Congress May Take Up Personal Bonds
Officials propose banning personal bonds used to enforce public health laws in the District. Health Officer Woodward argues personal bonds sustain nuisances, raise costs, and reduce inspection efficiency, urging Congress to prohibit the practice. The Commissioners plan to seek legal backing to curb or abolish the practice, noting it undermines multiple departments and public protection efforts.

Sanitary Demolitions Reported by District Committee
A district committee appointed by the Commissioners reports progress in improving sanitary conditions. It says premises at the southeast corner of Four-and-a-half street and Maing avenue southwest and 2109 Eleventh Street northwest were demolished after health inspections. The panel, including the Assistant Engineer Commissioner, the building inspector, and the health officer, notes more demolitions or condemnations likely next month as over a dozen houses have been inspected since the unit formed. The group finds many owners unaware of current conditions or neglect leading to decay.
