MID-CITY CITIZENS FAVORNEW BILLS Lunacy Board, Insurance for Taxis and Sale of Lots Approved. After a discussion by Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman of his | program for new District legislation, which now includes 11 drafts, the Mid- City Citizens’ Association last night approved the three points calling for | establishment of a lunacy comission, | compulsory liability insurance for taxi- cab owners and operators, and financ- | ing Municipal Center buildings by | selling two of the four blocks pur- chased as the site for the project. In discussing his proposal for a change in the present method of pass- ing on the sanity of a person, Pretty- man declared “this is one bill T very | much hope will pass in the next Con- | proposed bill, he said, are the “pro- curer” shall be treated as an agent of the lender, the interest rate shall be 2 per cent per month on the unpaid balance of the loan, and the Commis- sioners shall have the power to in- crease or decrease the fees and rate of interest. “This bill would give us our best weapon against the loan sharks,” he said. Deplore Police Remarks. The association went on record de- ploring the “alleged open public state- ments of certain police captains of the Metropolitan force to the effect they were unable to cope with the existing crime and gambling situation in the District.” At the same time the group com- mended Commissioner Hazen and Maj.

The group also voted to co-operate with the District Bar Association, the Police Department and the Federation of Citizens' Associations in the present war against crime and gambling. The association defeated a motion to oppose a recommendation of the Traffic Advisory Committee calling for a ban on‘all-night parking, during certain parts of the year, on 33 streets in the city gress.” Pointing out that at present | an alleged insane person must now undergo a jury trial, he said this plan has three deplorable aspects: If a charge of insanity is contested, the Jury must be shown the person in- volved is insane; relatives are forced to testify, and curiosity seekers make & practice of attending these trials. He declared the system “inhuman and barbarous,” and said the proposed new bill would do away with such treatment by leaving the decision of A person's sanity up to a commission | composed of two psychiatrists and one lawyer who would consult with physi- cians, if necessary. Suggests Lot Sales. The association suggested the two squares near the District Supreme Court Building be selected as the site for the first Municipal Center unit which would house the Municipal, Juvenile, Police and Probate Courts &nd the office of register of wills. Regarding the proposed bill to regu- | late the small loans business, Pretty- | man said: “Congress must pass this | legislation or the small loans business | men will be driven out of business—or | at least out of Washington if we are forced to take drastic action to enforce the existing laws governing small lo: " The important points of the NEWS —Primary VITAMIN A The “Anti-Infective® Vitamin Is now contained in SMITH BROTHERS COUGH DROPS Emineat doctors state that thi: is Nawre's “Anti-Infective” agent.
