IT PASSES THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ADOPTED
AMOUNTS APPROPRIATED FOR IMPROVE
MENT AND REPAIR OF STREETS.
The Senate passed the District appropriation
bill Saturday afternoon with but few changes
from the shape in which it was reported by the
Senate appropriations committee. Mr. Plumb
explained that the paragraph to credit certain
accounts of fex-Commssioners was intended to
adjust and settle up certain acts of ex-Commis-
sioners Dent, Morgan and Twining, who made
certain expenditures which the controller OF
the Treasury decided they had not the legal
authority to make. Mr.. Plumb said those eX-
penditures were all legal and it was proper TO
settle them up. The amendment was adopted.
On motion Of Mr.. Sherman the amendment
relating to the withholding of ten per cent of
contractors money as security for their keep
ing the paving done by them in good order for
five years was amended SO as TO provide that
the interest accruing upon the bonds bought by
this ten per cent reserve fund, shall go to the
contractor The bill was then passed re-
ported.
