It is a very unpoitant and responsible position and one which may be used to develop a more systematic administration of the district charities than has been poss ible lieietoforc. In my service in congress, and especially since my service on the appropriation committee having charge of the district bill, it has always been a difficult thing toasccitain just what amounts should be appropriated for charities. There arc so many excellent institutions and it is difficult to divide between them so as to give each just the exact amount each should have out of the limited revenues of the district. 1 expect by the time the estimates for the next fiscal year arc made out we shall have some great improve ments from the experience the superintendent of charities will have had by that time.'
