COOLIDGE FAVORS
NEW CHARITY LAW
Consolidation of Public Relief
Agencies Expected to Have
His Approval.
Revision or the charity and wel
fare laws of the District of Columbia,
which would include, among various
other things, a consolidation of the
various public agencies engaged in
ibis' work, is looked upon with favor
by President Coolidge.
In expressing the President's pe
tition regarding this proposition, a
spokesman for him today indicated
that the President, in all likelihood,
will readily affix his signature to a
bill bringing about this proposed
change. Besides this, it is thought
likely that the President will, when
the opportune time arrives, lend the
support of his office to the passage of
such a law.
Would Relieve President.
Aside from a natural interest in
the charity and welfane supervision
of Hie District, the President has a
direct interest in that lie is’ called
upon by law to appoint the board
of charities of the District and is
aeld responsible tor the ojouluet of
the office. The proposed adjust
ment of charity and welfane activi
llf's would include this board in the
consolidation and would reilioVe the
President of the responsibility of ap
pointing the board and of the re
sponsibility of its administration of af
fairs. ,
The President is further represent
ed as being strongly the belief
i hat consolidation of the various
charity and welfare agencies cannot
help but work for the general good
of the National Capital. He also Is
known to feel that then* is need for
• i change in the laws governing pri
t ate charity and welfare work whioh
works, independent of the publi-'J
agencies. It is thought that lie will
initiate steps within tint next year to
regulate private 'charity and welfare
work here.
