WILL TEST OPINION -/ ON ZONING MEASURE Commission Has Difficult Question Raised by Embassy Petition. INVOLVES CITIZENS' RIGHTS Proposition Bone of Contention for Long Time. A test of public opinion relative to the addition of a provision to the District zoning law will be made tomorrow at the Zoning Commission meeting in the District building. The proy n in ques- ing a per structure ¥ area or location adver- tised for public hearing by the commis- sion when consideration of a cha the zoning plan is about to be given, This proposition has been a bone of contention since the institution of the zoning act in the District. The procedure in obtaining permits is the underlying basis. First Obtains Permit. A builder, for insta will go first to the zoning experts at the District that he can build rtain location without obtaining abutting or nearby property holders. He puts out his money for his plans. and : to the office of the h\nkln and gets his permit. Then th learn of it, and objections to t begin to pile in. But the ¢ have no authority to revoke the permit The spirit of the law is that the neighborhood should have ad suffi- inter Property pre- i from the rmits the vision pinion question have sufficient in- their section /uurd as it should be in th should they wait until a build contemplated before making test? om mbassy Represented.

HAVE PRECEDENT TO ACT Police Court Dockets Jammed With Cases Awaiting Trial. ‘The fund for payment of jurors for services in the United State$, District of Columbia and \ Trafic Court branches of the Police Court has been exhausted. There remains in the fund only $61. Unless the judges of the courts decide to continue the jury service, depending upon a deficiency appropriation with which to pay the jurors, the jury service will have to be discontinued until the end of the fiscal year, June 30. There is a precedent for the judges to continue the jury services where the fund for their payment has been exhausted. But it has not been de- termined by the judges in the pres- ent emergency just what will be done. The appropriation for payment of jurors in the police courts, a part of the District of Columbia general ap- propriation bill, for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, was $10,- 0 similar sum is provided in the appropriation bill of the District of Columbia !nr the fiscal year ending June 30, 19. The court asked for 314,000, but the amount was not al- he original sum of $10,000 a day costs the gover) day. Frequently bo! s r\fl at the same time, or rather the same day. A single el of twelve men at $3 costs $36. An- ticipating the depletion of the jury fund before the end of the fiscal year, the court officia asked the budget for an emergen allowance of $3.500, which the budget approved, and that has been embodied in a bill that is v before Congress. There are four jury days in the police courts—Tues- a ‘Wednesdays, Thursdays and ys. Practically in all of the major including violations of the na- prohibition law, defendants de- mand trial by juries as their right. in your personal appearance should not stop with your clothes.

C., WEDNESDAY, MAY TRAVELERS’ AID BODY ISSUES “YEAR BOOK” Official Volume Defines Purposes and Aims of Organization Assisting Stranger. The *Year Book” of the Travelers’ Ald Soclety now is being distributed. Arthur C. Moses, chairman of the society here, in.a statement appearing in the volume, has defined the alms and purposes of the organization. He also tells of the troubles that are lightened and cured by the workers at “the gateway to the city.” “A runaway child Is Intercepted by a Travelers' Aid worker and carefully protected until returned to its parents,” says Mr. Moses. “In many instances it is taken Into the private home of one of our good women if there is delay. If there were no Travelers' Ald Society that young girl or boy would have gone into the hands of the polico and to the house of detention, and the name and address of that harmless child would be a matter of police record.” Mr. Moses relates the character of the work being done at the Union station “both night and day.” ““We assist the invalid, the aged and the immigrant, who is as helpless as a child because of his ignorance of the language.” A board of representative men and women of Washington are giving their time to the direction of the work. John B. Larner of the Washington Loan and Trust Company is the treasurer. More than 325 municipilities in the United States have adopted the city manager plan of government. The dockets of the courts are now jammed with cases awaiting trial by juries. The discontinuance of the jury service would work a hardship on the offices of the assistant district attor- neys and asgistant corporation coun- sels as well as contribute largely to a further jamming of the already heavy trial dockets.
