D. {. Drafts Bill
To Transfer ;
Court Functions
Moy Also Shift
Marriage Licenses
To Municipal Unit

Legislation to transfer three
functions of the United States
District Court for the District Of
Columbia to the local, District
government was ordered drafted
yesterday by the Commissioners.
Three other proposals for sirn-
liar transfers were ordered given
further study, while a seventh
transfer was turned down by the
city heads.
The Commissioners told Corr
poration Counsel Vernon Z.
West to draft legislation to end
the District Courts obligation to
keep records on the licensing Of
optometrists. The job presum-
ably will be done in the future
by the city's Department Of oc-
equations and Professions.
Shift on Trade Names
Similarly, legislation was Or
dered relieving the District
Court of keeping records on
trade names and trademarks, q
function expected to be trans
ferred to the Recorder Of Deeds.
Also, records of limited part
nerships, now kept in District
Court, would be shifted to the
District-probably the Recorder
of Deeds-under legislation Or
dered by the Commissioners.
The city heads indicated APP
proval of a suggestion, orig
inally made by Chief Judge
Bolitha j. Laws of District
Court, that the District Courts
jurisdiction over marriage
licenses here be transferred to
Municipal Court. They or
dered. however, that Chief
Judge Leonard p. Walsh of Mu-
nicipal Court be consulted to
make sure he agrees. before any
legislation is drafted.
Another Shift Studied
Further study was ordered on
a proposal to shift from District
Court to the Commissioners the
job of approving bond and keep
/ ing records on notaries public.
Part of this record keeping is
duplicated by the secretary to
the Board of Commissioners.
The Commissioners told their
management Office to check with
District law associations to see
whether there would be any OBJ
lection or inconvenience if public
notices of mechanics and hospi-
tai liens were kept by the Com
missioners instead of by District
Court.
| They turned down a recon-
mendation that records of United
States tax liens and District Of
Columbia tax liens be shifted
from District Court to the Com
missioners on the theory that
these documents are court iudg-
Iments and are needed in lawsuits.

Sc Cars to Need
Cos Octune Boost,
Magazine Predicts

Increased compression ratios
that will require premium gaso-
line approaching the l00-octane
mark are predicted for the 1866
auto, the magazine Petroleum
Week said today.
The forecast by the McGraw-
Hill publication calls for horse
power increases of about Is per
cent for almost all the Sc models.
More than 81 per cent of the
automobiles will have engines
of 81 compression ratios or
higher.
The continuing horsepower
race probably will force refiners
to increase premium grade gaso-
line to a national average of 81
90 octane before the end Of 1856.
the magazine says.
Other changes in the 1855 cars
will be requirement for less
motor oil, but more oil for auto
matte tranSmisSions. The new
cars also will see a complete
change-over from the old six
volt battery to the 12-volt sys-
tenn; a heavier trend to oil filters
and a great increase in dual ex-
haust systems.
