HOMERULE IRE
Forest Hills Association Of
fers Plan in Lieu of Fed
eration Suggestion.
National representation in the
House, Senate and electoral college and
a charter providing lor home rule lor
the District was lavored last night by
the Forest Hills Citizens' Association
In lieu ol the dralt ol the Federation
ol Citizens’ Associations’ plan lor the
reorganization ol the District gov
ernment.
v l. a. Carruthers, president, charged
the dralt ol the federation does not
concentrate authority and responsi
bility nor provide for any legislative
activity.
The tentative draft provides for a
council-manager form ol government,
the councilmen to be elected by voters
who have lived in the District at least
one year, the members ol the council
to be residents at least five years.
The council would act as a legis
lative or policy-forming organization,
with the power to pass any rule, reg
ulation, ordinance or other legislative
matter ordinarily enacted by the city
council or a State Legislature. It
also would be empowered to appoint
a city manager.
The right to borrow or to Incur In
debtedness would be denied except on
approval of Congress.
All Judges of primary, secondary or
courts of original Jurisdiction would
be elected In the same manner as the
council, or appointed by the council.
Judges of appeal, superior or su
preme courts would be appointed by
the President on recommendation of
the Department of Justice.
It was also recommended In Car
ruthers’ draft to Include provisions for
referendum and recall. All municipal
employes, under the proposed plan,
would be bona fide residents of the
District.
Copies of the proposed plan were
forwarded to the Federation of Citi
zens’ Associations.
Dr. Bertie Backus, assistant super
intendent of schools In charge of
character education, told the group
of the advantages In continuing the
experiment, started a year ago, but
eliminated from the District budget.
The association had previously gone
on record as favoring the continuance
of character education.
The group met in the Ben Murch
School.
More Autos Imported.
Passenger automobiles Imported Into
Sweden last year numbered more than
twice those of 1933.
