The accountants have listed. but not sun ized, claims that might be set up against the District on behalf of the federal government. The sugges- tion of such claims is inferential, ver, and may not be regarded as mmendations of the accountants. ¢ call the attention of the congressional committee to these mat- ters. The first of these Inferred claims has to do with $1. of uncol- lected taxes in 1875, when the half- and-half plan of appropriating for the District was first set up. these taxes fell due no provision of law existed for apportioning _this amount between the District and the federal government, and it was credit- ed to the general fund of the District when collected. It is not believed by District offi- cials that the federal government can properly lay claim to any of thiy money in the circumstances. Another item dealt with by the ac- countants as a possible claim against the District i the District’s propot- tion of & bond fssuc of 1879 amount- ing to $1,092,300, the principal and interest of which was paid off out of the appropriations for the District sinking fund, although the terms of the act authorizing the issue were to the effeet that the United States should to be built in Washington by the so- clety to replace the old, unattractive bufldings which have hitherto housed the headquarters of the Salvation Army in Washington. G. W. U. SHOWS STEADY GROWTH IN DECADE President Hodgkins Cites Figures Proving Big Jump in Registration. “The student registration of the uni- wersity has greatly increased during the last decade,” said Dr. Howard L. Hodgkins, president of George Wash- ington University, at the annual meat- ing of the trustees of the university last night. “In 1910-11 the registration was 1,270; o far this session there have been 4,439 enrolled, and, when the second term registration com- plete, it expected the total enroll- ment will exceed 4,800. The enroll- ment of full-time students hag in- creased rapidly. There are more than 1,300 full-time students in the uni- versity. h attendance has increased every year since the close of the war. The increase in day students has been motable. In arts and sciences in 1918-1919 there were 291 full-time and 1,717 part-time students. There are now 950 full-time and 2,293 part- time student. “Iin the arts and sciences faculty there are now forty-one full-time teachers, fifteen of whom are listed in ‘Who's Who' and seven who are list- ed in ‘American Men of Science’ Of the entire teaching staff of the uni- versity, including part-time teachers, sixty out of 280 are in one or both of these books of reference. “The university is sound and healthy, financially and educational- 1y, said Dr. Hodgkins in conclusion. 1t has an established position in this eity and among the educational in- stitutions of the country. t is lool ed to to establish additional courses in the fields of economics, political science and business administration.” Cow Takes City Championship on 9,790 Lbs.

Still another item which it was sug- gested might be charged against the District was $345,102.52, the District’s roportion of the $240 benus to cer- ain employes of the District Supreme Court, the District Court of peals, the office of publc buildings and grounds and the Zoological Park. The accountants suggested also that the District might be chaarged for a share_of the pay of the Army officers who have been stationed here, oc- cupying various positions in the Dis- trict government, which accountants figure at $282,422.18. The District’s share for the pur- chase of additional lands for the Zoo- logical Park, amounting to $82,500, is referred to as another possible claim. For the relief of Eldred G.
