Mr. Bride said all the existing vol- umes of District regulations should be given an overhaulinng.

The District government now has a E | committee charged with the duty of proposing & redraft of many of the vol- umes of regulations, but because of its other duties, Mr. Bride said, no effec- tive work has been done to date. ——— VETERANS OF Y.M.C.A. 2\ WILL HOLD REUNION - Exactly as Pictured Note: Smart : Ten-Leg Table 3 9 This $I39Ten-Piece Genuine Walnut Veneered A brand-new ten-piece suite of genuine walnut veneer on gumwood—a suite de- signed to impress even the most casual shopper, well built and nicely finished.
