quite a lot
to West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Alabama and as far
away as Miami, Fla"
The board has also noted he said,
that a great deal of whisky. is sold
to hotel transients
1923 Gallons Travel.
During September, Mr.. Meredith
said, District retailers sold 2,455 GAL
Ions to District customers and 2,629
to outsiders. He pointed out these
figures cover only case lots and
there is no way of telling how much
is taken over the line in smaller
quantities.
Frequently We are asked by rep
utable citizens why they are unable
to purchase their favorite standard
brands, claiming that stores will not
sell them" he said. AN examina-
ton of the sales slips shows that
practically all brands, including
good Scotch, go out of the District
daily"
No Regulating Statute.
The ABC Board member said that
nothing on the District statute
books prevents local retailers from
selling as much as they want to
although the States set
up a 1-gallon limit on imports.
Declaring that something must be
done to protect. the District people,
Mr.. Meredith said the board prob
ably will call the wholesalers in and
show them where their goods are
going. The wholesalers then, he
said, could decide for themselves
whether to slow down or halt de-
liverieS to stores with heavy trade
across the District line.
His report on the situation, he
said, has also been brought to the
attention of members of Congress.
