When the estimates of the Commis- sioners were drawn up, $862,000 was considered as a figure which would adequately meet the repairing needs of District streets by the highway department’ The department pruned this estimate, however, to $800,000 and let it'ride into the Commissioners® office. This $800,000 was to be dis- tinct from the item for repairs to suburban roads, which is a sub- nite as to what constitutes the nec- essary domocile, and as for affording safeguards, he contends that the statutes should require a longer period of residence within the state than the one year now required un- der the law. A longer period of resi- dence in the state would, he said, be evidence of the good faith on the part of the applicants for divorce and would tend to indicate that he or she intended making Virginia his pl‘{mlnen(d;mme. s an additional safeguard, Judge Moncure would amend the law so i: to -require each attorney filing a divorce suit to accompany the appli- cation with a certificate to the effect that he had personally investigated the question of residence on the part. handling the prohibition cases lately, said today that liquor cases were being disposed of rapidly and in a just manner. “We have had a lot of cases pend- ing in court for a long time, and it is necessary to get them cleared up,” he sald. “Jurios in many cases will not return a conviction, and to get the cases out of the way I think it is best to recommend a small fine 8o as to got the defendants to plead guilty.

Judge Hardison and I have-also worked out a plan to prohibit the leaving of col- rested. There have not been any recent raids, perhaps because of the fact that the bookies had found new loca- tions, which, however, are again be- coming more or less well known. In view of this iti is to be expected that a grand moving is aginst under way among the bookmakers, for the more they keep on the move the safer will their business be.

Offenders for the second time who are being brought into court are being given penalties. In many cases which I have asked for a small fine, the evidence has not been cqmplete, and unless the defendants knew they could get off at once on a small fine, they would demand jury trial and probably get off ail together.” SEEKING STORM DATA, WEATHER BUREAU FINDS Will Not Be-Open After 4.30 To- day or Tomorrow.
