tempt to regulate the business of
money lending in the District, and,
on the other hand, to issue to un-
licensed money lenders notary
commissions, essential to the
carrying on of the business.
The city heads approved Mr..
Gray's request that Geoffrey NJ
Thornett. secretary to the Board
of Commissioners. have his Office
stop issuing such commissions.

quire licensing of all money-lend-
ers, including those who, under
present law, may make loans at
less than per cent interest with
out any municipal control. is still
pending in District Court.
Earlier this year, Judge Henry
A. SchWeinhaut issued a prelim-
mary injunction preventing the
District from enforcing it's new
regulations controlling all lending
firms. The matter is scheduled
for trial this fall.
Mr.. Gray said that, meanwhile,
in cases where the unlicensed loan
company could prove it was not
