Defends the Exise Board Against Saloon League Criticism
Assessor Darneille, chair of the excise board, defends current liquor license policies as just and honest. He says protests by residents and property owners are carefully considered and that majority objections require board rejection of renewals. He rejects calls for reform or separation of the excise board, citing consistent enforcement and past rejections when lawful.

Bill to let Police Court judges put sanity questions to juries
District Commissioner yesterday urged favorable action on Chairman Gallinger’s bill to amend the District code regarding insane criminals. The measure would authorize Police Court juries to determine sanity or insanity of criminals, preventing releases on nolle prosequi and later dangerous lunacy actions. It aims to cover crimes by insane persons not indictable or within Supreme Court jurisdiction but actionable by information.

District Commissioners Too Many? Senate Bill Sparks Debate
The District Commissioners recommended against Senate bill 4031 to raise the roster to seven and impose a residence rule. They argue no mandate for expansion, warn it would complicate duties and raise costs, and cite the 1878 organic act favoring a small, resident body. They urge restraint and cite a trend toward centralized authority.
