HOUSE DACE BILL
E_
Northeast Citizens’ Associa
tion Reaffirms Stand on
Representation.
TTnanlmous approval of a bill, now
being studied by the Senate Judiciary
Committee, providing for national
representation for the District, was
expressed last night at a meeting of the
Northeast Citizens' Association.
Evan H. Tucker, president of the
group, said the Northeast association
had for many years supported and
fought for such a measure and that
he was happy to see the sentiment of
the group was unchanged.
The association voted unanimously
its disapproval of the bill now pend
ing in Congress providing for legal
ized horse racing in the District.
Tucker said tne District would do
well to avoid this “insidious form of
gambling.''
The association opposed a bill per
mitting District teachers who have
completed six years of service and
have been recommended by their su
periors for not more than one year for
the purpose of study and improve
ment at one-half or one-third pay.
Approval was voted for a proposed
amendment to he District weights
and measures act, providing that any
single package of coke or coal weighing
SO. 25, or 15 pounds have the package
weight and the name and address of
the dealer plainly stamped thereon.
The association moved that the Dis
trict code of laws should be revised
on the ground that the number of
amendments already approved and
pending approval made the docu
ment unwieldly and in some instances
almost ambiguous. They also voted
disapproval for the proposed pen
aioning of District police. Municipal
and Juvenile Court judges who have
reached the age of 65 and have 12
years’ service, holding the length of
service was not long enough to justify
such pensions.
