With the appointment of Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York to the Senate District committee the hgalth Interests of the District are sure to have a friend at court. Sen- ator Copeland has just written to the Washington Tuberculosls Association expressing his appreciation of his clection as & member of the board of directors and saying, “I accept with pleasure and shall be glad to aid in your work in any way possible.” That the health work of the District needs a friend Is evidenced by the lim- ited appropriation hitherto made for its SUppOrt.

The well known “Framingham experiment” has disclesed the fact that to attain 100 per cent results in public health work a minimum of $2 per capita is necessary. Sum Includes Salaries.

The will of Frank W. Bolgiano, dat- ed September 11, 1923, has been filed for probate. He gives 6,000 to his son, Charles W. Bolgiano, in trust for the benefit of the latter's wife, Nellle D. Bolgiano. The remalining estate Ig devised to his widow, Mrs. Bessie McE. Bolglano, in trust. She also is named as executrix. The trustee s directed to pay her- self $6,000; to mive $1,000 to the Aged Women's Home of the M. E. Church and $2,000 to the Swartzell M. E. Home for Children. Raymond B.

Prevost filed the will. SAYS FORCE EARNS HIHER PAY RATE Advances Proposed for Police and Firemen Inadequate, Mr. Britten’s View. The bill drafted for police and fire- men's pay s entirely inadequate for “a service which carries with it so much hardship, danger and unusual expense,” says Representative Fred A. Brittzz of Iiiinois. He urged upon Congress the desirability of paying the police and firemen all that the Iiistrict Commissioners recommena. Commenting upon the police-fire- mex's pay bill, which has been drafted by the budget bureau for action by Congress, Representative Britten sa his bill does not go far enough for a service which carries with it the hardship and unusual personal expense that this does. FUEL YARD FIGHT Will Present Plan to Dr. Work to Supply-U. S. atLittle or No Profit. Retail coal dealers of Washington will ‘g0 to bat” this week with & Proposition to submit to the Secre- tary of the Interlor which they hope will forever wipe out in Washington what they claim is government com- petition with a private businegs. Dealers, through the National Retail Coal Assoclation, have drawn up & proposal for submission to Secretary Work which they hope the head of the Interfor Department will find so good he cannot fall to accept it for the good of the government. The proposal will be submitted this week and may be followed by a hearing. The dealers are seeking to have the government fuel yard abolished. They claim they can and are pre- pared to furnish coal to the govern- ment departments at a cost lower than the cost of delivering it via the fuel yards. Testimony to this effect was submitted by a local dealer at a hcaring last winter before the United States Coal Commission. The pro- posal to bo submitted to Secretary Work 1s expected to reiferate this statement and to make a flat prop- osition for the government coal business in Washington. ‘Would Cut Profits. Dealers, it is understood, would be satisfied to take little or no profit on government c¢oal business over a period of several years if, by &0 doing, they could be sure of uninter- rupted continuation of government purchases of coal from private con- cerns here. Secretary Wérk is not committed to a stand for either side’ in the mat- ter, although he has declared himself definitely against government com- {petition” with private business and has said either that the fuel yard should be abolished or that it should be enlarged and its resources thrown open to every government employe, instead of to a few officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, who now are able to purchase coal from the yard, in addition to the business done by the fuel yard in supplying the government departments, inde- pendent establishments and divisions of the District government with coal. They base their hope on acceptance of their forthcoming offer on Dr. Work's statement that he is not com- mitted beforehand to retention of the tuel yard without a clear explanation of its advantages being given and proven. At the present time these is on foot a project for enlargement of the yard by purchase of a consider- able area of ground near the present property.

E -In support.of a motion made in the United States Supreme Court today by the Chastleton Corporation and others against A. Leftwich_Sinclair to advance for early hearing, asser- tion was made by Counsel W. Gwynn Gardiner; that he is reliably informed that a bill has been prepared and will be introduced in Congress in the next fes days to extend the rent act of the District and make the 'Rent Com- mission permanent in the District of Columbia. The act, the oconstitu- tionality of which was attacked in this proceedings, expires May 22, 1924, before this case will be reachad for hearing on the calendar of _ the Supreme Court, unless advanced . for argument. Counsel said that the question of the constitutionality.of this act fs raised in this case by a bill in equity filed in the Supreme Court of the Dis- Lays pensation fight with asking no considerin, plaintifts therein, supported by ex- hibits of affadavits in which it is shown that no emergency existed in the District of Columbia at the time of the passage of this act extending the Rent Commission; that no emer- gency existed when they undertook to enforce the provisions of this act; that no emergency existed at the time of the filing of the bill in equity. Counsel as- serted that the clrcumstances are S0 special and peculiar and involve or af- fect. matters of general public Interest that' the case should be advanced. PLAN AMENDING U S.
